High-Resolution Mapping In Manus Basin, C. Roman, V. Ferrini

Christopher N. Roman

Near-bottom seafloor mapping with precisely navigated deep submergence vehicles has become increasingly common in a range of oceanographic settings. Recent mapping efforts at deep-water hydrothermal vent sites have resulted in high-resolution (sub-meter) bathymetry datasets that can be used to identify morphological features associated with volcanic, tectonic, and hydrothermal processes. The resolution of these maps, and our ability to accurately quantify the complex morphologic details of hydrothermal structures has been limited by a number of variables including navigational accuracy, sonar settings (e.g. acoustic wavelength, sonar orientation, ping rate), survey parameters (e.g. altitude, speed), data density, and data processing techniques (e.g. gridding …

A Mathematical Regression Of The U.S. Gross Private Domestic Investment 1959-2001, Byron E. Bell

Byron E. Bell

SUMMARY OF PROJECT What did I do? A study of the role the U.S. stock markets and money markets have possibly played in the Gross Private Domestic Investment (GPDI) of the United States from the year 1959 to the year 2001 and I created a Multiple Linear Regression Model (MLRM).

How Earth Remote Sensing From The International Space Station Complements Current Satellite‐Based Sensors, Jennifer Gebelein, Dean Eppler

Jennifer Gebelein

The International Space Station (ISS) will provide an Earth‐and space‐observing platform that will support sensors built by 16 different countries and deliver data and images for local, regional and global research. When complete, it will be an exceptional platform for conducting remote sensing of the Earth, astrophysics, and space physics research programmes. Additionally, the ISS will operate as a testbed for engineering studies and complex technological developments that will benefit future Earth‐observing capabilities. ...

Consistency Based Error Evaluation For Deep Sea Bathymetric Mapping With Robotic Vehicles, Christopher Roman, Hanumant Singh

Christopher N. Roman

This paper presents a method to evaluate the mapping error present in point cloud terrain maps created using robotic vehicles and range sensors. This work focuses on mapping environments where no a priori ground truth is available and self consistency is the only available check against false artifacts and errors. The proposed error measure is based on a disparity measurement between common sections of the environment that have been imaged multiple times. This disparity measure highlights inconsistency in the terrain map by showing regions where multiple overlapping point clouds do not fit together well. This error measure provides the map …

High Magnetic Field Thermal-Expansion And Magnetostriction Of Uru2si2, Victor Correa, Timothy Murphy, Eric Palm, Stanley Tozer, Peter Sharma, Neil Harrison, Jamie Marcelo, George Schmiedeshoff, John Mydosh

George Schmiedeshoff

We present high magnetic field (up to 45 T) thermal-expansion and magnetostriction results on URu2Si2 single crystals. The volume change associated with the transition to the ``hidden'' order phase becomes increasingly discontinous as the magnetic field is raised above 30 T. This confirms recent thermal conductivity and specific heat experiments indicating a strong coupling between the ``hidden'' order parameter and the lattice which suggest some sort of charge ordered state. Several other transitions are observed at higher fields, many of them showing hysteresis, while a change in the sign of the magnetostriction coefficient is observed at the metamagnetic transition (BM …

Characterizing Geometry, Kinematics, And Fracturing Of A Wavy Fault Surface, Arkitsa, Greece, Phillip Resor, Vanessa Meer

Phillip G Resor

The Arkitsa fault is a high angle normal fault within the Gulf of Evvia rift system of central Greece. Quarrying of hanging wall sediments has exposed a 600 m length of a wavy footwall fault surface within Triassic/Jurassic platform carbonates. This excellent exposure enables examination of fault damage zone processes up to hundred meter scale. Using a robotic reflectorless total station we create a virtual fault surface with 1-m spatial resolution and sub-cm precision that extends over a length of 250 m and a vertical height of 60 m. Zones of extreme curvature (antiforms and synforms) parallel the average slip …

The Tablet Pc For Faculty: A Pilot Project, Rob Weitz, Bert Wachsmuth, Danielle Mirliss

Bert Wachsmuth

This paper describes a pilot project with the purpose of evaluating the usefulness of tablet PCs for university professors. The focus is on the value of tablets primarily with respect to teaching and learning (and not for research or administrative work). Sixty-four professors, distributed across the various schools of a university, were provided with tablet PCs and were trained in their use.

Foreign Exchange Intervention By The Bank Of Japan: Bayesian Analysis Using A Bivariate Stochastic Volatility Model, Michael Smith, Andrew Pitts

Michael Stanley Smith

A bivariate stochastic volatility model is employed to measure the effect of intervention by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) on daily returns and volume in the USD/YEN foreign exchange market. Missing observations are accounted for, and a data-based Wishart prior for the precision matrix of the errors to the transition equation that is in line with the likelihood is suggested. Empirical results suggest there is strong conditional heteroskedasticity in the mean-corrected volume measure, as well as contemporaneous correlation in the errors to both the observation and transition equations. A threshold model is used for the BOJ reaction function, which is …
