Synthetic aperture radar images of ocean waves, theories of imaging physics and experimental tests [PDF]
, 1984 The physical mechanism for the synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging of ocean waves is investigated through the use of analytical models. The models are tested by comparison with data sets from the SEASAT mission and airborne SAR's.

Haunting the Historiography of Slaves in South Asia from the nineteenth century to the present
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using both English and Urdu‐language records, this article traces the career of a few African and Afro‐Asian women slaves in the household‐state of Awadh during the first half of the nineteenth century. Focusing on the same records, this article compares a master‐poet's recognition of the motherhood of the African and Afro‐Asian slaves to the ...

Automatic Ship Recognition Chain on Satellite Multispectral Imagery
IEEE Access, 2020 This article elaborates a processing chain devised to recognize the ships existing on medium resolution multispectral imageries (MSI). The chain consists of the following three steps. Firstly, an adaptive local saliency mapping technique is instigated on

Wake Distribution of Ship and Model on Full Ship Form
Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1973 In order to investigate the wake distribution of full ships, the measurements of the flow around the sterns of a ship and its model were carried out with five-hole pitot tubes. On the ship, a 200, 000 D. W. T. tanker, the measured section was situated at about 4. 5% of Lpp forward from A.

Churchill and Germany: A ‘Special’ Relationship
History, EarlyView.Abstract No other country defined the trajectory of Churchill's political career more than Germany, a country of which he had little direct knowledge but which he either sought to emulate, accommodate or oppose throughout his time in politics. This article traces Churchill's relationship with Germany from his entry into politics at the beginning of the

Bubble density gradient with laser detection: A wake-homing scheme for supercavitating vehicles
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018 The poor mobility and complex target motion estimation are the two main challenges in the anti-ship attack missions of high-speed guided missiles. In this study, a new wake-homing scheme of supercavitating vehicles is proposed using the gradient wake ...

Modelling and Simulation at The University of Liverpool in Support of UK Naval Aviation [PDF]
, 2016 Along with the restricted landing area and the rolling, pitching and heaving of the ship's deck, the pilot also needs to contend with the turbulent wake produced by the air flow over the ship's superstructure.
