Korea Military Academy, 2007 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2015 Major Professor: Gene Lee © 2015 Youngkun Yoo ii ABSTRACT Each Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) simulation model has been developed and used with many benefits. When system developers created each simulation model, focused on specific standards to fit to their own respective purposes. Consequently, there have been interoperability issues among simulation models that have many limitations. To be specific, despite various efforts to achieve and maintain complete interoperability in LVC simulation environment, substantial limiting factors have remained in technical and managerial fields. Thus, analyzing and prioritizing limiting factors in LVC simulation is the effective way to solve interoperability problems while saving budget and time. The purpose of this research is to analyze the priority of limiting factors in LVC simulation interoperability. Based on the identified limiting factors from the literature review, this study performed Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) survey to generate weights of experts’ judgement for each limiting factor. Following the AHP survey targeted to LVC simulation experts, this researcher suggest the priority of limiting factors that are needed to be focused on as well as recommendations for future research. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................................ viii LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................................... ix CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION ..........................................................................................1 1.1 Background .......................................................................................................................1 1.2 Problem Statement ............................................................................................................3 1.3 Potential Contribution .......................................................................................................4 1.4 Thesis Overview ................................................................................................................4 CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW...............................................................................5 2.1 Chapter Overview .............................................................................................................5 2.2 Area 1: Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) Simulation .........................................................5 2.2.1 Definition of LVC simulation .....................................................................................5 2.2.2 Standard Architecture of LVC simulation ...................................................................8 2.3 Area 2: Interoperability ................................................................................................... 13 2.3.1 The Definition of Interoperability ............................................................................. 13 2.3.2 Classification of Interoperability ............................................................................... 16 2.4 Area 3: Systems Engineering for LVC simulation Interoperability ................................... 17 2.4.1 System of Systems (SoS) .......................................................................................... 17 2.4.2 Systems Engineering for LVC simulation ................................................................. 18 iv 2.5 Area 4: Limiting Factors in LVC Simulation interoperability........................................... 20 2.5.1 Technical Limiting Factors ....................................................................................... 20 2.5.2 Managerial Limiting Factors ..................................................................................... 22 2.6 Area 5: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) ...................................................................... 22 2.6.1 Overview of AHP ..................................................................................................... 22 2.6.2 The process of AHP .................................................................................................. 24 2.7 Summary ......................................................................................................................... 29 CHAPTER THREE: METHODOLOGY ................................................................................... 30 3.1 Introduction ..................................................................................................................... 30 3.2.

  • A Limiting Factor
    Published on Plants in Action (http://plantsinaction.science.uq.edu.au/edition1) Home > Printer-friendly > Printer-friendly Chapter 15 - Water: a limiting factor [1] A superb stand of flooded gums, (Eucalyptus grandis) near Coffs Habour, northern New South Wales, 'each tall because of each' (Les Murray (1991), Collected Poems) (Photograph by Ken Eldridge, supplied by Peter Burgess, CSIRO Forestry and Forest Products) With perspective phrasing, Les Murray (1991) summarises structural aspects of a gum forest as: 'Flooded gums on creek ground, each tall because of each' and on conceptualising water relations, 'Foliage builds like a layering splash: ground water drily upheld in edge-on, wax rolled, gall-puckered leaves upon leaves. The shoal life of parrots up there.' (Les Murray, Collected Poems, 1991) Introduction Life-giving water molecules, fundamental to our biosphere, are as remarkable as they are abundant. Hydrogen bonds, enhanced by dipole forces, confer extraordinary physical properties on liquid water that would not be expected from atomic structure alone. Water has the strongest surface tension, biggest specific heat, largest latent heat of vaporisation and, with the exception of mercury, the best thermal conductivity of any known natural liquid. A high specific grav-ity is linked to a high specific heat, and very few natural substances require 1 calorie to increase the temperature of 1 gram by 1ºC. Similarly, a high heat of vaporisation means that 500 calories are required to convert 1 gram of water from liquid to vapour at 100ºC. This huge energy requirement (latent heat of vaporisation, Section 14.5) ties up much heat so that massive bodies of water contribute to climatic stability, while tiny bodies of water are significant for heat budgets of organisms.

  • Population Growth Is a Critical Factor in Specie’S Ability to Maintain Homeostasis Within Its Environment
    Chapter 4-B1 Population Ecology Population growth is a critical factor in specie’s ability to maintain homeostasis within its environment. Main themes ~Scientists study population characteristics to better understand growth and distribution of organisms. ~Populations have different distributions and densities depending on the species represented in the population ~Organisms in a population compete for energy sources, such as food and sunlight ~Homeostasis within a population is controlled by density-dependent and density-independent limiting factors ~Human population varies little overall, but can change greatly within small populations. I. Population dynamics A. 1.

