Entailment Mesh: A Wireless Brainstorming Tool Facilitated By A Server-Side Knowledge Engine, Joel Slayton

SWITCH

In this article, the author and founder of the CADRE Media Lab at San José State University, Joel Slayton, discusses the art project, "Entailment Mesh," by Gordon Pask and Paul Pangaro. Pask being an expert in the fields of cybernetics and psychology and Pangaro learned computer science and humanities while studying at MIT. The artwork utilizes a framework for a machine conversational and learning system called DoWhatDo developed by the artists at MIT. Slayton argues that the project can be considered both an art piece and a social software that blurs boundaries between structure and process. The concept of the …

An Economic Analysis Of Predator Removal Approaches For Protecting Marine Turtle Nests At Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, Richard M. Engeman, Stephanie A. Shwiff, Bernice Constantin, Margo Stahl, Henry T. Smith

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge (HSNWR) on Florida’s east coast provides undisturbed nesting habitat for three species of threatened or endangered marine turtles. Predation by raccoons and armadillos poses the greatest risk to turtle nests, and predator control has been identified as the most important management tool for enhancing nesting productivity. Recently, estimates of the number of nests that would have been lost in the 2000 nesting and incubation season were made using the results from four control approaches. These approaches were, in order of descending complexity: (1) refuge control enhanced by a one person-month contract with federal control specialists, …

Monetary Valuation Methods For Economic Analysis Of The Benefit-Costs Of Protecting Rare Wildlife Species From Predators, Richard M. Engeman, Stephanie A. Shwiff, Henry T. Smith, Bernice Constantin

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Many threatened and endangered species are negatively impacted by predation. Management of the predators that are geographically and temporally in position to threaten species of concern can greatly aid in their conservation. However, decisions on management strategies are based within economic constraints, while the success of management actions is measured by wildlife resource improvement. Here, we review methods for applying monetary valuations for threatened and endangered species so that economic analyses of management actions can be used to help guide and evaluate management decisions. A variety of applied examples are provided to demonstrate the principles.

Technical And Ethical Issues In Indicator Systems: Doing Things Right And Doing Wrong Things, Carol Taylor Fitz-Gibbon, Peter Tymms

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Most indicator systems are top-down, published, management systems, addressing primarily the issue of public accountability. In contrast we describe here a university-based suite of "grass-roots," research-oriented indicator systems that are now subscribed to, voluntarily, by about 1 in 3 secondary schools and over 4,000 primary schools in England. ...

The Qmap And Mat/Toco Experiments For Measuring Anisotropy In The Cosmic Microwave Background, A. Miller, J. Beach, S. Bradley, R. Caldwell, H. Chapman, M. J. Devlin, W. B. Devlin, W. B. Dorwart, T. Herbig, D. Jones, G. Monnelly, C. B. Netterfield, M. Nolta, L. A. Page, J. Puchalla, T. Robertson, E. Torbet, H. T. Tran, W. E. Vinje

Dartmouth Scholarship

We describe two related experiments that measured the anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). QMAP was a balloon-borne telescope that flew twice in 1996, collecting data on degree angular scales with an array of six high electron mobility transistor-based amplifiers (HEMTs). QMAP used an interlocking scan strategy to directly produce high signal-to-noise ratio CMB maps over a limited region of sky. The QMAP gondola was then refitted for ground-based work as the MAT/TOCO experiment. Observations were made from 5200 m on Cerro Toco in Northern Chile in 1997 and 1998 using time domain beam synthesis. MAT/TOCO measured the rise …

The Horizontal Extent Of Cloud-To-Ground Lightning Over The Kennedy Space Center, Todd M. Mcnamara

Theses and Dissertations

The Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) runs the Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model 5 (MM5) as their main mesoscale weather forecast model. One of the post-processing procedures is a diagnostic algorithm, which is used to help identify convective and non-convective wind gusts. O. Brassuer has identified a new Wind Gust Estimate (WGE), as a physically based method of computing non-convective wind gusts. The WGE surmises that Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) transfers the momentum of faster upper-air winds to the surface, overcoming the buoyant energy of the surface layer. This work converts Brassuer's WGE to FORTRAN code and utilizing post-processed CONUS AFWA …

White-Light-Induced Fragmentation Of Toluene, A. M. Müller, B. Witzel, Cornelis J. Uiterwaal, J. Wanner, K.-L. Kompa

C.J.G.J. Uiterwaal Publications

We investigate the influence of continuum generation on the photofragmentation dynamics of the toluene molecule. By sending an 80-fs Ti:sapphire laser beam through a 2-mm-thick CaF₂ plate we show that even moderately broadened laser frequency spectra considerably increase the degree of fragmentation, while it is nearly absent without continuum generation. The measured broadening of the frequency spectra and the known Raman-active vibrational modes of toluene afford an explanation in terms of a stimulated Raman scattering scheme, in which the molecule absorbs large amounts of vibrational energy.

Sensitivity Analysis Of The Florida Tech Utc-M Mesoscale Atmopsheric Seabreeze Model To Estimates Of Water And Land Heating Rates Using Avhrr Sst And Coastal Margin Land Temperatures, Charles R. Bostater Jr., Lisa Huddleston, Jerome King

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

In this paper we conduct sensitivity analyses of the land surface boundary conditions and parameterizations in the UTC-M primitive equation atmospheric planetary boundary layer Seabreeze model. The boundary conditions for temperature of the ocean and land surface is based upon satellite derived AVHRR estimates over the water (SST) and coastal land margins. The sensitivity analysis ofthe boundary conditions as well as the heating and cooling rates in the planetary boundary layer model are also described. The model domain of interest is the region over the Space Coast of Central Florida. This region is unique because of its complex coastal water-land …

Reply To Comment On "Evaluation Of The Tail Current Contribution To Dst", Niescja E. Turner, D N. Baker, T I. Pulkkinen, R L. Mcpherron

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Research

Turner et al. [2000] analyzed the contribution of cross-tail currents to the Dst index. In order to estimate this contribution we used modified versions of the Tsyganenko models which had been adjusted to match spacecraft data in the tail, and we isolated a tail region and calculated its influence. We concluded that the tail currents were responsible for around 25% of the Dst response during moderately disturbed times. Maltsev and Ostapenko [2002] conclude that our estimate was low by a factor of 2, owing to that fact that we neglected dayside currents and that the model we used systematically underestimates …
