This paper is one of a coordinated set prepared for a NATO Modelling and Simulation Group Lecture Series in Command and Control – Simulation Interoperability (C2Sim). This paper provides insights into the development of C2SIM interoperability solutions that have been developed within the context of complex coalition interoperation (multiple nations, multiple domains). It also covers some exampl...

Broadband wireless systems generally use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with link adaptation (LA) to achieve high throughput while meeting bit error rate (BER) constraint. OFDM systems are known to be affected by non-linearity of high power amplifier (HPA) at transmitter, carrier frequency offset (CFO), symbol timing offset (STO) and channel estimation error at the receiver. ...

PARIS (Personal Archiving and Retrieving Image System) is an experiment personal photograph library, which includes more than 80,000 of consumer photographs accumulated within a duration of approximately five years, metadata based on our proposed MPEG-7 annotation architecture, Dozen Dimensional Digital Content (DDDC), and a relational database structure. The DDDC architecture is specially desi...

Raman spectroscopy was used to demonstrate that the lattice dynamics of SrTiO3 (STO) nanoparticles strongly depends on their microstructure, which is in turn determined by the synthetic approach employed. First-order Raman modes are observed at room temperature in STO single-crystalline nanocubes with average edge lengths of 60 and 120 nm, obtained via sol-precipitation coupled with hydrotherma...

In this article, a new investigation on a low-temperature electrochemical hydrocarbon and NOx sensor is presented. Based on the mixed-potential-based sensing scheme, the sensor is constructed using platinum and metal oxide electrodes, along with an Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ)/Strontium Titanate (SrTiO₃) thin-film electrolyte. Unlike traditional mixed-potential sensors which operate at high...

A number of authors have noted that usability engineering for virtual environments (VEs) is complicated by the fact that the worlds and tasks are often quite open ended and that the experience is real-time. In particular, with immersive virtual environments (IVEs), the simulation is designed and engineered so that the participant experiences presence in a place other than where they are physica...

Pr1−xCaxBa2Cu3O7−δ(x ≈0.5) thin films have been grown on SrTiO3 and YSZ substrates by the pulsed laser ablation. The substrate temperature dependence of orientation and superconducting poperties were systematically studied. Good quality c and a-axis orientated films can be obtained on SrTiO3 via changing the substrate temperature solely. On YSZ, films with good c-axis orientation can be grown, ...

We use a single example to explain (1), the Likelihood Principle, (2) Bayesian statistics, and (3) why classical statistics cannot be used to compare hypotheses. 1. The Slater School The example and quotes used in this paper come from Annals of Radiation: The Cancer at Slater School by Paul Brodeur in The New Yorker of Dec. 7, 1992. We use the example only to make a point, not a serious analysi...

The structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of (STO)4/(YTO)2 superlattice consisting of Mott insulator YTiO3 (YTO) and band insulator SrTiO3 (STO) under strain are investigated by the density-functional-theory plus U method. It is found that an insulator-metal transition occurs when a compressive strain of 0.2% is applied. The structural analyses reveal that the presence of metallic sta...
