On-Orbit Verification of GLM Navigation on GOES-16

The GOES-R flight project has developed the Image Navigation and Registration (INR) Performance Assessment Tool Set (IPATS) to perform independent INR evaluations of the optical instruments on the GOES-R series spacecraft. In this presentation, we document the development of navigation (NAV) evaluation capabilities within IPATS for the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). We also discuss the post-processing quality filtering developed for GLM NAV, and present example results for several GLM background image datasets. Initial results suggest that GOES-16 GLM is compliant with navigation requirements

Risk factors for the detection of Salmonella in ileocolic lymph nodes in US slaughtered pigs.

Salmonella harborage at slaughter can be viewed as a nsk for human health through contammation of the pork food cham. Better understanding of herd level factors associated with this harborage would be useful to prioritize further study of epidemiology and control of Salmonella in pork production. Ileocolic lymph node samples collected at slaughter from 115 Midwest US sw1ne herds were assayed for Salmonella entenca. A subset of these herds was collected sequentially one or two additional times. Herd characteristics and management factors were assessed by a written survey. Risk factors were screened at the univariate level (p \u3c 0.3), then offered for Inclusion by stepw1se analysis including herd I sample as a random statistical effect. Pigs at increased risk of Salmonella harborage at slaughter included those placed in finisher barns at heaver weights (OR 1.2 per 10 kg Increased we1ght), those from larger herds (OR 2 0 comparing upper quintile to lower quintile of herd size), those from herds that allowed VISitors w1th recent (\u3c8 h) contact with other herds (OR 2.2), or those fed pelleted feeds (OR 2.1 ). Further invest1gat1on of these risk factors and potential biological mechanisms will requ1re further study

A Finite Difference Solver for the D-bar Equation

A finite difference scheme is introduced to solve the D-bar equation. The D-bar equation arises in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) when using the complex geometrical optics solutions to recover the conductivity within a body. This scheme is second-order and is first used on a test equation for error analysis and then used to reconstruct EIT images using the D-bar method
