Generalized Teleparallel Theory
We construct a theory in which the gravitational interaction is described
only by torsion, but that generalizes the Teleparallel Theory still keeping the
invariance of local Lorentz transformations in one particular case. We show
that our theory falls, to a certain limit of a real parameter, in the
Gravity or, to another limit of the same real parameter, in a
modified Gravity, interpolating between these two theories and still can
fall on several other theories. We explicitly show the equivalence with
Gravity for cases of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker flat
metric for diagonal tetrads, and a metric with spherical symmetry for diagonal
and non-diagonal tetrads. We do still four applications, one in the
reconstruction of the de Sitter universe cosmological model, for obtaining a
static spherically symmetric solution type-de Sitter for a perfect fluid, for
evolution of the state parameter and for the thermodynamics to
the apparent horizon.Comment: 15 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1503.07427,

Terrain Database Correlation Assessment Using an Open Source Tool
Configuring networked simulators for training military teams in a distributed
environment requires the usage of a set of terrain databases to represent the
same training area. The results of simulation exercises can be degraded if the
terrain databases are poorly correlated. A number of methodologies for
determining the correlation between terrain databaHowever, there are few
computational tools for this task and most of them were developed to address
government needs, have limited availability, and handle specific digital
formats. The goal of this paper is thus to present a novel open source tool
developed as part of an academic research project.Comment: 12 pages, I/ITSEC 201
