Over the last decade or so micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology has been widely used in many navigation applications such as pedestrians, aircraft, land vehicles and robots, because of its advantages in terms of price, accuracy and size. This paper presents a novel low-cost multisensor hardware platform known as “NAVCON”, which is designed for navigation and control of quad-rotor un...

The COCOMO II model was created to meet the need for a cost model that accounted for futuresoftware development practices. This paper describes some of the experiences learned in calibrating theCOCOMO II Post-Architecture model from the 1997 dataset of 83 observations. The results of themultiple regression analysis, their implications, and the future calibration strategy of Bayesian...

Abstract This paper presents an energy calibration scheme for upgraded reactor antineutrino detector the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT). The PROSPECT collaboration is preparing detector, PROSPECT-II (P-II), to advance capabilities investigation of fundamental neutrino physics, fission processes associated flux, nuclear security applications. P-II will expand st...
