An applied ontology to the Mid-Atlantic Cable: Historical to Modern Informatics Consideration from a Math Perspective |
| Paper(Word) |
| Powerpoint |
Abstract:
As early as the 1600's scientists in various fields world to address a global human need of human communication on a global basis by implementing the trans-Atlantic cable. The Mid 4Trans-Atlantic cable is one of the earliest forms of global commutation. Here may be the first evidence of informatics needs where science, data, and engineering were collaborated across disciplines to advance a world standard of living. This work investigates what applied ontology may have been consisting with the thought pattern of such expertise who conducted informatics arguably without computers, ontology’s, and a cyber infrastructure. In modern context, an applied ontology may best represent the body of intentional learning, research and collaboration among scientists to achieve a human goal. Perhaps if such intentional non-partisan work can achieve a solution such as Trans-Atlantic Cable, climate change may benefit from intentional collaborative ontology’s and systems of multi user knowledgebase or expert informatics systems.

Abstract:
The Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars CRISM (CRISM) carried aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), is the first visible-infrared spectrometer to fly on a NASA Mars mission. CRISM scientists are using the instrument to look for the residue of minerals that form in the presence of water: the 'fingerprints' left by evaporated hot springs, thermal vents, lakes or ponds. With unprecedented clarity, CRISM is mapping regions on the Martian surface at scales as small as 60 feet (about 18 meters) across, when the spacecraft is 186 miles (300 kilometers) above the planet. CRISM is reading 544 'colors' in reflected sunlight to detect certain minerals on the surface, including signature traces of past water. CRISM alone will generate more than 10 terabytes of data, enough to fill more than 15,000 compact discs.
Given that quantity of data being returned by MRO-CRISM, this project partners with Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) scientists of the CRISM team to assist in the data analysis process.
The CRISM operations team has prototyped and will provide the necessary software analysis tools. In addition, the CRISM operations team will provide reduced data volume representations of the data as PNG files, accessible via a web interface without recourse to specialized user tools. The web interface allows me to recommend repeating certain of the CRISM observations as survey results indicate, and to enter notes on the features present in the images.

Key Words: Water Quality, pH, Salinity, Dissovled Oxygen, Alkalinity, Hardness, Nitrate, Conductivity, DiST WP,
Water Quality content varies from community to community and from throughout the world. A number of variances are natural differences caused by nature and some are induced by humans. The research team processed and compared the water quality results against the North Carolina Administrative Code, past CERSER research group results, local surrounding counties, statewide, countrywide and International water quality standards for samples from Austin Texas, Barcelona Spain, Pasquotank County, North Carolina, Indianapolis, Indiana & Lake Cavalier Portsmouth, Virginia. Microsoft Excel which had statistical software capabilities within this package were used to display team results. (In order to illustrate these differences between Austin Texas, Barcelona Spain, Pasquotank County, North Carolina, Indianapolis, Indiana & Lake Cavalier Portsmouth, Virginia). The team examined and utilized LaMotte testing kits, then measured pH which displayed acidity. Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, Alkalinity, Hardness, Nitrate, Conductivity, DiST WP was also tested. The team utilized Google Earth for creating an aerial dataset utilizing KMZ scripting functionality. The team also linked and configured the Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet to communicate with Google Earth. The 2009 Water Quality Team developed the WSR Forms (Water sample request form) to record and maintain Water Quality data integrity. |

Regional Scale MODIS Images
The flooding was monitored daily with NASA MODIS satellite images at regional scale, 250 - 500 meters spatial resolution, received by the Purdue Terrestrial Observatory (PTO, http://www.itap.purdue.edu/pto/). The images below represent channels 6 (middle IR), 2 (near infrared) and 1 (red) displayed as red-green-blue. Water including flooded areas are displayed as blue to black. Greenish colors below represent forested and grassy areas. The browns and oranges represent bare ground or newly planted crop areas. Note the increase in the river flooding between June 8 and June 10.
|
Summary
•The use of Landsat images for assisting in the documentation of croplands flooded by the June 2008 floodwaters in Indiana is still being evaluated.
•Federal and State Agencies responsible for relief funds to Indiana citizens that had property damaged by the floods need documentation that the flood is what caused the damage.
•The cropland numbers shown in our initial analysis are estimates since we do not have reference information available for 2008 but the use of the USDA National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) data from 2007 is a good guide.
•Farmland in the bottomland areas next to major streams and rivers have a higher percentage of corn vs. soybeans planted due to the higher possibility of corn to withstand flooding.
•All of the counties shown in our example have been requested by the Indiana Governor to be declared by the Federal Government as “flood disaster counties”.
•The authors are continuing to share the results of the analyses of this data with all the agencies that can benefit from having all relevant land use data and information available in making their decisions.

