Strategic guide to natural disaster planning, preparedness, response and recovery for Naval Supply Center, Oakland, California
The Specific goal of this thesis is to provide a strategic guide which can be used as a basis by Naval Supply Center (NSC), Oakland, California to formulate a natural disaster planning, preparedness, response and recovery program. The objective of such a aprogram is to reduce the amount of damage caused by a natural disaster, enable effective response to a disaster and facilitate recovery. The plan must be consistent with the supply center's priorities and be within budget limitations. Further, the plan must address additional areas such as supporting other defense activities and reponding to taskings from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).http://archive.org/details/strategicguideto1094527772Lieutenant Commander, United States NavyLieutenant, United States NavyApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited

A High-Resolution Atlas of Uranium-Neon in the H Band
We present a high-resolution (R ~ 50 000) atlas of a uranium-neon (U/Ne)
hollow-cathode spectrum in the H-band (1454 nm to 1638 nm) for the calibration
of near-infrared spectrographs. We obtained this U/Ne spectrum simultaneously
with a laser-frequency comb spectrum, which we used to provide a first-order
calibration to the U/Ne spectrum. We then calibrated the U/Ne spectrum using
the recently-published uranium line list of Redman et al. (2011), which is
derived from high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer measurements. These
two independent calibrations allowed us to easily identify emission lines in
the hollow cathode lamp that do not correspond to known (classified) lines of
either uranium or neon, and to compare the achievable precision of each source.
Our frequency comb precision was limited by modal noise and detector effects,
while the U/Ne precision was limited primarily by the signal-to-noise ratio
(S/N) of the observed emission lines and our ability to model blended lines.
The standard deviation in the dispersion solution residuals from the
S/N-limited U/Ne hollow cathode lamp were 50% larger than the standard
deviation of the dispersion solution residuals from the modal-noise-limited
laser frequency comb. We advocate the use of U/Ne lamps for precision
calibration of near-infrared spectrographs, and this H-band atlas makes these
lamps significantly easier to use for wavelength calibration.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures, submitted and accepted in ApJSS. Online-only

The Infrared Spectrum of Uranium Hollow Cathode Lamps from 850 nm to 4000 nm: Wavenumbers and Line Identifications from Fourier Transform Spectra
We provide new measurements of wavenumbers and line identifications of 10 100
UI and UII near-infrared (NIR) emission lines between 2500 cm-1 and 12 000 cm-1
(4000 nm to 850 nm) using archival FTS spectra from the National Solar
Observatory (NSO). This line list includes isolated uranium lines in the Y, J,
H, K, and L bands (0.9 {\mu}m to 1.1 {\mu}m, 1.2 {\mu}m to 1.35 {\mu}m, 1.5
{\mu}m to 1.65 {\mu}m, 2.0 {\mu}m to 2.4 {\mu}m, and 3.0 {\mu}m to 4.0 {\mu}m,
respectively), and provides six times as many calibration lines as thorium in
the NIR spectral range. The line lists we provide enable inexpensive,
commercially-available uranium hollow-cathode lamps to be used for
high-precision wavelength calibration of existing and future high-resolution
NIR spectrographs.Comment: 23 pages, 6 Figure
Reflections on the Arts, Environment, and Culture After Ten Years of The Goose
To mark the tenth anniversary of The Goose, we asked prominent ecologically-minded scholars, writers, artists, and educators from across Canada to reflect on the relationship between the arts, culture, and the environment. Their comments illuminate a wide range of triumphs and tensions, from the politics and practices of environmentalist writing and art, to the connections between the environment and matters of diversity and justice, to the past and future of ALECC (Association for Literature, Environment, and Culture in Canada), to the world of a single poem

Tortuous Microvessels Contribute to Wound Healing via Sprouting AngiogenesisHighlights
Wound healing is accompanied by neoangiogenesis, and new vessels are thought to originate primarily from the microcirculation; however, how these vessels form and resolve during wound healing is poorly understood. Here, we investigated properties of the smallest capillaries during wound healing to determine their spatial organization and the kinetics of formation and resolution
