JO - Astrophysical Journal JF - Astrophysical Journal Y1 - 2017/01/10/ VL - 834 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 1 SN - 0004637X AB - We have used the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope to observe stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) selected from the Point Source Catalog of the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX). We concentrate on the dust properties of the oxygen-rich evolved stars. The dust composition has smaller contributions from alumina compared to the Galaxy. This difference may arise from the lower metallicity in the SMC, but it could be a selection effect, as the SMC sample includes more stars that are brighter and thus more massive. The distribution of the SMC stars along the silicate sequence looks more like the Galactic sample of red supergiants than asymptotic giant branch stars (AGBs). While many of the SMC stars are definitively on the AGB, several also show evidence of hot bottom burning. Three of the supergiants show PAH emission at 11.3 μm. Two other sources show mixed chemistry, with both carbon-rich and oxygen-rich spectral features. One, MSX SMC 134, may be the first confirmed silicate/carbon star in the SMC. The other, MSX SMC 049, is a candidate post-AGB star. MSX SMC 145, previously considered a candidate OH/IR star, is actually an AGB star with a background galaxy at z = 0.16 along the same line of sight. We consider the overall characteristics of all the MSX sources, the most infrared-bright objects in the SMC, in light of the higher sensitivity and resolution of Spitzer, and compare them with the object types expected from the original selection criteria. This population represents what will be seen in more distant galaxies by the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Color–color diagrams generated from the IRS spectra and the mid-infrared filters on JWST show how one can separate evolved stars from young stellar objects (YSOs) and distinguish among different classes of YSOs.

RHD is societally important for applications such as environmental criminology, epidemiology, and biology to investigate evasive patterns. RHD is computationally challenging because of the large number of candidate rings, non-monotonic interest measure, and cost of the statistical significance test. Previous approaches (e.g., spatial scan statistics tools) focus on simply-connected shaped areas (e.g., circles, rectangles) and can not detect statistically significant rings. In this paper, a novel algorithm, DGPLMR, is proposed to discover statistically significant ring-shaped hotspots based on the ideas of dual grid based pruning and best enclosing ring refining. Theoretical evaluation proves that the proposed approach is a correct approach (i.e., all outputs satisfy input thresholds) to detect ring-shaped hotspots. Case study on real disease data shows that the proposed approach finds ring-shaped hotspots which were not detected by the existing techniques. Cost analysis and experimental results on synthetic data show that the proposed approach with algorithmic refinements yields substantial computational savings.

The authentication component of the system has a variety of weaknesses, which have led to a variety of proposals for improving the current environment. In this paper, we survey, analyze, compare and contrast five prominent proposals. To do this, we attempt to systematically capture the properties one might require of such a system: authentication properties, forensics/privacy properties, usability properties and pragmatic properties. Enumerating these properties is an important part of understanding these proposals and the nature of the authentication problem for the secure Web. Finally, we offer a few conclusions and suggestions pertaining to these proposals and possible future directions of research.

When did the change occur? Which components or quality characteristics changed? For those components for which the mean shifted, what are the new values for the mean? While methods exist for addressing these questions individually, we present a Bayesian approach that addresses all three questions in a single model. We employ Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods in a Bayesian analysis that can be used in a unified approach to the diagnostics questions for multivariate charts. We demonstrate how a reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) approach can be used to infer (1) the change point, (2) the change model (i.e., which components changed), and (3) post-change estimates of the mean.

This raises a question as to whether classical Monte Carlo methods can simulate stoquastic adiabatic algorithms with polynomial overhead. Here we analyze diffusion Monte Carlo algorithms. We argue that, based on differences between L1 and L2 normalized states, these algorithms suffer from certain obstructions preventing them from efficiently simulating stoquastic adiabatic evolution in generality. In practice however, we obtain good performance by introducing a method that we call Substochastic Monte Carlo. In fact, our simulations are good classical optimization algorithms in their own right, competitive with the best previously known heuristic solvers for MAX-k-SAT at k=2,3,4.

Specifically, this research surveyed three groups--DoD acquisition program managers, defense industry program managers, and defense industry consultants--to evaluate and analyze key program factors that influence DoD acquisition program terminations. This research used relative importance weight calculations and a chi-squared distribution analysis to compare the differences between DoD acquisition program managers, defense industry program managers, and defense industry consultants regarding the factors that lead to DoD acquisition program terminations. The results of this research indicate that a statistically significant difference does not exist between the three groups as to the relative importance of 11 program management factors.

This consists of a set of independent-sensor neural nets, one for each sensor (type of data), coupled to a fusion net. The neural net of each sensor is trained from a representative data set of the particular sensor to map to a hypothesis space output. The decision outputs from the sensor nets are used to train the fusion net to an overall decision. During the initial processing, three-dimensional (3-D) point cloud data (PCD) are segmented using a multidimensional mean-shift algorithm into clustered objects. Concurrently, multiband spectral imagery data (multispectral or hyperspectral) are spectrally segmented by the stochastic expectation-maximization into a cluster map containing (spectral-based) pixel classes. For the proposed sensor fusion, spatial detections and spectral detections complement each other. They are fused into final detections by a cascaded neural network, which consists of two levels of neural nets. The success of the approach in utilizing sensor synergism for an enhanced classification is demonstrated for the specific case of classifying hyperspectral imagery and PCD extracted from LIDAR, obtained from an airborne data collection over the campus of University of Southern Mississippi, Gulfport, Mississippi.

Such scaling introduces new challenges, including how to meet the electronics readout burden of ever larger area MCPs. One solution is to replace the traditional grid anode used for readout with a microwave stripline anode, thus allowing the channel count to scale with MCP width rather than area. However, stripline anodes introduce new issues not commonly dealt with in grid-anodes, especially as their length increases. One of these issues is the near simultaneous arrival of multiple photons on the detector, creating possible confusion about how to reconstruct their arrival times and positions. We propose a maximum a posteriori solution to the problem and verify its performance in simulated scintillator and water-Cherenkov detectors.

(see record [rid]2016-33183-004[/rid]). Adler et al. open with a summary of the business case driving our field to change and close by providing principles for accomplishing that change, where they conclude that 'there is no right answer to the ratings question'. Lying between the opening and closing sections is a series of arguments for and against today’s performance rating status quo, arguments illustrating just what happens when too many years are spent seeking answers along too narrow a path. In this commentary, we provide additional support for the strategy- and outcome-driven approach to performance management advocated in the article. In addition, we offer ideas for what has contributed to getting us and keeping us where we are. Unless we understand what has driven performance ratings research and practice to be the object of an intense and lengthy debate, these same forces may well drive us to carry out years-long experiments of questionable value along similarly narrow paths. We want to offer our views on how to foster outcome-based practice more broadly.

AB - Illicit trafficking networks in West Africa are a major funding source for violent extremist groups in the region. Although the United States has formed interagency constructs in the Caribbean and in Europe to counter illicit trafficking, there is a gap in West Africa. The corridor of smuggling routes from the shores of West Africa into North Africa provides extremist groups with the financing they need to continue their activities. By forming a third interagency organization in West Africa, the United States and its partners could strike a significant blow to violent extremist groups, which continue to threaten U.S. interests in the region.

On the other hand, the Euler formula puts su cient restrictions on plane graphs that one should be able to assert the existence of such tours in some cases; in particular we focus on split Euler tours (SETs) in 3-connected, 4-regular, planar graphs (tfps). An Euler tour S in a graph G is a SET if there is a vertex v (called a half vertex of S) such that the longest portion of the tour between successive visits to v is exactly half the number of edges of G. Among other results, we establish that every tfp G having a SET S in which every vertex of G is a half vertex of S can be transformed to another tfp G′ having a SET S′ in which every vertex of G′ is a half vertex of S′ and G′ has at most one point having a face configuration of a particular class. The various results rely heavily on the structure of such graphs as determined by the Euler formula and on the construction of tfps from the octahedron. We also construct a 2-connected 4-regular planar graph that does not have a SET.

The mTC is a multipurpose detector, aiming to detect not only neutrinos but also fast/thermal neutrons. Potential applications include the counterproliferation of nuclear materials and the investigation of antineutrino short-baseline effects. The mTC is a plastic 0.2% 10B-doped scintillator (13 cm)3 cube surrounded by 24 Micro-Channel Plate (MCP) photon detectors, each with an 8 × 8 anode totaling 1536 individual channels/pixels viewing the scintillator. It uses custom-made electronics modules which mount on top of the MCPs, making our detector compact and able to both distinguish different types of events and reject noise in real time. The detector is currently deployed and being tested at the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research nuclear reactor (20 MWth) in Gaithersburg MD. A shield for further tests is being constructed, and calibration and upgrades are ongoing. The mTC's improved spatiotemporal resolution will allow for determination of incident particle directions beyond previous capabilities.

JO - Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law JF - Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law Y1 - 2016/01// VL - 49 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 57 SN - 00902594 AB - The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Standing Rules of Engagement/Standing Rules for the Use of Force (SROE/SRUF) for U.S. Forces provides strategic guidance to the armed forces on the authority to use force during all military operations. The standing self-defense rules in the SROE for national, unit, and individual self-defense form the core of these use-of-force authorities. The SROE self-defense rules are incorrectly built on a unitary jus ad bellum framework, legally inapplicable below the level of national self-defense. Coupled with the pressures of sustained counter-insurgency operations, this misalignment of individual and unit self-defense authorities has led to a conflation of self-defense principles and offensive targeting authorities under the Law of Armed Conflict. In order to reverse this trend and realign individual and unit self-defense with governing legal frameworks, this Article considers self-defense through the lens of the public authority justification to better reflect the status of servicemembers as state actors whose actions are subject to the domestic and international legal obligations of the state.

