Automatic deployment of a 2-D geophone array for efficient ultra-shallow seismic imaging
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2006)The cost of three-dimensional seismic-reflection surveys is approximately inversely proportional to the square of the target depth, which renders ultra-shallow 3-D surveys uneconomical when employing conventional acquisition ... -
Structure of the Salina-Forest City interbasin boundary from seismic studies
(Kansas Geological Survey, 1989)As petroleum-exploration efforts in the midcontinent become directed toward smaller fields and the search for minerals is extended into new areas, the edges of the Salina and Forest City basins will become of increased ... -
Kansas refraction profiles
(Kansas Geological Survey, 1989)Historically, refraction surveys have been conducted in hopes of mapping distinct layers within the earth. Refraction is a useful tool provided its limitations and the assumption that layers increase in seismic velocity ... -
New distributional modelling approaches for gap analysis
(Cambridge University Press, 2003-02)Synthetic products based on biodiversity information such as gap analysis depend critically on accurate models of species' geographic distributions that simultaneously minimize error in both overprediction and omission. ... -
A scalable agent-based network measurement infrastructure
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2000-09)The rapid growth of computer networks has made the process of understanding the interaction among network components more challenging than ever. The increase in the size of networks is accompanied by the more demanding use ... -
Automating component reuse and adaptation
(IEEE COMPUTER SOC, 2004-09)A continuing challenge for software designers is to develop efficient and cost-effective software implementations. Many see software reuse as a potential solution; however, the cost of reuse tends to outweigh the potential ... -
Quantum information transfer and entanglement with SQUID qubits in cavity QED: A dark-state scheme with tolerance for nonuniform device parameter
(AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 2004-03)We investigate the experimental feasibility of realizing quantum information transfer (QIT) and entanglement with SQUID qubits in a microwave cavity via dark states. Realistic system parameters are presented. Our results ... -
Electromagnetic and physical properties of sea ice formed in the presence of wave action
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 1998-09)Estimating the magnitude of brine flux to the upper ocean requires an ability to assess the dynamics of the formation of sea ice in a region. Brine storage and rate of expulsion is determined by the environmental conditions ... -
A broad spectral, interdisciplinary investigation of the electromagnetic properties of sea ice
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 1998-09)This paper highlights the interrelationship of research completed by a team of investigators and presented in the several individual papers comprising this Special Section on the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Arlington, ... -
A wideband radar for high-resolution mapping of near-surface internal layers in glacial ice
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2004-03)Snow accumulation rate is an important parameter in determining the mass balance of polar ice sheets. Accumulation rate is currently determined by analyzing ice cores and snow pits. Inadequate sampling of the spatial ... -
Focused synthetic aperture radar processing of ice-sounder data collected over the Greenland ice sheet
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2001-10)We developed a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing algorithm for airborne/spaceborne ice-sounding radar systems and applied it to data collected in Greenland. By using focused SAR (phase-corrected coherent averaging), ... -
On reconciling ground-based with spaceborne normalized radar cross section measurements
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2002-02)This study examines differences in the normalized radar cross section, derived from ground-based versus spaceborne radar data. A simple homogeneous half-space model, indicates that agreement between the two improves as 1) ... -
Wideband measurements of ice sheet attenuation and basal scattering
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2005-04)We are developing a multifirequency multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for determining polar ice sheet basal conditions. To obtain data for designing and optimizing radar performance, we performed field measurements ... -
Language symptoms of developmental language disorders: An overview of autism, Down syndrome, fragile X, specific language impairment, and Williams syndrome
(Cambridge University Press, 2005-01)Language deficits occur in a variety of developmental disorders including autism spectrum disorders. Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, specific language impairment, and Williams syndrome. This paper describes the specific ... -
Using Bayesian networks for bankruptcy prediction: Some methodological issues
(Elsevier, 2007-07-16)This study provides operational guidance for building naıve Bayes Bayesian network (BN) models for bankruptcy prediction. First, we suggest a heuristic method that guides the selection of bankruptcy predictors. Based on ... -
