The Use of Small Scale Aerial Photography in a Regional Agricultural Survey

The feasibility of performing inventories of agricultural resources using very small scale aerial or space photography has been investigated. Results to date are encouraging on two counts: (1) the questions posed initially are being answered, and (2) it would seem that a fully operational agricultural inventory using very small scale photography is not beyond the scope of present technology. The biggest problems to be faced in establishing a functional inventory system are those concerning logistics and data handling

Agricultural applications of ERTS-1 data

In an attempt to evaluate the usefulness of ERTS imagery for the production of land use stratifications as a preliminary step in the crop inventory process, all land within San Joaquin County was delineated into broad land use and crop category classes based on their appearance on the ERTS-1 Color composite image. The stratification of the agricultural land use categories proved to be a relatively simple task, taking each of three interpreters approximately 30 minutes to complete. The three interpretations were quite similar requiring only minor revisions to produce a consensus stratification. A total of 13 different agricultural strata were recognized, differing both in general field size and relative proportions of crop types and degree of irrigation. Upon comparing these interpretations, it was concluded that nearly all boundaries were truly representative of differing cropping practices. In a number of cases, the stratifications agreed almost exactly with soil type boundaries as drawn by earlier soils surveys

Urban Garden Internship at the Dayton Foodbank

STEP Category: InternshipsThis past Summer I interned at the Dayton Foodbank. My summer was primarily spent in the Foodbank’s urban garden. In addition to working alongside the Garden Manager on maintaining the garden, I gathered educational resources to be used for when school aged groups visit the garden. I co-led hands on activities for a group of preschool kids weekly in July and August. I also assisted in the planting and harvesting of produce as well as aided in special garden projects.The Ohio State University Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP)Academic Major: Public Healt

Superfluidity in a Doped Helium Droplet

Path Integral Monte Carlo calculations of the superfluid density throughout ^4He droplets doped with linear impurities (HCN)_n are presented. After deriving a local estimator for the superfluid density distribution, we find a decreased superfluid response in the first solvation layer. This effective normal fluid exhibits temperature dependence similar to that of a two-dimensional helium system.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure

Facebook : friend or foe

Facebook is an online social networking site that is growing with popularity daily. Due to the current lack of research on this social network the researcher has proposed the following study. This study would survey three populations: high school students, college students, and community members. Areas of interest are: communication, miscommunication, self-esteem, introversion, extroversion, friendships, long distance relationships, and closure
