FLIGHT TEST INSTRUMENTATION FOR THE ADVANCED HAWKEYE LOADS RISK REDUCTION PROJECT
No full textITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaThis paper is about the installation of the instrumentation system and the strain gages on an E-2C Hawkeye for the Advanced Hawkeye Loads Risk Reduction project. Background information on why this project came about will be given. Explanations on why the existing instrumentation system was modified to the current system will be presented. Anthony Cullison (co-author of this paper) will explain the installation of the strain gages.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.

Bonus: Ethics in Focus with Caspar Hare
No full textWelcome to a new series called “Ethics in Focus.” These bonus episodes get right to the point for people with backgrounds in ethics or philosophy. There are no explanations, just the full-length interviews with some of our expert guests. Regularly scheduled episodes of Examining Ethics will still be released at the end of every month. But every once and a while, keep an eye out for one of these “Ethics in Focus” interviews. Today\u27s edition of Ethics in Focus features our host Andy Cullison\u27s conversation with Professor Caspar Hare, author of The Limits of Kindness out now from Oxford University Press. Hare is a professor of philosophy at MIT, and his work focuses on ethics, practical rationality, and metaphysics. His book The Limits of Kindness addresses questions in moral philosophy by starting with an uncontroversial principle, that being moral “involves wanting particular other people to be better off.
Genocide in the Golden State: The Mariposa War, Indigenous Resistance, and Survival
No full textThis thesis investigates the development of American racial ideology that discriminated against Native Americans and the role it played in the disenfranchisement, murder, and forced removal of the Indigenous population of California during the gold rush. The Mariposa War is given specific focus as it serves as a microcosm of the California genocide. These topics are examined through the lens of both the Euroamerican settler population and the Native Californian population. The thesis argues that the racial ideology had developed since before the founding of the United States, drawing influence from various fields of thought from the Puritans to later scientific racism. This ideology influenced the California legal system, which prioritized the disenfranchisement of the Indigenous population from their land and was often incapable of protecting them from murder and genocide. These conditions eventually led to the Mariposa War, carried out for the purpose of ethnically cleansing the Indigenous population from the Sierra Nevada foothills. The settler society developed reservations to further Indigenous ethnic cleansing, removing Native peoples to isolated communities that prioritized their economic exploitation and forced acculturation into mainstream Euroamerican society. Throughout this investigation, fluid responses from the Native Californians are found at every stage, highlighting their adaptation, resistance and survival
The Possiblity of Resurrection in Isaiah 26:19
No full textThe intent of this paper is to explore the possible intimations of individual resurrection in Isaiah 26: 19. The paper will pay attention to the immediate context of the Isaiah Apocalypse (Isaiah 24-27), the unique Hebrew oflsaiah 26:19, and the probable influence ofUgaritic culture on the original author
2013 Kansas Performance Tests with Cotton Varieties
No full textThis publication presents the results of performance tests with cotton varieties. Descriptive information is presented with the results for each test. This information, including soil type, establishment methods, fertilization, pest control, irrigation, harvest dates, and growing conditions unique to that location, can help explain test and/or variety performance.

An efficient probabilistic workflow for estimating induced earthquake parameters in 3D heterogeneous media
No full textWe present an efficient probabilistic workflow for the estimation of source parameters of induced seismic events in three-dimensional heterogeneous media. Our workflow exploits a linearized variant of the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm. Compared to traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, HMC is highly efficient in sampling high-dimensional model spaces. Through a linearization of the forward problem around the prior mean (i.e., the “best” initial model), this efficiency can be further improved. We show, however, that this linearization leads to a performance in which the output of an HMC chain strongly depends on the quality of the prior, in particular because not all (induced) earthquake model parameters have a linear relationship with the recordings observed at the surface. To mitigate the importance of an accurate prior, we integrate the linearized HMC scheme into a workflow that (i) allows for a weak prior through linearization around various (initial) centroid locations, (ii) is able to converge to the mode containing the model with the (global) minimum misfit by means of an iterative HMC approach, and (iii) uses variance reduction as a criterion to include the output of individual Markov chains in the estimation of the posterior probability. Using a three-dimensional heterogeneous subsurface model of the Groningen gas field, we simulate an induced earthquake to test our workflow. We then demonstrate the virtue of our workflow by estimating the event's centroid (three parameters), moment tensor (six parameters), and the earthquake's origin time. Using the synthetic case, we find that our proposed workflow is able to recover the posterior probability of these source parameters rather well, even when the prior model information is inaccurate, imprecise, or both inaccurate and imprecise.Applied Geophysics and Petrophysic
