Automatic Data Acquisition

AbstractA PDF 15/40 computer wich ADC and CAMAC interfaces is used to control data collection apparatus, acquire data, and reduce data to determine the elemental composition of aerosol samples. The background is subtracted from each energy spectrum, peak centers are located automatically using a Gaussian correlation technique, peak multiplets are resolved with Gaussian fits, peak energies are compared with entries in a table of x-ray lines for possible identification, multiple identification of peaks and line interferences are resolved, and the elemental amounts are determined from the areas of the Gaussian fits.

Abstract. Tomographic methods offer a new promise for retrieving three-dimensional distributions of cloud liquid water from path-integrated radiometric measurements by passive sensors. A mobile cloud tomography system using only a single scanning microwave radiometer has many advantages over a fixed system using multiple distinctly-located radiometers, e.g., efficient and flexible data collection. Part 1 (this paper) examines the results from a limited cloud tomography trial carried out during the 2003 AMSR-E validation campaign at Wakasa Bay of the Sea of Japan. During the tomographic test, the Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR) and Microwave Imaging Radiometer (MIR) aboard the NASA P-3 research aircraft scanned through a system of low-level clouds and thus provided a useful dataset for testing the cloud tomography method. We conduct three retrieval runs with a constrained inversion algorithm using, respectively the PSR, MIR, and combined PSR and MSR data. The liquid water paths calculated from the PSR retrieval are consistent with that from the MIR retrieval. The retrieved cloud field based on the combined data appears to be physically plausible and consistent with the cloud image obtained by a cloud radar. It is unfortunate that there were no in-situ cloud measurements during the experiment that can be used to quantitatively validate the tomographic retrievals. Nevertheless, we find that some vertically-uniform clouds appear at high altitudes in the retrieved fields where the radar image shows clear sky. This is likely due to flawed data collection geometry, which, in turn, is determined by the radiometer scan strategy, and aircraft altitude and moving speed. This sets the stage for Part 2 of this study that aims at possible improvements of the mobile cloud tomography approach by a group of sensitivity studies using observation system simulation experiments.

And Performance

Demographic maps can present statistical data on demographic education levels, population stages, family stages, education levels, age, and number of lives in families based on participation in the National Health Insurance (JKN). Where every Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) in West Bandung Regency that requires population control data needs a data integration and performance optimization, so that in each Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) in work there is no more duplication of work. In this study, it is expected to be able to map all information about population control data to help the community and Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) in West Bandung Regency in order to obtain information clearly from population control data based on the results of family data collection which will make it easier for Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) related in order to help the entire community in West Bandung Regency. In this case a solution will be made by utilizing the QGIS application in solving problems where for population control maps can be integrated in the Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) in West Bandung Regency.

Successful Students

The researcher was a participant observer in a university class on fitness and weight control. Data collection procedures included questionnaires, observations, and interviews as well as access to physical performance information collected as part of the class. Results indicated that approximately half of the enrolled students were overweight, and that lean and heavy students had different expectations for the course. Four patterns of student participation emerged: serious runners, serious walkers, social interactors, and absentees. In general, the more successful students were lean and fit, while the class was not as effective in changing the exercise patterns of those who were less fit. The course seemed to be based on a technical-rational view which assumes that information will change behavior. In contrast, student reactions seemed to reflect a subjective-affective view that behavior is influenced by emotions and perceptions.

Abstract. Tomographic methods offer great potential for retrieving three-dimensional spatial distributions of cloud liquid water from radiometric observations by passive microwave sensors. Fixed tomographic systems require multiple radiometers, while mobile systems can use just a single radiometer. Part 1 (this paper) examines the results from a limited cloud tomography trial with a single-radiometer airborne system carried out as part of the 2003 AMSR-E validation campaign over Wakasa Bay of the Sea of Japan. During this trial, the Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR) and Microwave Imaging Radiometer (MIR) aboard the NASA P-3 research aircraft provided a useful dataset for testing the cloud tomography method over a system of low-level clouds. We do tomographic retrievals with a constrained inversion algorithm using three configurations: PSR, MIR, and combined PSR and MIR data. The liquid water paths from the PSR retrieval are consistent with those from the MIR retrieval. The retrieved cloud field based on the combined data appears to be physically plausible and consistent with the cloud image obtained by a cloud radar. We find that some vertically-uniform clouds appear at high altitudes in the retrieved field where the radar shows clear sky. This is likely due to the sub-optimal data collection strategy. This sets the stage for Part 2 of this study that aims to define optimal data collection strategies using observation system simulation experiments.
