The impact of Doppler frequency hopping on code tracking performance is simulated. A design on pseudonoise (PN) Code Tracking Loop aided by the carrier tracking loop according to the carrier frequency hoping pattern is proposed in this paper. This scheme can be applied in the Telemetry, Tracking, and Commanding system which uses Direct Sequence/Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (DS/FH) hybrid s...

Be a cause of the future and not a result from the past. Futures expectations in financial markets are paramount for today’s decision-making processes. Although many indicators have been developed in recent years to gauge investors’ expectations, most only give a narrow view of the situation, signalling just bullish or bearish sentiment. In this report, we go beyond those measures and aim to id...

The Problem: Robotic spacecraft for exploration of the solar system and beyond must be designed to navigate and operate in harsh, dynamic and uncertain environments. Such operating conditions make it difficult for the systems engineers and programmers responsible for encoding onboard software sequences to meet the requirements for very high reliability. We propose a robust solution to challengi...

Commanding Indian Military Hospital, Pishin. About midnight lst-2ncl February, 1928, two men went to sleep in a small room (8 X J feet) in this cantonment, with the door and the window closed and a pan of steam coal burning inside. As they did not get up by 9 a.m. next day (2nd February, 1928) and noisy breathing was heard from their room, with a smell of poisonous gas emanating from the chinks...

Air Force Research Laboratory's Distributed Architecture and Simulation Laboratory (DASL) is designed to support the development of new concepts in space systems. One new concept is AFRL’s TechSat 21 program. TechSat 21 is a cluster of formation-flying and cooperating satellites. TechSat 21 poses significant challenges to satellite operations. The ground control station must be capable of monit...

This paper discusses the use of eye movement monitoring systems in evaluating visual displays to support tactical decision making. A variety of analytic approaches are considered from a conceptual and practical standpoint and applied to preliminary data collected using the TADMUS DSS display. Eye movement data were collected using a head-mounted eye tracking system worn by command-level decisio...

. In this paper, illocutionary acts of commanding will be differentiated from perlocutionary acts that affect preferences of addressees in a new dynamic logic which combines the preference upgrades introduced by van Benthem and Liu in [vBLar] with deontic updates introduced by Yamada in [Yam07b]. The resulting logic will incorporate Austin’s distinction between illocutionary acts as act...

Managerial ties are an area commanding managers’ attention in emerging economies. However, no previous study has drawn on cross-country data to address a crucial question: Are more developed market-supporting institutions associated with less use of managerial ties in emerging economies? Further, to strive for better performance, firms also need to develop market-based strategic initiatives. Ho...

A Sound Banking System is essential for the future growth of any economy. In India, among the banking institution in the organized sector, the commercial banks are the oldest institutions having a wide network of branches, commanding utmost public confidence and having the lion’s share in the total banking operations. The Financial Sector Reforms were implemented in our country during 1991-92 w...

A novel human-machine interaction architecture is presented. It is based on the machine intention recognition of the human. This work is motivated by the desire to minimize the need for classical direct human-machine interface and communication. Here, the intention-action-state scenario is modified and modelled by dynamic Bayesian networks to facilitate for probabilistic intention inference. Th...