JO - Journal of Geodesy JF - Journal of Geodesy Y1 - 2015/12// VL - 89 IS - 12 M3 - Article SP - 1263 EP - 1272 SN - 09497714 AB - In 1884, the International Meridian Conference recommended that the prime meridian 'to be employed as a common zero of longitude and standard of time-reckoning throughout the globe' pass through the 'centre of the transit instrument at the Observatory of Greenwich'. Today, tourists visiting its meridian line must walk east approximately 102 m before their satellite-navigation receivers indicate zero longitude. This offset can be accounted for by the difference between astronomical and geodetic coordinates-deflection of the vertical-in the east-west direction at Greenwich, and the imposed condition of continuity in astronomical time. The coordinates of satellite-navigation receivers are provided in reference frames that are related to the geocentric reference frame introduced by the Bureau International de l'Heure (BIH) in 1984. This BIH Terrestrial System provided the basis for orientation of subsequent geocentric reference frames, including all realizations of the World Geodetic System 1984 and the International Terrestrial Reference Frame. Despite the lateral offset of the original and current zero-longitude lines at Greenwich, the orientation of the meridian plane used to measure Universal Time has remained essentially unchanged.

JO - Scientific Reports JF - Scientific Reports Y1 - 2015/09/04/ M3 - Article SP - 13945 SN - 20452322 AB - Every second greater than 1025 antineutrinos radiate to space from Earth, shining like a faint antineutrino star. Underground antineutrino detectors have revealed the rapidly decaying fission products inside nuclear reactors, verified the long-lived radioactivity inside our planet, and informed sensitive experiments for probing fundamental physics. Mapping the anisotropic antineutrino flux and energy spectrum advance geoscience by defining the amount and distribution of radioactive power within Earth while critically evaluating competing compositional models of the planet. We present the Antineutrino Global Map 2015 (AGM2015), an experimentally informed model of Earth's surface antineutrino flux over the 0 to 11 MeV energy spectrum, along with an assessment of systematic errors. The open source AGM2015 provides fundamental predictions for experiments, assists in strategic detector placement to determine neutrino mass hierarchy, and aids in identifying undeclared nuclear reactors. We use cosmochemically and seismologically informed models of the radiogenic lithosphere/mantle combined with the estimated antineutrino flux, as measured by KamLAND and Borexino, to determine the Earth's total antineutrino luminosity at . We find a dominant flux of geo-neutrinos, predict sub-equal crust and mantle contributions, with ~1% of the total flux from man-made nuclear reactors.

The binary family turns out to be equivalent to that discovered by Dillon and Dobbertin and published in 2004. The general $p$ -ary family is equivalent to that discovered by Gong and Helleseth, by Dillon and, when $p=3$ , by Helleseth, Kumar, and Martinsen. All of these $p$ -ary results were published in 2001 and 2002. The special ternary families are new and give as special cases the sequences conjectured by Alfred Lin in his 1998 Ph.D. thesis as well as most of those conjectured in 2001 by Ludkovski and Gong. Our sequences may also be used to construct (relative) difference sets, their corresponding block designs and generalized weighing matrices.

It is calculated from filter-based samples and optical particle counter (OPC) data on a daily or sample period basis. The MCF allows for greater temporal and spatial mass concentration information than typical filter-based measurements. Results of MCF calculations from several field studies are summarized. Pairwise comparisons from a collocated study with multiple OPCs and mass samplers suggest the minimum variability of the MCF is 5-10%. The variability of the MCF within a sample period during a field study with distributed samplers averaged 17-21%. In addition, the precision of the Airmetrics MiniVol Portable Air Sampler for particulate matter (PM) was typically . Comparisons with federal reference method (FRM) samplers showed that MiniVols yield concentrations essentially equivalent to FRMs with slightly greater deviations from the FRM for under tested ambient conditions.

Unlike discrete data that retains only a few strong returns, FWD generally keeps the whole signal, at all times, regardless of the signal intensity. Hence, FWD will have an increasingly well-deserved role in mapping and beyond, in the much desired classification in the raw data format. Full-waveform systems currently perform only the recording of the waveform data at the acquisition stage; the return extraction is mostly deferred to post-processing. Although the full waveform preserves most of the details of the real data, it presents a serious practical challenge for a wide use: much larger datasets compared to those from the classical discrete return systems. Atop the need for more storage space, the acquisition speed of the FWD may also limit the pulse rate on most systems that cannot store data fast enough, and thus, reduces the perceived system performance. This work introduces a waveform cube model to compress waveforms in selected subsets of the cube, aimed at achieving decreased storage while maintaining the maximum pulse rate of FWD systems. In our experiments, the waveform cube is compressed using classical methods for 2D imagery that are further tested to assess the feasibility of the proposed solution. The spatial distribution of airborne waveform data is irregular; however, the manner of the FWD acquisition allows the organization of the waveforms in a regular 3D structure similar to familiar multi-component imagery, as those of hyper-spectral cubes or 3D volumetric tomography scans. This study presents the performance analysis of several lossy compression methods applied to the LiDAR waveform cube, including JPEG-1, JPEG-2000, and PCA-based techniques. Wide ranges of tests performed on real airborne datasets have demonstrated the benefits of the JPEG-2000 Standard where high compression rates incur fairly small data degradation. In addition, the JPEG-2000 Standard-compliant compression implementation can be fast and, thus, used in real-time systems, as compressed data sequences can be formed progressively during the waveform data collection. We conclude from our experiments that 2D image compression strategies are feasible and efficient approaches, thus they might be applied during the acquisition of the FWD sensors.

The SSTN problem is important for many societal applications, such as surface and air transportation management systems. The problem is NP hard, and is challenging due to an inherently large data volume and novel semantics (e.g., Lagrangian reference frame). Related works rely on orthogonal partitioning approaches (e.g., snapshot and longitudinal) and incur excessive I/O costs when performing common STN queries. Our preliminary work proposed a non-orthogonal partitioning approach in which we optimized the \(LGetOneSuccessor()\) operation that retrieves a single successor for a given node on STN. In this paper, we provide a method to optimize the \(LGetAllSuccessors()\) operation, which retrieves all successors for a given node on a STN. This new approach uses the concept of a Lagrangian Family Set (LFS) to model data access patterns for STN queries. Experimental results using real-world road and flight traffic datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms prior work for \(LGetAllSuccessors()\) computation workloads.

JO - IEEE Transactions on Knowledge & Data Engineering JF - IEEE Transactions on Knowledge & Data Engineering Y1 - 2014/06// VL - 26 IS - 6 M3 - Article SP - 1464 EP - 1478 SN - 10414347 AB - Data summarization is an important concept in data mining for finding a compact representation of a dataset. In spatial network activity summarization (SNAS), we are given a spatial network and a collection of activities (e.g., pedestrian fatality reports, crime reports) and the goal is to find \(k\) shortest paths that summarize the activities. SNAS is important for applications where observations occur along linear paths such as roadways, train tracks, etc. SNAS is computationally challenging because of the large number of \(k\) subsets of shortest paths in a spatial network. Previous work has focused on either geometry or subgraph-based approaches (e.g., only one path), and cannot summarize activities using multiple paths. This paper proposes a K-Main Routes (KMR) approach that discovers \(k\) shortest paths to summarize activities. KMR generalizes K-means for network space but uses shortest paths instead of ellipses to summarize activities. To improve performance, KMR uses network Voronoi, divide and conquer, and pruning strategies. We present a case study comparing KMR's network-based output (i.e., shortest paths) to geometry-based outputs (e.g., ellipses) on pedestrian fatality data. Experimental results on synthetic and real data show that KMR with our performance-tuning decisions yields substantial computational savings without reducing summary path coverage.

The specific realizations typically correspond to geospatial errors or perturbations over a horizontal plane or grid. The errors are either scalar, such as vertical errors, or multivariate, such as x, y, and z errors. These realizations enable simulation-based performance assessment and tuning of various geospatial applications. Both homogeneous and non-homogeneous random fields are addressed. The sequential generation is very fast and compared to methods based on Cholesky decomposition of an a priori covariance matrix and Sequential Gaussian Simulation. The multi-grid point covariance matrix is also developed for all the above random fields, essential for the optimal performance of many geospatial applications ingesting data with these types of errors.

JO - PLoS ONE JF - PLoS ONE Y1 - 2014/05// VL - 9 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 1 EP - 14 PB - Public Library of Science SN - 19326203 AB - Path integration is a process in which observers derive their location by integrating self-motion signals along their locomotion trajectory. Although the medial temporal lobe (MTL) is thought to take part in path integration, the scope of its role for path integration remains unclear. To address this issue, we administered a variety of tasks involving path integration and other related processes to a group of neurosurgical patients whose MTL was unilaterally resected as therapy for epilepsy. These patients were unimpaired relative to neurologically intact controls in many tasks that required integration of various kinds of sensory self-motion information. However, the same patients (especially those who had lesions in the right hemisphere) walked farther than the controls when attempting to walk without vision to a previewed target. Importantly, this task was unique in our test battery in that it allowed participants to form a mental representation of the target location and anticipate their upcoming walking trajectory before they began moving. Thus, these results put forth a new idea that the role of MTL structures for human path integration may stem from their participation in predicting the consequences of one's locomotor actions. The strengths of this new theoretical viewpoint are discussed.

However, since DMS identification is a complex process involving numerous variable constraints, many regional, county and municipal jurisdictions initiate this process during the post-disaster response and recovery phases, typically a period of severely stressed resources. Hence, a pre-disaster approach in identifying the most likely sites based on the number of locational constraints would significantly contribute to disaster debris management planning. As disasters vary in their nature, location and extent, an effective approach must facilitate scalability, flexibility and adaptability to variable local requirements, while also being generalisable to other regions and geographical extents. This study demonstrates the use of binomial cluster analysis in potential DMS identification in a case study conducted in Hamilton County, Indiana.

Its presence in particular artworks, however, has been difficult to confirm scientifically due to the chemical similarities between Ripolin and contemporary artist's tube paints, and the lack of knowledge about Ripolin paint formulations. This study compares data collected from a large reference set of historical samples of Ripolin and artist's tube paints with new analytical results from two Picasso paintings in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago suspected to contain Ripolin: Still Life (1922) and The Red Armchair (1931). A variety of non-invasive and micro-invasive analytical techniques, including x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fiber-optics reflectance spectroscopy (350 to 2500 nm), Raman spectroscopy, optical and polarized light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, were used to analyze the paint samples. The results indicate that Still Life does not contain Ripolin, as it has pigments, such as vermilion and lead white, and extenders, such as barium sulfate, not used in French Ripolin house paints. On the other hand, The Red Armchair has paints matching closely with samples of Ripolin Blanc de neige, used alone and mixed with artist's tube colors.

