Point Extraction And Matching For Registration Of Infrared Astronomical Images, Adith Chandrasekhar

Theses

In this thesis, we deal with digital image sequences produced by an infrared detector array. The image sequences are characterized by large variations in noise and gray level statistics from one frame to the next. Moreover, owing to a number of defective pixels in the detector array, the frames are deliberately shifted from each other to improve the statistical properties of the signal and minimize noise. This and the inherent pointing uncertainty of the instrument result in random errors in frame positioning larger than a few pixels. This thesis discusses two point-feature based techniques to register such frames. Image registration, …

Technology And The 21st Century Battlefield: Recomplicating Moral Life For The Statesman And The Soldier, Charles J. Dunlap Colonel

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author starts from the traditional American notion that technology might offer a way to decrease the horror and suffering of warfare. He points out that historically this assumption is flawed in that past technological advances, from gunpowder weapons to bombers, have only made warfare more--not less--bloody. With a relentless logic, Colonel Dunlap takes to task those who say that the Revolution in Military Affairs has the potential to make war less bloody. He covers the technological landscape from precision-guided munitions and Information Warfare to the use of space for military operations to raise issues that could pose difficult ethical, …

Warriors In Peace Operations, Douglas V. Johnson Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

This collection of monographs has been assembled from the 42 Personal Experience Monographs written by the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) Class of 1998. The Personal Experience Monograph program was instituted immediately after the Gulf War with the original purpose of capturing first-person histories of various aspects of that war. The program rapidly expanded to include any military experience that might prove useful to others. When the USAWC Class of 1998 arrived, it was evident that a great many had recent experience in Bosnia that might prove useful to others who would eventually serve there. The collection assembled here was …

Virulence Of Metarhizium Anisopliae (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) Strain Esc-1 To The German Cockroach (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) And Its Compatibility With Insecticides, Pari Pachamuthu, Shripat T. Kamble, Gary Y. Yuen

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Virulence of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin strain ESC-1 against the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), was determined using 5 concentrations ranging from 83107 to 23109 spores per milliliter. The calculated LD50 value was 4.18 by 108 spores per milliliter (4.18 3 105 spores per cockroach). In vitro study was conducted to determine the compatibility of M. anisopliae strain ESC-1 with chlorpyrifos, propetamphos, and cyfluthrin. Insecticides did not affect conidial germination but did adversely affect the growth and sporulation of M. anisopliae strain ESC-1. The growth of M. anisopliae colonies on media amended only with 50 and 500 ppm of chlorpyrifos …

Aulacaspis Yasumatsui (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Diaspididae), A Scale Insect Pest Of Cycads Recently Introduced Into Florida, Forrest W. Howard, Avas Hamon, Michael Mclaughlin, Thomas J. Weissling, Si-Lin Yang

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Observations were conducted in southern Florida on Aulacaspis yasumatsui Takagi (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Diaspididae), a recently introduced armored scale insect native to Southeast Asia. The insect’s host plants, exclusively cycads, were identified in the following genera: Cycas (Cycadaceae ); Dioon, Encephalartos, Microcycas, (Zamiaceae), and Stangeria (Stangeriaceae). Cycas spp. seemed to be preferred over other cycad genera by this insect. Aulacaspis yasumatsui infested pinnae, rachides, strobili, stems, and roots of various species of cycads. It generally infested all above-ground plant parts of Cycas spp. and sometimes the primary and secondary roots to a soil depth of 60 cm. No morphological differences in …

The Times, They Are A Changing: A Review Of Raising Children In A Socially Toxic Environment, Susan M. Sheridan, Richard J. Cowan, Tanya Meegan

Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications

Rarely does a book come along that we believe to be essential reading for all psychologists, educators, child care workers, physicians, clergy, and concerned community members. Garbarino’s Raising Children in a Socially Toxic Environment is one such book. In this book, Garbarino sets out to offer his views on what childhood ought to be, how children map their own worlds (thus define, themselves), what their basic needs are, the levels in which those needs are being met, as well as offer suggestions for ways in which readers can change the “toxic environment” to aid in the healthy development of children …

A Review Of Issues Pertaining To Transgenic Turfgrasses, Paul G. Johnson, Terrance P. Riordan

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Recombinant DNA technology is a rapidly growing field in plant and animal breeding. This technology involves the transfer of pieces of DNA, or genes, regardless of the organisms involved or how they are related. Transformation procedures in plants were first developed for important crop and model plant systems. Although turfgrass management and production is one of the fastest growing areas of agriculture, genetic transformation of turfgrasses lags behind that of many other important crop plants. Turfgrasses are becoming more important primarily because of their association with the ever-increasing urban population. The size of the turfgrass seed market is second only …

