Abstract of "Interpretation and Editing Techniques. . ." Peter K. Wu is under contract to the Techniques Development Laboratory, National Weather Service. This paper will describe interactive techniques developed at both the Techniques Development Laboratory and the Forecast Systems Laboratory. With IFP, forecasters employ a family of techniques to prepare forecasts of weather elements in a common digital database from which many forecast products can be automatically composed and formatted. www.nws.noaa.gov /mdl/icwf/development/papers/1998/iande/ietabs.htm

Ethological and Experimental Approaches to Behavior Analysis: Implications for Ecotoxicology Observational data collection techniques can easily be used to broaden the number of questions addressed regarding sublethal exposure to toxic agents in both field and laboratory environments. Likewise, a variety of observational techniques are widely used in laboratory research on the behavioral effects of drugs and environmental contaminants (14,15). Observational assessments (cage-side observations) have, of course, been long used in assessing the effects of a wide variety of environmental and pharmaceutical compounds (37), and refinements of these techniques have been incorporated into screening batteries for assessing the neurotoxic potential of compounds (38). ehp.niehs.nih.gov /members/1996/Suppl-2/cohn.html   (5890 words)

Joseph Ackerman Interests: magnetic resonance techniques, spectroscopic techniques, imaging techniques, functional biophysical, physiologic events, intact biological systems, isolated cell preparations, purfused organs, laboratory animals, biophysical analysis, physiologic analysis, chemical shift, multicomponent metabolic analysis, microscopic motion, macroscopic motion Such systems include isolated cell preparations, perfused organs, laboratory animals, and humans. Advantages of magnetic resonance for biophysical and physiologic analysis include an inherently noninvasive and nondestructive nature, an ability to provide a simultaneous multicomponent metabolic analysis with chemical identity defined via the chemical shift, and a sensitivity to subtle changes in both microscopic and macroscopic motion and local (molecular) environment. news-info.wustl.edu /sb/page/normal/496.html   (5890 words)

Forum on Education Newsletter, Daniel Reich This course can serve both as a means of passing on information about techniques used locally and as a means of imparting general knowledge about techniques used in a particular field. This knowledge is usually obtained through work in the laboratory, individual study, and interactions with other members of the group; hence, there is a risk that students may become too narrowly focused on their own work and learn little about how experiments are done outside their own laboratory. The lecture notes from this course have been published, and are now one of the standard references on low temperature techniques [1]. www.research.att.com:9000 /~kbl/APS/aug94/ExpPhys.html   (831 words)

Session 5E - ICF Plasma Physics. Techniques, such as SSD and ISI, have improved the time-integrated laser illumination; however, preliminary calculations indicate that these techniques may be limited in effectiveness during the initial ``startup'' phase. The primary goal of the OMEGA laser target physics program is the validation of the direct-drive approach to ICF using cryogenic-fuel capsules that are hydrodynamically equivalent to high-performance capsules. Laser-plasma x-ray sources are particularly attractive for these uses since their spectrum can be controlled by proper choice of plasma material and laser intensity; and because many laser-plasma sources can be designed to produce little or no particulate debris. flux.aps.org /meetings/BAPSDPP96/abs/S360.html   (659 words)

Machine Learning Reading Group Meetings at Columbia We describe a generic way of generalizing the sparse Bayesian Gaussian process Informative Vector Machine (IVM) to such multi process models, emphasizing the key techniques which are required for an efficient solution (exploiting matrix structure, numerical quadrature). While supervised kernel techniques involving a single latent function (or discriminant) are well understood and powerful methods have emerged, much less is known about models which combine a number of latent functions. We envision a new class of machines that understand the meaning of information in more human-like ways by grounding knowledge in the physical world and in the machines' own goals. www.cs.columbia.edu /learning/meetings.html   (659 words)

Galton Galton's interest in mathematics and techniques of measurement led him to concentrate within the field of geography on mapping and meteorological observations, and it was here that he made his first contribution to science. Galton was a prolific writer and a zealous scientist who placed great emphasis in the measurement of phenomena he was mostly interested in: intelligence and human ability to transfer it from one generation to the other. Galton was able to show that association formed in his early years were likely to be those repeated on the later trials with the same list, whereas recent associations were less fixed and would vary from trial to trial (Galton, 1979). cc.cumberlandcollege.edu /acad/psych/HS/Galton.htm   (659 words)

frontline: hackers: the risks: computer attacks at department of defense pose increasing risks For example, Rome Laboratory officials said that over 3 years of research and $4 million were invested in the air tasking order research project compromised by the attackers, and that it would have cost that much to replace it if they had been unable to recover from damage caused by the attackers. Similarly, Rome laboratory officials told us that all of their research data is valuable but that they do not know how to estimate this value. The first attack we highlight, on Rome Laboratory, New York, was well-documented by Defense and of particular concern to committees requesting this report because the attack shows how a small group of hackers can easily and quickly take control of Defense networks. www.pbs.org /wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/hackers/risks/dodattacks.html   (815 words)

Francis Galton as Anthropologist However, Galton's collection of data was so successful that processing it all was a problem; doing so required many hours of dedicated effort, and the required techniques for analyzing it had yet to be invented. The laboratory tested exhibit goers with instruments that Galton often had to design himself and have made to his specifications. Following the enormous success of his exhibit, Galton established a permanent version of the laboratory at the South Kensington museum, and continued to collect data for many years. www.mugu.com /galton/anthropologist.htm   (815 words)

Biophysical Society Education Information on biophysical techniques Much biophysical research involves either the development of novel techniques to investigate the structure, properties, and biological functions of biomolecules or the application of these techniques to monitor how the structure and dynamics of biomolecules enables specific biological functions. The Axon Guide for Electrophysiology and Biophysics is a practical laboratory guide covering a broad range of topics, from the biological basis of bioelectricity and a description of the basic experimental setup, to the principles of operation of the most advanced hardware and software currently available.” Generated and maintained by Axon Instruments, Inc. The behavior of large biomolecules—proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids—in solution is complex and directly related to molecular size, shape, and flexibility; the analysis of hydrodynamic behavior thus provides important information about the structure, dynamics, and interactions of biomacromolecules. www.biophysics.org /education/techniques.htm   (329 words)
