Seafloor characterization using airborne hyperspectral co-registration procedures independent from attitude and positioning sensors

The advance of remote-sensing technology and data-storage capabilities has progressed in the last decade to commercial multi-sensor data collection. There is a constant need to characterize, quantify and monitor the coastal areas for habitat research and coastal management. In this paper, we present work on seafloor characterization that uses hyperspectral imagery (HSI). The HSI data allows the operator to extend seafloor characterization from multibeam backscatter towards land and thus creates a seamless ocean-to-land characterization of the littoral zone

Metadata and ontologies for organizing students’ memories and learning: standards and convergence models for context awareness

Este artículo trata de las ontologías que sirven para la comprensión en contexto y la Gestión de la Información Personal (PIM)y su aplicabilidad al proyecto Memex Metadata(M2). M2 es un proyecto de investigación de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Chapel Hill para mejorar la memoria digital de los alumnos utilizando tablet PC, la tecnología SenseCam de Microsoft y otras tecnologías móviles(p.ej. un dispositivo de GPS) para capturar el contexto del aprendizaje. Este artículo presenta el proyecto M2, dicute el concepto de los portafolios digitales en las actuales tendencias educativas, relacionándolos con las tecnologías emergentes, revisa las ontologías relevantes y su relación con el proyecto CAF (Context Awareness Framework), y concluye identificando las líneas de investigación futuras.This paper focuses on ontologies supporting context awareness and Personal Information Management (PIM) and their applicability in Memex Metadata (M2) project. M2 is a research project of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to improve student digital memories using the tablet PC, Microsoft’s SenseCam technology, and other mobile technologies (e.g., a GPS device) to capture context. The M2 project offers new opportunities studying students’ learning with digital technologies. This paper introduces the M2 project; discusses E-portfolios and current educational trends related to pervasive computing; reviews relevant ontologies and their relationship to the projects’ CAF (context awareness framework), and concludes by identifying future research directions

Expanding America's Capacity to Educate Nurses: Diverse, State-Level Partnerships Are Creating Promising Models and Results

Research & Strategic Partnerships: Quarterly Review, Volume 5, Issue 1

This issue of the Research Review highlights some of the research PSU faculty and students are exploring: How microplastics and chemicals used in forest management regimes affect species living in the state’s estuarine and nearshore environments; Whether we can store thermal energy generated during the summer months in saline aquifers deep below the region for use during the winter; How community partnerships at Southeast Portland’s Earl Boyles Elementary School can improve school readiness and achievement; How much food Oregonians waste and why; Historical patterns of housing discrimination in the city, and How to launch a nanosatellite that will support STEM education in Oregon classrooms. This issue also highlights the Oregon Center for Career Development in Childhood Care and Education, which works with roughly 24,000 childhood care and education practitioners, trainers, the state, and foundation partners to promote quality care and education for Oregon’s youngest residents and their families. Additionally, the magazine features profiles of PSU students who have received prestigious research fellowships from the NSF, as well as recent research news and stories from around campus.https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/rsp_quarterlyreview/1014/thumbnail.jp
