Archived 1976-1985 JPL Aircraft SAR Data
This report describes archived data from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) aircraft radar expeditions in the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s collected by Ron Blom, JPL Radar Geologist. The dataset was collected during Ron's career at JPL from the 1970s through 2015. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data in the 1970s and 1980s were recorded optically on long strips of film. SAR imagery was produced via an optical, holographic technique that resulted in long strips of film imagery
Daily Bidirectional Relationships Between Sleep and Mental Health Symptoms in Youth With Emotional and Behavioral Problems
Objective The present study examined the daily, bidirectional relationships between sleep and mental health symptoms in youth presenting to mental health treatment. Methods Youth aged 6 to 11 (36% female, 44% European American) presenting to outpatient behavioral health treatment (N = 25) were recruited to participate in the study. Children and parents completed daily questionnaires regarding the child’s sleep, mood, and behavior for a 14-day period, while youth wore an actigraph watch to objectively measure sleep. Results Examining between- and within-person variance using multilevel models, results indicate that youth had poor sleep duration and quality and that sleep and mental health symptoms were highly related at the daily level. Between-person effects were found to be most important and significant bidirectional relationships exist. Conclusions Identifying and addressing sleep problems in the context of mental health treatment is important, as poor sleep is associated with increased symptomology and may contribute to worsened mental health
Child and Parent Report of Parenting as Predictors of Substance Use and Suspensions from School
This study examined how child and parent reports of parenting were related to early adolescent substance use and school suspensions. Data were from two time points six months apart on 321 families with an eighth grade student attending one of five schools in the Pacific Northwest. Child- and parent-report measures of family management practices were moderately correlated (r = .29). Child report, but not parent report, of more positive family management practices uniquely predicted a lower likelihood of adolescent substance use. Also, discrepancies between child and parent report of parenting predicted substance use, with child positive report of family management losing its protective association with adolescent substance use when parents had negative reports of their parenting. Parent report, but not child report, of better parenting predicted lower likelihood of suspensions, suggesting that the salience of child and parent report may depend on the type of behavioral outcome

Precision Pastoralism‐Advanced Systems for Management and Integration of Livestock and Forage Resources in the Semi‐Arid Rangelands in South Eastern Australia
The results of an exploratory fishery cruise for Loligo Opalescens in southern and central California, June 5-25, 1974
During June 1974 the California Department of Fish and Game, in cooperation with the Sea Grant program at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, conducted an exploratory fishing cruise that extended from La Jolla to Santa
Cruz and included the Channel Islands, concentrating on inshore waters. The cruise was preliminary to the initiation of a major program of squid research and had six objectives:
1) To gather samples of market squid (Lo1igo opa1escens) for population,
growth, aging and food chain studies.
2) To locate potential new fishing grounds.
3) To investigate methods for determining spawning intensity.
4) To gather data on oceanographic parameters of the spawning grounds.
5) To make incidental collections as requested by other investigators.
6) To familiarize Sea Grant personnel with the capabilities of the Department's largest research vessel, ALASKA, with respect to squid.
Especially good weather and oceanographic conditions persisting throughout the cruise enabled us to make 66 night1ight stations, 17 midwater trawls and eight bottom trawls. Fishable concentrations of squid were discovered in the areas between Cape San Martin and Partington Point,
between Pfeiffer Point and Point Sur, and in Carmel Bay, heretofore unfished. Squid spawning off Santa Cruz Island was observed utilizing an underwater observation chamber aboard the vessel. Mating and feeding behavior were
observed in shipboard aquaria. PDF contains 28 pages

The extragalactic radio-source population at 95 GHz
We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 95GHz to carry
out continuum observations of 130 extragalactic radio sources selected from the
Australia Telescope 20GHz (AT20G) survey. Over 90% of these sources are
detected at 95 GHz, and we use a triple-correlation method to measure
simultaneous 20 and 95 GHz flux densities. We show that the ATCA can measure
95GHz flux densities to ~10% accuracy in a few minutes for sources above
~50mJy.
The median 20-95GHz spectral index does not vary significantly with flux
density for extragalactic sources with S20>150 mJy. This allows us to estimate
the extragalactic radio source counts at 95GHz by combining our observed
20-95GHz spectral-index distribution with the accurate 20GHz source counts
measured in the AT20G survey. The resulting 95GHz source counts down to 80 mJy
are significantly lower than those found by several previous studies. The main
reason is that most radio sources with flat or rising spectra in the frequency
range 5-20GHz show a spectral turnover between 20 and 95 GHz. As a result,
there are fewer 95GHz sources (by almost a factor of two at 0.1 Jy) than would
be predicted on the basis of extrapolation from the source populations seen in
lower-frequency surveys. We also derive the predicted confusion noise in CMB
surveys at 95GHz and find a value 20-30% lower than previous estimates.
The 95GHz source population at the flux levels probed by this study is
dominated by QSOs with a median redshift z~1. We find a correlation between
optical magnitude and 95GHz flux density which suggests that many of the
brightest 95 GHz sources are relativistically beamed, with both the optical and
millimetre continuum significantly brightened by Doppler boosting.Comment: Replaced with final version (MNRAS, in press), 15 pages plus two
