The Application Of "crashing" A Project Network To Solve The Time/cost Tradeoff In Recapitalization Of The Uh-60a Helicopter
… the structural/electrical upgrade phase. In crashing (i.e. adding manpower or labor hours) the network, we determine the minimal cost required to reduce the total completion time of the 68 activities within the network before a target completion time. A linear programming model is formulated …

Holes and Other Stories
… as the reality of the relationships/life comes crashing in. The narrators of these stories range from first person to limited third to give readers different means to get into the narrator's mind as usually the key to the stories will come out somewhere in the narrator's unspoken obessions. …

Leader election and renaming with optimal message complexity
… and the fact that t<n2 processors may fail by crashing are the great obstacles for designing efficient algorithms. Leader election (test-and-set) and renaming are two fundamental distributed tasks. We prove that both tasks can be solved using expected O(n²) messages -- the same asymptotic …

Broadcasting modernity: eloquent listening in the early twentieth century
… the wider cultural mentality, cross-cutting, or ‘crashing’ the written word, and thus producing the effect of two wires instantly reacting to one another. Therefore, just as radio may be accessed through literature, certain texts between 1900-1945 may be reinterpreted acoustically. To qualify this …

Someone Else's Story
… stability, but in one week everything comes crashing down. A bad break-up, a family secret and a chance meeting at hotel in Mexico, will spin Madelyn’s future in a direction she never could have imagined for herself—one that includes a handsome movie star and a chance to reinvent an abandoned …

Created Spaces: Domestic Myth-Making in the Novels of Elizabeth Bowen
… the rest of her work. After a day of tea party crashing and convertible cruising, the storybook tiger finds himself in a forest, "not the forest of his dreams. There was no hot sunshine, and the trees were dark because of the rain" (23). "But I do not care", the tiger says,

Learning visual models from paired audio-visual examples
… Second, we show that ambient audio - e.g., crashing waves, people speaking in a crowd - can also be used to learn visual models. We train a convolutional neural network to predict a statistical summary of the sounds that occur within a scene, and we demonstrate that the visual representation …

Quantifying hurricane wind speed with undersea sound
… techniques. It is well known that the crashing of wind-driven waves generates underwater noise in the 10 Hz to 10 kHz range. Theoretical and empirical evidence are combined to show that underwater acoustic sensing techniques may be valuable for measuring the wind speed and determining …

Frontal collision analysis of City Car
… was conducted by running a simulation of the car crashing into a wall compared to that of a rigid car with no folding, and by building a one-fifth scale wooden model of the CityCar, running it into a wall, and measuring the force upon impact. The simulation was ran at 20 mph, 50 mph, and 80 mph, …

Design, Simulation, and Testing of a Spray Washing Drone for Close-Range Cleaning
… failure, thereby preventing the drone from crashing into the washing surface. The two main drone configurations tested were a drone with auxiliary motors fixed in line with the spray reaction force to counteract the force directly, and a pressure switch system that reduces forward drift by …

Fully automatic vision-based system for vehicle crash prediction and recognition
… problem of accident recognition by classifying crashing trajectory pairs into distinct categories. An ontology is used to define the relationships between the accident types and to train a tree-based classifier for recognition. We demonstrate the effectiveness of each algorithm by evaluating …

A NOVEL LINEAR DIOPHANTINE EQUATION-BAESD LOW DIAMETER STRUCTURED PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK
… to fault tolerance in the event of peers crashing and leaving. Furthermore, we have proposed two algorithms to response to one of the principal requests of P2P applications’ users, which is to preserve the anonymity and security of the resource requester and the responder while providing …

Automating Program Verification and Repair Using Invariant Analysis and Test Input Generation
… bugs are a persistent feature of daily life---crashing web browsers, allowing cyberattacks, and distorting the results of scientific computations. One approach to improving software uses program invariants---mathematical descriptions of program behaviors---to verify code and detect bugs. …

Hybrid Fuzzy-Bayesian Dynamic Decision Support Tool for Resource-Based Scheduling of Construction Projects
… (MILP) methods to obtain optimal project crashing and scheduling solutions that is adaptive to the current project status and crew productivity. Capability of proposed model in quantifying uncertainty at initial phases of project where project performance data are scarce, learning from …

Second Story Television: Multi-Camera Sitcom Spaces, Objects, and the Suburban Spatial Imaginary
… to real-world spaces. That certain moments—cars crashing, mothers spending their free time in bathrooms, adult characters learning to ride bicycles—occur in a similar manner across these shows indicates that they are part of a larger tableau of the American domestic spatial imaginary. These …

Fault-tolerant distributed cyber-physical systems: two case studies

The second case study is a distributed flocking problem, where agents form a flock, or a roughly equally spaced distribution in one dimension, and move towards a destination, in spite of some agents' actuators becoming stuck at …

Ml Controllers With Memory For Robust Quadrotor Control And Research
… damage, behaving unsafely or the quadrotor crashing. In order to collect the required data over many action/time steps while also avoiding undesirable system effects, leaned controllers are typically learned on simulated systems. These simulations usually utilize different physics engines …

What the Tides May Bring: Political "Tigueraje" Disposession and Popular Dissent in Samaná, Dominican Republic
… voices against the waves of dispossession crashing on their shores. Using a combination of archival research, participant observation, oral history and ethnography, I document multiple instances of state intervention to understand how the Samaná community has been coerced over time to …
