Smart Policing: Addressing the Twenty-First Century Need for a New Paradigm in Policing
January 9, 2012

This paper discusses the critical need for a new paradigm in policing: one that incorporates aspects of existing policing concepts in a manner that recognizes the significant changes in the twenty-first century criminal environment, the economic and social realities facing law enforcement entities, and the availability of potentially powerful technology-driven, crime-fighting tools.

The Fifth Annual Navy Workforce Research and Analysis Conference: Building on the Pillars of the Navy's Human Capital Strategy
August 1, 2005
At last year’s Navy Workforce Research and Analysis Conference, The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) announced that he would focus his efforts on developing a new human capital strategy for the Navy. In the subsequent year, much progress has been made towards this goal. This paper links presentations made at the Fifth Annual Navy Workforce Research and Analysis Conference to the five pillars and objectives of the Navy’s evolving human capital strategy: Alignment to the Total Force, Competency focused, Professional and personal growth, Performance culture and Agile organizations.

The Fourth Annual Navy Workforce Research and Analysis Conference: Laying the Foundation for the Navy's Human Resource Strategy
June 1, 2004

The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) recently announced that he hopes to make development of a new Navy human resource strategy the CNO project for the coming year. But developing such a strategy requires a clear and comprehensive understanding of the key factors that will serve as its foundation. This paper links presentations made at the Fourth Annual Navy Workforce Research and Analysis Conference to six key factors (people, work processes, managerial structure, information and knowledge, decision-making, and rewards) on which a human resource strategy must be built.

Can Authoritative Studies Be Trusted?
July 1, 1982
This paper provides an example of why authoritative studies can not always be trusted. Strat-X, published in 1967, was used as an illustration of the author's theory.

POSSIBLE THREE-DIMENSIONAL BACKBONE FOLDING AROUND ANTIBODY COMBINING SITE OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN MOPC 167
May 1, 1982
Using a recently developed method of predicting possible three dimensional foldings of immunoglobulin backbones around antibody combining sites, we have attempted to construct the structure of immunoglobulin MOPC 167 which could bind phosphorylcholine.

A PREDICTIVE METHOD FOR DETERMINING POSSIBLE THREE-DIMENSIONAL FOLDINGS OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN BACKBONES AROUND ANTIBODY COMBINING SITES
June 1, 1981
In this study, a detailed account is given to show how a short peptide segment can be fitted onto an existing protein framework. The backbone structures of the six complementarity determining regions of immunoglobulin MOPC-315 are analyzed.

FRANCK-CONDON THEORY OF CHEMICAL DYNAMICS. VI. ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS OF REACTION PRODUCTS
February 1, 1981
The Franck-Condon model and additional approximations are applied in this paper to determine product angular distributions of the type A + BC -> AB + C. The interest is in the relation of the anular distribution to certain features of the potential energy surface, the possibility of finding reduced variables, that is, scaling factors, with which to compare chemical reactions and the issue of the independence of angular from energy distributions of reaction products.

TEMPERATURE AND CURRENT DEPENDENCE OF DEGRADATION IN RED-EMITTING GAP LEDS
February 1, 1981

Experimental studies have been performed on several aspects of the degradation of electroluminescent quantum efficiency in Zn,0-doped GaP light emitting diodes. The dependence of degradation on stress temperature, stress current (experienced during accelerated aging) and measurement current (at which quantum efficiency is evaluated) has been empirically determined from experiments on several lots of devices. It is shown that degradation is dominated by a decrease in bulk p-side radiative recombination efficiency. The degradation of other factors (such as injection efficiency and injection ratio) contributing to the overall electroluminescent efficiency has only a secondary effect. Moreover, it is shown empirically that the dependences of degradation on temperature and stress current are separable.
