Traditional manually establish a military scenario is a time-consuming and costly task. The question of representing the mission plan associated with military scenario domain does not yet have a single firm solution. While there is a clear need to capture the internal relationships among the military scenario resources, including unit, equipment, task, force, and COA. The main aim of this resea...

Average temperatures around the world are already increasing, and climate change projections suggest that global mean temperatures will continue to rise. As the effects, and projected effects, of climate change are becoming clearer, it is more apparent that the health effects of heat exposure will need further investigation. The risks associated with heat exposure are especially relevant to und...

Does Military Draft Discourage Enrollment in Higher Education? Evidence from OECD Countries Using data from 1960-2000 for OECD countries, we analyze the impact of compulsory military service on the demand for higher education, measured by students enrolled in tertiary education as a share of the working-age population. Based on a theoretical model, we hypothesize that military draft has a negat...

Military Draft and Economic Growth in OECD Countries Economic theory predicts that military conscription is associated with static inefficiencies as well as with dynamic distortions of the accumulation of human and physical capital. Relative to an economy with an all-volunteer force, output levels and growth rates should be lower in countries that rely on a military draft to recruit their army ...

In this paper, a new design of permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) for electromagnetic launcher system (EMLs) has been investigated in terms of the requisite amount of average launching thrust force and thrust force ripple minimization through finite element method. EMLs are a kind of technology used to develop thrust force and launch heavy loads with different applications includ...

The paper describes airborne sensor networks for target tracking and identification in military applications. The raw information about targets from airborne sensors is uncertain and often noisy. One challenge in airborne sensor networks is how to effectively fuse enormous amounts of uncertain and noisy information for better battlefield situation assessment. In this paper we present a novel ap...
