In this paper, we investigate two topics related to mitigating the effect of radar bias in ballistic missile tracking applications. We determine the absolute bias between two radars in polar coordinates when their relative bias is given in rectangular coordinates. Using this result, we then obtain the optimized steady-state filter to handle the random bias.

JAMA InternalMedicinehas run a series of articles on thedangersofprescriptionopioids for the treatmentof chronicpain.1,2 Thebest solution is toavoidprescribingopioids forchronicpain because there is no high-quality evidence that they are effective for this indication, and the risk of adverse effects, including death from unintentional overdose, is great.3 But whenpatientsare inpain, andnonopioi...

We propose a novel method for mitigating erroneous wake-ups that are commonly associated with ultra-low power wake-up receivers. Recent research in low-power protocols has demonstrated significant improvements in energy-efficiency by employing ultralow power wake-up receivers. However, due to the low-complexity receiver structures adopted, wake-up receivers are susceptible to external interfere...

We present experimental and numerical evidence of a multi-frequency phase control able to preserve periodic behavior within a chaotic window as well as to re-excite chaotic behavior when it is destroyed by the presence of a mitigating unstable periodic orbit created in the presence of the multi-frequency drive. The mitigating saddle controlling the global behavior is identified and the controll...

The goal of damage-mitigating control is to enhance structural durability of mechanical systems (e.g., advanced aircraft, spacecraft, and power plants) while retaining high performance. So far the reported work in damage-mitigating control has focused on reduction of peak stresses to increase structural durability. This paper presents a novel concept that takes advantage of the physical phenome...

Much work has focused on how reappraisal is related to emotions, but not behaviors. Two experiments advanced aggression theory by (a) testing how cognitive and attributional forms of reappraisal are related to aggressive affect and behavior, (b) testing variables that theoretically mediate the relation between attributional reappraisal and aggressive behavior, (c) testing the moderating influen...

Electronic contracts are a means of representing agreed responsibilities and expected behaviour of autonomous agents acting on behalf of businesses. They can be used to regulate behaviour by providing negative consequences, penalties, where the responsibilities and expectations are not met, i.e. the contract is violated. However, long-term business relationships require some flexibility in the ...

With its large-amplitude and short-duration pulses, atmospheric noise, produced by electrical discharges within clouds, dominates the low-frequency spectrum. Unless mitigated, this noise, which enters into the Loran band, can distort a Loran signal within a receiver and can induce cycle selection errors resulting in range measurement errors of 3,000 km. Such errors would induce position errors ...

Peer influence has long been recognized as one of the key factors in many of the social health issues that affect young people. To study peer relationships, scientists use self-report surveys that impose limitations on what can be concluded from the data and that do not allow for immediate intervention. Nowadays, the increase in use of computers for communication provides new ways of studying g...
