Satellite SAR Remote Sensing of Great Lakes Ice Cover,Part 2. Ice Classification and Mapping

During the 1997 winter season, shipborne polarimetric backscatter measurements of Great Lakes (freshwater) ice types using the Jet Propulsion Laboratory C-band scatterometer, together with surface-based ice physical characterization measurements and environmental parameters, were acquired concurrently with Earth Resource Satellite 2 (ERS-2) and RADARSAT Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. This polarimetric data set, composed of over 20 variations of different ice types measured at incident angles from 0° to 60° for all polarizations, was processed to radar cross-section to establish a library of signatures (look-up table) for different ice types. The library is used in the computer classification of calibrated satellite SAR data. Computer analysis of ERS-2 and RADARSAT ScanSAR images of Great Lakes ice cover using a supervised classification technique indicates that different ice types in the ice cover can be identified and mapped, and that wind speed and direction can have an influence on the classification of water as ice based on single frequency, single polarization data. Once satellite SAR data are classified into ice types, the ice map provides important and necessary input for environmental protection and management, ice control and ice breaking operations, and ice forecasting and modeling efforts.     

Study on axiomatic rules for building up relationships between requirement and source programs

The purpose of our study is to build up relationships between requirement and source programs with our originally thought-out rules. When other rules to be derived from these original rules are applied to software development, even a single instruction in a programming language could be determined, and the program would satisfy the requirement. More specifically speaking, these rules will turn into a formula or a prototype of software programs. Hence, when the variables in the requirement are placed in the formula, we can get a required program in an automatic way.

A noncontact NDE method using a laser generated focused-Lamb wave with enhanced defect-detection ability and spatial resolution

The laser generation method of a focused Lamb wave is expected to have high defect-detection abilities and spatial resolution, with the added advantage of noncontact testing. In this method, the laser beam is illuminated on the surface of an object through an arrayed arc slit. The energy of the generated Lamb wave is then concentrated at a focus of an arc. This focusing effect improves the NDE (nondestructive evaluation) performance, which is dependent on the geometries of an arrayed arc slit. In this paper, the relationships between the parameters determining the slit geometry and the focusing effect of the generated Lamb wave was investigated using a parametric study, and appropriate values of the parameters were obtained to maximize the focusing ability. In order to validate the performance of this method, an NDE system was constructed and experiments were performed to detect through-hole defects in a plate. The results showed that the proposed system could clearly detect defects as small as 0.3 mm in diameter, while the conventional line array method failed to detect defects smaller than 1 mm in diameter. Moreover, this method showed possible detection of defects much smaller than 0.3 mm, and great improvements in the spatial resolution as compared with the line array method.

Tearing, folding and deformation of a carbon-carbon sp-bonded network

A monolayer and a few layers of carbon sp²-bonded networks were torn and folded by the tip of an atomic force microscope at the steps on newly cleaved highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. It was found that the preferential breaking directions and folding axes are along the symmetry directions of the graphite hexagonal structure. Depending on the force exerted by the tip, breaking may occur along other directions. The torn part of the graphene sheet can even be stretched and deformed, and does not resume its original shape after release from the tip.     

Multifunctional hydrogels that promote osteogenic hMSC differentiation through stimulation and sequestering of BMP2

The extracellular environment controls many cellular activities thereby linking external material cues to internal cell function. By better understanding these processes, synthetic extracellular material niches can be tailored to present cells with highly regulated physical and/or chemical cues that promote or suppress selected cell functions. Here, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels were functionalized with fluvastatin-releasing grafts and growth factor binding heparin domains to enable the dynamic exchange of information between the material and cells from the outside-in and inside-out (i.e., bidirectional signaling). By incorporating a fluvastatin-releasing graft and carefully controlling the dose and temporal release, materials were designed to promote bone morphogenic protein (BMP2) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production by human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). When the release of fluvastatin was controlled to occur over 2 weeks, BMP2 and ALP production was increased 2.2-fold and 1.7-fold, respectively, at day 28 compared to hMSCs cultured in the absence of fluvastatin. By introducing a heparin functionality into the gel to sequester and localize the hMSC-produced BMP2, the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs was further augmented over fluvastatin delivery alone. Osteopontin and core binding factor α1 gene expression was 6-fold and 4-fold greater for hMSCs exposed to fluvastatin in the presence of the heparin functionalities, respectively. These results demonstrate how multifunctional gels that interact with cells in a bidirectional manner can efficiently promote selected cell functions, such as the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.
