    Is the use ortofotomaps and GNSS position determination system ROMPOS, project management of mine closures, the current concern to policy makers in the county of Maramures. In making decisions on mine closure project management can use GNSS positioning systems positioning and target areas ortofotomaps scale 1:1000, 1:2000 or 1:5000. Good decisions in drafting mine closures has to their conservation and environmental protection, and can be more easily taken knowingly when using ortofotomaps and GNSS positioning systems ROMPOS with Information Systems Geographic, which are indispensable in all fields, and particularly in developing these projects. presented previously are parts of GNSS positioning system ROMPOS, its use in decision making on projects of mine closures and benefits arising from this use in this area. In the final draw general conclusions and specific to look at using GNSS positioning systems ROMPOS ortofotomaps position determination and decision making on projects of mine closures, but the usefulness and speed in making decision systems using these relatively new in Romania, and especially in Maramures count

    Some remarks on a model for rate-independent damage in thermo-visco-elastodynamics

    This note deals with the analysis of a model for partial damage, where the rate- independent, unidirectional flow rule for the damage variable is coupled with the rate-dependent heat equation, and with the momentum balance featuring inertia and viscosity according to Kelvin-Voigt rheology. The results presented here combine the approach from Roubicek [1, 2] with the methods from Lazzaroni/Rossi/Thomas/Toader [3]. The present analysis encompasses, differently from [2], the monotonicity in time of damage and the dependence of the viscous tensor on damage and temperature, and, unlike [3], a nonconstant heat capacity and a time-dependent Dirichlet loading

    Observation of A Kilogram-Scale Oscillator Near Its Quantum Ground State

    We introduce a novel cooling technique capable of approaching the quantum ground state of a kilogram-scale system-an interferometric gravitational wave detector. The detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) operate within a factor of 10 of the standard quantum limit (SQL), providing a displacement sensitivity of 10-18 m in a 100 Hz band centered on 150 Hz. With a new feedback strategy, we dynamically shift the resonant frequency of a 2.7 kg pendulum mode to lie within this optimal band, where its effective temperature falls as low as 1.4μK, and its occupation number reaches about 200 quanta. This work shows how the exquisite sensitivity necessary to detect gravitational waves can be made available to probe the validity of quantum mechanics on an enormous mass scale

    Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Binary Coalescences In the First Year of LIGO\u27s S5 Data

    We have searched for gravitational waves from coalescing low mass compact binary systems with a total mass between 2M and 35 and a minimum component mass of 1M using data from the first year of the fifth science run of the three LIGO detectors, operating at design sensitivity. Depending on the mass, we are sensitive to coalescences as far as 150Mpc from the Earth. No gravitational-wave signals were observed above the expected background. Assuming a population of compact binary objects with a Gaussian mass distribution representing binary neutron star systems, black hole-neutron star binary systems, and binary black hole systems, we calculate the 90% confidence upper limit on the rate of coalescences to be 3.9×10-2yr-1L10-1, 1.1×10-2yr-1L10-1, and 2.5×10-3yr-1L10-1, respectively, where L10 is 1010 times the blue solar luminosity. We also set improved upper limits on the rate of compact binary coalescences per unit blue-light luminosity, as a function of mass

    Search for High Frequency Gravitational-Wave Bursts In the First Calendar Year of LIGO\u27s Fifth Science Run

    Get PDF
    We present an all-sky search for gravitational waves in the frequency range 1 to 6 kHz during the first calendar year of LIGO\u27s fifth science run. This is the first untriggered LIGO burst analysis to be conducted above 3 kHz. We discuss the unique properties of interferometric data in this regime. 161.3 days of triple-coincident data were analyzed. No gravitational events above threshold were observed and a frequentist upper limit of 5.4year-1 on the rate of strong gravitational-wave bursts was placed at a 90% confidence level. Implications for specific theoretical models of gravitational-wave emission are also discussed
