Since future air combat missions will involve both manned and unmanned aircraft, the primary motivation for this research is to enable unmanned aircraft with intelligent maneuvering capabilities. During air combat maneuvering, pilots use their knowledge and experience of maneuvering strategies and tactics to determine the best course of action. As a result, we try to capture these aspects using...

This paper discusses the maneuvering control algorithm based on all-wheel independent driving and steering control techniques for special purpose 6WD/WS vehicles. The maneuvering control algorithms considering superior dynamic characteristics of high power in-wheel motors and independent steering system are designed to perform driving and steering control, vehicle stability control, and fault t...

OBJECTIVE The roles of victim and offender alcohol use in the outcomes of sexual assault incidents (rape completion, injury and medical care) were studied. METHOD Data from 859 female sexual assault victims identified from the National Violence against Women Survey were examined. RESULTS Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that offender drinking was associated with greater likelihood ...

Neuroscience is increasingly used to infer the cognitive capacities of offenders from the activity and volume of different brain regions, with the resultant findings receiving great interest in the public eye. This field experiment tested the effects of public engagement in neuroscience on attitudes toward offenders. Brainstorm is a play about teenage brain development. Either before or after w...

Maneuvering targets are di cult to track for the Kalman lter since the target model of tracking lter might not t the real target trajectory and the statistical characteristics of the target maneuver are unknown in advance. In order to track such a heavy maneuvering target, the estimation of the target turndirection is necessary. The two-stage estimator using advanced circular prediction which c...

The failure to detect anomalies and maneuvering of the orbits of navigation satellite sensors will deteriorate the performance of positioning and orbit determination. Motivated by the influence of the frequent maneuvering of BDS GEO and IGSO satellites, this paper analyzes the limitations of existing methods, where BDS orbit maneuvering and anomalies can be detected, and develops a method to so...

The death penalty serves two primary public interests: retribution and deterrence.1 Retribution is the interest that the offender receives punishment in accordance with the culpability of the offender.2 Deterrence is the public interest in discouraging potential offenders from committing capital crimes.3 Implementing the death penalty on the intellectually disabled4 does not satisfy these inter...

Drawing on an ESRC funded qualitative longitudinal study of young fatherhood, this article explores the experiences of young offender fathers, the complex intersection of offender and fatherhood pathways for young men and the impact of professional support and tailored intervention programmes on these processes. The article challenges the axiom of young offender fathers as inherently 'risky', a...

Maritime transport has been playing a decisive role in global trade. Its contribution to the air pollution of the sea and coastal areas has been widely recognized. The air pollutant emission inventories of several harbors in China have already been established. However, the emission factors of local ships have not been addressed comprehensively, and thus are lacking from the emission inventorie...
