The Human Alerting and Interruption Logistics (HAIL) technology is introduced into the Aegis surface warfare platform to increase warfighter capability to deal with high alerting rates. A spiral development and evaluation process investigated the implications of this new technology on operator performance. The Aegis-HAIL application, as compared to the B/L-7/1 alert processing, increased human ...

Abstract Methods to improve the representation of hail in Thompson-Eidhammer microphysics scheme are explored. A new two-moment and predicted density graupel category is implemented into scheme. Additionally, one-moment category’s intercept parameter modified, based on observations, shift properties become more hail-like since designed represent both hail. Finally, methods diagnose maximum expe...

Hail events have the potential to destroy grapevine shoots, reduce yield, and inflict economic loss upon growers. As a result, many grape growers adopted use of hail-netting mitigate vine damage. Although has been observed prevent hail damage, Texas High Plains expressed concerns regarding effects may on canopy microclimate, health, fruit maturity, quality yield. Therefore, over three growing s...

Abstract Hail damage is a leading cause of insured losses in Australia, but changes this hazard have not been robustly quantified. Here, we provide continental-scale analysis hail Australia. A proxy applied to reanalysis data shows that from 1979–2021 annual hail-prone days decreased over much Australia increased some heavily populated areas. For example, the number by ~40% around Sydney and Pe...

This paper introduces some new ideas related to the challenge of endowing a hypothetical future superintelligent AI with values that would cause it to act in ways that are beneficial. Since candidates for first-best solutions to this problem (e.g. coherent extrapolated volition) may be very difficult to implement, it is worth also looking for less-ideal solutions that may be more easily impleme...
