Data catalog series for space science and applications flight missions. Volume 4A: Descriptions of meteorological and terrestrial applications spacecraft and investigations
The National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) provides data from and information about space science and applications flight investigations in support of additional studies beyond those performed as the principal part of any flight mission. The Earth-orbiting spacecraft for investigations of the earth and its atmosphere is discussed. Geodetic tracking data are included in this category. The principal subject areas presented are meteorology and earth resources survey, and the spacecraft selection is made according to those subjects. All experiments on board the spacecraft are described. No attempt is made to reference investigations that are related to the above disciplines, but that are described in other volumes of this series
On QCD and Effective Locality
In a recent paper it was shown how quark scattering in a quenched, eikonal
model led to a momentum-transfer dependent amplitude expressed in terms of
Halpern's functional integral; and how the requirement of manifest gauge
invariance converted that functional integral into a local integral, capable of
being evaluated with precision by a finite set of numerical integrations. We
here prove that this property of "effective locality" holds true for all quark
processes, without approximation and without exception.Comment: Expanded and Revised in REVTeX 4.1, 14 pages, follow-on work of Eur.

Analytic, Non-Perturbative, Gauge-invariant QCD: Nucleon Scattering and Binding Potentials
Removal of the quenched approximation in the mechanism which produced an
analytic estimate of quark-binding potentials, along with a reasonable
conjecture of the color structure of the nucleon formed by such a binding
potential, is shown to generate an effective, nucleon scattering and binding
potential. The mass-scale factor on the order of the pion mass, previously
introduced to define transverse imprecision of quark coordinates, is again
used, while the strength of the potential is proportional to the square of a
renormalized QCD coupling constant. The potential so derived does not include
corrections due to spin, angular momentum, nucleon structure, and electroweak
interactions; rather, it is qualitative in nature, showing how Nuclear Physics
can arise from fundamental QCD.Comment: 25 pages, 3 figures in REVTeX. The fifth of a series on

The PARSE Programming Paradigm. Part I: Software Development Methodology. Part II: Software Development Support Tools
The programming methodology of PARSE (parallel software environment), a software environment being developed for reconfigurable non-shared memory parallel computers, is described. This environment will consist of an integrated collection of language interfaces, automatic and semi-automatic debugging and analysis tools, and operating system —all of which are made more flexible by the use of a knowledge-based implementation for the tools that make up PARSE. The programming paradigm supports the user freely choosing among three basic approaches /abstractions for programming a parallel machine: logic-based descriptive, sequential-control procedural, and parallel-control procedural programming. All of these result in efficient parallel execution. The current work discusses the methodology underlying PARSE, whereas the companion paper, “The PARSE Programming Paradigm — II: Software Development Support Tools,” details each of the component tools
