Mission Possible? Maintaining The Safety Net In Urban And Rural Colorado, Karen Matherlee

National Health Policy Forum

This site visit examined urban safety-net concerns in Denver and rural safety-net issues in three communities in the eastern part of Colorado. The Denver segment featured Denver Health, an integrated health system that provides a continuum of services to diverse vulnerable populations. It explored delivery and financing issues for the system itself and in relation to payers, providers, and consumers (particularly through Community Voices) in its catchment area. The eastern Colorado segment focused on delivery and financing issues in Rocky Ford (community health center/migrant health services concerns), Limon (certified rural health center topics), and Hugo (critical-access hospital matters). The visit …

Electric Field Autocorrelation Functions For Beginning Multiple Rayleigh Scattering, James A. Lock

Physics Faculty Publications

The polarization-resolved electric field autocorrelation function for p-order scattering was derived from the order-of-scattering solution of the exact equations for electromagnetic multiple Rayleigh scattering and was calculated for 2 less than or equal to p less than or equal to 6 for particles undergoing diffusive motion in an idealized sample cell. It was found that the polarization-channel and the scattering-angle dependence of the p-order autocorrelation function approximately decoupled from the delay-time dependence for p greater than or similar to 3. The polarization-channel and the scattering-angle dependence were analytically calculated, and the delay-time dependence was analytically approximated. The resulting analytical model …

Measurement Of The Cosmic-Ray Energy Spectrum And Composition From 1017 To 1018.3 Ev Using A Hybrid Technique, T. Abu-Zayyad, K. Belov, D. J. Bird, J. Boyer, Z. Cao, M. Catanese, G. F. Chen, R. W.

We study the spectrum and average mass composition of cosmic rays with primary energies between 1017 and 1018 eV using a hybrid detector consisting of the High Resolution Fly's Eye (HiRes) prototype and the Michigan Muon Array (MIA). Measurements have been made of the change in the depth of shower maximum as a function of energy. A complete Monte Carlo simulation of the detector response and comparisons with shower simulations leads to the conclusion that the cosmic-ray intensity is changing from a heavier to a lighter composition in this energy range. The spectrum is consistent with earlier Fly's Eye measurements …

Data Conditioning For Gravitational Wave Detectors: A Kalman Filter For Regressing Suspension Violin Modes, L. S. Finn, S. Mukherjee

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Interferometric gravitational wave detectors operate by sensing the differential light travel time between free test masses. Correspondingly, they are sensitive to anything that changes the physical distance between the test masses, including physical motion of the masses themselves. In ground-based detectors the test masses are suspended as pendula, in order that they be approximately \"free\" above the pendulumn frequency. Still, thermal or other excitations of the suspension wires' violin modes do impart a force on the masses that appears as a strong, albeit narrow-band, \"signal\" in the detectors waveband. Gravitational waves, on the other hand, change the distance between the …

James Church Mccook And American Consular Diplomacy In The Klondike, 1898-1901, David Eric Jessup

Arctic and Northern Studies

The Klondike Gold Rush saw tens of thousands of Americans pour into the Canadian Yukon. Although the unprecedented event was of marginal diplomatic significance to Washington, the United States government responded by establishing an official American presence in the Klondike boomtown of Dawson City. Congress provided for a United States consulate in Dawson in January of 1898, and the following summer, James Church McCook arrived to serve as the first consul. McCook served for three and a half years as the only U.S. government official in what was essentially an American town on Canadian soil. A retired confectionary manufacturer from …

Delineating Drawdown Lakes And Salix Alaxensis In Interior Alaska Using Landsat Tm And Multitemporal Sar Imagery, Julieanne L. Fogde

Natural Resources

This study evaluates the effectiveness of multitemporal Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data and Landsat ETM+ imagery to delineate: 1) The locations of drawdown lakes within the Iditarod River drainage. 2) The locations of Salix alaxensis along the Innoko River. Both elements are related in that they constitute critical wildlife habitat, and their occurrence is largely due to seasonal flooding. Multitemporal, georeferenced Radarsat SAR imagery was used to classify lakes as either drawdown or non-drawdown. This technique yielded an overall classification accuracy of 78%, proving that multitemporal, georeferenced SAR is a good tool for delineating drawdown lakes. Landsat ETM+ imagery was …

The Interaction Of Io And The Jovian Magnetic Field: Io's Alfven Wings And Particle Acceleration, Vincent Dols

Physics

Conditions for the formation of an electric field along the field lines of Jupiter crossing the satellite Io are investigated by examining the properties of Io's Alfven wave. A three-dimensional self-consistent MHD model, using a simplified magnetosphere description, illustrates the formation of this electric field and of Io's related auroral emission in the Jovian ionosphere. The Alfven wing properties between Io and Jupiter are studied with a one-dimensional MHD model and a realistic magnetosphere. Any change in the Io/Jupiter system affects the structure of the Alfven wing and likely affects the structure of Io's auroral emissions. This emission is likely …

Development Of A Fe Boltzmann Temperature Lidar, Justin Breese

Chemistry and Biochemistry

An iron Boltzmann temperature lidar allows the measurement of temperatures and iron densities in the mesopause region (8̃0-100 km). This thesis describes the initial development of a new Boltzmann temperature lidar at Poker Flat Research Range. An excimer-pumped dye laser system was installed in April 1999. During 1999 and 2000 this system was calibrated against the resident sodium system. Observations of iron were made in the winter of 2000 and spring 2001. Temperature measurements were made in December of 2000. The thesis presents an operational analysis of the lidar system performance and a scientific analysis of the data obtained. the …

Radiative Transfer Modeling In The Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean System And Its Application To The Remote Sensing Of Ocean Color Imagery, Banghua Yan

Physics

Ocean color is the radiance emanating from the ocean due to scattering by chlorophyll pigments and particles of organic and inorganic origin. Thus, it contains information about chlorophyll concentrations which can be used to estimate primary productivity. Observations of ocean color from space can be used to monitor the variability in marine primary productivity, thereby permitting a quantum leap in our understanding of oceanographic processes from regional to global scales. Satellite remote sensing of ocean color requires accurate removal of the contribution by atmospheric molecules and aerosols to the radiance measured at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). This removal …
