Dehumanization and irregular warfare
… militaries to influence the center of gravity in irregular warfare, the civilian population. Traditional thought in this matter implies that cultural training is the most important factor in creating more effective influence when dealing in irregular warfare scenarios. By examining dehumanization …

Phase dynamics of irregular oscillations
In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird eine Beschreibung der Phasendynamik irregulärer Oszillationen und deren Wechselwirkungen vorgestellt. Hierbei werden chaotische und stochastische Oszillationen autonomer dissipativer Systeme betrachtet. Für eine Phasenbeschreibung stochastischer Oszillationen …

Regular and irregular signal resampling
… of a continuous-time (CT) signal taken on an irregular grid from which we wish to obtain samples on a regular grid. This is referred to as the nonuniform sampling problem. We present a noniterative algorithm for solving this problem, which, in contrast to the known iterative algorithms, can …

Accelerating Irregular Applications with Pipeline Parallelism
Irregular applications have frequent data-dependent memory accesses and control flow. They arise in many emerging and important domains, including sparse deep learning, graph analytics, and database processing. Conventional architectures cannot handle irregular applications efficiently because …

Managing Agent Sampling Probabilities in Irregular Networks
… If agents randomly wander nodes, then the irregularity found in these types of graphs gives rise to some nodes being visited more often than others. Assuming the system requires agents to uniformly visit and perform some set of tasks at nodes, then the cost of executing these tasks at every …

Detecting Irregular Energy Consumption Through Analytical Techniques
… used for energy management fail to detect irregular behaviour when a dataset is measured in a time domain rather than a frequency domain. The objective of this research was to develop an analytical technique that can be used as an energy management tool in detecting irregular behaviour of a …

Hydrologic Modeling of Irregular Tile Drainage Systems
… to specifically address the influence of irregular tile networks on Midwestern watershed hydrology. Several issues were identified as pertinent to this specific task: solving the problem of flow to a single tile drain, addressing irregular tile networks at the watershed scale and …

Compiler Analysis of Sparse and Irregular Computations
… different possible parallelization methods for irregular reduction loops, all of which can be applied automatically by a compiler. We compared their ease of use, applicability, supporting compiler techniques required, run-time resource requirement, and, most importantly, run-time performance. …

Acoustic and linguistic interdependencies of irregular phonation
Irregular phonation is a commonly occurring but only partially understood phenomenon of human speech production. We know properties of irregular phonation can be clues to a speaker's dialect and even identity. We also have evidence that irregular phonation is used as a signal of linguistic and …

Exploiting irregular parallelism to accelerate FPGA routing
… parallelism, routing still exhibits significant irregular parallelism. This parallelism can be exploited on parallel architectures that provide hardware support for ordered tasks and fine-grained speculation, such as the Swarm architecture. Using Swarm, we exploit the parallelism present at the …

Irregular Welded Rectangular Hollow Section Truss-type Connections
This thesis presents research on four welded rectangular hollow section truss-type connections. Each type of connection was mainly investigated using numerical methods, with finite element models validated against experimental tests that were performed by either the author or other researchers. …

RIDDS: Removal of Irregular Debris Using Double Nets
… tumbling. The purpose of the proposed Removal of Irregular Debris using Double Nets (RIDDs) is to shoot a series of nets to capture a target piece of orbital debris. To adapt to evolving needs, RIDDs utilizes a small CubeSat configuration but can easily be scaled up to capture larger debris. The …

The United States and irregular warfare 1899-2011
<p>After the United States fought irregular wars in Iraq and Afghanistan the amount of scholarship on the topic of counterinsurgency and guerilla warfare grew at a fast pace. Much of this scholarship has focused on a single conflict, or on several recent conflicts. This thesis took a different …

Market Assessment of Discretionary vs. Nondiscretionary Irregular Items
… to evaluate if the discretionary character of irregular items imparts information to investors. Justification was centered on the belief that more should be known about which irregular items affect investors' buy/sell market decisions. This is in response to the FASB's desire to identify the …

Global and Local Properties of Noninteracting Irregular Galaxies
… the evolutionary histories of noninteracting irregular galaxies, we have obtained optical and radio data on global and local scales for a sample of 26 irregulars with high star formation rates (SFR) and 17 comparison objects. Global properties of the systems were explored through the stellar …

Signal representations: from images to irregular-domain signals
… representations of signals living on irregular domains, whose discrete topologies are described by weighted graphs, are investigated. A downsampling scheme for signals on general graphs based on maximum spanning trees is discussed in our third work. This framework provides a fast …

Compiler and run-time support for irregular computations
There are many important applications in computational fluid dynamics, circuit simulation and structural analysis that can be more accurately modeled using iterations on unstructured grids. In these problems, regular compiler analysis for Massively Parallel Processors (MPP) with distributed address …

Neutral hydrogen observations of spiral and irregular galaxies
… The later chapters describe observations of irregular galaxies, many belonging to the class IrII which was of particular interest. NGC 1569, a dwarf irregular galaxy, has been the subject of interest due to its prominent Ha [Greek letter alpha] filaments. Observations reveal that the overall …

Overtopping of coastal structures caused by irregular waves
… into the average rate of overtopping caused by irregular waves. A literature review is given which describes the previous research done in the field of overtopping. This research included a number of model studies using both regular and irregular waves. The literature review emphasises the …
