Drone Fleet Survivability Evaluation Based on Lanchester’s Modified Deterministic Model

An algorithmic approach for the assessment of the survivability is proposed that is based on Lanchester’s modified deterministic model. Methods are suggested for increasing the available time capability for nuclear power plant monitoring and coverage, using the required or a limited number of the operable drones,. Dependencies of the variance between the residual fleet damage and permissible drone fleet damage on monitoring time as well as dependencies of the monitoring time on the recovery group productivity are analysed

Ex pede Parmenidem : an inquiry into bottomless things

In this thesis this writer explores first-hand via a participative hermeneutics from an objective idealist perspective the relationship between consciousness, language and the world by reconstructing the seminal philosophy contained in the fifth century poem of Parmenides of Elea--first, in dialogue format, secondly through an essay in which two men, one last and one higher, are each respectively de- and reconstructed for the purpose of indicating, in that final section of the essay, how they each define their own paradigm of education in comparison to M. J. Adler and Carl Rogers

An inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for a layered ellipsoid

The scattering problem of a time-harmonic electromagnetic plane wave by a dielectric ellipsoid with a perfectly conductive confocal ellipsoidal core is considered. A method for solving an inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for the layered ellipsoid using near-field data or far-field data is presented. The size and the orientation of the layered ellipsoid can be obtained, using a finite number of measurements of the low-frequency approximation of the electric scattered field or the electric far-field pattern. Corresponding results for the dielectric ellipsoid and the perfectly conductive ellipsoid are presented considering them as physically degenerate forms of the layered ellipsoid. Moreover, results for the layered sphere and the layered spheroid may be obtained, considering them as geometrically degenerate forms of the layered ellipsoid. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

The Theatre of Mind: an Educational Tool of Teaching Emotional Intelligence Via ICTs and Distant Learning

The aim of this paper is to provide a different approach in the educational process, introducing “The Theatre of Mind” - a term that we use instead of the term tabletop Role Playing Games (tRPGs)- as a powerful interdisciplinary educational tool with a view to cultivating and developing the emotional intelligence of students. According to this approach, my intention is to indicate how the use of the Theatre of Mind in the educational environment can be an integral asset; not only in teaching school's subjects (ex. Language, History, Physics etc.) but also in teaching behavior, culture, ideals, and ethical values. Therefore, it aims at student's mental and emotional stimulation targeting the integration of mental and emotional process emphasizing the latter. Thus, the Theatre of Mind may provoke and develop concrete emotions, manners and behavior through simulating real life. It is a method that may provide a unique experience for the student. Concluding, I suggest that the Theatre of Mind due to its nature and by means of a special design can function as the field where learners will deal with a holistic cultural experience monitoring and developing emotional intelligence even in distant learning. &nbsp

Role Playing Vs RPGs as Teaching Strategies in Educational Procedure

The aim of this paper is to shed new light on an innovative teaching strategy and specifically presents the comparison between the use of Role Playing and the use of Role-Playing Games (RPGs) in the educational procedure emphasizing on the unique characteristics of the latter. I will present the theoretical framework of Role Playing and RPGs as well as their benefits and characteristics, concluding to their substantial difference