JO - Journal of Environmental Quality JF - Journal of Environmental Quality Y1 - 2013/07//Jul/Aug2013 VL - 42 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1029 EP - 1038 SN - 00472425 AB - Soil preparation for agricultural crops produces aerosols that may significantly contribute to seasonal atmospheric particulate matter (PM). Efforts to reduce PM emissions from tillage through a variety of conservation management practices (CMPs) have been made, but the reductions from many of these practices have not been measured in the field. A study was conducted in California's San Joaquin Valley to quantify emissions reductions from fall tillage CMP. Emissions were measured from conventional tillage methods and from a "combined operations" CMP, which combines several implements to reduce tractor passes. Measurements were made of soil moisture, bulk density, meteorological profiles, filter-based total suspended PM (TSP), concentrations of PM with an equivalent aerodynamic diameter ≤10 μm (PM10) and PM with an equivalent aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5), and aerosol size distribution. A mass-calibrated, scanning, three-wavelength light detection and ranging (LIDAR) procedure estimated PM through a series of algorithms. Emissions were calculated via inverse modeling with mass concentration measurements and applying a mass balance to LIDAR data. Inverse modeling emission estimates were higher, often with statistically significant differences. Derived PM10 emissions for conventional operations generally agree with literature values. Sampling irregularities with a few filter-based samples prevented calculation of a complete set of emissions through inverse modeling; however, the LIDAR-based emissions dataset was complete. The CMP control effectiveness was calculated based on LIDAR-derived emissions to be 29 ± 2%, 60 ± 1%, and 25 ± 1% for PM2.5, PM10, and TSP size fractions, respectively. Implementation of this CMP provides an effective method for the reduction of PM emissions.

However, to meet stringent accuracy requirements and minimize systematic errors, proper calibration of the lidar system is required. "Boresighting" is a technique used to correct for some of these systematic errors and improve the spatial alignment of lidar passes. One challenge with boresighting is the mensuration accuracy to which a known point can be located in overlapping low density lidar strips. To address this issue, a raised Hexagonal Retro-Reflective Lidar ground Target (HRRT) is introduced. The target was optimized for precise mensuration at low point densities. The mensuration model is based on a least squares hexagon fitting approach and is proven to produce mensuration accuracies of 5 cm horizontal and 4 cm vertical (1-sigma) at ~2 pts/m². To demonstrate a practical application, the HRRT'S are used as tie points in a rigorous boresight adjustment to compute lidar strip misalignment parameters (roll, pitch, heading, and range bias). The adjustment results show that accurate boresight parameters are recovered along with their associated uncertainties.

JO - Physics Reports JF - Physics Reports Y1 - 2013/06/20/ VL - 527 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 131 EP - 204 SN - 03701573 AB - Abstract: In this paper we introduce the concept of what we call “NUDAR” (NeUtrino Direction and Ranging), making the point that measurements of the observed energy and direction vectors can be employed to passively deduce the exact three-dimensional location and thermal power of geophysical and anthropogenic neutrino sources from even a single detector. Earlier studies have presented the challenges of long-range detection, dominated by the unavoidable inverse-square falloff in neutrinos, which force the use of kiloton scale detectors beyond a few kilometers. Earlier work has also presented the case for multiple detectors, and has reviewed the background challenges. We present the most precise background estimates to date, all handled in full three dimensions, as functions of depth and geographical location. For the present calculations, we consider a hypothetical 138 kiloton detector which can be transported to an ocean site and deployed to an operational depth. We present a Bayesian estimation framework to incorporate any a priori knowledge of the reactor that we are trying to detect, as well as the estimated uncertainty in the background and the oscillation parameters. Most importantly, we fully employ the knowledge of the reactor spectrum and the distance-dependent effects of neutrino oscillations on such spectra. The latter, in particular, makes possible determination of range from one location, given adequate signal statistics. Further, we explore the rich potential of improving detection with even modest improvements in individual neutrino direction determination. We conclude that a 300 MWth reactor can indeed be geolocated, and its operating power estimated with one or two detectors in the hundred kiloton class at ranges out to a few hundred kilometers. We note that such detectors would have natural and non-interfering utility for scientific studies of geo-neutrinos, neutrino oscillations, and astrophysical neutrinos. This motivates the development of cost effective methods of constructing and deploying such next generation detectors.

We introduce organizational researchers to propensity scoring, a statistical technique that has become popular in other applied sciences as a means for improving internal validity. Propensity scoring statistically models how individuals in a quasi‐experiment have been assigned to conditions in order to estimate treatment effects among individuals with approximately equal probabilities of receiving the treatment. If propensity scores are created from relevant covariates, matching on the propensity score makes treatment assignment ignorable and approximates a true experimental design. We illustrate how matching on the propensity score can be applied by using 2 examples: examining the effects of online instruction and estimating the benefits of preparatory coaching for the SAT. In both cases, propensity‐scoring methods effectively reduced inequivalence between treatment and control groups on many variables. Propensity scoring stands out as a valuable technique capable of improving causal inference from many of organizational research's quasi‐experiments.

However, comparison of early estimates of the basic reproduction number during the 2009 pandemic were challenging because of inconsistent data sources and methods. Here, we define and analyze influenza-like-illness (ILI) case data from 2009–2010 for the 50 largest spatially distinct US military installations (military population defined by zip code, MPZ). We used publicly available data from non-military sources to show that patterns of ILI incidence in many of these MPZs closely followed the pattern of their enclosing civilian population. After characterizing the broad patterns of incidence (e.g. single-peak, double-peak), we defined a parsimonious SIR-like model with two possible values for intrinsic transmissibility across three epochs. We fitted the parameters of this model to data from all 50 MPZs, finding them to be reasonably well clustered with a median (mean) value of 1.39 (1.57) and standard deviation of 0.41. An increasing temporal trend in transmissibility (, p-value: 0.013) during the period of our study was robust to the removal of high transmissibility outliers and to the removal of the smaller 20 MPZs. Our results demonstrate the utility of rapidly available – and consistent – data from multiple populations.

AB - Research continues to expose ethnic disparities in safety and health outcomes, making comparative studies of work-related factors that may explain these disparities increasingly important. Such studies raise issues about the cross-ethnic validity of the measures used to assess the factors of interest, such as safety climate. The current study is the first to examine the measurement equivalence of a multidimensional safety climate scale. A multi-group confirmatory factor analytic approach was used to assess the equivalence of the measure across White English-speaking, Hispanic English-speaking, and Hispanic Spanish-speaking construction workers. Results indicated that the same pattern of factors and equivalent factor loadings adequately represented the safety climate items across groups. However, other differences in item parameters were identified, including non-equivalence of some error variances and intercepts. This study highlights the importance of establishing measurement equivalence before proceeding with mean comparisons among groups. Future research should continue to investigate why differences in safety-related perceptions across ethnicities might exist.

In situ methods implemented in this study included fiber optic reflectance spectroscopy and x-ray fluorescence, as well as multispectral visible and near-infrared reflectance imaging spectroscopy and multispectral infrared reflectography. Imaging spectroscopy was used to map areas having similar diffuse reflectance spectra, and the site-specific methods were used to further identify the primary pigments present. This combined approach was used to examine an illumination by Lorenzo Monaco (ca. 1370-1422 or after) and his workshop on the Praying Prophet, in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC (NGA), from an early-15th-century gradual on parchment (codex H74) currently at the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence. The combination of the results along with microscopic examination led to a more complete understanding of the working methods used to create the Praying Prophet, including the primary pigments present and the two forms of underdrawing, ink and metalpoint. These results also allowed for a comparative examination of the primary pigments used in 13 other folios in codex H74. Multispectral infrared reflectography imaging and fiber optics reflectance spectroscopy confirmed that the primary pigments and preparatory drawing used in the NGA folio were consistent with those used in the other folios.

We evaluated forest structural information content using single-date Hyperion hyperspectral imagery collected over full-canopy oak-hickory forests in the Ozark National Forest, Arkansas, USA. Hyperion spectral derivatives were used to develop machine learning regression tree rule sets for predicting forest neighborhood percentile heights generated from near-coincident Leica Geosystems ALS50 small footprint light detection and ranging (LIDAR). The most successful spectral predictors of LIDAR-derived forest structure were also tested with basal area measured in situ. Based on the machine learning regression trees developed, Hyperion spectral derivatives were utilized to predict LIDAR forest neighborhood percentile heights with accuracies between 2.1 and 3.7 m RMSE. Understory predictions consistently resulted in the highest accuracy of 2.1 m RMSE. In contrast, hyperspectral prediction of basal area measured in situ was only found to be 6.5 m2/ha RMSE when the average basal area across the study area was ∼12 m2/ha. The results suggest, at a spatial resolution of 30 × 30 m, that orbital hyperspectral imagery alone can provide useful structural information related to vegetation height. Rapidly calibrated biophysical remote sensing techniques will facilitate timely assessment of regional forest conditions.

AB - The purpose of this study was to investigate whether worker-oriented job analysis importance ratings were influenced by subject matter experts’ (SME) standing (as measured by self-rated performance) on a competency. This type of relationship (whereby SMEs indicate that the traits they have are important for successful job performance) is an example of the self-serving bias (which is widely described in the social cognition literature and rarely described in the industrial/organizational psychology literature). An archival dataset covering 57 clerical and technical occupations with 26,682 participants was used. Support was found for the relationship between self-rated performance and importance ratings. Significant relationships (typically in the .30s) were observed for all 31 competencies that were studied. Controls were taken to account for common method bias and differences in the competencies required for each of the 57 occupations. Past research has demonstrated the effects of the self-serving bias on personality-based job analysis ratings. This study was the first to extend these findings to traditional job analysis, which covers other competencies in addition to personality. In addition, this study is the first to use operational field data instead of laboratory data.

