The software application known as THE HTA TOOL was developed, noncommercially, under the auspices of the Human Factors Integration Defence Technology Centre (HFI-DTC). This is a UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) initiative. The original driver was a growing demand for the computerisation of Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA), a well recognised, if 40 year old, methodology. HTA is used predominantly in...

We are interested in discovering if “Influence” is measurable. We define influence as the power of producing effects using either kinetic and non-kinetic actions, or a combination of both. This paper will focus on the use of non-kinetic means to achieve the effect of encouraging non-combatants to vacate a potential hostile environment. By considering influence as a key element of effects based ...

On January 12th, 2003, the Cosmic Hot Interstellar Plasma Spectrometer Spacecraft (CHIPSat) launched successfully from Vandenberg Air Force Base as a secondary payload on a Delta II booster. CHIPSat completed commissioning in February 2003, and is now a fully operational observatory. The main science objective is to measure extreme ultraviolet emissions from the interstellar medium. Data on the...

SynthesizedTextures represent continuous-tone images with a small set of vectors and color profiles. This representation is not only efficient in terms of compression ratio but also serve as the basis of photorealistic animations in AFX. Unlike standard synthetic texture techniques, the SynthesizedTexture imaging starts with analysis of photorealistic images or video sequences and conversion to...

Analyses of 22,508 holoplanktonic chaetognaths collected at 21 stations were made from four oceanographic campaigns along the coasts of Quintana Roo, Mexico, in 1991 (Caribe I = February; Caribe II = March; Caribe III = May; Caribe IV= August). Unencysted larval didymozoid parasites were identifi ed as belonging to the Monilicaecum type because of the arrangement of the chambers of the heavily ...