Transgenic Mammals Expressing Human Coagulation Factor Viii, Henryk Lubon, William N. Drohan, William H. Velander

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Faculty Publications

A non-human transgenic mammalian animal, as described above, contains an exogenous double Stranded DNA Sequence Stably integrated into the genome of the animal, which comprises cis-acting regulatory units operably linked to a DNA sequence encoding human Factor VIII protein and a signal peptide, where the cis-acting regulatory units are active in mammary gland cells and the Signal peptide is active in directing newly expressed Factor VIII into the milk of the animal. The promoter may be a milk protein promoter Such as for whey acidic protein, casein, lactalbumin, or beta-lactoglobulin promoter. The transgenic mammals are preferably farm animals, for example, …

Seepage Characteristics And Hydraulic Properties Of A Feedlot Runoff Storage Pond, David B. Parker, Dean E. Eisenhauer, Dennis D. Schulte, John A. Nienaber

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Water and chemical transport were investigated beneath a 22-year-old beef feedlot runoff storage pond. Soil and sludge samples were collected from 14 borings to 6.1-m depths in a cross-section across the pond. The soils consisted of silt loam and clay loam, and the groundwater level was about 30 m beneath the land surface. Soil samples were analyzed for pH, NO₃-N, NH₄-N, Cl, P, K, SO₄-S, TKN, and organic matter. Physical and hydraulic properties were measured on undisturbed samples of soil and sludge to compare saturated hydraulic conductivity, moisture release characteristics, and bulk density. Saturated …

Early And Late Endosomal Compartments Of Entamoeba Histolytica Are Enriched In Cysteine Proteases, Acid Phosphatase And Several Ras-Related Rab Gtpases, Lesly A. Temesvari, Ed Harris, Samuel L. Stanley Jr., James Cardelli

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Pure populations of early and late endosomes of Entamoeba histolytica were isolated by magnetic fractionation and characterized. It was shown that these vesicles were enriched in acid phosphatase and cysteine protease activities. An important virulence factor, a 27-kDa cysteine protease, was also enriched in early and late endosomes of E. histolytica. These data suggest that E. histolytica hydrolases reside in compartments that are part of or communicate with the endosomal pathway. To begin to identify the role of Rab GTPases in E. histolytica, an oligonucleotide approach was employed to screen an E. histolytica cDNA library for genes encoding …

Bacterial Growth State Distinguished By Single-Cell Protein Profiling: Does Chlorination Kill Coliforms In Municipal Effluent?, David Rockabrand, Teresa Austin, Robyn Kaiser, Paul H. Blum

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Municipal effluent is the largest reservoir of human enteric bacteria. Its public health significance, however,

depends upon the physiological status of the wastewater bacterial community. A novel immunofluorescence

assay was developed and used to examine the bacterial growth state during wastewater disinfection. Quantitative

levels of three highly conserved cytosolic proteins (DnaK, Dps, and Fis) were determined by using

enterobacterium-specific antibody fluorochrome-coupled probes. Enterobacterial Fis homologs were abundant

in growing cells and nearly undetectable in stationary-phase cells. In contrast, enterobacterial Dps homologs

were abundant in stationary-phase cells but virtually undetectable in growing cells. The range of variation in

the abundance of …

Aerodrome Bird Hazard Prevention: Case Study At John F. Kennedy International Airport, Richard A. Dolbeer

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The collision of birds with aircraft is a serious problem at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFKIA), New York. Gulls (Larus spp.) accounted for 86% of bird strikes (an aircraft striking >1 bird) from 1988-1990, averaging 260 strikes/year. Laughing Gulls (L. atricilla) are present from May- September in association with a protected nesting colony in Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge adjacent to the airport. The colony increased from 15 nests in 1979 to 7,629 nests in 1990. During the 1970s and 1980s, JFKIA implemented various management activities to reduce gull strikes, including maintenance of tall grass, improved sanitation, drainage of …

Finite Element Analysis Solution Applications To Photoreceptor Modules, Robert Hildebrand

Theses

One of the primary components in a Xerox copier is the print engine. The center of this engine is comprised of a photoreceptor, which is a roller/belt module mounted to a frame. The belt revolves around the module acquiring and transposing toner to sheets of paper as they come into contact with the module. The initial design of these modules can often lead to registration and print quality problems later in the assembly and application phases of design. The current analysis procedure includes lengthy commercial FEA packages that require high designer investment. For this reason, many new ideas are never …