JO - Journal of Geodesy JF - Journal of Geodesy Y1 - 2012/08// VL - 86 IS - 8 M3 - Article SP - 591 EP - 596 SN - 09497714 AB - The first North American Comparison of absolute gravimeters (NACAG-2010) was hosted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration at its newly renovated Table Mountain Geophysical Observatory (TMGO) north of Boulder, Colorado, in October 2010. NACAG-2010 and the renovation of TMGO are part of NGS's GRAV-D project (Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum). Nine absolute gravimeters from three countries participated in the comparison. Before the comparison, the gravimeter operators agreed to a protocol describing the strategy to measure, calculate, and present the results. Nine sites were used to measure the free-fall acceleration of g. Each gravimeter measured the value of g at a subset of three of the sites, for a total set of 27 g-values for the comparison. The absolute gravimeters agree with one another with a standard deviation of 1.6 μGal (1 Gal ≡ 1 cm s). The minimum and maximum offsets are −2.8 and 2.7 μGal. This is an excellent agreement and can be attributed to multiple factors, including gravimeters that were in good working order, good operators, a quiet observatory, and a short duration time for the experiment. These results can be used to standardize gravity surveys internationally.

JEV is transmitted in an enzootic cycle involving large wading birds as the reservoirs and swine as amplifying hosts. The development of a JEV vaccine reduced the number of JE cases in regions with comprehensive childhood vaccination programs, such as in Japan and the Republic of Korea. However, the lack of vaccine programs or insufficient coverage of populations in other endemic countries leaves many people susceptible to JEV. The aim of this study was to predict the distribution of Culex tritaeniorhynchus using ecological niche modeling. Methods/Principal Findings: An ecological niche model was constructed using the Maxent program to map the areas with suitable environmental conditions for the Cx. tritaeniorhynchus vector. Program input consisted of environmental data (temperature, elevation, rainfall) and known locations of vector presence resulting from an extensive literature search and records from MosquitoMap. The statistically significant Maxent model of the estimated probability of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus presence showed that the mean temperatures of the wettest quarter had the greatest impact on the model. Further, the majority of human Japanese encephalitis (JE) cases were located in regions with higher estimated probability of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus presence. Conclusions/Significance: Our ecological niche model of the estimated probability of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus presence provides a framework for better allocation of vector control resources, particularly in locations where JEV vaccinations are unavailable. Furthermore, this model provides estimates of vector probability that could improve vector surveillance programs and JE control efforts.

According to the report, programming language vulnerabilities should especially be avoided "in the development of systems where assured behavior is required for security, safety, mission critical and business critical software. [However], this guidance is applicable to the software developed, reviewed, or maintained for any application." This paper provides a brief summary of the ISO/IEC Technical Report.

Given a set of endmembers, the standard calculation of fractional abundances with constrained least squares typically identifies the spectra as combinations of most, if not all, endmembers. We assume instead that pixels are combinations of only a few endmembers, yielding abundance vectors that are sparse. We introduce sparse demixing (SD), which is a method that is similar to orthogonal matching pursuit, for calculating these sparse abundances. We demonstrate that SD outperforms an existing L^1 demixing algorithm, which we prove to depend adversely on the angles between endmembers. We combine SD with dictionary learning methods to calculate automatically endmembers for a provided set of spectra. Applying it to an airborne visible/infrared imaging spectrometer image of Cuprite, NV, yields endmembers that compare favorably with signatures from the USGS spectral library.

The spectral pixels are modeled by linear combinations of subspaces defined by the learned dictionary atoms, allowing for linear mixture analysis. This model provides flexibility in source representation and selection, thus accounting for spectral variability, small-magnitude errors, and noise. A spatial–spectral coherence regularizer in the optimization allows pixel classification to be influenced by similar neighbors. We extend the proposed approach for cases for which there is no knowledge of the materials in the scene, unsupervised classification, and provide experiments and comparisons with simulated and real data. We also present results when the data have been significantly undersampled and then reconstructed, still retaining high-performance classification, showing the potential role of compressive sensing and sparse modeling techniques in efficient acquisition/transmission missions for hyperspectral imagery.

In many cases selection of the most appropriate remedies or treatments for affected cultural resources must be made with either little advance notice or incomplete information. This research report describes how the application of remote sensing may be effectively integrated with wilderness research and management planning. For instance, magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar can rapidly acquire information (without excavation) about the size, depth, and distribution of anthropogenic features. Similarly, at the regional level, satellite images can be analyzed to achieve high rates of accuracy in the direct prediction of heritage resources in unsurveyed terrain. The decision-making implications of these applied remote-sensing studies are discussed with respect to allocating heritage-management funds for programmatic planning and cost-effectively acquiring cultural resource data from remote or inaccessible reaches of wilderness.

The author posits that improved understanding of schedule performance and better identification of program risks result when an IMP structure is evaluated in addition to the earned value managementmandated IMS WBS structure. The article examines how the "Hit-Miss" index, baseline execution index, and critical path length index (CPLI) were used to evaluate the life-cycle performance of a 12-month, 900-task IMP program event. CPLI, the author concludes, is subject to interpretation and must be evaluated against four caveats: duration remaining, total float including schedule margin, schedule compression, and schedule avoidance.

This growing conventional missile force provides Beijing an operational-tactical and strategic capability in theater without the political and practical constraints associated with nuclear-armed missiles. China's emerging inventory of conventional antiship ballistic missiles (ASBMs) affords its military an extra employment option enhancing its layered defense posture against potential offshore threats beyond Taiwan. The military's conventional missiles, operational doctrine, and threat perceptions create conditions for China's escalation to conventional missile attacks against U.S. or allied forces and bases in Asia, including ASBM strikes against U.S. Navy aircraft carriers in any hypothetical China-Taiwan conflict. China's senior leaders would be more likely to authorize such strikes if they endorse the missile force's perceptions of a severe threat to its operations from potential U.S. electronic warfare-based information operations and joint firepower attacks.

SN - 16155262 AB - Remote attestation is the activity of making a claim about properties of a target by supplying evidence to an appraiser over a network. We identify five central principles to guide development of attestation systems. We argue that (i) attestation must be able to deliver temporally fresh evidence; (ii) comprehensive information about the target should be accessible; (iii) the target, or its owner, should be able to constrain disclosure of information about the target; (iv) attestation claims should have explicit semantics to allow decisions to be derived from several claims; and (v) the underlying attestation mechanism must be trustworthy. We illustrate how to acquire evidence from a running system, and how to transport it via protocols to remote appraisers. We propose an architecture for attestation guided by these principles. Virtualized platforms, which are increasingly well supported on stock hardware, provide a natural basis for our attestation architecture.

Although several vaccine candidates are in various stages of development, there is no licensed vaccine available to assist in controlling the further spread of this mosquito borne disease. The need for a reliable animal model for dengue disease increases the risk to vaccine developers as they move their vaccine candidates into large-scale phase III testing. In this paper we describe the cellular immune responses observed in a human challenge model for dengue infection; a model that has the potential to provide efficacy data for potential vaccine candidates in a controlled setting. Serum levels of sIL-2Rα and sTNF-RII were increased in volunteers who developed illness. Supernatants from in vitro stimulated PBMC were tested for cytokines associated with a TH1 or TH2 T-cell response (IL-2, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, IL-5) and only IFN-γ was associated with protection against fever and/or viremia. Interestingly, IFN-γ levels drop to 0pg/mL for volunteers who develop illness after challenge suggesting that some mechanism of immunosuppression may play a role in dengue illness. The human challenge model provides an opportunity to test potential vaccine candidates for efficacy prior to large-scale phase III testing, and hints at a possible mechanism for immune suppression by dengue.

Given ηη > 0, the probability that the maximum of the pairwise GCDs lies between N2-- ηη and N2++ ηη converges to 1 as N →→ ∞∞. More precise estimates are obtained. This is a Birthday Problem: two of the random integers are likely to share some prime factor of order N2/log( N). The proof generalizes to any arithmetical semigroup where a suitable form of the prime number theorem is valid.

An initial, empirical assessment of the accuracy and characteristics of the GDEM was carried out using a globally-distributed sample dataset. Statistical and visual analyses of the GDEM, using known reference DEMs and ground control points (GCPs) for comparison, revealed a systematic bias in the ASTER GDEM elevations, higher average noise levels, and a lower effective ground resolution compared to the reference data, as well as numerous topographic artifacts and anomalies. The GDEM appears to meet its accuracy specifications when compared to the reference DEMs, but compared to the GCPs, some of the areas are questionable. In areas that lack good quality terrain data, the GDEM may prove useful, but must be used with care.

The Defense Intelligence Agency struggled with this question following the 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States. As a result, the Agency identified building and communicating knowledge as a core objective in its 2003 strategic plan. In this article, Adrian "Zeke" Wolfberg, director of the DIA's newly established Knowledge Lab, tells the story of how the Lab set the stage for culture change at the Agency using approaches such as Chris Argyris's left-hand/right-hand column activity for recognizing counterproductive conversational habits.

Briner & Denise M. Rousseau (see record [rid]2011-04912-002[/rid]). We agree with Briner and Rousseau that industrial-organizational (I-O) practice should use the best possible evidence and that empirical research findings should be more readily available. However, these claims do not address what for us are the real issues the authors raise: (a) What counts as 'evidence'? (b) what does it mean to say that practice is 'evidence-based'? and (c) what beyond evidence is needed? First, we applaud their expanded view of what should count as evidence, but the authors' proposed evidence-based practice seems unrealistic. Throughout their article is the assumption that evidence dictates practice. We agree that good evidence is necessary for good practice but disagree that it is sufficient. We believe that I-O practice would benefit from promoting an argument-based practice rather than one focusing exclusively on evidence, one where I-O practitioners engage and learn in practice settings by putting together their strongest cases for action and subjecting them to open debate and challenge. Finally, we reiterate our view that the role of evidence should be to provide the justification for claims that solutions will be effective and for taking specific courses of action. In doing so, we put evidence in its proper place, a place where it will do the most good: as a means and not an end.

This paper will provide an in depth discussion regarding increased weapons transfers and its adverse impact on the conflict in Sudan. Additionally, theoretical frameworks regarding the foreign policies of nation-states, power, and resource conflict will be utilized to analyze the Sudanese government's relationships with China, Russia and Iran as well as its relationship with the marginalized communities of the Sudan such as Darfur and the Nuba Mountains. Information has been provided to underscore the major players in the conflict, whereby Russia, Iran and China are considered culprits in the arms race in the area. Russia, China and Iran have continued to supply arms to Sudan despite the institution of a UN arms embargo in 2004. Although the weapons procurement chain in Sudan demands a comprehensive analysis of both state and non-state actors a close examination of its relationship with various nation-states such as China, Iran and Russia will provide a greater understanding of the economic and political environment that has contributed to the increase of weapons transfers which has adversely impacted internal and regional security.

