Global topographic data and the assumption of Airy isostasy have been used to estimate the crustal volumes of the continents and the oceanic and continental submarine plateaus. The calculated crustal volumes are 7182 X lo6 km3 for the continents, 242 x lo6 km3 for continental submarine plateaus, and 369 X lo6 km3 for oceanic plateaus. The Falkland Plateau and the Lord Howe Rise are the two larg...

This note describes how a submarine, the F.A. Forel, carrying a vertical array of high-resolution temperature sensors, was used along with conventional measurements from a lowered conductivity-temperature-depth probe (CTD) to make novel measurements of the temperature field in Lake Geneva during summertime conditions of stable stratification and during winter convection. The submarine speed was...

Future e-Health systems will consist of low-power, on-body wireless sensors attached to mobile users that interact with a ubiquitous computing environment. This kind of system needs to be able to configure itself with little or no user input; more importantly, it is required to adapt autonomously to changes such as user movement, device failure, the addition or loss of services, and proximity t...

Procurement of high value defence assets, such as ships, submarines and aircraft requires rigorous analysis to ensure the system procured will perform as required in the operation. To achieve this, system and subsystem modelling can be conducted to determine how the subsystem choices affect the whole system performance. This should be linked to a capability analysis to relate the subsystem perf...

Tansey, W. A., J. M. Wilson, and K. E. Schaefer. 1979. Analysis of health data from 10 years of Polaris submarine patrols. Undersea Biomed. Res. Sub. SuppL: S217-S246.—Medical reports from 885 Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarine patrols (7,650,000 man-days) were analyzed. The data were categorized and compared with data obtained by medical personnel from surface fleet personnel (1,215,918 m...

in this study, the experimental analysis on the bare hull resistance coefficient of submarine at snorkel depth is represented. the experiments are conducted in marine laboratory of admiral makarov university. the results are presented for surface condition and snorkel condition. snorkel depth is regarded equal to one diameter of submarine hull beneath the water surface as usual in submarines. p...
