Is sea-basing a viable method of providing logistic support to the UK amphibious force?
No full textMaritime power has traditionally been a central part of the UK’s defence planning and is well
suited to supporting a wide range of military operations. The littoral area has always created
problems for naval planners as most landings historically have had to endure a tactical
separation of the naval and land components, and hence an artificial seam between the Navy
and the Marines. With the end of the Cold War, amphibious operations are going to be more
difficult to conduct than in the past, and amphibious forces are going to have to adopt
manoeuvre warfare capabilities in order to successfully complete their missions. It is very
likely that amphibious forces will have to conduct operations against a numerically superior
enemy, who is on his own terrain, and be surrounded by a neutral, if not hostile populace. As
such, the concept of Operational Manoeuvre From The Sea (OMFTS) whereby the sea is used
as a manoeuvre space, and command and control is fast enough to cope with large amounts of
information, but at the same time allow subordinates maximum flexibility to use their
initiative, is increasingly attractive. It will be important not only for the combat elements to be
able to use this new concept, but the Combat Service Support (CSS) elements as well

No full textXML wordt in veel situaties gebruikt, en voor dat gebruik worden talloze tools gebouwd. Er zijn verschillende manieren om XML-tools te ontwikkelen, en dit artikel behandelt de voor- en nadelen van de verschillende alternatieven. XML en XML-tools De uitgever Kluwer biedt verschillende soorten informatie aan, zoals wetteksten en belastinggidsen. Deze informatie heeft vaak een vaste structuur: een wet heeft bijvoorbeeld altijd een nummer, en een belastinggids beschrijft componenten die voorkomen op het inkomstenbelastingformulier. De structuur verschilt echter van informatiesoort tot informatiesoort. Voor de beschrijving van een document van dit soort structuren gebruikt Kluwer de Extensible Markup Language (XML) [6], en voor de beschrijving van een structuur zelf een Document Type Definitions (DTD) of een Schema. Een manier om de populariteit van een onderwerp te bepalen is Google te vragen hoe vaak een term voorkomt op het Web, of eigenlijk, in de databases van Google. Zo komen de Beatles bijna 3 miljoen keer voor, en ABBA honderdduizend keer. XML komt ongeveer 20 miljoen keer voor, en verslaat daarmee alle programmeertalen behalve Java. Een andere populariteitsmaat is het aantal vierkante meters boekenplank dat in beslag wordt genomen door boeken over het onderwerp in een academische boekhandel. In mijn lokale boekhandel verslaat XML menig andere nieuwe technologie. Maar wat is XML? XML is een eenvoudig, flexibel tekstformaat, dat veel gebruikt wordt voor het uitwisselen van data op het internet, maar ook tussen bedrijven onderling, en tussen bedrijven en hun klanten. Hier is een voorbeeld van een XML document

Fabrication of Nanoslits with <111> Etching TSWE Method
No full textIn this paper, we report a modified three step anisotropic wet etching (TSWE) method to fabricate solid-state silicon nanoslits. The slit-opening process is performed by <111> crystal plane etching. The etching rate of the <111> crystal plane is reasonably slow as it is only 1/45 of the <100> etching rate, thus allowing and therefore good slits-opening controllability. By slowly etching the <111> crystal plane, the over-etching was effectively reduced. Perfectly rectangular nanoslits with different dimensions were successfully obtained. The smallest achieved feature size of the nanoslit is 8.3 nm.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic Components, Technology and Material
Dietary Observations of Ultra-Endurance Runners in Preparation for and During a Continuous 24-h Event
No full textCarbohydrate (CHO) intake recommendations for events lasting longer than 3h indicate that athletes should ingest up to 90g.h.−1 of multiple transportable carbohydrates (MTC). We examined the dietary intake of amateur (males: n=11, females: n=7) ultra-endurance runners (mean age and mass 41.5±5.1years and 75.8±11.7kg) prior to, and during a 24-h ultra-endurance event. Heart rate and interstitial glucose concentration (indwelling sensor) were also tracked throughout the event. Pre-race diet (each 24 over 48h) was recorded via weighed intake and included the pre-race meal (1–4h pre-race). In-race diet (24h event) was recorded continuously, in-field, by the research team. Analysis revealed that runners did not meet the majority of CHO intake recommendations. CHO intake over 24–48h pre-race was lower than recommended (4.0±1.4g·kg−1; 42±9% of total energy), although pre-race meal CHO intake was within recommended levels (1.5±0.7g·kg−1). In-race CHO intake was only in the 30–60g·h−1 range (mean intake 33±12g·h−1) with suboptimal amounts of multiple transportable CHO consumed. Exercise intensity was low to moderate (mean 68%HRmax 45%VO2max) meaning that there would still be an absolute requirement for CHO to perform optimally in this ultra-event. Indeed, strong to moderate positive correlations were observed between distance covered and both CHO and energy intake in each of the three diet periods studied. Independent t-tests showed significantly different distances achieved by runners consuming ≥5 vs. <5g·kg−1 CHO in pre-race diet [98.5±18.7miles (158.5±30.1km) vs. 78.0±13.5miles (125.5±21.7km), p=0.04] and ≥40 vs. <40g·h−1 CHO in-race [92.2±13.9miles (148.4±22.4km) vs. 74.7±13.5miles (120.2±21.7km), p=0.02]. Pre-race CHO intake was positively associated with ultra-running experience, but no association was found between ultra-running experience and race distance. No association was observed between mean interstitial glucose and dietary intake, or with race distance. Further research should explore approaches to meeting pre-race dietary CHO intake as well as investigating strategies to boost in-race intake of multiple transportable CHO sources. In 24-h ultra-runners, studies examining the performance enhancing benefits of getting closer to meeting pre-race and in-race carbohydrate recommendations are required

PAN15 Author Identification: Verification
No full text<p>We provide you with a training corpus that comprises a set of author verification problems in several languages/genres. Each problem consists of some (up to five) known documents by a single person and exactly one questioned document. All documents within a single problem instance will be in the same language. However, their genre and/or topic may differ significantly. The document lengths vary from a few hundred to a few thousand words.</p>
<p>The documents of each problem are located in a separate folder, the name of which (problem ID) encodes the language of the documents. The following list shows the available sub-corpora, including their language, type (cross-genre or cross-topic), code, and examples of problem IDs:</p>
<p>Language; Type; Code; Problem IDs<br>
Dutch; Cross-genre; DU; DU001, DU002, DU003, etc.<br>
English; Cross-topic; EN; EN001, EN002, EN003, etc.<br>
Greek; Cross-topic; GR; GR001, GR002, GR003, etc.<br>
Spanish; Cross-genre; SP; SP001, SP002, SP003, etc.</p>
<p>The ground truth data of the training corpus found in the file <code>truth.txt</code> include one line per problem with problem ID and the correct binary answer (Y means the known and the questioned documents are by the same author and N means the opposite). For example:</p>