| In order to enhance preparedness and damage assessment for future flood disasters, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has contracted with the Polis Center of Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) to develop 100 YR Flood Digital Maps using FEMA's HAZUS modeling software, which has modules to assess damage from floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. A subsequent subcontract to Purdue University-West Lafayette entails development of such 100 YR maps for 785 countries in the USA. Given the recent devastating recent floods in the Midwest, discussions are now underway to expand the initiative to include an additional 100+ counties at risk, as well as to develop 500 year flood maps for 300+ counties in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. The image to the right represents an output map from HAZUS illustrating expected flooded areas from a “100 year” flood (actually a 1-in-100 chance that a flood this size will happen during any given year).

ABSTRACT:
The authors review the current state-of-the-science with respect to remote sensing applications for infectious disease vector habitat identification, as well as for enabling early warning and mitigation of epidemics, epizootics and anticipated pandemic zoonoses. Current methodologies build upon prior progress made by USAID and by UNFAO’s Africa Real-Time Environmental Monitoring Information System (ARTEMIS), in famine early warning systems (FEWS) and in monitoring vulnerability to desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) infestations, respectively. The potential is investigated for incorporating epidemiological modeling software (e.g. IBM’s open source Spatio-Temporal Epidemiological Modeler-STEM) with data from remote sensing, in situ sensing and field investigations, so as to facilitate early warning and mitigation initiatives for an array of infectious diseases within Africa. Moreover, the constraints with respect to cyberinfrastructure, bandwidth and telecommunications in Africa are examined, with respect to effectively supporting time-critical data dissemination for disaster management, particularly as relates to public health and safety. Finally, the details of a NATO Science for Peace (SfP) supported Planning Grant are described for development of a plan for university-based real-time remote sensing ground stations in Egypt for early warning and mitigation of anthropogenic and biogenic disasters, including epidemics and epizootics. |

Ground water is the water beneath the surface of the ground.
It consist largely of surface water that has seeped down and is
the source of water in springs and wells. Groundwater makes up about
twenty percent of the world’s fresh water supply, which is
about 0.61 percent of the entire world’s water supply (Environment
Canada Website). Because it is a source for well water it is important
to monitor the waters quality to insure that it is safe for consumption.
Several factors can cause groundwater pollution including septic
systems, small disposal pits, house and garden chemicals, stream
infiltration, landfills, underground storage tanks, and pipelines.
The 2006-07 research team will investigate the effects that a
sanitary septic systems has on groundwater, in addition to other
potential sources of groundwater contamination in Pasquotank County.
A database will be created using ArcGIS and Visual Basic Applications
to input existing and captured groundwater data. This database will
be used to conduct analyzes on contamination levels, nutrient levels,
and to compare residents within a certain area who have septic systems
instead of wells. This study will help to identify the quality of
groundwater in Pasquotank County.
To accomplish this project ArcGIS and Visual Basic Application will
be utilized. Existing data will be collected from the public health
department and other public agencies. Data will also be collected
through ground truthing by sampling groundwater from a monitoring
well. |

Estimating Antarctic Firn Average Emissivity Trends at
the Ski Hi Automatic Weather Station
Firn is compacted, near-surface snow enduring for more than one
season not yet compressed into glacial ice. Knowledge of firn surface
temperature trends across the Antarctic ice sheet is useful for
documenting and quantifying change and providing a temporal and
spatial context for research during the Antarctic International
Polar Year (IPY). Satellite passive microwave radiometer data can
provide surface temperature trend estimates across limited temporal
and spatial gaps in Automatic Weather Station (AWS) coverage. Techniques
to derive surface temperatures from passive microwave data have
been pioneered by Jezek et al., (1993) and. Shuman et al., (1995).
Using the methods of previous researchers, the Summer 2006 Undergraduate
Research Experience (URE) Antarctic Temperature Mapping Team, is
comparing archived surface temperature data from an AWS on the West
Antarctic Ice Sheet with coincident daily brightness temperature
data collected by the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) aboard
the Defense Meteorology Satellite Program (DMSP) polar orbiting
meteorology satellite series. The ratio of passive microwave brightness
temperature and AWS in-situ near surface temperature provides the
firn emissivity estimate necessary to extrapolate surface temperature
trends across temporal and spatial gaps in either the AWS or SSM/I
record. The relationship between emissivity and surface temperature
is generally known as the ‘Rayleigh-Jeans Approximation’
(Hall and Martinec, 1985). The spatial and temporal variability
of firn emissivity is not well understood but known to be much less
variable than daily temperature.

