Maximizing AUV slow speed performance
A review of the Odyssey IIB autonomous underwater vehicle shows that energy costs associated with vehicle controls can be reduced and operational flexibility improved with relatively simple, low cost improvements. Because the operating speed that minimizes forward drag is not necessarily the same …

Maximizing value creation in agile sprints
Agile software development principles prioritize the delivery of value through working software. Earlier value creation is preferred to reduce the time to market and get sooner feedback from customers. A challenge in planning agile sprints to achieve value upfront is the tension that exists between …

Maximizing degrees of freedom in wireless networks
We consider communication from a single source to a single destination in a wireless network with fading. Both source and destination have multiple antennas. The information reaches the destination through a sequence of layers of single-antenna relays. A non-separation-based strategy is proposed …

Modeling and maximizing power in wind turbine arrays
This work considers a specific application domain, that of wind turbine arrays, and explores algorithms for determining individual axial induction factors that optimize overall energy extraction. Large wind turbine arrays, or wind farms, can be viewed as large coupled networks, for which the …

Auditory display for maximizing engagement and attentive capacity
Two projects in scientific data sonification are presented. 'Quantizer' is a platform that enables composers to develop artistic sonification schemes using real-time data from the ATLAS detector at CERN. Three sample audio streams are available for real-time consumption by the public and the public …

A profit-maximizing theory of national bank behavior
… to determine this, a straightforward profit maximizing model is developed and various predictions are made concerning national bank behavior. These predictions are then tested and evaluated using actual national bank balance sheet data to determine if actual national bank behavior conforms to …

Maximizing wildlife benefits through hardwood timber harvest scheduling
A computerized system for planning timber harvest to maximize habitat quality over time for a specified group of wildlife species was developed for upland oak forests of the Eastern United States. This system, called WILDWOOD for WILDiife/WOOD optimization system, is designed to run on a …

Autonomous migration of vertual machines for maximizing resource utilization
… the cluster undermines the very purpose of maximizing resource utilization through virtualization. To solve this imbalance problem, virtual machine migration has been introduced, where a virtual machine on a heavily loaded physical machine is selected and moved to a lightly loaded physical …

Maximizing yield of high quality cottonseed through nutrient management strategies
One of the primary challenges confronting the cottonseed industry is being able to produce superior quality seed with the ability to emerge rapidly from the soil and establish normal healthy plants. Early emerging seedlings from high quality seed are the most competitive and establish the greatest …

Maximizing the Benefits of Desalinated Seawater Supply for Agricultural Sustainability
Desalination is increasingly recognised as an essential component of water management in arid and semi-arid coastal regions, including central and northern Chile where conventional freshwater resources are severely constrained. While desalinated water has traditionally served municipal and …

Maximizing and minimizing pear (Pyrus sp.) chimeral segregation in vitro
A protocol has been developed for maximizing and minimizing chimeral segregation in vitro of three periclinal pear chimeras ('Louise Bonne Panachee' (p1092) ('LB'); 'Red Hardy' ('RH'); 'Red Comice' ('RC'). Among the factors involved in chimeral stabilization and segregation were growth regulators …
