In situ spectroradiometric calibration of EREP imagery and estuarine and coastal oceanography of Block Island sound and adjacent New York coastal waters

The author has identified the following significant results. The first part of the study resulted in photographic procedures for making multispectral positive images which greatly enhance the color differences in land detail using an additive color viewer. An additive color analysis of the geologic features near Willcox, Arizona using enhanced black and white multispectral positives allowed compilation of a significant number of unmapped geologic units which do not appear on geologic maps of the area. The second part demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing Skylab remote sensor data to monitor and manage the coastal environment by relating physical, chemical, and biological ship sampled data to S190A, S190B, and S192 image characteristics. Photographic reprocessing techniques were developed which greatly enhanced subtle low brightness water detail. Using these photographic contrast-stretch techniques, two water masses having an extinction coefficient difference of only 0.07 measured simultaneously with the acquisition of S190A data were readily differentiated

The Raman Spectra and Molecular Constants of Phosphorus Trifluoride and Phosphine

The Raman frequencies of PF3(l) were found to be omega1(1), 890 cm^-1; omega2(1), 531 cm^-1; omega3(2), 840 cm^-1; and omega4(2), 486 cm^-1, indicating a regular pyramid structure of the molecule. Three frequencies were observed for PH3(l): 2306 cm^-1, 1115 cm^-1 and 979 cm^-1. With the aid of electron diffraction data the standard virtual entropies of PF3(g), PCl3(g), AsF3(g), and AsCl3(g) at 25°C are calculated to be 64.2, 74.7, 69.2, and 78.2 cal./deg., respectively; that of PH3(g) is estimated to be 50.5 cal./deg. These data lead to the following free energies of formation at 25°C: AsCl3(g), -62,075 cal.; PH3(g), 2750 cal.; PCl3(g), -62,220 cal

A coral reef as an analogical model to promote collaborative learning on cultural and ethnic diversity in science

An exercise designed to engage students in critical thinking and active conversation about gender, diversity, and ethnicity in science is described. First semester college science students frequently do not realize that individual scholarship is an integral component of global scholarship and that scientific progress stems from the scholarly contributions of numerous individuals. The described exercise initially uses a collage of a coral reef—chosen both for its visual impact and because it is an excellent model of diversity—highlighting various aspects of life on a reef. This is followed by a trawl of library resources to enable the development of a chronology of significant contributions and practices in the field of medicine and the identification of historical and contemporary scholars and practitioners by race, cultural heritage, and gender

QED X QCD Exponentiation: Shower/ME Matching and IR-Improved DGLAP Theory at the LHC

We discuss the elements of QED X QCD exponentiation and its interplay with shower/ME matching and IR-improved DGLAP theory in precision LHC physics scenarios. Applications to single heavy gauge boson production at hadron colliders are illustrated.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure; presented by B.F.L. Ward at ICHEP0

Precision Electro-Weak and Hadronic Luminosity Calculations

We have used YFS Monte Carlo techniques to obtain per-mil level accuracy for the Bhabha scattering cross section used in the luminosity monitor in electro-weak scattering experiments. We will describe techniques for extending these methods for use in the W production luminosity cross section for hadron colliders.Comment: 8 pages (LaTex) with 5 figures (EPS). Presented by S.A. Yost at the Third International Symposium on Quantum Theory and Symmetries, Cincinnati, Sept. 10 - 14, 200
