A Case Study Of Soil Erosion Detection By Digital Analysis Of The Remotely Sensed Multispectral Landsat Scanner Data Of A Semi-Arid Land In Southern India, V. Guruswamy, Steve J. Kristof, Marion Baumgardner Jan 1980

A Case Study Of Soil Erosion Detection By Digital Analysis Of The Remotely Sensed Multispectral Landsat Scanner Data Of A Semi-Arid Land In Southern India, V. Guruswamy, Steve J. Kristof, Marion Baumgardner

LARS Technical Reports

Soil forms one of the vital natural resources in that it is useful for agricultural and engineering purposes as the Chief plant supporting material for producing food and fibre and as construction material for raising buildings respectively. Soil erosion caused by the action of wind, water, ice and gravity over a terrain requires, therefore, prompt detection and implementation of proper preventive/remedial measures to conserve the soil resource. Soil inventory to assess its quantity and quality by the conventional field survey methods consumes considerable manpower with time and money and the remote sensing technology offers in this context, a powerful tool …


Application Of Multispectral Reflectance Studies Of Soils: Pre-Landsat, S. J. Kristof, M. R. Baumgardner, R. A. Weismiller, S. M. Davis Jan 1980

Application Of Multispectral Reflectance Studies Of Soils: Pre-Landsat, S. J. Kristof, M. R. Baumgardner, R. A. Weismiller, S. M. Davis

LARS Technical Reports

It was recognized in the 1960's that measuring the spectral, spatial and temporal variation of electromagnetic fields reflected and emitted from the Earth's surface had many potential applications in the field of agriculture. As a result, computer-implemented pattern recognition techniques were used to analyze multispectral data for the purpose of delineating soil differences. Spectral data were obtained (1) in the laboratory by scanning soil samples with a double-beam spectrophotometer (Beckman DK-2A) and (2) in the field by scanning large areas of soils with an airborne multispectral scanner.

The results obtained through this early research clearly illustrated relationships between the reflected …

Description Of A User-Oriented Geographic Information System: The Resource Analysis Program, Stephen E. Tilmann, Delbert L. Mokma Jan 1980

Description Of A User-Oriented Geographic Information System: The Resource Analysis Program, Stephen E. Tilmann, Delbert L. Mokma

LARS Symposia

This paper describes the Resource Analysis Program, an applied geographic information system. Several applications are presented which utilized soil, and other natural resource data, to develop integrated maps and data analyses. These applications demonstrate the methods of analysis and the philosophy of approach used in the mapping system.

The applications are evaluated in reference to four major needs of a functional mapping system: data capture, data libraries, data analysis, and mapping and data display. These four criteria are then used to describe an effort to develop the next generation of applied mapping systems. This approach uses inexpensive microcomputers for field …

Therapeutic Indices For Transchest Defibrillator Shocks: Effective, Damaging, And Lethal Electrical Doses, Charles F. Babbs, Willis A. Tacker, John F. Vanvleet, Joe D. Bourland, Leslie A. Geddes Jan 1980

Therapeutic Indices For Transchest Defibrillator Shocks: Effective, Damaging, And Lethal Electrical Doses, Charles F. Babbs, Willis A. Tacker, John F. Vanvleet, Joe D. Bourland, Leslie A. Geddes

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Although prospective studies of defibrillator shock overdose cannot be performed in man, the therapeutic indices of various defibrillating current waveforms can be measured in animals. We determined the ratios TD50/ED50 and LD50/ ED50 (where TD50 = median "toxic" or damageinducing dose, ED50 = median effective or defibrillating dose, and LD50 = median lethal dose) as measures of the therapeutic index for damped sine wave defibrillator shocks in dogs. Death of an animal and/or any degree of cardiac damage found by gross or microscopic examination were defined as harmful effects of shock, analogous to drug toxicity. In terms of peak current, …

Dynamic Intraesophageal Imaging Of The Heart With Ultrasound, N. E. Fearnot, Charles F. Babbs, J. D. Bourland, L. A. Geddes Jan 1980

Dynamic Intraesophageal Imaging Of The Heart With Ultrasound, N. E. Fearnot, Charles F. Babbs, J. D. Bourland, L. A. Geddes

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Real-time images of the heart from within the esophagus are produced by a new intraesophageal ultrasonic sector scanner. Sixty images per second are displayed on a gray scale CRT in real-time and recorded on standard videotape for review. By interactive positioning of the esophageal probe, heart ventricles, atria, and valves can be visualized and their dynamics can be studied. The esophageal probe comprises four 5 MHz PZT-5 piezoelements of 6.35 mm diameter, mounted on a shaft that rotates at 900 rpm. The piezoelements are pulsed at a 5 kHz rate and the echoes are processed electronically.


Dependence Of Defibrillation Threshold Upon Extracellular/Intracellular K+ Concentrations, Charles F. Babbs, S J. Whistler, G Yim, L A. Geddes Jan 1980

Dependence Of Defibrillation Threshold Upon Extracellular/Intracellular K+ Concentrations, Charles F. Babbs, S J. Whistler, G Yim, L A. Geddes

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

The effect of increasing extracellular potassium concentration (Ko) upon electrical ventricular defibrillation threshold was investigated in pentobarbital anesthetized dogs treated with intravenous potassium chloride. Defibrillation threshold fell during potassium intoxication. The percent decrease in defibrillation threshold was linearly related to the logarithm of Ko and to the potassium equilibrium potential, EK, calculated from measured extracellular and intracellular potassium concentrations of ventricular muscle. In dogs supported by left ventricular bypass in order to maintain the circulation during potassium intoxication, the values of Ko and EK required for spontaneous, K+ induced defibrillation (electrical defibrillation …

The Methodology Of Ciat's Land Resource Study Of Tropical America, Thomas T. Cochrane Jan 1980

The Methodology Of Ciat's Land Resource Study Of Tropical America, Thomas T. Cochrane

LARS Symposia

CIAT is carrying out an agricultural land resource evaluation of Tropical America to create a base for the effective development and transfer of germplasm oriented technology. The study started in mid-1977 and now covers 850 million ha. It reduces land information to a common base in terms of land systems defined as repetitive patterns of climate, landscape and soils. These are delineated directly onto satellite and side-looking radar imagery. Within land systems, soils are separately described in terms of the major landscape topographical facets.

Once the land resource information is summarized, it is recorded as a computerized data storage, retrieval …