  • Memory, History, and the Preservation of Archival Records*
    The Past that Archives Keep: Memory, History, and the Preservation of Archival Records* BRIEN BROTHMAN RÉSUMÉ Est-ce que « le passé » prend des sens différents dans les contextes de l’histoire et de la mémoire? Est-ce que la réponse à cette question a une relation avec les archives? Cet article répond par l’affirmative à ces deux questions. Son argument principal est que d’attribuer un sens distinct au « passé » dans le cadre de la mémoire permet le développement d’une perspective sur le travail archivistique qui rehausse la valeur des documents anciens pour les organisations et la société contemporaines. Le raisonnement de l’auteur se dévoile en trois sections. La première veut démontrer que certains éléments du concept australien de continuum des documents sont plus compat- ibles avec l’idée de la mémoire sociale et organisationnelle que ne l’est celui du cycle de vie des documents et que de plus, sur un plan archivistique, le continuum des docu- ments est un concept plus cohérent au point de vue temporel que le cycle de vie des documents. La deuxième section se base sur des recherches de différentes disciplines pour démontrer que, dans le cadre de la mémoire, faire référence au passé représente simplement une autre façon de parler du présent. La troisième section se fonde sur les idées des deux premières pour proposer dix questions d’ordre conceptuel, organisation- nel et technologique qui requièrent l’attention en ce qui concerne les programmes de conservation à long terme des documents d’archives. ABSTRACT Does “the past” take on different meanings in the contexts of history and memory? Does the answer to this question have any bearing on archives? This arti- cle answers affirmatively to both these questions.

  • Holism Agriculture and Natural Resources
    Holism Agriculture and Natural Resources An Inaugural Lecture Given in the University of Rhodesia by Professor J. M. de Yilliers UNIVERSITY OF RHODESIA l.'nirersity of Rhodesia Printed in Rhodesia by Sebri Printers, Martin Drive, Msasa, Salisbury HOLISM, AGRICULTURE, AND NATURAL RESOURCES I am unable to resist the temptation to recall for you tonight what Mark Prestwich, on acceding to the Chair of History and Political Science in the University of Natal, had to say about the Inaugural Lecture — this ordeal to which new Professors are subjected. The occasion, said Professor Prestwich, affords his learned colleagues the opportunity to enjoy one of the pleasures of malice — the pleasure of noting his superficiality, his deficiencies of oratory and power of reasoning, the abysmal deeps of his ignorance. His students are able to taste revenge for what he has done or will do to them, and the lay public is treated to a display of academic nakedness which bears remarkable similarities to the initiation rites practised by primitive tribes. The purpose of all this, no doubt, is to ensure that he will not become too big for his boots. And there is the prospect of direr perils still. Such as the fate which befell a certain ninth-century philosopher — one Johannes Scotus Erigena — who so exasperated his audience that they rose up and slew him with their styluses. One is told also of Nicolas Cop who was compelled to flee for his life after his Inaugural Lec­ ture as Rector of the University of Paris in 1533. And of Ernest Renan whose Inaugural Lecture as Professor of Hebrew in 1862 led to his instant suspension from the Chair.

  • Successive Range Expansion Promotes Diversity and Accelerates Evolution in Spatially Structured Microbial Populations
    The ISME Journal (2017) 11, 2112–2123 © 2017 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/17 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Successive range expansion promotes diversity and accelerates evolution in spatially structured microbial populations Felix Goldschmidt1,2, Roland R Regoes1 and David R Johnson2 1Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland and 2Department of Environmental Microbiology, Eawag, Dübendorf, Switzerland Successive range expansions occur within all domains of life, where one population expands first (primary expansion) and one or more secondary populations then follow (secondary expansion). In general, genetic drift reduces diversity during range expansion. However, it is not clear whether the same effect applies during successive range expansion, mainly because the secondary population must expand into space occupied by the primary population. Here we used an experimental microbial model system to show that, in contrast to primary range expansion, successive range expansion promotes local population diversity. Because of mechanical constraints imposed by the presence of the primary population, the secondary population forms fractal-like dendritic structures. This divides the advancing secondary population into many small sub-populations and promotes intermixing between the primary and secondary populations. We further developed a mathematical model to simulate the formation of dendritic structures in the secondary population during succession. By introducing mutations in the primary or dendritic secondary populations, we found that mutations are more likely to accumulate in the dendritic secondary populations. Our results thus show that successive range expansion can promote intermixing over the short term and increase genetic diversity over the long term. Our results therefore have potentially important implications for predicting the ecological processes and evolutionary trajectories of microbial communities.

  • Shelford's Law & Concept of Limiting Factor
    Shelford’S Law & Concept of Limiting Factor Dr. Md. Osaid Alam Guest Faculty (Environmental Science & Management) Department of Zoology Patna University 1 Shelford’s Law of Intolerance • Shelford's law of tolerance is a principle developed by American zoologist Victor Ernest Shelford in 1911. • Shelford's law of tolerance states that an organism’s success is based on a complex set of conditions and that each organism has a certain minimum, maximum, and optimum environmental factor or combination of factors that determine success. • According to the law of tolerance, populations have optimal survival conditions within critical minimal and maximal thresholds. • As population is exposed to the extremes of a particular limiting factor, the rates of survival begin to drop. 2 Shelford’s Law of Intolerance • The distribution of a species in response to a limiting factor can be represented as a bell-shaped curve with three distinct regions: 1. Optimal zone: Central portion of curve which has conditions that favour maximal reproductive success and survivability. 2. Zones of stress: Regions flanking the optimal zone, where organisms can survive but with reduced reproductive success. 3. Zones of intolerance: Outermost regions in which organisms cannot survive (represents extremes of the limiting factor). 3 Shelford’s Law of Intolerance • According to the Shelford’s law of tolerance, there are upper and lower threshold value on the gradient beyond which the species cannot survive. Tolerance range differ for one species to another. 4 Definition of Limiting Factor • A limiting factor is a resource or environmental condition which limits the growth, distribution or abundance of an organism or population within an ecosystem.
