 | Energy cost was examined while four Marines walked at 4 km/hr on an open field with each of four snowshoes. Snowshoes were the Pride Assault, Montana, British Assault, and the U.S. Army Standard. The grade of the field was about 2.4% and the Marine walked once downhill and once uphill with each snowshoe. Expired respiratory gases were collected continuously during each walk. On the downhill portion of the course, average ... |

| This thesis is an attempt to compare the current legislative and military posture of the United States, in its effort to deal with a potentially growing domestic terrorist threat, with that of Great Britain. The introductory chapter presents the argument that the United States may learn valuable lessons by examining the British response to domestic terrorism. The second chapter takes a historical look at the development of U.S. legislation that ... |

| The U.S. military will most likely be involved in numerous MOOTW and low intensity conflicts in the coming years. The operational commander will have to design an operational plan to counter smaller, weaker forces (relative to U. S. power) that posses the military and political advantage of fighting in their country, among their own people. To operate successfully, the weaker force will must subscribe to specific principles of war that ... |

These were a subsample of 150 cases studied previously when the decisions were made. Chief executives and directors (that is, presidents and vice presidents and equivalent) were interviewed about what happened. A series of factors that appear to contribute to success and failure is being elucidated. These reasons for good or bad ... |

Robert J. Macdonald; NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
|
| The United States National Security Strategy is based on two essential propositions: that peaceful international relations can be established through the global spread of democracy and economic capitalism. This thesis challenges the premise of democratic peace through a case study analysis of French, British, and United States' air power development in the 192Os and 193Os. The most powerful argument supporting this theorem is that a democracy's culture, perceptions, and practices ... |

The move is considered a departure from its original charter that precluded discussion on multilateral level on issues related to security or military. Military and security issues are discussed on bilateral level except for those ... |

| Flexural (or bending) piezoelectricity of a piezoelectric monomorph film may be enhanced by bonding two or even a number of multiple poled films to form a bimorph or a multimorph. The compliance of ceramic/polymer composite is generally greater than piezoceramics. We have produced calcium modified lead titanate, PTCa/copolymer of vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene, P(VDF-TrFE) and PTCa/Epoxy composites and have successfiilly embedded such composite films in glass-laminate structure and detected acoustic emission ... |

| The work during the present contract has shown that helicopter BVI noise will have local region of focused propagation in which the decay rate is less than inverse square. This finding has significant consequences for helicopter detection. Instantaneous maximums in helicopter noise during flyby are frequently observed. These have normally been ascribed to non-uniform aerodynamic effects at the rotor. The present model shows that such peaks are a result of ... |

| The outbreak of war in Europe in August 1914 contributed to, but did not cause, a long-running debate in the United States over 'preparedness,' the status of the national defense and the appropriate structure of the military establishment. An amateur military historian and preparedness advocate, Frederic Lenis Huidekoper, observed first-hand the military situation in England, France and Germany after the start of hostilities and returned to the United States convinced ... |

| West European stability remains a vital interest of the United States; U.S. involvement in Western Europe remains a vital interest of Western Europe. Neither stability nor involvement, however, can be maintained simply by their recognition as vital interests. Foreign policy in democracies at peace is ordinarily dependent upon internal political considerations. Since the end of the Cold War, these considerations in Western Europe and the United States have been dominated ... |

| At first glance the story of the establishment of an Army ordnance facility at Savanna, Illinois seems straight forward. In spite of President Wilson's efforts to mediate peace and maintain a neutral stance between the warring European powers, the United States was drawn into armed conflict when Imperial Germany officially resumed unrestricted submarine warfare on 1 February 1917. The subsequent sinking of six American ships prompted President Wilson to call ... |

| The Military Health Service System (MHSS) has experienced rising health care costs, raising the issue of whether the MHSS provides cost-effective peace time health care. One possible explanation for the rising health care costs is that the MHSS is a system of socialized medicine and that such systems do not incorporate incentives to control costs. This thesis addresses the question of cost-effectiveness of the MHSS by comparing and contrasting the ... |

The atomic bomb, first tested in 1952, was a remarkable success. By comparison, the delivery device, the V-bomber, was a failure. While the aircraft produced were excellent, they were deployed too late in too few numbers to be effective ... |

| A simple mathematical model for the penetration of a vapor through an adsorbent carbon bed has been used to investigate the effects of naturally induced concentration fluctuations on the breakthrough time and the degree of penetration through the bed. The model shows that the breakthrough profile through a carbon bed at time t(sub r) depends on the instantaneous inlet concentration at the retarded time t(sub r) and on the dosage ... |
