Polar Sea-Ice Extent Detection Using Ku-Band Scatterometer Data, Quinn P. Remund Jun 1998

Polar Sea-Ice Extent Detection Using Ku-Band Scatterometer Data, Quinn P. Remund

Utah Space Grant Consortium

Polar sea ice plays an important role in the global climate. Although spaceborne scatterometers such as NSCAT have low inherent spatial resolution, resolution enhancement techniques can be used to increase the utility of NSCAT data in monitoring sea ice extent in the polar regions. Dual polarization radar measurement parameters, A and B, are used to identify sea ice and ocean pixels in composite images where A is CT0 normalized to 40° and B is the incidence angle dependence of CT0 • The A polarization ratio (AV / AH), vertical polarization B values, and CT0 estimate error variance of the vertically …

Field-Wise Wind Retrieal For The Nasa Scatterometer, Charles G. Brown Jun 1998

Field-Wise Wind Retrieal For The Nasa Scatterometer, Charles G. Brown

Utah Space Grant Consortium

Traditional satellite scatterometer wind retrieval algorithms consist of point-wise wind estimation and point-wise ambiguity removal. Pointwise estimation yields multiple estimates, or ambiguities, for the near-surface ocean wind in each scatterometer resolution element, requiring subsequent ambiguity removal. Even though some point-wise ambiguity removal techniques achieve a high skill, they are still subject to error and usually rely on numerical model analysis fields. An alternative to point-wise wind retrieval, one that does not rely on numerical model analysis fields, is field-wise or model-based retrieval. This paper presents an automated field-wise retrieval algorithm. The algorithm is tested on data obtained from the NASA …

Multiple Media Correlation: Theory And Applications, Charles B. Owen Jun 1998

Multiple Media Correlation: Theory And Applications, Charles B. Owen

Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations

This thesis introduces multiple media correlation, a new technology for the automatic alignment of multiple media objects such as text, audio, and video. This research began with the question: what can be learned when multiple multimedia components are analyzed simultaneously? Most ongoing research in computational multimedia has focused on queries, indexing, and retrieval within a single media type. Video is compressed and searched independently of audio, text is indexed without regard to temporal relationships it may have to other media data. Multiple media correlation provides a framework for locating and exploiting correlations between multiple, potentially heterogeneous, media streams. The goal …

Crisis Intervention And The State Comprehensive Mental Health Service Plan Act Of 1986 (P.L. 99-660): An Historical Analysis, Thomas J. Barron Jun 1998

Crisis Intervention And The State Comprehensive Mental Health Service Plan Act Of 1986 (P.L. 99-660): An Historical Analysis, Thomas J. Barron

Theses and Graduate Projects

Despite numerous contributions by theorists and crisis service providers in the field of crisis intervention, few reports have examined underlying legislation. This study reviews policy trends in past mental health legislation and crisis programs between 1840 to 1996. It focuses on the State Comprehensive Mental Health Plan Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-660) and describes the response to such legislation in Minnesota. An incremental policy process illustrates how crisis intervention services have evolved to be part of the array of comprehensive mental health services.

Representations, Approximations, And Algorithms For Mathematical Speech Processing, Laura R. Suzuki Jun 1998

Representations, Approximations, And Algorithms For Mathematical Speech Processing, Laura R. Suzuki

Theses and Dissertations

Representing speech signals such that specific characteristics of speech are included is essential in many Air Force and DoD signal processing applications. A mathematical construct called a frame is presented which captures the important time-varying characteristic of speech. Roughly speaking, frames generalize the idea of an orthogonal basis in a Hilbert space, Specific spaces applicable to speech are L2(R) and the Hardy spaces Hp(D) for p> 1 where D is the unit disk in the complex plane. Results are given for representations in the Hardy spaces involving Carleson's inequalities (and its extensions), …

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Interleukin (IL)-1 is a proinflammatory cytokine with pleiotropic effects in inflammation. IL-1 binding to its receptor triggers a cascade of signaling events, including activation of the stress-activated mitogen- activated protein (MAP) kinases, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP kinase, as well as transcription factor nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). IL-1 signaling results in cellular responses through induction of inflammatory gene products such as IL-6. One of the earliest events in IL-1 signaling is the rapid interaction of IL-1 receptor-associated kinases, IRAK and IRAK-2, with the receptor complex. The relative roles of IRAK and IRAK-2 in IL-1 signaling pathways and subsequent …

Reactions Of Oxygen Atoms With Van Der Waals Complexes: The Effect Of Complex Formation On The Internal Energy Distribution In The Products, A B. Mccoy, Michael W. Lufaso, M Veneziani, S Atrill, R Naaman Jun 1998

Reactions Of Oxygen Atoms With Van Der Waals Complexes: The Effect Of Complex Formation On The Internal Energy Distribution In The Products, A B. Mccoy, Michael W. Lufaso, M Veneziani, S Atrill, R Naaman