Examples of these maneuvers include automated on-orbit inspection, assembly, or servicing. The proposed control algorithm combines the control effort efficiency of the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and the robust collision avoidance capability of the Artificial Potential Function (APF) method. The LQR control effort serves as the attractive force toward goal positions, while APF-based repulsive functions provide collision avoidance for both fixed and moving obstacles. Comprehensive validation and performance evaluation of the control algorithm is conducted by numerical simulations. The simulation results show the developed LQR/APF algorithm to be both robust and efficient for controlling multiple spacecraft during simultaneous docking maneuvers.

SN - 00931853 AB - The discovery of many cases of wrongful conviction in the criminal justice system involving admissions from innocent suspects has led psychologists to examine the factors contributing to false confessions. However, little systematic research has assessed the processes underlying Human Intelligence (HUMINT) interrogations relating to military and intelligence operations. The current article examines the similarities and differences between interrogations in criminal and HUMINT settings, and discusses the extent to which the current empirical literature can be applied to criminal and/or HUMINT interrogations. Finally, areas of future research are considered in light of the need for improving HUMINT interrogation.

T1 - Highly weathered mineralogy of select soils from Southeastern U.S. Coastal Plain and Piedmont landscapes JO - Geoderma JF - Geoderma Y1 - 2010/01/15/ VL - 154 IS - 3/4 M3 - Article SP - 447 EP - 456 SN - 00167061 AB - Abstract: Highly-weathered clay mineralogical suites of Southeastern (U.S.) soils, which are exemplified in portions of upland, well-drained environments of the Piedmont and Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain, consist of kaolinite, hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite, gibbsite, iron oxides, and to a lesser extent, quartz, halloysite and mica. The development of these mineral assemblages is often coincident with Ultisol formation in these landscapes. By Soil Taxonomy, these soils often have kandic horizons or are in subactive CEC activity classes. Hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite, a mineral considered to be pedogenic and ubiquitous within these systems, has been evaluated in past studies through depth distribution trends, thermodynamics-solubility, and alluvial chronosequences, to develop a more thorough understanding of mineral transformations and pedogenesis in these landscapes. The average formula for hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite developed from several regional studies (M+0.28(Si3.46Al0.54)(Al1.38Fe0.31Mg0.31)[(Al1.31(OH)3.35)]O10(OH)2) suggests the 1/2 cell layer charge to be approximately 0.85, with approximately 67% of the charge offset by non-exchangeable Al-hydroxy interlayers. Thermodynamic evaluations indicate a relatively more stable pedogenic environment for hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite in near-surface and eluvial environments (dependent on the degree of hydroxy-Al interlayer infilling), with a more stable environment for kaolinite in illuvial subsoils. This corresponds with observations of mineral distribution with depth in representative soils of the region, although other mechanisms and pathways, which have been elucidated through several studies, likely play a larger role. Quantification of mineral constituents in these systems faces challenges, but satisfactory results can be obtained using a variety of techniques. Deconvolution of thermal (DSC and TGA) output shows promise for quantifying discrete minerals that have overlapping temperatures of reactions. Chronosequence studies in the region have improved our understanding of the temporal state factor associated with the development of this mineralogy. For example, a study on the Tallapoosa River of Central Alabama illustrated the presence of vermiculite and smectite and the relative absence of hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite within the solum on Holocene terraces, but its presence on significantly older (Pleistocene) terraces. Another study evaluated 29 pedons on seven Alabama River terrace levels (late Pliocene to late Holocene) in Central and South Alabama, and found clay mineralogy on the oldest terrace levels was similar to adjacent upland Coastal Plain landscapes. The aggregate of findings indicate that given sufficient time in a leaching environment, highly weathered mineralogical suites form in a variety of landscapes in this region.

Evidence suggests that the identifying information for some of the sequences in these databases might not belong to the sequences they are associated with. We developed two tests to conduct a comprehensive analysis of all published sequences of the hemaglutinin and neuramidase genes of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) to identify sequences that may have been misclassified. One test identified sequence pairs with highly similar nucleotide sequences despite a difference of several years between their sampling dates. Another test, which was applied to samples sequenced and deposited more than once, detected sequences with more nucleotide differences to their own than to their closest relatives. All sequences identified as misclassified were further traced to relevant publications to assess the likelihood of contamination and determine if any conclusions were associated with the use of these sequences. Our results suggested that among 4040 published gene sequences examined, approximately 0.8% might be misclassified and that publications using these sequences may include inaccurate statements. Findings from this report suggest that using laboratory-adapted strains and handling multiple samples simultaneously increases the risk of contamination. The tests reported here may be useful for screening new submissions to public sequence databases.

Land and ice topography comes from the SRTM30 and ICESat topography, respectively. Ocean bathymetry is based on a new satellite-gravity model where the gravity-to-topography ratio is calibrated using 298 million edited soundings. The main contribution of this study is the compilation and editing of the raw soundings, which come from NOAA, individual scientists, SIO, NGA, JAMSTEC, IFREMER, GEBCO, and NAVOCEANO. The gridded bathymetry is available for ftp download in the same format as the 33 tiles of SRTM30 topography. There are 33 matching tiles of source identification number to convey the provenance of every grid cell. The raw sounding data, converted to a simple common format, are also available for ftp download.

Particular attention is paid to the perspective of U.S. engineers and the process of activating and operating unprecedented weapons by Western allies prompted by fear of aggression by the Soviet Union. The roots of Thor development are traced through meetings at the Office of Defense Mobilization's Scientific Advisory Committee in 1955. Details of the conception of the Emily Project and construction of the launch complex for deployment of the IRBMs in Yorkshire and East Anglia, England are provided.

Standard benchmarks such as the TREC, TPC, SPEC, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, Wisconsin, AS3AP, OO1, OO7, XOO7 benchmarks have been used to assess the system performance. These benchmarks are domain-specific and domain-dependent in that they model typical applications and tie to a problem domain. Test results from these benchmarks are estimates of possible system performance for certain pre-determined problem types. When the user domain differs from the standard problem domain or when the application workload is divergent from the standard workload, they do not provide an accurate way to measure the system performance of the user problem domain. System performance of the actual problem domain in terms of data and transactions may vary significantly from the standard benchmarks. In this research, we address the issue of generalization and precision of benchmark workload model for web search technology. The current performance measurement and evaluation method suffers from the rough estimate of system performance which varies widely when the problem domain changes. The performance results provided by the vendors cannot be reproduced nor reused in the real users’ environment. Hence, in this research, we tackle the issue of domain boundness and workload boundness which represents the root of the problem of imprecise, ir-representative, and ir-reproducible performance results. We address the issue by presenting a domain-independent and workload-independent workload model benchmark method which is developed from the perspective of the user requirements and generic constructs. We present a user-driven workload model to develop a benchmark in a process of workload requirements representation, transformation, and generation via the common carrier of generic constructs. We aim to create a more generalized and precise evaluation method which derives test suites from the actual user domain and application setting. The workload model benchmark method comprises three main components. They are a high-level workload specification scheme, a translator of the scheme, and a set of generators to generate the test database and the test suite. They are based on the generic constructs. The specification scheme is used to formalize the workload requirements. The translator is used to transform the specification. The generator is used to produce the test database and the test workload. We determine the generic constructs via the analysis of search methods. The generic constructs form a page model, a query model, and a control model in the workload model development. The page model describes the web page structure. The query model defines the logics to query the web. The control model defines the control variables to set up the experiments. In this study, we have conducted ten baseline research experiments to validate the feasibility and validity of the benchmark method. An experimental prototype is built to execute these experiments. Experimental results demonstrate that the method based on generic constructs and driven by the perspective of user requirements is capable of modeling the standard benchmarks as well as more general benchmark requirements.

The phylogenies of AIV genes from avian hosts usually separate into Eurasian and North American clades, reflecting limited bird migration between the hemispheres. However, mounting evidence that some H6 sequences from North America cluster with Eurasian subtype H6 sequences calls the strict hemispheric divide into question. We conducted a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the extent and timing of cross-hemisphere movements by the H6 gene. Results suggested that Eurasian H6 subtype has invaded North America several times, with the first invasions occurring 10 years before the first detection of invading isolates. The members of the North American clade decreased from 100% in the 1980s to 20% in the 2000s among H6 isolates from North America. Unraveling the reasons for this large-scale gene movement between hemispheres might identify drivers of global AIV circulation.

The relatively narrow wetland consists of mostly marshes surrounded by dry lands. In this study, we demonstrate the use of the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) Interferometric SAR (InSAR) to detect the changes of the Helmand River wetland water level. InSAR images are combined with the geocentric water level measurements from the retracked high-rate (18-Hz) Environmental Satellite (Envisat) radar altimetry to construct absolute water level changes over the marshes. It is demonstrated that the integration of the altimeter and InSAR can provide spatio-temporal measurements of water level variation over the Helmand River marshes where in situ measurements are absent.

AB - Hollenbeck (see record [rid]2010-13392-002[/rid]) notes the apparent failure of behavioral and organizational science to identify individuals who will have a reasonably high probability of success in executive leadership roles. He presents this as an opportunity for industrial–organizational (I–O) psychology to make substantive and more valued contributions to advance the state of the art and the role of I–O practitioners to meet what we agree is a clearly critical need. Our more radical view is that the concept of 'selection' itself needs reframing and that doing so makes the challenge of helping to ensure executive success tractable. Current practice treats selection as a static, one-time decision made by organization stakeholders. In contrast, we view selection as a dynamic, extended decision-making process involving both organization stakeholders and executives themselves as they sense, evaluate, and respond to information about how well the appointment meets expectations from their perspectives. Thus, we argue that developmental and ecological fit perspectives provide the theoretical foundation for all selection. Doing so shifts the fundamental emphasis of selection from 'getting it right' with a high-stakes guess to 'making it right' with effective person-to-role and person-to-organization fit management. Shifting the burden from selection to managing executive integration will reinforce the need for I–O and other practitioners to possess the consulting and problem-solving expertise clients really value. In the rest of this article, we use this executive fit management framework—an executive integration framework—to discuss and extend Hollenbeck's key assumptions, observations, and recommendations.

