CURRENT COROPUTER ANALYSIS OF BUBBLE-SUBMERGED STRUCTURE INTERACTION, DUE TO CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS, IS EXTREMELY RESOURCE INTENSIVE. THEREFORE, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REPLACE FULL SCALE LIVE FIRE TESTING OF SUBMERGED STRUCTURE WITH SCALE TESTING OF SUBMERGED STRUCTURES AND COMPUTER ANALYSIS. THE GOAL OF THIS EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP AN ACCURATE AND EFFICIENT NON-REFLECTING BOUNDARY FOR EULERIAN HYDROD ...

THE CONCEPT COMBINES INHERENT LACK OF SIGNIFICANT SENSITIVITY TO UNWANTED STRESS COMPONENTS WITH PRACTICALITY OF COUPLING TO ROCK WITH LITTLE OR NO GROUT. BUILDING ON A FOUNDATION OF GHOROUGH THEORETICAL ANALYSIS AND DEMONSTRATION OF MANUFACTURING FEASIBILITY BASED ON PREVIOUS WORK, THE OBJECTIVE IS TO VERIFY KEY ASPECTS IN THE LABORATORY. THIS WILL INCLUDE VERIFICATION OF LACK OF CROSS-AXIS SENSI ...

THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL DEMONSTRATE THE APPLICATION OF COMPUTER SIMULATION FOR TEACHING A SPECIFIC INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILL TO INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL RETARDATION. LONG-TERM OBJECTIVESARE TO DEVELOP A COMPUTER-BASED TRAINER (ATM-SIM) TO BE USED FOR TEACHING INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL RETARDATION HOW TO USE AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES. ATM-SIM IS A SKILL-TRAINING PRODUCT THAT WILL SUPPLEMENT THE FUNC ...

THE ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENTS IN VEHICLES TEND TO BE HOSTILE TO SPOKEN COMMUNICATION, REGARDLESS OF HEARING ACUITY. FOR HEARING IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS THESE INHERENT CONDITIONS CAN RENDER COMMUNICATIONS WITHIN THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND, RESULTING IN MISCOMMUNICATIONS, A LACK OF COMPREHENSION AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING CIRCUMSTANCES. HEARING AIDS GENERALLY EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM BY INDIS ...
