Data for: Comparison of two dielectric sensors in coarse-grained soils of increasing salinity
(2023-07-12)
Moisture content can impact the resilient modulus of pavement base course and subgrade layers. Given its influence on the post-inundation resilient moduli of the coastal pavement and base course and subgrade layers, it is ...
The Role of Breccia Lenses in Regolith Generation From the Formation of Small, Simple Craters: Application to the Apollo 15 Landing Site
(2023-01-18)
Impact cratering is likely a primary agent of regolith generation on airless bodies. Regolith production via impact cratering has long been a key topic of study since the Apollo era. The evolution of regolith due to impact ...
Discrimination experiments with the U.S. Army's standard metal detector
(2022-10-25)
[1] Discrimination experiments with the U. S. Army's standard hand-held metal detector (AN/PSS-12) are described. An appendix describes the functioning of the device as a metal detector, and the body of the paper discusses ...

Formation, Fate, and Impacts of Microscopic and Macroscopic Oil-Sediment Residues in Nearshore Marine Environments: A Critical Review
(2022-10-11)
Crude oil that is spilled in marine environments often interacts with suspended sediments to form residues that can impact the recovery of the affected nearshore ecosystems. When spilled oil and sediment interact, they can ...
The electrostatic characterization of an n-element planar array using the singularity expansion method
(2022-09-28)
In this paper, the singularity expansion method (SEM) is used to describe the electrostatic charge distribution on an array of thin linear antennas placed in a uniform electric field. The SEM, which has primarily been used ...
Estimating the Center of Rotation of Tomographic Imaging Systems with Limited Projections
(2021-04-02)
For a tomographic imaging system, image reconstruction quality is highly correlated with accurate determination of the true center of rotation (COR) location. A significant center offset error will introduce ringing, ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of saltwater intrusion dynamics in flux-controlled groundwater systems
(2020-08-20)
Sea level rise and reduction of groundwater fluxes due to changes in rainfall patterns are the two major climate change–induced hydrological variables that can severely affect saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. In ...
Automatically identifying, counting, and describing wild animals in camera-trap images with deep learning
(2020-07-27)
Having accurate, detailed, and up-to-date information about the location and behavior of animals in the wild would improve our ability to study and conserve ecosystems. We investigate the ability to automatically, accurately, ...
Noble gas abundance and isotope ratios in the atmosphere of Jupiter from the Galileo Probe Mass Spectrometer
(2020-06-30)
The Galileo Probe Mass Spectrometer provided the first data on the noble gas mixing and isotope ratios in the Jovian atmosphere. These measurements and the comparison with solar values constrain models of Jupiter's formation. ...
The Role of Breccia Lenses in Regolith Generation From the Formation of Small, Simple Craters: Application to the Apollo 15 Landing Site
(2020-05-28)
Impact cratering is likely a primary agent of regolith generation on airless bodies. Regolith production via impact cratering has long been a key topic of study since the Apollo era. The evolution of regolith due to impact ...
No Change in the Recent Lunar Impact Flux Required Based on Modeling of Impact Glass Spherule Age Distributions
(2020-05-27)
The distributions of Ar-40/Ar-39-derived ages of impact glass spherules in lunar regolith samples show an excess at <500 Ma relative to older ages. It has not been well understood whether this excess of young ages reflects ...
Forest restoration as a strategy to mitigate climate impacts on wildfire, vegetation, and water in semiarid forests
(2020-05-18)
Climate change and wildfire are interacting to drive vegetation change and potentially reduce water quantity and quality in the southwestern United States, Forest restoration is a management approach that could mitigate ...
Sea level rise and inundation of island interiors: Assessing impacts of lake formation and evaporation on water resources in arid climates
(2020-04-01)
Coasts of many low-lying islands will be inundated should sea level rise by 1 m by 2100 as projected, thereby decreasing water resources through aquifer salinization. A lesser known impact occurs if rising sea level elevates ...
Field‐based robotic phenotyping of sorghum plant architecture using stereo vision
(2020-02-24)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is known as a major feedstock for biofuel production. To improve its biomass yield through genetic research, manually measuring yield component traits (e.g. plant height, stem diameter, leaf angle, ...
A Bayesian Approach to Detect the Firms with Material Weakness in Internal Control
(2019-08-01)
Capturing of relevant patterns in company’s financial data and the implications on the reporting are important for
various financial statement users to identify the triggers of the significant deficiencies and material ...