When asked about a proposal to restart the legacy production lines, Large says the NRO's ability to maintain its support level is at risk because of budget pressure. Large says he has confidence in Boeing's ability to develop the group of satellites called Future Imagery Architecture (FIA). He says the FIA program was structured and started in a way that makes it very difficult for anyone to succeed. KW - LARGE, Scott -- Interviews KW - UNITED States.

Copyright Statement: Public Domain AB - This introduction describes the origin of the idea for and the purpose of this special issue. For the past few years, there has been increasing discussion of the roles psychologists play in the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense (DOD). With few exceptions, not much of this discussion has been informed by those who do the actual work. The authors in this special issue, all of whom have extensive knowledge of and experience consulting in national security contexts, provide a sample of the wide range of consultation provided by psychologists serving in the IC and DOD. They provide some insight into the roles that consulting psychologists play in and the value that they provide to these communities. A discussion of the associated ethics and a model of complementarity between embedded and external consultants are also included.

Copyright Statement: Public Domain AB - In 2004, Congress created the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to enable the 16 independent government organizations that constitute the national intelligence mission to function as a single enterprise. The ODNI strategy to accomplish this transformation included the integration of personnel systems across these organizations. However, customary practices for obtaining and using personnel system and organizational consulting psychologists tend to undermine this goal by reinforcing existing fragmented and strategically misaligned human capital management systems. In this article, the authors describe and analyze the challenges confronting the organizational consulting field working in these settings and suggest ways in which the intelligence and consulting communities can collaborate to overcome these challenges and better serve the important mission of intelligence organizations.

AB - U.S. federal agency workforces are typically believed to epitomize equal opportunity and diversity. Yet, an analysis of employment data reveals that minorities are still underrepresented in senior government positions. The percentage of minority senior federal employees do not match the percentages of minorities in the general population or at lower levels of the civil service. Various programs can be adopted to ensure that diversity is embraced and that steps are taken to increase the representation of minorities across all levels of federal agency employment.

The uranium isotopics and certain stable isotopics, along with trace elemental concentrations, provide important information for making worthwhile statistical assessments of similar origins of yellowcake samples. Statistical review of chemical composition data was based on both cluster methods and principal component analysis. A comparison of sample grouping results obtained by both statistical techniques is presented for a series of yellowcake samples from reportedly three different routes of receipt.

As a result, the Society of Psychologists in Management (SPIM) has included key sessions on this topic on the agendas of their annual conferences. This article summarizes a session from the 2007 conference that included a keynote talk by John Cavanaugh, PhD, based on an article previously published in this journal (Cavanaugh, 2006) and his subsequent additional disaster preparation and response experience. The session also included a panel discussion that explored applying and adapting lessons learned from hurricane disasters to other types of disaster situations. Gilbert Reyes, PhD, was invited to participate on this panel because of his renowned expertise in international disaster planning and response. His four volume book on international disaster psychology (Reyes & Jacobs, 2005) provides a thorough discussion of this topic. Michael Gelles, PsyD, ABPP, was invited to participate on the panel because of the clarity with which he and a coauthor described preparing for and dealing with an organizational threat (Turner & Gelles, 2003) and because of his expertise in planning for and responding to terrorist events. Cathleen Civiello, PhD, ABPP, facilitated the panel because she, along with Drs. Gelles and Reyes, had presented an indepth institute on disaster and continuity of operations planning at the 2006 SPIM conference. Mary Zahner, PhD, played a significant role in identifying the critical lessons for psychologist managers included in this article.

According to the authors, global warming, tropical cyclone activity, and the increasing size of the U.S. coastal population have led to various societal concerns. Climate changes, West African monsoons, and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation are examined regarding their relation to rising sea temperatures. The authors conclude that research on oxygen isotopes in tree rings can provide insights into past tropical cyclone activity.

Despite the failure of the WMD mission to meet expectations after almost two years of intensive operations, the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) was able to integrate multinational and multi-agency forces to provide detailed intelligence regarding the history of Iraq's WMD programs and to assist in the battle against insurgents. The ISG's experience raises the question of whether a standing intelligence force could become a key component in future counterproliferation and counterterrorism efforts around the world.1 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Journal of Strategic Studies is the property of Routledge and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

First, what is the scope of the relationship among criminal organizations, terrorists, and insurgents? The analysis is drawn from theoretical approaches but also relies on government studies and open source reports. Second, how has the transitional period between post-conflict and reconstruction/nation-building created fertile ground for strengthening the criminal-terrorist-insurgent continuum? This is a particularly important issue as the Bush administration engages international organizations. Lastly, what can the United States and its Coalition allies do to mitigate the security challenges presented by the criminal-terrorist-insurgent problem in the these two countries?

Alternative futures incorporate high, moderate, and low growth rates, and baseline (current), moderately restrictive, and highly restrictive land use policies. Increases in employment are estimated using the IMPLAN regional economic model and translated into acreage requirements for commercial–institutional–industrial (CI&I) units and six types of housing units. Conversion of developable parcels to CI&I and housing units is based on a multiple-criteria score that measures the suitability of developable parcels for various developed uses. Additional jobs and housing units needed to support those jobs increase substantially, particularly for the moderate and high growth rates. Total acreage required for CI&I and housing units exceeds the acreage available for development for the baseline policy with the moderate and high growth rates, and for the moderately restrictive policy with high growth rates. There are no land shortages with any of the growth rates for the highly restrictive land use policy. Moderate and high growth can be sustained through 2024 in Flathead County by implementing a moderately restrictive land use policy if growth rates are moderate, and a highly restrictive land use policy if the growth rates are high.

Tainted toys and other products have made the American consumers on whom China relies wary even as the debt-and-deficit ridden American economy relies on China's massive foreign reserves to keep going. In the meantime, China's aggressive search for raw materials in Africa is causing a backlash while its cyberspying probes into Western defense systems are reviving Cold War-like tensions. The US treasury secretary, a top China expert and former intelligence officials offer their views.

These compromise measures allowed the military to use the parks for recreation, rehabilitation, training, and maneuvers, and in a few instances authorize some exploitive use of parks by timber, mining, and farming interests when necessary. Faced with wartime demands, the NPS was forced to articulate its purpose and mission as never before. As NPS leaders articulated their arguments, they developed and publicized several major themes: that park values were a valuable resource; that the NPS had a trust responsibility to protect the parks; and that the parks represented the restorative mad inspirational power of nature. Its vigorous campaign in defense of park values and resources, along with the willingness to compromise, played an important role in ensuring the preservation of irreplaceable park resources.

It is well known that on the standard model there is a sharp phase transition; the probability of satisfiability quickly drops as the number of clauses exceeds the number of variables. The location of this phase transition suggests that there is a direct connection between the appearance of a giant in the corresponding 2n-vertex graph and satisfiability. Here we show that the giant has nothing to do with satisfiability and that in fact the expected degree of a randomly chosen vertex is the important thing.

On the basis of T/P data during 1993?2003 (cycles 11?414), long-term variations inW0have been investigated. The rounded valueW0=? 62636856.0?? 0.5)m2s?2has already been adopted by the International Astronomical Union for the definition of the constantLG=?W0/c2=? 6.969290134 ?? 10?10(wherecis the speed of light), which is required for the realization of the relativistic atomic time scale. The constantLG, based on the above value ofW0, is also included in the 2003 International Earth Rotation and Reference Frames Service conventions. It has also been suggested thatW0is used to specify a global vertical reference system (GVRS).W0ensures the consistency with the International Terrestrial Reference System, i.e. after adoptingW0, along with the geocentric gravitational constant (GM), the Earth?s rotational velocity (?) and the second zonal geopotential coefficient (J2) as primary constants (parameters), then the ellipsoidal parameters (a,?) can be computed and adopted as derived parameters. The scale of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2000 (ITRF2000) has also been specified with the use ofW0to be consistent with the geocentric coordinate time. As an example of usingW0for a GVRS realization, the geopotential difference between the adoptedW0and the geopotential at the Rimouski tide-gauge point, specifying the North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88), has been estimated.

The proposed paper reframes the discussion of American strategic culture by drawing on specific research in cultural anthropology, group psychology, public opinion data, and the historical evolution of post-Cold War national security strategy. Three objectives are pursued: expanding understanding of the influences on and content of American strategic culture; revising existing arguments about how American culture shapes national strategy and foreign policy decisions; and, filling a gap in current writing about American strategic culture by linking key themes in post-Cold War foreign policy with historical trends concerning the use of force, preemption, military doctrine, and grand strategy. The paper is based in part on research for a forthcoming book on the evolution of American military strategy and defense planning since Vietnam. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] AB - Copyright of Conference Papers -- International Studies Association is the property of International Studies Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The term ‘feasible matching’ is introduced to describe a set of (transmitter, receiver) pairs for which there exists some set of transmit powers which can simultaneously meet the SINR requirements at the receivers. Given disjoint equally sized sets of transmitters and receivers, it is shown that when the SINR requirement at the receivers is greater than 1, no more than one feasible matching between the transmitters and the receivers exists. Sufficient conditions are provided under which certain broad classes of matchings in a network are guaranteed to be feasible; for example all matchings involving k or fewer links. The application of these results to ad hoc wireless networks and to scheduling is discussed.

Math. 12 (1962) 1099–1106] determines the parity of the number of irreducible factors of a binary trinomial. This paper does the same for a binary tetranomial. When phrased in terms of the periodic portion of the factor-parity sequence, the result in several cases is comparable in simplicity to Swan''s result for square-free trinomials.

