Maritime Interdiction (MI) operations are an increasing important element of the littoral environment. This is demonstrated by the International anti-piracy operations around the Horn of Africa and the establishment of the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Centre (Crete, Greece). The type of MI operation described is the insertion of a ship boarding team, via high speed craft, fro...

Background: Bridge deck inspection is essential task to monitor the health of the bridges. Condition monitoring and timely implementation of maintenance and rehabilitation procedures are needed to reduce future costs associated with bridge management. A number of Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) technologies are currently used in bridge deck inspection and evaluation, including impact-echo (IE),...

One of ship type like this is Bulk Carrier. must be designed in suitable way because its influence ultimate strength since hull girder under longitudinal bending moment. application on ship’s deck should considered for design critreria. objective present study analyze with and without subjected cross section box used effect stren...

Multihull vessels such as trimaran have been well known to better transverse stability and can provide wider deck area found be quite successful when operated passenger carriers. Trimaran has also produce lower resistance, hence power less fuel consumption, compared monohulls. The current research investigates the viscous interference hull of a displacement at various spacing configuration (up ...

A simple probabilistic model is devised to determine the number of shuffles required for the bottom card of a deck to become uniformly distributed with a specified tolerance. This number is a lower bound on the number of shuffles needed for the entire deck to be randomly mixed. We wish to find a lower bound on the number of riffle shuffles required to mix a deck of k cards. In such a shuffle, t...

The p-shuffle is a natural generalization of the dovetail shuffle. It is defined as follows. First, the deck is cut into a top stack and a bottom stack so that the distribution of the size of the top stack is Binomial (N, p), where N is the total number of cards in the deck. Then, conditional on the outcome of the cut, the two stacks are “riffled” in such a way that all possible riffles (interl...

A modified k-deck of a graph is obtained by removing k edges in all possible ways and adding k (not necessarily new) edges in all possible ways. Krasikov and Roditty used these decks to give an independent proof of Müller’s result on the edge reconstructibility of graphs. They asked if a k-edge deck could be constructed from its modified k-deck. In this paper, we solve the problem when k = 1. W...

Suppose that A is a subset of an abelian group G. To know the 3-deck of A is to know the number of occurrences in A of translates of each possible multiset {0, a, b}. The concept of the 3-deck of a set is naturally extended to L1 functions on G. In this paper we study when the 3-deck of a function determines the function up to translations. The method is to look at the Fourier Transform of the ...
