Summary The PASSCAL instrumentation performed very well in the Tibetan Plateau Seismic Experiment. This experiment has demonstrated the viability of recording high-quality broadband data at temporary sites in extreme environments. It also highlights some areas where further development is needed. Primarily, more effort is needed to develop more versatile triggering options for the PASSCAL instruments. Such developments could both increase the instrument's success at recording low magnitude teleseismic events for travel-time studies and save disk space when recording local events, thus further increasing the feasibility of long deployments in remote regions. Although the use of the PASSCAL instrument's calibration circuitry for sensor recentering is a valuable technique, more experience is needed in the construction of sensor pads to minimize tilt problems that require site visits to relevel the seismometer such as we experienced at a few sites in the winter. This may also lead to improved low-frequency noise levels, although signals with periods greater than 200 sec can be recovered from these sites. The most exciting aspect of the data we have collected is its broad frequency content and spatial density. We anticipate that this type of experiment will be increasingly useful in the study of lithospheric interactions as well as deep Earth structure. This data was delivered to the IRIS Data Management Center in early September 1993 and is available to the community. Two other broadband passive-seismic experiments, the Baikal Rift experiment (Gao et al. 1992) and the Rocky Mountain Front experiment (Sheehan et al. 1992) should be delivered to the IRIS DMC in the Fall of 1993 as well. Temporary broadband seismic experiments represent an extension of the permanent Global Seismic Network (GSN). We encourage the seismological community to incorporate these data into any research using GSN data in order to maximize the potential utility of this new mode of seismic recording.

This communication proposes the development by the PHM Society of a classification or taxonomy for the skills needed for the prognostics and health management (PHM) field. This taxonomy is a set of descriptors for each skill for a chosen range of competency levels: entry, working and mastery. This communication defines a structure and process to ensure application to real needs by employers, practitioners and training developers. Preliminary results of the development of Analytics, Test and Experiment Design and Cost Benefit Studies sub-domains within the PHM field are reported based on workshops at the PHM 2012 and 2013 Annual Conferences. Steps for a way forward are proposed and mechanisms for interested parties to participate are suggested. The PHM Society’s Education and Professional Development Committee would lead these efforts.

AbstractA widely used tool in studying quasi-monoperiodic processes is the O–C diagram. This paper deals with the application of this diagram in minor planet studies. The main difference between our approach and the classical O–C diagram is that we transform the epoch (=time) dependence into the geocentric longitude domain. We outline a rotation modelling using this modified O–C and illustrate the abilities with detailed error analysis. The primary assumption, that the monotonity and the shape of this diagram is (almost) independent of the geometry of the asteroids is discussed and tested. The monotonity enables an unambiguous distinction between the prograde and retrograde rotation, thus the four-fold (or in some cases the two-fold) ambiguities can be avoided. This turned out to be the main advantage of the O–C examination. As an extension to the theoretical work, we present some preliminary results on 1727 Mette based on new CCD observations.

AbstractThe records of sunspot number, sunspot areas and sunspot locations gathered over the centuries by various observatories are reanalysed with the aim of finding as yet undiscovered connections between the different parameters of the sunspot cycle and the butterfly diagram. Preliminary results of such interrelationships are presented.