ABSTRACT
Automated Approach of Cataloguing TeraScan Images utilizing Exchangeable
Image File Format (EXIF) Data
The Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing Education and Research
(CERSER) on the campus of Elizabeth City State University is currently
tasked with the responsibility of receiving remotely sensed Advanced
Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and Sea Wide Field-of-View
Sensor (SeaWiFS) data for research projects year round. This data
is collected, processed, annotated, and transformed into images
in the Tagged Image File Format (tiff). These tiff images are then
uploaded to the CERSER archive library server located at http://cerser.ecsu.edu.
Once uploaded, they are converted into various resolutions and their
information is added to a tracking database maintained with Microsoft
Access software. This database provides a searchable means for retrieving
satellite image data through various parameters.
The conversion of the tiff file to its various resolutions and
the entry of data into the tracking database are currently done
manually by the CERSER webmaster. The amount of time to enter one
image into the system is approximately ten minutes. The process
is also limited by the requirement that the webmaster be located
at one computer terminal located on the campus to perform these
tasks.
The goal of the 2005 ONR Multimedia Team (MMT) is to automate this
process utilizing data captured from the tiff files Exchangeable
Image File Format (EXIF) data. This data contains the capture time
and date along with file resolution and file size. Utilizing this
information will allow various scripts to be written eliminating
the necessity for the manual conversions and data input to be made
resulting in a more up to date and accurate archiving system of
the images. Various methods and languages will be utilized including
Java, JavaScript, and Adobe Photoshop Action Scripts to complete
this process. |

Abstract
This internship involved the development of a graphical user interface
between two software packages, AD Model Builder (ADMB) and the statistics
package R. The ADMB software was used to fit models and then R was
used to graph them. ADMB generates a large amount of data that must
be graphed in order to obtain representative results. The interface
developed allows an ADMB program to output data in a format readable
by R. The interface also contains a set of graphic functions in
R that formulate many common graphs.
The benefits to NOAA and the Population Dynamics Team is an improved
graphics function. This internship increased familiarity in general
with scientific programming and particularly with the R language. |

Abstract – The objective for the 2007 Elizabeth City
State University-National Association of Mathematicians Computational
Science and Scientific Visualization Summer Institute research project
is to compare the various major types of energy sources used by
the G-8 countries—Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia,
United Kingdom, and United States—with the assistance of data
for the years 1980-2006 from reliable online resources. Comparisons
will determine specifically what types of energy sources are used
by these countries and any concerns that they may produce (environmental
or otherwise). This project will evaluate uses of energy for each
G-8 country by using regression analysis to predict the energy consumption
for each country in 2010. Lines of Regression will be displayed
by graphs created in Minitab and MathCAD. Ultimately, we intend
to conclude that the consumption of energy for each country will
increase by the year 2010.

Abstract
The ONR 2004-2005 Multimedia Research Team studied the implementation
of Macromedia’s ColdFusion Server software as a web application
server for small scale online databases. ColdFusion is utilized
by the ECSU staff and integrates with the current Macromedia tools
employed by the ONR media developers. The team’s goal was
to utilize the University server's ColdFusion software for the implementation
of a small, startup site. This site involved documenting the Submerged
Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Herbarium of Northeast North Carolina waters
for the ECSU Geological, Environmental, and Marine Sciences (GEMS)
department. The team developed the initial site with database files
in place to begin the recording of information. The future phases
of will include the insertion, manipulation, and retrieval of actual
gathered data. This project sought to research the learning curve,
integration, and ease of use of the ColdFusion software in comparison
with other web application software. |
