This final report provides the results of the Modeling of Embedded Human Systems (MEHS) project, Award #FA9550-091-0519. The goal of the work was a new approach to modeling embedded human systems; that is, systems where components are both human and computational. These systems are unique since the differences in time for a computational controller, as opposed to a human-centric controller, wil...

We present HST /FOS ultraviolet and optical spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray transient GRO J0422+32 shortly before the system reached quiescence. We find that the accretion spectrum from 2500–9000Å can be very well fit by a self-absorbed synchrotron model, with superposed H i and Mg ii emission lines. The explanations we suggest for this spectrum are that it is either due to active coronal ...
