Sulfur reduction in sediments of marine and evaporite environments
Transformations of sulfur in sediments of ponds ranging in salinities from that of normal seawater to those of brines saturated with sodium chloride were examined. The chemistry of the sediment and pore waters were focused on with emphasis on the fate of sulfate reduction. The effects of increasing salinity on both forms of sulfur and microbial activity were determined. A unique set of chemical profiles and sulfate-reducing activity was found for the sediments of each of the sites examined. The quantity of organic matter in the salt pond sediments was significantly greater than that occurring in the adjacent intertidal site. The total quantitative and qualitative distribution of volatile fatty acids was also greater in the salt ponds. Volatile fatty acids increased with salinity
Reprocessing of legacy seismic reflection profile data and its implications for plate flexure in the vicinity of the Hawaiian islands
During 1975–1988, an academic research ship, R/V Robert D. Conrad, acquired more than 150,000-line-km of multichannel seismic reflection profile data from each of the world's main ocean basins and their margins. This extensive legacy seismic data set, which involved both single ship and two-ship data acquisition, has been widely used by the marine geoscience community. We report on our experience in reprocessing seismic reflection profile data acquired during Conrad cruise RC2308 to the Hawaiian Islands region in August/September 1982. We show that the application of modern, industry standard processing techniques, including filtering, de-bubble, deconvolution, and migration, can significantly enhance 40+ year old legacy seismic reflection profile data. The reprocessed data reveals more precisely, and with much less scatter, the flexure of Cretaceous Pacific oceanic crust caused by the Pliocene-Recent volcanic loads that comprise the Hawaiian Islands. A comparison of observed picks of top oceanic crust which has been corrected for the Hawaiian swell and the Molokai Fracture Zone with the calculations of a simple 3-dimensional elastic plate (flexure) model reveals a best fit elastic plate thickness of the lithosphere, Te, of 26.7 km, an average infill density of 2,701 kg m−3, and a Root Mean Square difference between observations and calculations of 305 m. Tests show these results depend weakly on the load density assumed and that the average infill density is close to what would be predicted from an arithmetic average of the flanking moat infill density and the infill density that immediately underlies the volcanic edifice

An Analysis of the Telecommunication Performance of a Data Relay Satellite System
The Data-Relay Satellite System (DRSS) has been proposed as a means of providing a communication capability between a number of earth-orbiting space vehicles and the Mission Control Center- Houston (MCC-H) using earth-orbiting synchronous satellites as relay devices. The purpose of this paper is to report the investigation of the performance characteristics of the relay system and to determine the expected communications capabilities of the DRSS operating with Apollo spacecraft systems and with an advanced spacecraft-systems concept.
When the DRSS is used with the spacecraft high-gain antenna (Apollo or modified spacecraft), positive circuit margins can be expected for all up-link and down-link, pulse modulated (PM) modes, which include pseudorandom noise (PRN) ranging, telemetry, and voice. Wideband frequency modulated (FM) modes (television or 1-Mbps data dump) have positive circuit margins for the modified spacecraft system configuration; however, only marginal performance can be expected with the Apollo system
Chisel: Reliability- and Accuracy-Aware Optimization of Approximate Computational Kernels
The accuracy of an approximate computation is the distance between the result that the computation produces and the corresponding fully accurate result. The reliability of the computation is the probability that it will produce an acceptably accurate result. Emerging approximate hardware platforms provide approximate operations that, in return for reduced energy consumption and/or increased performance, exhibit reduced reliability and/or accuracy.
We present Chisel, a system for reliability- and accuracy-aware optimization of approximate computational kernels that run on approximate hardware platforms. Given a combined reliability and/or accuracy specification, Chisel automatically selects approximate kernel operations to synthesize an approximate computation that minimizes energy consumption while satisfying its reliability and accuracy specification.
We evaluate Chisel on five applications from the image processing, scientific computing, and financial analysis domains. The experimental results show that our implemented optimization algorithm enables Chisel to optimize our set of benchmark kernels to obtain energy savings from 8.7% to 19.8% compared to the fully reliable kernel implementations while preserving important reliability guarantees.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant CCF-1036241)National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant CCF-1138967)National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant IIS-0835652)United States.

Beyond summative evaluation: The Instructional Quality Assessment as a professional development tool
In order to improve students' opportunities to learn, educators need tools that can assist them to reflect on and analyze their own and others' teaching practice. Many available observation tools and protocols for studying student work are inadequate because they do not directly engage educators in core issues about rigorous content and pedagogy. In this conceptual paper, we argue that the Instructional Quality Assessment (IQA)--a formal toolkit for rating instructional quality that is based primarily on classroom observations and student assignments--has strong potential to support professional development within schools at multiple levels. We argue that the IQA could be useful to "teachers" for analyzing their own and their colleagues' practice; additionally, the IQA could aid the efforts of "principals" in their work as instructional leaders, identifying effective practitioners to help lead professional development within a school and targeting professional development needs that would require external support. Although the IQA was designed for summative, external evaluation, we argue that the steps taken to improve the reliability of the instrument--particularly the efforts to make the rubric descriptors for gradations of instructional quality as transparent as possible--also serve to make the tool a resource for professional growth among educators.

Annual Progress Report, Study of Dynamic Rigidity of Marine Sediments
The report is divided into two tasks with each task summary being prepared by the principal investigators of that task. Task 1 includes a study of the dynamic rigidity, acoustic, and other engineering properties of marine sediments. Task 2 covers a study of upper ocean turbulence as related to acoustic measurements.
