This chapter describes a study conducted at the Swinburne University of Technology in Australia, in their School of Business. The study was to explore the applicability of a judgment-analytic decision support system to the assessment of the likelihood of an applicant being selected for admission to the School's graduate Certificate in Business Administration (GCBA) program. The likelihood of a program administrator selecting a particular applicant is directly linked to the assessment of the likelihood of that applicant's success in the GCBA program. The purpose of this study, in effect, was to analyze the administrative judgment process in assessment of an applicant's likelihood of success in the program. THE PROCESS OF HUMAN JUDGMENT Human judgment is a process through which an individual uses social infonnation to make decisions. The social infonnation is obtained from an individual's environment and is interpreted through the individual's cognitive image of the environment. The. cognitive image provides a representation of the environment based on past experiences and training, and essentially predisposes the person to respond to social infonnation in predictable ways. An individual's policies or beliefs about the environment represent these patterns. Human judgments are based then upon one's interpretation of available infonnation. They are probability statements about one's environment and how one reacts to it. This condition leads to the human judgment process being inherently limited. It is fundamentally a covert process. It is seldom possible for an individual to accurately describe his or her judgment process accurately.

DOLAN, JOHN W.REAR ADMIRALTHE AUTHOR graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy in June 1939 and was commissioned Ensign. He subsequently advanced in rank
attaining that of Rear Admiral to date from January 1 1967. His first assignment was aboard the USS PENSACOLA the heavy cruiser operating in the Pacific when the U. S. entered World War II. Detached from the PENSACOLA in May 1942 he received postgraduate instruction in naval architecture and marine engineering at M. I. T. where he earned his M. S. degree in 1944. Designated for Engineering Duty Only in that year he was assigned in November to the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard to serve in connection with aircraft carrier construction and ship repair until November 1946. The next month he joined the Staff of Commander Service Force U.S. Pacific as Fleet Maintenance Officer and in August 1949 reported as Production Assistant to the Director of the Ship Technical Division Bureau of Ships Navy Department. He was Assistant Repair Superintendent at the Charleston (South Carolina) Naval Shipyard for a two-year period ending in July 1956 after which time he attended the Naval War College Newport Rhode Island. Completing the course in June 1957 he was assigned to Puget Sound (Washington) Naval Shipyard. In August 1960 he became Shipbuilding Assistant to the Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Ships for Design Shipbuilding and Fleet Maintenance Navy Department and in April 1963 was detached for duty as Commander San Francisco Naval Shipyard. In December 1965 he assumed command of the Long Beach Naval Shipyard and in October 1967 reported as Fleet Maintenance Officer/Assistant Chief of Staff for Maintenance and Logistic Plans Staff Commander in Chief U. S. Atlantic Fleet. He also held the additional duty as Maintenance Officer Staff Commander in Chief Atlantic and Commander in Chief Western Atlantic. In August 1969 he was ordered for his present duty as Deputy Commander for Field Activities Program Director for Shipyard Modernization and Management Naval Ships Sy
The U. S. Naval Shipyards are a tremendous industrial capability, of irreplaceable value to the Fleet. Their specific capabilities have been tailored to meet the needs of a changing mix of ship types that make up the ...

Dynamic walking on bipedal robots has evolved from an idea in science fiction to a practical reality. This is due to continued progress in three key areas: a mathematical understanding of locomotion, the computational ability to encode this mathematics through optimization, and the hardware capable of realizing this understanding in practice. In this context, this review outlines the end-to-end process of methods that have proven effective in the literature for achieving dynamic walking on bipedal robots. We begin by introducing mathematical models of locomotion, from reduced-order models that capture essential walking behaviors to hybrid dynamical systems that encode the full-order continuous dynamics along with discrete foot-strike dynamics. These models form the basis for gait generation via (nonlinear) optimization problems. Finally, models and their generated gaits merge in the context of real-time control, wherein walking behaviors are translated to hardware. The concepts presented are illustrated throughout in simulation, and experimental instantiations on multiple walking platforms are highlighted to demonstrate the ability to realize dynamic walking on bipedal robots that is both agile and efficient.

HANSEN, O. RICHARDUHLER, DALE G.O. Richard Hansen obtained a BSCE from Colorado State University in 1950 and has participated in continuing educational courses at the University of Washington
Wayne State University and the University of Michigan. He was employed at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for five years as a Mechanical Engineer and Project leader in industrial gases and cryogenic O2. Producers for Shipboard Applications followed by seven years at Chrysler Corporation initially as a project engineer in the FBM program subsequently assigned to Mechanical Laboratory achieving Managing Engineer status of a department therein which contained the facilities group instrumentation group and an experimental machine shop. This was followed by employment at Westinghouse Astronuclear Laboratories as a senior engineer conducting studies in two phase liquid hydrogen flow in simulated NERVA cores. Following this he served two years of employment with the Lockheed Georgia Company conducting material studies in combined nuclear cryogenic environments at the NASA 60 megawatt test reactor located in Sandusky Ohio. Joined NAVSEC in 1966 as a mechanical engineer in the compressed air systems group and has been assigned to the Supervisor of Diving Salvage and Ocean Engineering conducting analysis and evaluation of compressed air and gas systems associated with diving and salvage operations. Dale G. Uhler received BSCE degree from Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1964. He spent two years as a construction engineer before entering graduate school at the University of Miami
Florida where he received his MS degree in applied mechanics with a minor in Ocean Engineering in 1968. He is now employed as an Ocean Engineer in the office of the U. S. Navy Director of Diving Salvage and Ocean Engineering where he is the project manager for the Large Object Salvage System and related development programs and concurrently working toward his Ph. D. at Catholic University.
The advent of deep ocean technology has created a need of buoyancy at ever increasing depths. This paper concerns itself with two most widely used techniques for dewatering/deballasting, compressed air supplied by sur...

This book contains interesting findings of some state-of-the-art research in the field of signal and image processing. It contains twenty one chapters covering a wide range of signal processing applications involving filtering, encoding, classification, segmentation, clustering, feature extraction, denoising, watermarking, object recognition, reconstruction and fractal analysis. Various types of signals including image, video, speech, non-speech audio, handwritten text, geometric diagram, ECG and EMG signals, MRI, PET and CT scan images, THz signals, solar wind speed signals (SWS) and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals have been dealt with. It demonstrates how new paradigms of intelligent computing like quantum computing can be applied to process and analyze signals in a most precise and effective manner. Processing of high precision signals for real time target recognition by radar and processing of brain images, ECG and EMG signals that feature in this book have significant implications in defense mechanism and medical diagnosis. There are also applications of hybrid methods, algorithms and image filters which are proving to be better than the individual techniques or algorithms. Thus the present volume, enriched in depth and variety of techniques and algorithms concerning processing of various types of signals, is likely to be used as a compact yet handy reference for the young researchers, academicians and scientists working in the domain of signal and image processing and also to the post graduate students of computer science and information technology.
