This paper develops a theoretical model of the internal processes of the Orientation step of Boyd's OODA loop model. The Orientation step is important from an Information Warfare perspective as it is where the decision-maker combines their existing knowledge with new information. Any new information is a potential target for manipulation by Information Warfare attacks. The operation of the two ...

We investigate a mean-eld model which has previously been used to explain the response properties of orientation selective neurons in the primary visual cortex of monkeys and cats 2]. Two mutually coupled orientation hypercolumns are setup as local ampliiers based on local recurrent excitation and inhibition. We rst investigate the individual hypercolumns. The model correctly predicts contrast ...

This paper is concerned with the rheological modelling of untreated Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) suspended within an epoxy resin and its application in nanocomposites forming processes. The untreated CNT suspensions exhibited significant steady shear-thinning and contained optically resolvable aggregate structures. A simple orientation model, based on a Fokker-Planck advection–diffusion description,...

The selection of the sample in a survey constitutes significant parameter for research process. A disagreement opinions is observed field management between researchers regarding which fabricates better results surveys administered public organizations. Some them support that only senior levels hierarchy should participate (Elite Orientation Model), while others participation representatives fr...

This paper presents a method for airway tree segmentation that uses a combination of a trained airway appearance model, vessel and airway orientation information, and region growing. We propose a voxel classification approach for the appearance model, which uses a classifier that is trained to differentiate between airway and non-airway voxels. This is in contrast to previous works that use eit...

Visual activity after eye-opening influences feature map structure in primary visual cortex (V1). For instance, rearing cats in an environment of stripes of one orientation yields an over-representation of that orientation in V1. However, whether such changes also affect the higher-order statistics of orientation maps is unknown. A statistical bias of orientation maps in normally raised animals...

In the present research, nonlinear vibration in a coupled system of Boron-Nitride nano-tube reinforced composite (BNNTRC) oil pipes is studied. Single-walled Boron-Nitride nano-tubes (SWBNNTs) are arranged in a longitudinal direction inside Poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix. Damping and shearing effects of surrounded medium are taken into account by visco-Pasternak model. Based on piezoele...
