Project objectives briefly described: i. Improve accuracy of measurement for cheating examinees by using a scoring method that takes account of the credibility of the examinee's patterm of wrong answers. ii. Provide an adjunct to on-line calibration that would assist in timing the replacement of items. iii. Identify test sites and recruiters that are associated with high rates of item compromis ...

A novel coating technology is proposed for the protection of naval weapon components. Diamondlike nanocomposites constitute a new class of materials that exhibit unique combinations of technologically interesting properties including high adhesion to vertually any substrate (including metals, crystalline and glass dielectrics, plastics), excellent chemical and diffusion barrier properties, good ha ...

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM SAFETY ACT OF 1990 (HMTUSA), DOT IS NOW REQUIRED TO CREATE A CENTRALIZED DATABASE OF STATE-DESIGNATED HAZARDOUS MATERIAL HIGHWAY ROUTES. DOT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR PERIODICALLY UPDATING AND PUBLISHING A LIST OF CURRENLY EFFECTIVE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS HIGHWAY ROUTE DESINGATIONS IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER. IN RESPONSE TO THIS NEED, AEGIS ...

This work will provide an Object Oriented distributed architecture and implementation using C++ and CORBA for EW simulations. The simulations will be reactive and interactive and will afford a means for incorporation into real-time missions and exercises. The proposed product will drastically reduce the amount of effort required for specifying the behavior of virtual objects, and maintaining a c ...

Currently there are no automated and efficient portable 3D data acquisition methods to obtain accurate and detailed geometry and texture data for use in computer-based simulators. The goal of the proposed project is to develop innovative methods of data acquisition and processing to produce a quick, accurate, and portable 3D data acquisition system to capture geometry and texture data. The system ...

Many areas of military and civilian work are becoming increasingly complex and non-routine. Cognitive Flexibility Theory is a unique approach to instruction that prepares people to effectively deal with such challenges. For critical elements of Navy training, complex content domains will be identified that are characterized both by complexity and difficulty in achieving training success. The pa ...

One of the keys to the potential widespread adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) technology is the development of greater levels of image realism. Electronic Design, a small business in New York State, proposes to investigate a new approach for dramatically advancing VR realism through the development of a high speed graphics engine based on optical ray tracing. An innovative architecture eliminates r ...
