TL;DR: In this paper, a new vortex decay model for the prediction of the descent of aircraft trailing vortices subjected to realistic environmental conditions (stratie cation, turbulence, crosswind, headwind, shear effects, and ground effect ) is presented, and the model is applied to e eld data obtained with Lidar in Memphis and Dallas-Fort Worth airports.
Abstract: A new vortex decay model for the prediction of the descent of aircraft trailing vortices subjected to realistic environmental conditions (stratie cation, turbulence, crosswind, headwind, shear effects, and ground effect ) is presented, and the model is applied to e eld data obtained with Lidar in Memphis and Dallas ‐Fort Worth airports. Although the model has not yet been fully optimized, the predictions and e eld data compare reasonably well. Some e ights, particularly in unstable environments, exhibit behavior unexplainable in terms of the assumed, measured, and/or indirectly calculated input parameters, for example, vortex separation, uncertainties in Lidar measurements, stratie cation, shear, gravity currents, head- and crosswinds, turbulent kinetic energy, and/or the eddy dissipation rate.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element-based coupled ship and fluid model is used to analyze the ship's structural and structural properties, and three-dimensional ship shock modeling and simulation has been performed and the predicted results were compared with ship shock test data.

10 Jun 2004TL;DR: The honeyfile system was tested by deploying it on a honeynet, where hackers' use of honeyfiles was observed, and it was found that honeyfiles can increase a network's internal security without adversely affecting normal operations.
Abstract: This paper introduces an intrusion-detection device named honeyfiles. Honeyfiles are bait files intended for hackers to access. The files reside on a file server, and the server sends an alarm when a honey file is accessed. For example, a honeyfile named "passwords.txt" would be enticing to most hackers. The file server's end-users create honeyfiles, and the end-users receive the honeyfile's alarms. Honeyfiles can increase a network's internal security without adversely affecting normal operations. The honeyfile system was tested by deploying it on a honeynet, where hackers' use of honeyfiles was observed. The use of honeynets to test a computer security device is also discussed. This form of testing is a useful way of finding the faulty and overlooked assumptions made by the device's developers.

TL;DR: A case study of a systems development organization employing a comprehensive view of traceability, a model describing the traceability practice in the organization, perceived benefits of such a scheme and lessons learnt from implementing it are presented.
Abstract: Many standards that mandate requirements traceability as well as current literature do not provide a comprehensive model of what information should be captured and used as a part of a traceability scheme. Therefore, the practices and usefulness of traceability vary considerably across systems development efforts, ranging from very simplistic practices just aimed at satisfying the mandates to very comprehensive traceability schemes used as an important tool for managing the systems development process. We present a case study of a systems development organization, employing a comprehensive view of traceability. A model describing the traceability practice in the organization, perceived benefits of such a scheme and lessons learnt from implementing it are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether measures of internal audit function (IAF) quality and the IAF's contribution to the financial statement audit affect audit delay, and find that audit delay is decreasing in IAF quality, and that this decrease is primarily driven by the competence of IAF and the quality of their fieldwork.
Abstract: This study investigates whether measures of internal audit function (IAF) quality and the IAF’s contribution to the financial statement audit affect audit delay. We conduct empirical tests using 292 observations from 216 firms that responded to the Institute of Internal Auditor’s Global Auditing Information Network survey. Results indicate that audit delay is decreasing in IAF quality, and that this decrease is primarily driven by the competence of the IAF and the quality of their fieldwork. Audit delay is also at least four days shorter when the IAF contributes to the external audit by independently performing relevant work, but not when IAF personnel directly assist the external auditor. We further examine factors that affect the external auditor’s decision to use IAF work. The likelihood that external auditors use independently performed IAF work is increasing in IAF quality, internal auditor availability, and audit committee effectiveness, and decreasing in external auditor availability. The likelihood that IAF personnel directly assist external auditors is decreasing in IAF quality and increasing in audit committee effectiveness.
