Rome is certainly one of the places in the world which speaks to us of twins more than any other, and, in Rome itself, the Gapitoline Hall of the Horatii and Guriatii triplets. From the myth of Romulus and Remus, history gradually passes through the tale of the triplets from Rome and Albalonga, who prevented a bigger war, up to the memory of the Emperor-philosopher Marcus Aurelius, who had twin...

This paper presents an analysis of the acoustic emissions emitted by an underway REMUS-100 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that were obtained near Honolulu Harbor, HI using a fixed, bottom-mounted horizontal line array (HLA). Spectral analysis, beamforming, and cross-correlation facilitate identification of independent sources of noise originating from the AUV. Fusion of navigational record...

Common wisdom suggests that intelligence, what is more clearly termed academic or verbal intelligence, should predict both emergence into positions of leadership (smart people are selected as leaders or figure out how to become leaders) and leadership effectiveness (smart people are better at determining strategy and solving complex problems). Although there is a positive relationship between v...

Use of a REMUS-100 AUV to obtain hydrographic observations beneath coastal sea ice offshore of Barrow, Alaska is described. The work is motivated by the desire to obtain crossshore hydrographic transects that would provide estimates of the transport of relatively dense, salty water from the Chukchi Sea to the Arctic Ocean in winter. The horizontal scales (~10 km), maximum water depths (~100 m) ...

This paper describes field experiments with an X8 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operating as a wireless communication relay while loitering over a REMUS 100 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) being at the ocean surface. The paper describes the design of the communication relay payload, network configuration, optimal flight conditions and UAV antenna mounting, and experimental results. Experime...

Reliability is especially important for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that have made the transition to operational use. However, in contrast to the unmanned air vehicle community, there has been little sharing in the open literature of detailed fault histories of commercial AUVs from which an assessment of their reliability can be made. In this paper, we declare the fault history of two...

Abstract Spodoptera frugiperda is a newly discovered pest in Indonesia. S. attacks can cause crop failure and significant losses. As preventive control measure, research was conducted to determine the most effective parasitoid controlling . This used egg parasitoids ( Telenomus remus Trichogramma chilotraeae) larval Microplitis manilae ). done by exposing 50 eggs of each ten larvae M. Ten repli...

In this paper is presented an example of the use of fractal approaches in the field of online handwriting processing. The adaptation of the box counting method to the computation of online handwriting fractal dimension is presented. The influence of different parameters is studied. This allows understanding why the value of the proposed parameter is invariant towards the tablet or the speed or ...
