Extensive testing, at pressure "'evels from 3U to 758 MPa (5,000 to 110,000 PSI) was done at Aberdeen Proving Ground to evaluate 15 different types of electrical pressure transducers used in large caliber weapons. When using a given tvoe of transducer, the ability to consistently distinguish dynamic pressure variations as small as 0.2% was demonstrated. Yet different models of pressure transduc...

air defense is a crucial area for all naval combat systems. in this study, we consider a warship equipped with an air-defense weapon that targets incoming threats using surface-to-air missiles. we define the weapon scheduling problem as the optimal scheduling of a set of surface-to-air missiles of a warship to a set of attacking air threats. the optimal scheduling of the weapon results in an in...

Since its discovery and initial description in the 1960s, the penetrating lesion to the left ninth rib of the Shanidar 3 Neandertal has been a focus for discussion about interpersonal violence and weapon technology in the Middle Paleolithic. Recent experimental studies using lithic points on animal targets suggest that aspects of weapon system dynamics can be inferred from the form of the bony ...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to assess the frequency, nature, and outcome of weapon use in intimate partner violence (IPV) and to assess compliance with related gun policies. METHODS Data were drawn from forms police are mandated to complete at the scene of IPV in the fifth largest U.S. city during 2013. Proportions were calculated and odds ratios were adjusted for demographic and con...
