THE ALLIES FOUND HEAVY GERMAN RESISTANCE 40 MILES SOUTH OF NAPLES -- Salerno. 330 8 $aFROM our entry into the war at Pearl Harbor in December 1941 until the Japanese surrender in September 1945, every major offensive campaign launched by the United States was initiated by an amphibious assault. Our landings at North Africa in November 1942, at Sicily and Italy in July and September 1943, and at Normandy and Southern France in June and September 1944 ended in the defeat of the German armies in Western Europe by the Allied Expeditionary Force in May 1945. The Pacific offensive, which began in the South Pacific with the landings at the Solomons in August 1942 and in the Central Pacific at the Gilberts in November 1943, carried us 3,000 miles to the Philippine Islands and 5,000 miles through to the inner defenses of the empire in the Volcano and Ryukyu Islands....Amphibious warfare was the primary offensive tactic in our conduct of global war.The tactics and techniques of our landing operations represent a new and significant development in the art of war. Although military history contains many instances of landing operations conducted by both military and navy forces in all parts of the world, from the early time man first crossed the sea to wage war, the landings were generally either limited in scope and purpose or unopposed. The feasibility of amphibious raids, in which assault forces landed from the sea are withdrawn after limited operations, and of unopposed landings, relying on surprise and conducted for the purpose of subsequent military operations ashore, has long been recognized. Until the recent war, however, the effect of modern defensive weapons was considered too decisive to permit successful assault from the sea. The development of radar, aviation, coast defense guns, torpedoes, submarines, mines, defensive obstructions and obstacles, automatic weapons, highly mobile reserves, and the necessary communication facilities to coordinate and control them seemed to present insurmountable difficulties to amphibious attack. 606 $aLanding operations$xHistory 606 $aAmphibious warfare$xHistory 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAmphibious operations 615 0$aLanding operations$xHistory. 615 0$aAmphibious warfare$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAmphibious operations. 676 $a355.4/6/09 700 $aSmith$b Holland M$g(Holland McTyeire),$f1882-1967,$01828810 702 $aSimmons$b Edwin H. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158765903321 996 $aThe development of amphibious tactics in the U.S. Navy$94397797 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04720nam 22006855 450 001 9910136019303321 005 20200630020439.0 010 $a3-319-41644-8 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-41644-1 035 $a(CKB)3710000000909084 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-41644-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4720729 035 $a(PPN)196325617 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000909084 100 $a20161018d2016 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBayesian Inference $eData Evaluation and Decisions /$fby Hanns Ludwig Harney 205 $a2nd ed. 2016. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (XIII, 243 p. 39 illus., 3 illus. in color.) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a3-319-41642-1 327 $aKnowledge an Logic -- Bayes' Theorem -- Probable and Improbable Data -- Descriptions of Distributions I: Real x -- Description of Distributions II: Natural x -- Form Invariance I -- Examples of Invariant Measures -- A Linear Representation of Form Invariance -- Going Beyond Form Invariance: The Geometric Prior -- Inferring the Mean or Standard Deviation -- Form Invariance II: Natural x -- Item Response Theory -- On the Art of Fitting -- Problems and Solutions -- Description of Distributions I -- Real x -- Form Invariance I -- Beyond Form Invariance: The Geometric Prior -- Inferring Mean or Standard Deviation -- Form Invariance II: Natural x -- Item Response Theory -- On the Art of Fitting. . 330 $aThis new edition offers a comprehensive introduction to the analysis of data using Bayes rule. It generalizes Gaussian error intervals to situations in which the data follow distributions other than Gaussian. This is particularly useful when the observed parameter is barely above the background or the histogram of multiparametric data contains many empty bins, so that the determination of the validity of a theory cannot be based on the chi-squared-criterion. In addition to the solutions of practical problems, this approach provides an epistemic insight: the logic of quantum mechanics is obtained as the logic of unbiased inference from counting data. New sections feature factorizing parameters, commuting parameters, observables in quantum mechanics, the art of fitting with coherent and with incoherent alternatives and fitting with multinomial distribution. Additional problems and examples help deepen the knowledge. Requiring no knowledge of quantum mechanics, the book is written on introductory level, with many examples and exercises, for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the physical sciences, planning to, or working in, fields such as medical physics, nuclear physics, quantum mechanics, and chaos. 606 $aPhysics 606 $aStatistics 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aMedical physics 606 $aRadiation 606 $aComputer science$xMathematics 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013 606 $aStatistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17020 606 $aParticle and Nuclear Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aMedical and Radiation Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27060 606 $aComputational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1400X 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aMedical physics. 615 0$aRadiation. 615 0$aComputer science$xMathematics. 615 14$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 615 24$aStatistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences. 615 24$aParticle and Nuclear Physics. 615 24$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aMedical and Radiation Physics. 615 24$aComputational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis. 676 $a530.15 700 $aHarney$b Hanns Ludwig$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$047556 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136019303321 996 $aBayesian inference$9671725 997 $aUNINA
