Pavement maintenance and repair is a crucial part of pavement management systems. Accurate reliable performance prediction the prerequisite for making reasonable decisions selecting suitable schemes. Rutting deformation, as one most common forms asphalt failures, key index evaluating performance. To ensure accuracy commonly used models, input parameters models need to be understood, coefficient...

Cockpit moving-maps have provided heightened situation awareness to Navy fighter pilots for over ten years. The Navy now plans to install a moving-map into its multifunction MH-60S helicopter, which will perform sea-based missions such as combat search and rescue and mine countermeasures. The authors surveyed 49 Navy helicopter aircrew for their preferences with respect to four map types and si...

The Internet traffic stemming from overlay-based applications, e.g., Peer-to-Peer applications, increases rapidly with the increase of available bandwidth of end-nodes. For today's Telecommunication Service Providers (telco) and Internet Service Providers (ISP) the issue arising is: how to control and manage network traffic stemming from overlay-based applications. As the structure of overlays ...

Massively multiplayer online games (MMG) are natural applications for peer-to-peer overlays (P2P). However, the absence of synchronization among the peers significantly limits games’ functionality and quality of service. Synchronization in P2P overlays faces problems including scalability, heterogeneous network latency and bandwidth, and non-collaborative participants. We believe these problems...
