Simulation and Testing of Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessels
… analysis of Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessels (WAM-V) using simulations and testing data. WAM-Vs are a new class of marine technology that build upon the advantages of lightweight, low-draft, catamaran construction. Independent suspensions above the hulls isolate the passengers and equipment …

Modeling Reallocation of Reservoir Storage Capacity Between Flood Control and Conservation Purposes
… (WRAP) and Texas Water Availability Modeling (WAM) System. A system of 12 multiple-purpose reservoirs operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Brazos River Authority (BRA) was adopted as a case study in this research to develop and test expanded WRAP/WAM-based methods for …

Multi-body Dynamics Simulation and Analysis of Wave-adaptive Modular Vessels
… catamaran called Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessels (WAM-V™) aims to help mitigate oceanic input from the cabin by allowing for the relative motion of components not common to classic catamaran design. This thesis presents a set of multi-body dynamics simulation models created for two active WAM-Vs™ …

A comparative study of the portrayal of characters in A.C. Jordan's The wrath of the ancestors, Modikwe Dikobe's The marabi dance and G.B. Sinxo's Unojayiti wam
… of the ancestors, The Marabi dance and Unojayiti wam bear on an African identity, and they reflect a purely African conception of life. The "Africanness" of their outlook can only be determined when measured against the real life African socio-cultural background. Therefore, as a starting point in …

Relationship Between West African monsoon precipitation characteristics and maize yields across Sub-Saharan West Africa
… precipitation from the West African Monsoon (WAM) plays a significant role in the region's food production. This study aims to add to the limited literature on the relationship between country-level maize yields and the WAM, particularly through the use of high resolution precipitation …

Evaluation of Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessel Suspension Systems for Improved Dynamics
… of the 33ft Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessel (WAM-V) when outfitted with different suspension systems. Instrumented with an array of sensors, the vessel is tested with two different suspension arrangements to characterize how they affect WAM-V dynamics, and to ultimately select a suspension …

Kinematic Calibration of Serial Manipulators Using Relative Measurements
… investigated. Both a Thermo CRS A465 and a 7 DOF WAM Arm were used in this thesis. The results for the WAM Arm lead to a significant improvement in the end-effector pose accuracy. The implication is that the relative measurement concept is a valid tool for model-based kinematic calibration of …

The unwritten notes: Exploring extemporization strategies for classical pianists and their reciprocal impact on interpretive depth
… of improvisation from Western Art Music (WAM) pedagogy has contributed to a narrowing of expressive possibilities in classical performance. Once considered a vital skill for a complete musician, improvisation – especially as a practice grounded in the language, syntax, and forms of WAM – …

The Interpreter as Co-Author: Pianists and the Practice of Interactive Re-Working
… recent musicological scholarship in the field of WAM performance studies has recognised the creative role of the interpreter, notions that equate work-interpretation with Werktreue have remained almost entirely uncontested, resulting in an apparent presupposition that the composer’s role in …

Reservoir Characterization and Outcrop Analogs to the Navajo Sandstone in the Central Utah Thrust Belt Exploration Play
… interdune facies, the Wavy Algal Matted facies (WAM), displays very low porosity (10 percent) and permeability (0.265 mD) based on 4 samples, and is laterally extensive in the field area (greater than 1 km2). There are nine facies in the Wolverine Federal 17-3 core from the Covenant Field, four …

Symmetry in Crystal Structure Prediction
… Following this, the Wyckoff Aligned Molecules (WAM) technique for generating symmetric trial structures using extended building units such as molecules or fragments was developed. This approach utilises the point group symmetry of these units to place them on compatible, high symmetry Wyckoff …

A Centralized Wide Area Control of FACTS for Damping Power System Inter-Area Oscillations
… Time delay of both the Wide Area Measurement (WAM) system and the FACTS control signals is considered. Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) and MATLAB are used to design the controller and validate the results. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in design of FCATS …

Optimal ship routing
… by a third generation numerical wave model, the WAM cycle 4, developed at the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Utilizing the hydrodynamic results and the output of the wave model a computer program is developed in MATLAB®, which employs the Iterative Dynamic Programming …

Practical Implementation of a Security-Dependability Adaptive Voting Scheme Using Decision Trees
… based on the latency of Wide Area Measurement (WAM) devices and the added latency of relay voting operation during Stressed conditions. Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), Phasor Data Concentrators (PDCs), and relay operation delays were quantified to determine the benefits and limitations of WAMS …

East African climate variability on different time scales : the Suguta Valley in the African-Asian Monsoon Domain
… of intensity variations of the West-African (WAM) and Indian Summer monsoons (ISM) during the AHP, especially their exact influence on regional climate relative to each other, is currently intensely debated. Here, I present a high-resolution multiproxy lake-level record spanning the AHP from …

Mechanisms of Interactions between Aerosol Physics and Atmospheric Dynamics
… In addition, over the western African monsoon (WAM) region and the entrance of the tropical Atlantic storm track, the 2-6-day filtered AEWs become more barotropic during oceanic SAL outbreaks. The anomalous changes in meridional and quadruple momentum fluxes of 2-6-day filtered AEWs, associated …
