    • An Evaluation of a Low-Cost UAV Approach to Noxious Weed Mapping

    • Jones, Brandon Tyler 1979-

    • Mapping their location and extent is a critical step in noxious weed management. One of the most common methods of mapping noxious weeds is to walk the perimeter of each patch with a handheld GPS receiver. This is the method used at Camp...

    • An Object-Based Image Analysis of Treated and Untreated Pinyon and Juniper Woodlands Across the Great Basin

    • Hulet, April

    • Land managers need to rapidly assess vegetation composition and bare ground to effectively evaluate, manage, and restore shrub steppe communities that have been encroached by pinyon and juniper (P-J) trees. A major part of this process is...

    • Characterizing the Three-Dimensional Behavior of Bistable Micromechanisms

    • Cherry, Brian B 1979-

    • Compliant bistable micromechanisms have been proposed for use in applications such as switches, relays, shutters, and sensing arrays. Unpublished laboratory testing suggests that off-axis forces may affect the bistable nature of fully compliant...

    • Delineation of mass movement prone areas by Landsat 7 and digitial image processing

    • Howland, Shiloh Marie 1979-

    • The problem of whether Landsat 7 data could be used to delineate areas prone to mass movement, particularly debris flows and landslides, was examined using three techniques: change detection in NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), change...
