It is shown that the optimal polarizations for a scattering object in the bistatic scattering geometry can be described in a simple way, from which the backscatter case follows readily. For practical computation of optimal polarizations in bistatic scattering, it has been found that the bistatic extension of C. Graves (1956) is much more advantageous than the generalized version of E. Kennaugh (1952), since the solutions of these nonlinear equations are more difficult to obtain.< >

Performing long-term pump tests, single-well aquifer tests and long-term ground water monitoring were, in the past, considered costly and labor-intensive tasks. However, because of recent advances in portable data acquisition systems, these field tests can be performed in a relatively cost-effective and efficient manner. Certain data acquisition systems (DAS) have unique options available. Recently developed and commonly used computers are the Envirolab®, the Paroscientific®, and the In-Situ®. The use of implementing DAS in ground water field studies has proved to be successful when compared to the many disadvantages of performing those tasks manually. Successful acquisition of aquifer characterization data using computerized methods is highly dependent on the implementation of proper field programming and operational procedures. In order to provide high qualify and meaningful data, the field operator must be familiar with proper equipment implementation and programming instructions. Once familiar with these procedures, the use of DAS in the field provides a cost-effective and efficient tool for aquifer testing.

A ship design methodology is presented for developing hull forms that attain improved performance in both seakeeping and resistance. Contrary to traditional practice, the methodology starts with developing a seakeeping-optimized hull form without making concessions to other performance considerations, such as resistance. The seakeeping-optimized hull is then modified to improve other performance characteristics without degrading the seakeeping. Presented is a point-design example produced by this methodology. Merits of the methodology and the point design are assessed on the basis of theoretical calculations and model experiments. This methodology is an integral part of the Hull Form Design System (HFDS) being developed for computer-supported naval ship design. The modularized character of HFDS and its application to hull form development are discussed.

Field-effect-controlled electrical and galvanomagnetic measurements have been made on transistorlike five-terminal metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) structures using n-type 0. 25 mu m thick Ga//0//. //4//7In//0//. //5//3As epitaxial layers grown on semi-insulating InP substrates. These layers have an electron density n equals 3. 5 multiplied by 10**1**6 cm** minus **3 and a mobility mu //n equals 7. 5 multiplied by 10**3 cm**2/V-s; 0. 13 mu m thick Al//2O//3 dielectric layers, grown by a rf plasma-assisted low temperature chemical-vapor deposition (CVD) process were employed as gate insulators under 0. 01 cm**2 vacuum-deposited aluminum gates. Hall effect and resistivity measurements were made on such structures and the experimentally observed gate voltage dependent change in resistivity and Hall coefficient of the conducting channel under the gate have been related to the corresponding change in the depletion depth of the surface space charge region.

The potential use of rudders as anti-roll devices has long been recognized. However, the possible interference of this secondary function of the rudder with its primary role as the steering mechanism has prevented, for many years, the development of practical rudder roll stabilizers. The practical feasibility of rudder roll stabilization has, however, in recent years been demonstrated by two systems designed and developed for operational evaluation aboard two different U.S. C oast G uard Cutters, i.e., Jarvis and Mellon of the 3,000-ton, 378-foot HAMILTON Class. The authors describe the major components of the rudder roll stabilization (RRS) system, along with the design goals and methodology as applied to these first two prototypes. In addition, a brief history of the hardware development is provided in order to show some of the lessons learned. The near flawless performance of the prototypes over the past four years of operational use in the North Pacific is documented. Results from various sea trials and reports of the ship operators are cited and discussed. The paper concludes with a discussion of the costs and benefits of roll stabilization achieved using both a modern anti-roll fin system, as well as two different performance level RRS systems. The benefits of roll stabilization are demonstrated by the relative expansion in the operational envelopes of the USS OLIVER HAZARD PERRY (FFG-7) Class. The varying levels of roll stabilization suggest that the merits of fins and RRS systems are strongly dependent on mission requirements and the environment. The demonstrated performance of the reliable RRS system offers the naval ship acquisition manager a good economical stabilization system.

The conventional approaches to decision analysis are based on the assumption that the probabilities which enter into the assessment of the consequences of a decision are known numbers. In most realistic settings, this assumption is of questionable validity since the data from which the probabilities must be estimated are usually incomplete, imprecise or not totally reliable. In the approach outlined in this paper, the probabilities are assumed to be fuzzy rather than real numbers. It is shown how such probabilities may be estimated from fuzzy data and a basic relation between joint, conditional and marginal fuzzy probabilities is established. Manipulation of fuzzy probabilities requires, in general, the use of fuzzy arithmetic, and many of the properties of fuzzy probabilities are simple generalizations of the corresponding properties of real-valued probabilities.

Presented in this paper is a new method for determining model parameters with uncertainty of a large-scale system, and its application to the multi-objective, multi-region, and multi-sector industry allocation model of Japan already developed by the authors. Firstly an opportunity loss is defined on the parameter domain. The criterion for determining uncertain parameters is tantamount to the so-called min-max problem. Since the opportunity loss is not an explicit function of parameters, the conventional procedure for a min-max problem cannot be applied directly. Therefore a modification of the method is also proposed. An application of the proposed approach to the industry allocation model demonstrates its usefulness and effectiveness.
