Item Open Access COMBAT SIMULATION - TWO SIDES.xls(Cranfield University, 2016-05-25 09:51) Boutselis, Petros; Ringrose, TrevorThe data are the outputs of the simulation of a closed-loop, two-sides (Blue vs Red) combat model saved in an Excel spreadsheet. The 1st tab has the input data while the other two tabs have the outputs for the Blue and for the Red. Each column in the Input tab is a design point randomly selected (250 in total). The first two rows represent the number of tanks and recce of the Blue, while rows 3 and 4 represent the respective Red. The 5th row represents the probability of shock that has been applied the same to both sides. Rows 6, 7 and 8 represent the percentage Unit participation of Tanks, Machine Guns and Anti-tanks respectively. These last three variables also apply equally to both Blue and Red. The model used (SIMBAT) is stochastic and therefore each design point was run 40 times, taking care to use the same random numbers for each point (Common Random Numbers) Therefore each of the 250 columns in the two output tabs has 40 rows. The data have been used in: P. Boutselis, Trevor J. Ringrose GAMLSS and neural networks in combat simulation metamodelling: A case study. Expert Syst. Appl. 40(15): 6087-6093 (2013), doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2013.05.023 to produce two different metamodels: a statistical model (GAMLSS) and a neural network (ANN), while recently the same data have been used to produce a Bayesian Network.Item Open Access Data for the article “Localized tissue mineralization regulated by bone remodelling: a computational approach”(Cranfield University, 2017-05-19 11:52) Zioupos, Peter; José Manuel García Aznar, Professor; Oscar Decco, Professor; Marcelo Berli, Dr; Carlos Borau, Dr; Adams, George; Richard Cook, DrData for the PLOS ONE article: “Localized tissue mineralization regulated by bone remodelling: a computational approach”Item Open Access Data for PONE-D-16-41391 'Age at death' method by Bonicelli et al 2017(Cranfield University, 2017-05-22 08:31) Zioupos, Peter; Bonicelli, Andrea; Elena Kranioti, DrData underpinning the article in PLOS ONE: "Rib biomechanical properties exhibit diagnostic potential for accurate ageing in forensic investigations" by: Andrea Bonicelli 1,2 , Bledar Xhemali 3 , Elena F.

The Maslow Hierarchy has been applied to a generic situation conflict by examining the levels and assessing the impact of military and other actions on the elements of this hierarchy. This is basically the format of the matrix. The left hand axis is the Maslow hierarchy - each layer of which is weighted. The columns are the list of actions in the campaign. the entries are then refer each action to each Maslow line. The matrix is a first draft and the intent is to determine the utility of this in modelling campaigns and in terms of the consistency of the scores and weightings. The idea is then to produce a quantified interconnected model which allows a change in one input to affect a specific element of the Maslow hierarchy and then an outcome in terms of a positive or negative effect on ‘perception’ is generated. There is then a linkage to the use of the Cranfield RCAT wargame which uses these types of information.Item Open Access Simulation of transportation of 2,4-dinitroanilisole (DNAN); 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO); and nitro-guanidine (NQ) through soil using Hydrus 1D(Cranfield University, 2017-12-11 14:52) Galante, Erick; Mai, Nathalie; Ladyman, Melissa; Gill, Philip; Temple, TraceyContinuous training on military ranges with ammunition filled with TNT-based compositions has caused environmental contamination over decades. These ranges may now require remediation for range sustainability, which is expensive, time-consuming, and can compromise use. Due to increased environmental awareness society expects a preemptive approach for on-going management of military training ranges to minimize damage to the environment. Regarding TNT-based compositions it is possible to estimate likely contamination issues from historical data. However, TNT-based compositions are being replaced by new formulations designed to be less sensitive to accidental insult. A very promising alternative to TNT is 2,4-dinitroanilisole (DNAN), a melt-castable energetic material that has been successfully used as binding agent in some insensitive high explosive (IHE) formulation. For example, when combined with 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) and nitro-guanidine (NQ) in IMX-101. However, from an environmental point of view, the lack of historical data on how these materials impact the environmental might compromise training capability and disposal procedures in years to come. To contribute to this area of knowledge, we simulated the dispersion of chemicals through soil using Hydrus-1D, which is a modelling tool for analysis of water flow and solute transport. Primary data was generated by soil column experiments that were artificially spiked with Insensitive High Explosives materials DNAN; NTO; and NQ. The primary aim of the research was to determine whether Hydrus-1D, can be used to predict environmental contamination on military training ranges.Item Open Access Bayesian Network Probability tables for Thumbnail Cache Identification(Cranfield University, 2018-03-07 09:46) Morris, SarahBayesian Network and Probability tables for Identatron.