Chemistry Faculty Research and Scholarship

Reactions of atomic oxygen with complexes containing HCl are investigated and the OH product state distributions are compared to those observed for the corresponding reactions of HCl monomers. In previous studies of reactions of O(3P) with HCl and hydrocarbon complexes, rotationally colder OH product state distributions were observed, when compared to the corresponding reactions of monomers. In contrast, we find that reactions of O(1D) with HCl clusters yield OH rotational distributions that are unaffected by the incorporation of HCl into a van der Waals complex. Quasiclassical trajectories are run on collisions of oxygen with HCl and Ar⋯HCl at 1 eV …

The Influence Of Enhanced Surface Magnetism On Finite-Size Scaling, C. Waldfried, T. Mcavoy, D. Welipitiya, Peter A. Dowben, Elio Vescovo

Peter Dowben Publications

The thickness-dependent spin-polarized electronic structure of strained ultrathin and thin films of Gd has been investigated. The surface magnetic structure dominates the magnetic ordering of the ultrathin Gd films. With decreasing thickness some bulk bands exhibit increasingly more "passive" magnetic behavior. These bulk bands resemble a paramagnet over an increasing volume of the bulk Brillouin zone with decreasing film thickness.

Solute-Solvent Pair Distribution Functions In Highly Asymmetric Additive Hard Sphere Mixtures, Douglas Henderson, Kwong-Yu Chan Jun 1998

Solute-Solvent Pair Distribution Functions In Highly Asymmetric Additive Hard Sphere Mixtures, Douglas Henderson, Kwong-Yu Chan

Faculty Publications

Contact values for the solute-solvent pair distribution function in an additive hard sphere mixture, as computed from the Henderson-Chan (HC) formulas, are compared with the recent Monte Carlo (MC) data and formula of Matyushov and Ladanyi (ML) [J. Chem. Phys. 107, 5815 (1997)]. The agreement is found to be excellent. The negative finding of ML is due to a misprint in one of the HC publications. We find the HC formula to be superior to the ML formula when compared to our MC data [Mol. Phys. 91, 1137 (1997)] for the case where the ratio of diameters is large and …

Absolute Triply Differential (E, 2e) Cross Sections For He In The Intermediate Energy Region With Comparison To Theory, J. Röder, H. Ehrhardt, Cheng Pan, Anthony F. Starace, Igor Bray, Dmitry V. Fursa Jun 1998

Absolute Triply Differential (E, 2e) Cross Sections For He In The Intermediate Energy Region With Comparison To Theory, J. Röder, H. Ehrhardt, Cheng Pan, Anthony F. Starace, Igor Bray, Dmitry V. Fursa

Anthony F. Starace Publications

Absolute triply differential (e, 2e) cross section measurements are presented for He at incident energies E0 = 32.6, 44.6, 64.6, and 104.6 eV with equal energy sharing and the θ12 = π configuration. Results of distorted partial-wave calculations agree with the measurements; those of convergent close-coupling calculations agree with the relative angular distributions, and with absolute values after rescaling by consideration of the singly differential cross section.

H2 Formation On Interstellar Grains In Different Physical Regimes, Gianfranco Vidali, Ofer Biham, Itay Furman, N. Katz, Valerio Pirronello Jun 1998

H2 Formation On Interstellar Grains In Different Physical Regimes, Gianfranco Vidali, Ofer Biham, Itay Furman, N. Katz, Valerio Pirronello

Physics - All Scholarship

An analysis of the kinetics of H2 formation on interstellar dust grains is presented using rate equations. It is shown that semi-empirical expressions that appeared in the literature represent two different physical regimes. In particular, it is shown that the expression given by Hollenbach, Werner and Salpeter [ApJ, 163, 165 (1971)] applies when high flux, or high mobility, of H atoms on the surface of a grain, makes it very unlikely that H atoms evaporate before they meet each other and recombine. The expression of Pirronello et al.\ [ApJ, 483, L131 (1997)] -- deduced on the basis of accurate measurements …

Pion-Pion Scattering In Two Dimensions, Joseph Schechter, D. Delphenich, S. Vaidya Jun 1998

Pion-Pion Scattering In Two Dimensions, Joseph Schechter, D. Delphenich, S. Vaidya

Physics - All Scholarship

Massive two-flavor QED_2 is known to have many similarities to the two-flavor QCD_4. Here we compare the \pi-\pi scattering amplitudes (actually an analog process in QED_2) of the two theories. The QED_2 amplitude is computed from the bosonized version of the model while the QCD_4 amplitude is computed from an effective low energy chiral Lagrangian. A number of interesting features are noted. For example, the contribution of the two-dimensional Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term in QED_2 is structurally identical to the vector meson exchange contribution in QCD_4. Also it is shown that the QED_2 amplitude computed at tree level is a reasonable …
