This thesis primarily describes performance and decision heuristics of human operators intervention with an autonomous formation flight (AFF) system during monitoring of a station-keeping display. Due to mental and physical workloads, automation technologies have been applied to formation flight for precise station-keeping and resultant fuel reduction, shifting control authority from humans to ...

Bisphosphonates, the most commonly used osteoporosis treatment, have been effective in preventing osteoporotic fractures by suppressing bone turnover. The recent reports of atypical femoral fracture and its possible association with prolonged bisphosphonate use brought into attention the possibility of adverse mechanical modifications in bone due to extensive suppression of bone turnover [1, 2]...

let $a = (a_{i,j})_{1 leq i,j leq n}$ be an $n times n$ matrixwhere $n geq 2$. let $dt(a)$, its second immanant be the immanant corresponding to the partition $lambda_2 = 2,1^{n-2}$. let $g$ be a connected graph with blocks $b_1, b_2, ldots b_p$ and with$q$-exponential distance matrix $ed_g$. we given an explicitformula for $dt(ed_g)$ which shows that $dt(ed_g)$ is independent of the manner in ...

PURPOSE The location of the arterial occlusion can help with prognostication and treatment triage of acute stroke patients. We aimed to determine the effects of M1 distance-to-thrombus on angiographic recanalization success rate and clinical outcome following endovascular treatment of acute M1 occlusion. METHODS All acute ischemic stroke patients with M1 segment middle cerebral artery (MCA) o...

Methods for answering distance queries on large graphs through a preprocessed data structure have a rich history of study. Recent evaluations on social and information networks have shown that there are very efficient landmark based labeling schemes on these networks, even for exact distances. However, it is unclear what are the essential properties of these networks that make short labelings p...
