Angles-Only Initial Relative-Orbit Determination via Successive Maneuvers
(2016-04-29)
For relative-orbit determination using linear, Cartesian dynamics, angles-only measurements are not sufficient. A known, impulsive maneuver performed by either the observer or resident space object can provide observability. ...
Angular Correlation of Electrons Emitted by Double Auger Decay of K-Shell Ionized Neon
(2011-08-02)
We have investigated in detail the $4$-body continuum state produced when core-ionized neon undergoes Double-Auger (\textsc{da}) decay, using COLd Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy (\textsc{coltrims}). We conducted ...
Annual Bluegrass (Poa annua L.) Control and Turfgrass Response to Amicarbazone
(2011-05-31)
Amicarbazone is a photosystem II (PSII)-inhibiting herbicide being evaluated for annual bluegrass control in bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) overseeded with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). The objectives of this study ...
Ant Colony Optimization : An Alternative Heuristic for Aerospace Design Applications
(2014-01-09)
A modified ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is applied to a set of solid-rocket-motor and single-stage solid missile design problems. A local search procedure is also integrated with the algorithm, adding a search ...
Antacedents and Consequences of Lodging Employees' Career Success: An Application of Motivational Theories
(2015-07-29)
The purpose of this research was to explore attitudes and perceptions of various generations of lodging employees’ views about their career success. This mixed method research employed both qualitative and quantitative ...
Antecedents of Financial Corruption in Organizations
(2018-03-19)
Implications of prior research suggest that social-control agents (e.g., boards of directors, external auditors) deter managers from financial reporting violations because of fraud and error. However, existing theory does ...
Antecedents of Older Consumers' Internet Shopping for Apparel Products: Perceived Risk and Benefits and Shopping Orientation
(2008-08-15)
Despite the growth of the Internet, one segment which marketers have overlooked is older consumers. With the rapid growth of the older consumer population and the potential the Internet holds for them, it is a subject worth ...
Antenna Array Beamforming for Low Probability of Intercept Radars
(2013-11-08)
A radar system's focus on low probability of intercept (LPI) performance has become increasingly important as systems designed for electronic support measures (ESM) and electronic counter measures (ECM) continue to become ...
Antennal Responses, Repellency, and Toxicity of Essential Oil Formulations on the German Cockroach (Blattodea: Ectobiidae)
(2022-08-05)
The toxicity, repellency, and the electroantennogram responses induced by six essential oil formulations and their components against the pyrethroid-susceptible (S) and resistant (D and E) strains of the German cockroach, ...
Anthropogenic and Climate Impacts on Groundwater Resources in the Lower Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin
(2015-01-07)
El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the major climate variability cycles around the world and is responsible for droughts in the Southeast United States. These ENSO-induced droughts have been responsible for ...
Anthropogenic and Natural Disturbances of the Nitrogen Cycle at Multiple Scales from Local to Global: A Modeling Investigation of Nitrous Oxide and Ammonia Emissions
(2019-04-18)
Nitrogen (N) is an essential element that affects natural vegetation and crop growth in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Meanwhile, N is tightly coupled with carbon and other nutrients (e.g., phosphorous) that influence ...
