Proposal for a study of computer mapping of terrain using multispectral data from ERTS-A for the Yellowstone National Park test site

The author has identified the following significant results. A terrain map of Yellowstone National Park showed plant community types and other classes of ground cover in what is basically a wild land. The map comprised 12 classes, six of which were mapped with accuracies of 70 to 95%. The remaining six classes had spectral reflectances that overlapped appreciably, and hence, those were mapped less accurately. Techniques were devised for quantitatively comparing the recognition map of the park with control data acquired from ground inspection and from analysis of sidelooking radar images, a thermal IR mosaic, and IR aerial photos of several scales. Quantitative analyses were made in ten 40 sq km test areas. Comparison mechanics were performed by computer with the final results displayed on line printer output. Forested areas were mapped by computer using ERTS data for less than 1/4 the cost of the conventional forest mapping technique for topographic base maps

Boys' and girls' clubs

"Club work is based on sound principles and has come to stay. It is supported by federal and state aid as a definite form of agricultural extension work. Boys and girls on the farm are aided in their work and every possible advantage is extended to flt them, for better living and "to improve country life." It is proper in this connection to mention that club work has received special recognition from the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. On Pages 124-126 of the last Annual School Report will be found a general statement of this movement. On Pages 122 and 124 of the last State Course of Study will b.e found the . details of some of the projects. In the first county campaign which had as an aim to acquaint patrons, pupils and teachers with the nature and purpose of Boys' and Girls' Clubs, the state superintendent took personal part and gave sanction to the work. So far as known no other state has given stronger recognition to club work than Missouri."--Page 3

Infrared Behaviour of Systems With Goldstone Bosons

We develop various complementary concepts and techniques for handling quantum fluctuations of Goldstone bosons.We emphasise that one of the consequences of the masslessness of Goldstone bosons is that the longitudinal fluctuations also have a diverging susceptibility characterised by an anomalous dimension $(d-2)$ in space-time dimensions $2<d<4$.In $d=4$ these fluctuations diverge logarithmically in the infrared region.We show the generality of this phenomenon by providing three arguments based on i). Renormalization group flows, ii). Ward identities, and iii). Schwinger-Dyson equations.We obtain an explicit form for the generating functional of one-particle irreducible vertices of the O(N) (non)--linear $\sigma$--models in the leading 1/N approximation.We show that this incorporates all infrared behaviour correctly both in linear and non-linear $\sigma$-- models. Our techniques provide an alternative to chiral perturbation theory.Some consequences are discussed briefly.Comment: 28 pages,2 Figs, a new section on some universal features of multipion processes has been adde

Multi-scale Renormalisation Group Improvement of the Effective Potential

Using the renormalisation group and a conjecture concerning the perturbation series for the effective potential, the leading logarithms in the effective potential are exactly summed for $O(N)$ scalar and Yukawa theories.Comment: 19 pages, DIAS STP 94-09.

The Kramers equation simulation algorithm II. An application to the Gross-Neveu model

We continue the investigation on the applications of the Kramers equation to the numerical simulation of field theoretic models. In a previous paper we have described the theory and proposed various algorithms. Here, we compare the simplest of them with the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm studying the two-dimensional lattice Gross-Neveu model. We used a Symanzik improved action with dynamical Wilson fermions. Both the algorithms allow for the determination of the critical mass. Their performances in the definite phase simulations are comparable with the Hybrid Monte Carlo. For the two methods, the numerical values of the measured quantities agree within the errors and are compatible with the theoretical predictions; moreover, the Kramers algorithm is safer from the point of view of the numerical precision.Comment: 20 pages + 1 PostScript figure not included, REVTeX 3.0, IFUP-TH-2
