BACKGROUND Homeless veterans often have multiple health care and psychosocial needs, including assistance with access to housing and health care, as well as support for ongoing treatment engagement. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) developed specialized Homeless Patient Alignment Care Teams (HPACT) with the goal of offering an integrated, "one-stop program" to address housing and health ...

In recent years, formation flying has been recognized as an enabling technology for a variety of mission concepts in both the scientific and defense arenas. Examples of developing missions at NASA include magnetospheric multiscale (MMS), solar imaging radio array (SIRA), and terrestrial planet finder (TPF). For each of these missions, a multiple satellite approach is required in order to accomp...

Intelligent multirobot coalition formation systems equipped with mission driven algorithm selection strategies are crucial for a wide spectrum of real-world situations. i-CiFHaR is an unique coalition formation framework that comprises a library of diverse algorithms and uses a taxonomy-based real-time probabilistic reasoning to select the most appropriate algorithm(s) to apply. However, i-CiFH...

This paper mainly discusses the special problems and solutions for multi-task and data flow control in cluster parallel computing system which dedicated used for High-performance Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Pre-processing System (GHIPS). After giving the overview of the GHIPS, the structure and function of Operation and Mission Subsystem (OMS) shall be formulated. The more detail discussion...

Station-keeping and reorientation control of a cluster of fully-actuated low-thrust micro-satellites is considered in this paper. We propose a very general optimization based control methodology to solve constrained trajectory generation problems for stationkeeping and reorientation. By taking advantage of the fully-actuated structure of the micro-satellite, it is possible to compute the contro...

Verticillium dahliae Kleb. the causal agent of vascular wilt is an important pathogen of olive trees in growing areas of the world. Nine-month-old nursery olives including ‘Bladi’, ‘Conservalia’, ‘Kalamon’, ‘Koroneiki’, ‘Manzanilla’, ‘Mission’, ‘Marry’, ‘Picual’, ‘Rowghani’, ‘Sevillana’ and ‘Zard’ cultivars were root-dip inoculated with a defoliating (VCG1) isolate of V. dahliae obtained from d...

The four-year Kepler mission collected long cadence images of the open clusters NGC 6791 and 6819, known as "superstamps." Each superstamp region is a 200-pixel square that captures thousands cluster members, plus foreground background stars, which only brightest were targeted for or short photometry during mission. Using image subtraction photometry, we have produced light curves every object ...

The Energetic X-ray Timing Survey Telescope (EXIST) mission concept is under study as the Black Hole Finder Probe (BHFP), one of the three Einstein Probe missions in the Beyond Einstein Program in the current NASA Strategic Plan. EXIST would conduct an all-sky imaging hard X-ray (∼10-600 keV) survey with unprecedented sensitivity: about 5 ×10−13 cgs over any factor of 2 bandwidth, or comparable...

Cluster number count is a major cosmological probe for the next generation of large scale-structure surveys like one expected from Euclid satellite mission. Cosmological constraints will be mainly limited by understanding selection function (SF), which characterize probability detecting cluster given mass and redshift. The SF can estimated injecting realistic simulated clusters into survey re-a...