JO - Monthly Weather Review JF - Monthly Weather Review Y1 - 2006/04// VL - 134 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 1102 EP - 1120 PB - American Meteorological Society SN - 00270644 AB - For applications such as windstorm underwriting or storm-surge forecasting, hurricane wind profiles are often approximated by continuous functions that are zero at the vortex center, increase to a maximum in the eyewall, and then decrease asymptotically to zero far from the center. Comparisons between the most commonly used functions and aircraft observations reveal systematic errors. Although winds near the peak are too strong, they decrease too rapidly with distance away from the peak. Pressure–wind relations for these profiles typically overestimate maximum winds. A promising alternative is a family of sectionally continuous profiles in which the wind increases as a power of radius inside the eye and decays exponentially outside the eye after a smooth polynomial transition across the eyewall. Based upon a sample of 493 observed profiles, the mean exponent for the power law is 0.79 and the mean decay length is 243 km. The database actually contains 606 aircraft sorties, but 113 of these failed quality-control screening. Hurricanes stronger than Saffir–Simpson category 2 often require two exponentials to match the observed rapid decrease of wind with radius just outside the eye and slower decrease farther away. Experimentation showed that a fixed value of 25 km was satisfactory for the faster decay length. The mean value of the slower decay length was 295 km. The mean contribution of the faster exponential to the outer profile was 0.10, but for the most intense hurricanes it sometimes exceeded 0.5. The power-law exponent and proportion of the faster decay length increased with maximum wind speed and decreased with latitude, whereas the slower decay length decreased with intensity and increased with latitude, consistent with the qualitative observation that more intense hurricanes in lower latitudes usually have more sharply peaked wind profiles.

JO - Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing JF - Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing Y1 - 2006/04// VL - 72 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 365 EP - 372 SN - 00991112 AB - Stereoscopic perception is a basic requirement for photogrammetric 3D measurement and accurate geospatial data collection. Ordinary stereoscopic techniques require operators wearing glasses or using eyepieces for interpretation and measurement. However, the recent emerging autostereoscopic technology makes it possible to eliminate this requirement. This paper studies the principles and implementation of autostereoscopic photogrammetric measurement and evaluates its performance. We first describe the principles and properties of the parallax barrier-based autostereoscopic display used in this study. As an important metric property, we quantitatively present the autostereoscopic geometry, including viewing zones and the boundary of a viewer's movement for autostereoscopic measurement. A toolkit AUTO3D is developed that has common photogrammetric functions. The implementation principles are described by addressing the differences compared to the ordinary stereoscopic technology. To evaluate the performance of the auto- stereoscopic measurement, images at a resolution of 25 µm and 50 µm are measured by a group of seven (7) operators, who are asked to digitize 18 well-defined roof points and 18 ground points. These results are evaluated by comparing the same measurements obtained from a popular stereoscopic photogrammetric workstation. It is shown that the precision of autostereoscopic measurement is about 16 percent to 25 percent lower than the conventional stereo workstation.

For example, we show that the query complexity of Minimum Spanning Tree is in Θ(n3/2) in the matrix model and in Θ(√nm) in the array model, while the complexity of Connectivity is also in Θ(n3/2) in the matrix model but in Θ(n) in the array model.

A key challenge was to develop and implement a business plan for the goal of becoming a knowledge organization. A set of operational principles were prepared and a set of programs was defined based on these principles. The DIA's program strategy of working with multiple small pilots as test beds while building an informational knowledge network showed similarities with underlying principles across organizations that are working at becoming networked and collaborative.

JPL processed the raw data &to unfinished DTED® 2 and other products that were delivered to two contractors of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The contractors edited the unfinished DTED® 2, updated the associated products, and generated finished products for distribution. Automated processes were developed by each contractor to identify, delineate and set heights for lakes, rivers, and ocean coastlines in conformance with an extensive set of editing rules created to maintain consistency and uniformity in the final products. The finished DTED® is significantly better than the 16 m vertical accuracy required by the original specification.

MILS is an architecture that makes development, accreditation, and deployment of multiple levels of security-capable systems more practical, achievable, and affordable. The MILS architecture significantly increases protection, reduces time to develop, and reduces schedule risk of deploying technology to provide high-assurance systems that are both safe and secure. While the MILS architecture allows for a system of highly secure distributed components, it does not automatically guarantee a secure composed system out of independent secure components. System-wide security is still up to the system designer with MILS providing the building blocks and tools needed to construct a system-level security policy that can then be verified. There are tools for assuring that security policies compose for a given system. MILS was created to enable application-level security engineering at a high level of assurance while being affordable. MILS takes advantage of Moore's Law's performance increases over the last two decades by layering small, formally modeled and mathematically verified components together to create a high-assurance foundation. In MILS, applications are empowered to enforce their own security policies instead of relying on generalized kernel security services.

Then we present the operational tracking network as well as the current state of the GLONASS constellation. Afterwards, we discuss in more detail the generation and consistency of current GLONASS precise orbits based on microwave and on laser tracking data. Later on the procedure for generating the more robust combined precise GLONASS orbits is explained, accompanied by information how all the IGLOS products can be accessed. Taking into consideration the upcoming GALILEO system, IGLOS can pave the way for handling data from a multi-system GNSS.

Fundamental to the techniques are the 1.6- and 2.2-μm shortwave infrared bands that are useful in distinguishing between absorbing snow cover (having low reflectance) and less absorbing liquid-phase clouds (higher reflectance). The 1.38-μm band helps to overcome ambiguities that arise in the case of optically thin cirrus. Designed to provide straightforward, stand-alone environmental characterization for operational forecasters (e.g., military weather forecasters in the context of mission planning), these products portray the information that is contained within complex scenes as value-added, readily interpretable imagery at the highest available spatial resolution. Their utility in scene characterization and quality control of digital snow maps is demonstrated.

JO - Annals of Applied Probability JF - Annals of Applied Probability Y1 - 2005/02// VL - 15 IS - 1A M3 - Article SP - 125 EP - 152 SN - 10505164 AB - The theme of this paper is the derivation of analytic formulae for certain large combinatorial structures. The formulae are obtained via fluid limits of pure jump-type Markov processes, established under simple conditions on the Laplace transforms of their Lévy kernels. Furthermore, a related Gaussian approximation allows us to describe the randomness which may persist in the limit when certain parameters take critical values. Our method is quite general, but is applied here to vertex identifiability in random hypergraphs. A vertex ν is identifiable in n steps if there is a hyperedge containing v all of whose other vertices are identifiable in fewer steps. We say that a hyperedge is identifiable if every one of its vertices is identifiable. Our analytic formulae describe the asymptotics of the number of identifiable vertices and the number of identifiable hyperedges for a Poisson(β) random hypergraph A on a set V of N vertices, in the limit as N → ∞. Here β is a formal power series with nonnegative coefficients β0, β1,..., and (Λ(A))A⊆V are independent Poisson random variables such that Λ(A), the number of hyperedges on A, has mean Nβj/(Nj) whenever |A| = J.

In some societies, these spatiotemporal perceptions play a major role in defining social order; in others, they provide undercurrents of dissention and social cleavages. This article explores how shifting aspects of spatial determinants influence policy behavior, particularly the influence of temporal intensification—the acceleration of social and political life. We argue that cultural aspects of space and time are dangerously underrepresented in military science and in studies of the cultural determinants of security policy. Especially in modem strategic planning, the expectation that military organizations can simultaneously compress time and control space influences the cultural as well as practical sides of the policy decision of when and how to use military force. After reviewing the rise of Western time orientations and current US military theory, the article explores aspects of military doctrines that unconsciously assign high priority to time dominance.

SAWABI stands for "Start Again With A Better Idea." It is important to understand that SAWABI covers a wide range of "starting over" activities, from a minor adjustment to a completely blank sheet. It doesn't always mean canceling an entire program, it could simply involve retooling a particular process or approach. The most interesting and relevant point is that each participant could have opted out at any time, but almost all stayed, even the grossly mistreated prisoners, until the experimenters called it off.

The polynomial has arisen recently in several different contexts, including the inverse Galois problem, difference sets, and Müller–Cohen–Matthews polynomials in characteristic 2. We prove f has exactly n rational roots, where n∈{0,1,2,Q+1} and F∩GF(q)=GF(Q). If F is finite then we find the exact number of a,b∈F× such that f has n rational roots, for each n. We also prove many arithmetic properties of f. For example, if F is finite and f has a rational root r, then f has exactly two rational roots if and only if NF/GF(Q)(r-1)≠1. The techniques rely on a detailed analysis of the splitting field and Galois group, together with frequent use of Hilbert''s Theorem 90.

The construction was conjectured by the second author at Oberwolfach in 1998. We also give a complete proof of related conjectures made by No, Chung and Yun and by No, Golomb, Gong, Lee and Gaal which produce another difference set for each m⩾7 not a multiple of 3. Our proofs exploit Fourier analysis on the additive group of GF(2m) and draw heavily on the theory of quadratic forms in characteristic 2. By-products of our results are a new class of bent functions and a new short proof of the exceptionality of the Müller–Cohen–Matthews polynomials. Furthermore, following the results of this paper, there are today no sporadic examples of difference sets with these parameters; i.e. every known such difference set belongs to a series given by a constructive theorem.

A turning point appeared in mid-October 2003 when U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's memo on the future of Iraqi operations surfaced. His musings about whether the U.S. forces were ready for protracted guerrilla warfare sparked widespread debate about the U.S. planning for counterinsurgency operations.

The successful commercial launches of the IKONOS, QuickBird, and OrbView-3 satellites in 1999, 2001, and 2003, respectively, combined with commercial airborne sensors such as the Positive Systems ADAR 5500 (multispectral), the Intermap STAR-3i (interferometric synthetic aperture radar), and TerraPoint, LLC, LIDAR System have ushered in an era of expanded capability and capacity for the field of remote sensing of our Earth. Remote sensing data from commercial sensors offer the public and private geospatial information communities important new sources of timely and accurate spatial information that can augment data provided by public-sector remote sensing systems. Several Federal agencies, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), have established data purchase programs and related activities to access, evaluate, and assimilate new commercial remote sensing products to serve research and operational requirements. Plans for future commercial systems and data products indicate an expanding set of data types using hyperspectral, radar, LIDAR, and microwave technologies. The availability of new data sources has established the basis for Federal programs to provide for systematic characterization of the products, consistent with the characterization of data products enabled by traditional sources that include Landsat, SPOT, and the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). An overview of commercial remote sensing initiatives within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the U.S. Department of the Interior, and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), and of their Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation (JACIE) team, illustrates these points, highlights lessons learned from these activities, and outlines recommendations for the future.

