The Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) system provides a unique educational experience for thousands of military and civilian dependents living in foreign countries. The blend of military life with a host nation culture creates a challenge for both students and educators. Health education in the international setting provides a social and cultural experience which is not readily f...

The burden of injury and illness resulting from this long period of combat operations, and the unique clinical and logistical considerations it engendered provide a compelling rationale for requirement-driven, well-c...

Detection of chemical vapor clouds has been a military concern since the first use of chemical warfare. Growing concern for environmental pollution has additionally driven development of remote chemical vapor detectors.1 The FUR (forward looking infrared) is an 8to 12-rim thermal imager widely used in the military for target acquisition and night vision. Chemical vapors are spectrally active in...

1. introduction tarikh-e baihaqi has been most often read as a seminal work of literature; by virtue of this fact, a great deal of its merits has been eclipsed. in this very research, the extent of demonstrating the prominence of war and military related issues will go under a close scrutiny. the prime assertion of this research states that tarikhe-e beihaqi presents a panoramic view of war and...

Military operations become more and more complex. Information overload, and uncompleted and uncertain data made military information system design a challenge that would confer or withhold information superiority. The latter could represent military superiority especially in complex warfare such as urban operations or counterterrorism. This paper proposes a process for military information syst...

The Imagery Exploitation System/Balanced Technology Initiative (IES/BTl) inputs synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery and outputs probabilistically ranked interpretations of the presence and location of military force membership, organiza­ tion, and expected ground formations. There are also probabilistic models of underlying terrain types from a tactical perspective that provide evidence supp...
