ISSAC Student-Built Ag Camera Captures Minot Flood Images
No full textISSAC Student-Built Ag Camera Captures Minot Flood Images
While still performing on-orbit engineering checkout activities, the University of North Dakota-build International Space Station Agricultural Camera (ISSACtm) this weekend collected imagery of the Souris River flooding in Minot. The camera, which was designed and built and is operated by students and faculty at UND, ISSAC just began operations two weeks ago.
“We are still learning the sensor’s capabilities and are not yet ready for routine operations, but we wanted to see if there was any way ISSAC could be of use to the various flood fights going on across the state,” said Doug Olsen, Project Manager for ISSAC at UND.
Taken at 07:42 p.m. on Friday evening, June 24, the Minot image clearly shows the swollen Souris river filling the valley upstream, and sending water down through the heart of the city. Taken just prior to the river’s crest on Sunday night, the image shows extensive flooding in downtown Minot, and in residential areas along the river.
For comparison, an image of the same area, taken by the US Geological Survey’s Landsat spacecraft last year, shows the Souris as a thin black line snaking through the valley, now entirely covered by water in the ISSAC image.
ISSAC is a one-of-a-kind earth-observing sensor mounted in the International Space Station’s Window Observation Research Facility (WORF) and is capable of re-visiting a particular ground location more frequently than other space-based assets.
The ISSAC sensor collects imagery in both visible and infrared light, the latter particularly useful in determining health of vegetation, such as farm fields. As an added bonus, water appears black in the infrared channel, making it particularly useful in identifying areas under water.
Led by the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, the ISSAC payload was built as a collaborative project between the Odegard School and the School of Engineering and Mines, with support by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). ISSAC is being operated and controlled remotely by students working in the ISSAC Science Operations Center, or SOC, which is located in Clifford Hall on the UND campus.

About ISSAC
The International Space Station Agricultural Camera (ISSAC) is a multi-spectral imaging system mounted onboard the International Space Station in the US’s Destiny module inside the Window Observation Research Facility.
The system is capable of high-temporal imaging (multi-week to multi-day) from the ISS which has the potential to dramatically increase opportunities to obtain cloud-free images at spatial resolutions and wavelengths applicable to end-user analysis of in-field variability and vegetative conditions.
ISSAC is expected to image for three growing seasons for farming applications as well as cater to a number of research partners conducting worldwide studies of glaciers, grasslands, forests, and other ecosystems. Collected images will be down-linked, processed and delivered to end-users within 24-48 hours of acquisition. The ISSAC project has employed more than 60 UND students from disciplines such as engineering, aerospace, computer science, entrepreneurship and space studies in its more than 10-year history.

About UMAC
The Northern Great Plains Center for People and the Environment was established at the University of North Dakota in April 2001. It is the lead component of the Upper Midwest Aerospace Consortium (UMAC), which includes participants from academia, industry, and government in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. The vision of the Center is to build and nurture learning communities, creating an integrated view of all Earth’s systems, in order to serve humankind’s needs and desires for a sustainable and prosperous future.

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Generalized loewy decomposition of D-modules
No full textStarting from the well-known factorization of linear ordinary differential equations, we define the generalized Loewy decomposition for a -module. To this end, for any module , overmodules are constructed. They subsume the conventional factorization as special cases. Furthermore, the new concept of the module of relative syzygies is introduced. The invariance of this module and its solution space w.r.t. the set of generators is shown. We design an algorithm which constructs the Loewy-decomposition for finite-dimensional and some kinds of general -modules. These results are applied for solving various second-and third-order linear partial differential equations
