Techniques are described for analysis of LANDSAT multispectral using the LARSYS data processing system
Crop Identification Technology Assessment for Remote Sensing (CITARS)
The results of classifications and experiments performed for the Crop Identification Technology Assessment for Remote Sensing (CITARS) project are summarized. Fifteen data sets were classified using two analysis procedures. One procedure used class weights while the other assumed equal probabilities of occurrence for all classes. In addition, 20 data sets were classified using training statistics from another segment or date. The results of both the local and non-local classifications in terms of classification and proportion estimation are presented. Several additional experiments are described which were performed to provide additional understanding of the CITARS results. These experiments investigated alternative analysis procedures, training set selection and size, effects of multitemporal registration, the spectral discriminability of corn, soybeans, and other, and analysis of aircraft multispectral data

Visualization of the Digital Divide Among K-12 Students: Open Data, Quantitative Measures, and Policy Implications
Our work utilized a multi-disciplinary approach to assess the digital divide among K-12 students through socio-technical and economic analysis. Results show that access to high-speed internet (broadband) and use continued to be a challenge for children and schools located in disadvantaged communities. Three visualizations were developed to display the digital disparity at the county level across our country and to support decision-making in resource allocation to improve broadband access and utilization

Decay Rate of Triaxially-Deformed Proton Emitters
The decay rate of a triaxially-deformed proton emitter is calculated in a
particle-rotor model, which is based on a deformed Woods-Saxon potential and
includes a deformed spin-orbit interaction. The wave function of the
ground state of the deformed proton emitter Ho is obtained
in the adiabatic limit, and a Green's function technique is used to calculate
the decay rate and branching ratio to the first excited 2 state of the
daughter nucleus. Only for values of the triaxial angle
is good agreement obtained for both the total decay rate and the 2
branching ratio.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figure
Phase transition in the collisionless regime for wave-particle interaction
Gibbs statistical mechanics is derived for the Hamiltonian system coupling
self-consistently a wave to N particles. This identifies Landau damping with a
regime where a second order phase transition occurs. For nonequilibrium initial
data with warm particles, a critical initial wave intensity is found: above it,
thermodynamics predicts a finite wave amplitude in the limit of infinite N;
below it, the equilibrium amplitude vanishes. Simulations support these
predictions providing new insight on the long-time nonlinear fate of the wave
due to Landau damping in plasmas.Comment: 12 pages (RevTeX), 2 figures (PostScript
