This thesis utilizes Extended Air Defense Simulation(EADSIM), a government-owned computer model, to determine the optimum stationing of an AEGIS ship in an Anti-Theater Ballistic Missile(ATBM) role defending two cities. The conclusions stated depend upon the validity of that model. The AEGIS ship's command being unsure of enemy launch sites and target intentions, the geometrically worst-case enemy launch points against the cities were modeled. Numerous potential positions from which an AEGIS shi...

The spatial, temporal and radiative properties of ship tracks are described with an analysis of AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) imagery. 15 cams are analyzed including 6 from the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX) in the Azores islands, 6 from ship tracks observed off the coast of Oregon and 3 from the 1987 First ISCCP (International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project) Regional Experiment (FIRE) (Starr, 1987). The reflectance in channel 3 (3.7 microns) of each...

The Dual Frequency Pump Method of acoustically determining point by point bubble cloud densities was studied to determine the practicality of using this acoustic technique to determine bubble densities in surface ship wakes. The dual frequency technique of acoustically detecting bubbles utilizes a high and low frequency sound field to insonify the target bubbles. The bubbles themselves then radiate sound at the sidebands of higher frequency. The frequency of the return sound is proportional to t...

Fish feed is the largest component of a salmon farmer’s production costs and lostfeed days are a large cost driver. Norway’s largest salmon farmer, Marine HarvestNorway, hopes to cut costs and increase reliability of feed deliveries by startingin-house feed production and distribution. In order to deliver feed to fish farms fromthe new factory in an efficient and reliable way, they need to create cost-effectiveand robust transportation plans.The basis for this thesis is the problem of ...

In summer, the temperature difference between Hamilton Harbour and Lake Ontario drives a two-layer exchange flow through the Burlington Ship Canal. Warmer Hamilton Harbour water forms the upper layer in the canal before floating out onto the surface of Lake Ontario, while cooler lake water forms the bottom layer in the canal prior to sinking into the harbour's hypolirnnion. During periods of exchange flow, large amounts of water are exchanged between the harbour and the lake, thus an unders...

The accurate determination of hydrodynamic loads on moving ships is important for hull form design and optimization and structural design purposes. This is especially true at the preliminary design stage during which time quick predictions of the forces and moments acting on a ship advancing steadily with, and without, yaw would be extremely useful. In view of this, simple numerical cross-flow algorithms has been developed. The numerical procedures are based on slender body theory, which is...

A 145-kDa protein originally cloned from murine cells and named SH2-containing inositol 5-phosphatase (SHIP), becomes both tyrosine phosphorylated and associated with the adapter protein She following stimulation of hematopoietic cells with a wide variety of extracellular stimuli. Here we describe the cloning of the human homologue of SHIP from a human megakaryocytic cell line (M07e) λgt11 cDNA library. Northern blot analysis indicates human SHIP gene is expressed as a 5.3-kb mRNA in human bone ...

Björnsson, Lars

Commonly, when calculating ship responses one uses idealized wave spectra to represent the sea. In the idealized model, the sea is frequently assumed to consist of swell and windwaves, which are usually represented by idealized 1D wave spectra, and the directionality of wind-waves is accounted for by multiplication with a standard spreading function. In operational response predictions these idealized spectra are typically generated by extracted parameters from real directional 2D wave spectra o...

This paper contains two case studies in applied statistics. The first study originated from a series of seakeeping experiments on twenty-seven different ship hull designs. The experimenters sought a method of predicting performance for hull designs different from those included in the study. The results of these experiments had already been analyzed, but we wished to consider the Taguchi method as an alternative method of analysis. In this study, we describe the initial design problem and analys...

One of the fundamental goals of a distributed operating is to make a collection of computers connected by a network appear as a unified whole to the users of the system. The system relies heavily on the network to help maintain this illusion. If the network is not fast enough system performance will be noticeably affected and the system will fail to achieve this primary goal. Since the network is used to allow two entities on different machines to communicate with each other, it is possible to r...

The SH2 domain-containing inositol 5’-phosphatase, SHIP, negatively regulates hematopoietic cell functions and is critical for maintaining immune homeostasis. However, whether SHIP plays a role in controlling bacterial infections in vivo remained unknown. Salmonella enterica causes human salmonellosis, a disease that ranges in severity from mild gastroenteritis to severe systemic illness, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The focus of this work was to determine the role...

The purpose of the thesis was to develop a decision support system for ballast water treatment systems, considering both technical and economical aspects of the system. This was done by developing a two part model, which considers both physical constraint given by the ship, and KPI analysis. In order to test the model, it was applied on two vessels from KGJS fleet; MV Corrella Arrow, a 72.000 DWT general cargo ship, and a cement carrier that is currently being built in Vietnam. For both these sh...

During the late 19th century, a number of large marble eyes were discovered near the Athenian naval facilities at Zea. Although initially published as the eyes of ancient Greek warships, many scholars have doubted the validity of this attribution. A range of hypotheses have been presented in attempts both to discredit the notion that they are ship eyes, and to re-classify these objects. Recent excavations of a Classical Period merchantman at TektaŸ Burnu uncovered a pair of marble discs that ...

This thesis addresses the improvement of a physically based modeling simulator Naval Surface Tactical Maneuvering Simulation System (NSTMSS), that combines different simulators in a distributed environment by the help of High Level Architecture (HLA), to be used in naval tactical training systems. The objective is to upgrade a computer simulation program in which physical models are improved in order to achieve a more realistic movement of a ship in a virtual environment. The simulator will also...

The dissertation discusses unmanned shipping from a South African perspective. While some nations are trailblazers in this field, other states lack behind and do not yet provide with a clear strategy for the future. Hence, the threat is real that they might be too late and will lose out in the competition to attract ship building, technology development, job creation and a whole new branch of industry. As a shipping nation in a strategically high important geographic area, South Africa's perspec...

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / A proposed U.S. Navy ship to ship, line of sight, high data rate communication system is analyzed. Because of the limited bandwidth available in the UHF band, it is desired to reuse a frequency channel at the shortest possible range. By limiting the radiated power to the minimum required to establish a desired quality of service, the channel can be reused at considerably shorter ranges than when the transmitter output power is fixed to the...
