Central Data System Design for Scientific Solar Probes

Scientific solar probes (such as Pioneer) are aimed at mapping the radiation and particle fields of the solar corona. The central data system design must accorrn:nodate different instrument complements as mission assignments and emphasis change. Telemetry channel capacity is restricted by extreme range and practical limitations on antenna gain and transmitter power. Adaptive data sampling and telemetry formats, and sophisticated processing algorithms, which the experimenters have the option to use or not, are required to make efficient use of the available telemetry channel capacity. The central data system requires a stored program for mission-to-mission flexibility, and ultra-reliability to meet mission effectiveness standards. Ultra-reliability is obtained through the pooling of logical units in such a way that the failure of one unit does not disable the computer. A diagnostic program exercises the on-board data system. An on-ground computer program isolates the fault from telemetry information and reprograms the on- board computer around the fault via the command link. A system simulation model for the central data system of a scientific space probe has been designed and programmed. The goal is to define the basic and ancillary services that the central computer can provide the experimenters . Development of the simulation program has forced the designer to consider all aspects of the system in minute detail. The instrument complement assumed for the simulation consists of a triaxial magnetometer, cosmic ray telescope, neutron detector, radio propagation experiment, plasma probe, micrometeorite detector, and a VLF wave-particle experiment. Engineering data inputs are simulated and processed by the simulation program

New genera and species of batoid fishes

The trawling campaigns carried out by the research vessel ATLANTIS of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution along the north and south coasts of Cuba during the winter of 1938 and spring of 1939, under the joint auspices of the University of Havana and of Harvard University, brought to light along the 200-500 fathom zone an abundant population of small skates (Family Rajidae), the existence of which had not previously been suspected there...

Development of an Ultrasonic Method to Detect Cervical Remodeling in Vivo in Full-Term Pregnant Women

The objective of this study was to determine whether estimates of ultrasonic attenuation could detect changes in the cervix associated with medically induced cervical remodeling. Thirty-six full-term pregnant women underwent two transvaginal ultrasonic examinations separated in time by 12 h to determine cervical attenuation, cervical length and changes thereof. Ultrasonic attenuation and cervical length data were acquired from a zone (Zonare Medical Systems, Mountain View, CA, USA) ultrasound system using a 5–9 MHz endovaginal probe. Cervical attenuation and cervical length significantly decreased in the 12 h between the pre-cervical ripening time point and 12 h later. The mean cervical attenuation was 1.1 ± 0.4 dB/cm-MHz before cervical ripening agents were used and 0.8 ± 0.4 dB/cm-MHz 12 h later (p \u3c 0.0001). The mean cervical length also decreased from 3.1 ± 0.9 cm before the cervical ripening was administered to 2.0 ± 1.1 cm 12 h later (p \u3c 0.0001). Cervical attenuation and cervical length detected changes in cervical remodeling 12 h after cervical ripening administration

Beyond Cervical Length: A Pilot Study of Ultrasonic Attenuation for Early Detection of Preterm Birth Risk

The purpose of this study was to determine whether cervical ultrasonic attenuation could identify women at risk of spontaneous preterm birth. During pregnancy, women (n = 67) underwent from one to five transvaginal ultrasonic examinations to estimate cervical ultrasonic attenuation and cervical length. Ultrasonic data were obtained with a Zonare ultrasound system with a 5- to 9-MHz endovaginal transducer and processed offline. Cervical ultrasonic attenuation was lower at 17–21 wk of gestation in the SPTB group (1.02 dB/cm-MHz) than in the full-term birth groups (1.34 dB/cm-MHz) (p = 0.04). Cervical length was shorter (3.16 cm) at 22–26 wk in the SPTB group than in the women delivering full term (3.68 cm) (p = 0.004); cervical attenuation was not significantly different at this time point. These findings suggest that low attenuation may be an additional early cervical marker to identify women at risk for SPTB

Using productivity and susceptibility indices to assess the vulnerability of United States fish stocks to overfishing

Assessing the vulnerability of stocks to fishing practices in U.S. federal waters was recently highlighted by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as an important factor to consider when 1) identifying stocks that should be managed and protected under a fishery management plan; 2) grouping data-poor stocks into relevant management complexes; and 3) developing precautionary harvest control rules. To assist the regional fishery management councils in determining vulnerability, NMFS elected to use a modified version of a productivity and susceptibility analysis (PSA) because it can be based on qualitative data, has a history of use in other fisheries, and is recommended by several organizations as a reasonable approach for evaluating risk. A number of productivity and susceptibility attributes for a stock are used in a PSA and from these attributes, index scores and measures of uncertainty are computed and graphically displayed. To demonstrate the utility of the resulting vulnerability evaluation, we evaluated six U.S. fisheries targeting 162 stocks that exhibited varying degrees of productivity and susceptibility, and for which data quality varied. Overall, the PSA was capable of differentiating the vulnerability of stocks along the gradient of susceptibility and productivity indices, although fixed thresholds separating low-, moderate-, and highly vulnerable species were not observed. The PSA can be used as a flexible tool that can incorporate regional-specific information on fishery and management activity