Let I⊂K[x] be the annihilator ideal of s. Since K[x] is a principal ideal domain, I=fK[x] for some polynomial f, which can be factored as f1⋯fr where the fi are coprime. Thus s can be uniquely written as a sum of sequences si having annihilator ideals Ii=fiK[x]. Furthermore, each fi is a power of an irreducible polynomial fi=(gi)ei. Each sequence si can be uniquely written as a ei-fold sum of pointwise products of a “binomial” sequence with a sequence annihilated by gi. Finally, a sequence annihilated by an irreducible polynomial gi is given by a trace formula. See, for instance, [N. Zierler, W.H. Mills, J. Algebra 27 (1973) 147–157]. We show that a completely analogous decomposition (which subsumes the 1-dimensional case) holds for n-dimensional linear recursive sequences, i.e., tableaus annihilated by zero-dimensional ideals of K[x1,…,xn].

We then developed a multiple-objective value model to communicate values, evaluate individual tasks, and develop higher value tasks. We used an optimization model to identify the best portfolio of tasks. The office used the models to identify the best tasks for its annual budget in 1998 and, with revisions, in the next two years.

Student groups made non-anonymous ratings of peer performance on two group tasks, and the ratings contributed to the students' course grades. Groups differentiated very little among peers in their performance ratings. Individuals in non-differentiating groups reported more positive distributive and procedural justice, satisfaction, and turnover intent than did individuals in differentiating groups. In differentiating groups, no differences in attitudes were found between individuals who were differentially rewarded or penalized for their performance. Implications for peer appraisal practice and future research are discussed.

AB - The area of executive coaching is gaining rapid interest in the field of organizational consultation. It has expanded beyond the role of helping an executive get back on track, to developing managerial skills and leadership development. Some of the potential benefits of executive coaching have not yet been fully utilized by many organizations in part due to cost. Resource constraints have made it difficult to implement executive coaching across a large group of managers in large organizations. This paper describes how one very large, geographically dispersed organization implemented a comprehensive coaching by proxy program through the use of in-house resources. The specific application content coaching was aimed at helping managers better utilize and benefit from organizational climate surveys.

This paper examines the strength and performance of virtual positions within an organizational setting. Access to US Air Force systems acquisition teams provided a unique opportunity to study the phenomenon for a large number of virtual positions in a stable setting, thereby controlling for the differing aspects of organizational structure that usually make such positions difficult to study. A measurement scheme for the strength of the virtual position is developed and validated. A hierarchical regression analysis of research constructs dealing with power, autonomy, allegiance, structure and performance confirms that stronger virtual positions perform better in complex rather than simple task situations. Finally, managerial implications are discussed.

Prescriptive models used to recommend improvements to networks usually use reliability or flow as the Measure Of Effectiveness (MOE). Such measures will not give value to efforts that make a network component more difficult to exploit. Similarly, Risk Assessment Models (Rams) are used to quantify the importance of a component to overall network performance (again measured in terms of reliability or flow) but do not prescribe improvement strategies. This study develops a prescriptive RAM that includes an MOE called invulnerability. This gives value to efforts that make a component more difficult to exploit. Results show that including the vulnerability MOE as a second criterion to complement the reliability MOE allows one to formulate component-hardening strategies. Furthermore, the Pareto-efficient frontier generated by trading off these two MOEs is very small. This helps to pinpoint specific components that should be improved or hardened for information security.

AB - Many firms have found that the benefits of interorganizational cooperation may be outweighed by costs arising from unintended leaks in product or process technology, market insight, and other knowledge-based assets to the alliance partner. Successful alliance management involves a process of designing, staffing, and monitoring the collaborative interface to balance the requirements for learning and information sharing with protection of intellectual capital. This work describes a framework for assessing and implementing this process.

The initiative included a chip for encryption, to be incorporated into telecommunications equipment, and a scheme under which secret encryption keys are escrowed with the government keys will be available to law enforcement others with legal authorization. The National Security Agency designed the system and the underlying cryptographic algorithm SKIPJACK, which is classified. Despite substantial negative comment, 10 months later the National Institute of Standards and Technology approved the Escrowed Encryption Standard as a voluntary federal standard for encryption of voice, fax and computer information transmitted over circuit-switched telephone systems. Law enforcement seeks continued access to criminals' communications. In order to compete in the global marketplace U.S. manufacturers want to include strong cryptography in their products. Yet national security interests dictate continued access to foreign intelligence.

There are five essential public sector characteristics which create greater opportunities for TQM experimentation and implementation in public sector and academic arenas: (1) Focus on improving the process, (2) Quality defined by customers, (3) People empowered to make decisions, (4) Decisions based on fact and (5) A long-term commitment to TQM by leadership. TQM can be implemented in both the public and private sectors, including the service and education areas. While the same principles apply in these areas, a different implementation strategy is often necessary to deal with contextual realities where developing measures may be more difficult. Also, the culture may be more difficult to change because public, government and education activities are generally older with more ingrained cultural elements. Perhaps the new paradigm for public administration will be to emphasize the totality of organizational productivity as well as the integrated totality of the theories of public administration under the mantle of TQM.

While these services were often in response to a citizen defined need, the customer was rarely involved in determining how the need was satisfied or measured. Special interest groups are demanding expanded services and describing both the form and characteristics of the service. They are also frequently evaluating the quality of the services provided and frequently defining measures of effectiveness that over time have become widely used and accepted. Frustrated with poor services, citizens as well as students are more active and vocal; they expect to be involved in defining the type of service provided and are willing to participate in determining the alternate processes. The public sector is a very political system, so decisions have been made based on political considerations as well as quantitative/qualitative data. While the culture seems comfortable with decisions based on a reasonable approach, efforts to increase analysis in government have only been moderately successful. One reason is that in many areas it is difficult to measure output. In addition, the government provides more services than products which are thought to be easier to measure. It is also the case that the public sector has taken many actions which are contrary to TQM philosophy.

This mapping work relates to an archaeological and historical research project focused on studying local and regional history, experimenting with nondestructive means of gaining information, and comparing field data with documented sources. While a vast corpus of contemporary maps was retrieved from French, British, Canadian, and American archives, these documents, drawn at various scales and for various purposes, exhibited such differences and planimetric skewing that they proved difficult to compare. Although initial studies of the available maps led to a general understanding of the fort's development, only with data from excavations and infrared studies and the application of computer-assisted cartography could the researchers determine actual building locations relative to the modern parade. The computer-assisted process also allowed depiction of remodeling phases of individual structures and enabled topological changes to be plotted. The decipherment of maps might be considered the initial step in an archaeological study of a historic site. Such cartographic studies were, however, more effective at Old Fort Niagara when excavation results and related infrared studies were used as supporting data for rescaling and realigning antique maps for comparative purposes.

AB - Conducted a field study to examine the effect of timing of leader opinions on group problem-solving performance. 19 university residence life teams, comprising 4–22 students each, were asked to solve 2 typical residence hall problems. Teams were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 experimental conditions in which leaders either (1) stated their opinions immediately after the presentation of the problem or (2) withheld their opinions until later in the discussion. As predicted, groups with leaders who delayed stating their opinions generated significantly more alternative solutions to the problems, and these alternatives were rated more feasible and more likely to be adopted.

The purpose of this study is to propose an objective methodology to characterize air masses at a given locale and to show that a holistic synoptic approach may provide better results than traditional statistical approaches in evaluating the impact of climate on sulfur dioxide concentrations. The relationships between individual weather variables and sulfur dioxide were weak when they were examined via stepwise multiple regression. The synoptic methodology, using principal components analysis and a clustering procedure. proved more informative. We were able to identify air mass categories exhibiting particularly high sulfur dioxide concentrations and synoptic scenarios of long duration contributing to severe concentration levels. Additionally, those air mass categories most strongly associated with low-level, pollution-inducing inversions were noted. The synoptic procedure should prove helpful in determining if long-term trends in concentration can be attributed to weather conditions or to changes in emissions.

Many African armies have reached a watershed in transition from the internal security-oriented forces of their colonial origins, becoming national armed forces with serious defense responsibilities. Available data indicate that African forces are growing in size, sophistication, and combat capability. Their capacity for waging war is improving, and this will have a significant impact on the frequency, scope, and character of African wars of the future. African armies are becoming more externally oriented, and regional military powers are developing. All these trends are changing the continent's military environment.

AB - Reviews a US Air Force battlefield stress management plan that uses mental health and social actions personnel to provide line consultation and stress management triage. Medical screening consists of recognizing environmental and medical factors in the separation of normal somatic and psychological reactions to battlefield stresses from abnormal ones. Treatment is offered through rest, a relief group, a trial at work, and, for most, a prompt return to duty. The principles of immediacy, proximity, and expectancy are used as guidelines for care and planning.

The authors report that in addition to training an effective armed forces, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) seeks to break down ethnic barriers among the population, prepare citizens for an ever-changing socio-economic climate, and ensure commitment to communist principles. The socialization process includes courses given by the Main Political Administration (MPA), immersion in the controlled military environment, and the encouragement of close friendships among comrades. The authors conclude that the Soviet political socialization program appears to be effective in producing citizens who are mature and loyal to the Soviet Union.

See Isa 69-034/y Y1 - 1967/// M3 - Book Chapter AB - In the intelligence field, mere collection, storage, and retrieval of facts do not lead to an accurate assessment of a situation which will follow. The facts must be correlated to provide the basis for valid inferences from circumstantial evidence. Nature of raw intelligence data (generally incomplete, contradictory, of varying accuracy, and often faked) and character of processing requirements (importance of random and rare events, wide variety of user requirements, severe time restrictions, etc.) are discussed. Complications unique to the field of intelligence processing are pointed out and illustrated by examples from world war ii. The introduction of computer technology into the processing of intelligence information will not help much if it only increases capabiliites to store and retrieve data. It should provide assistance to the human mind in formulating multiple hypotheses. Some requirements of such an approach are: (1) a query capability which permits the testing of hypotheses, (2) categorization of data as well as the discovery of connections between data, (3) data bases characterized not only be permanent but also by transient relationships, and (4) research into the kinds of events which are reasonably predictable on a probability basis.
