    • Controlling Laser High-Order Harmonic Generation Using Weak Counter-Propagating Light

    • Controlling Laser High-Order Harmonic Generation Using Weak Counter-Propagating Light

    • high harmonics, EUV, ultrafast photonics, chirped pulse amplification, conversion efficiency, femtosecond laser, reflectometer

    • Laser high-order harmonic generation in the presence of relatively weak interfering light is investigated. The interfering pulses intersect the primary harmonic-generating laser pulse at the laser focus. The interfering light creates a standing...
    • Time Aliasing Methods of Spectrum Estimation

    • Time Aliasing Methods of Spectrum Estimation

    • Aliasing, Spectrum, Estimation, Frequency, Response, Signal, Vibration, Spectral, Instrumentation

    • Time aliasing methods of spectrum estimation alter the time representation of a signal for the purpose of improving its frequency domain representation. Time aliasing allows characteristics of longer time window functions to be used with shorter...
    • YSCAT Backscatter Distributions

    • YSCAT Backscatter Distributions

    • generalized log-normal distribution, radar backscatter, air-sea interaction, YSCAT, Bragg scattering, wind speed

    • YSCAT is a unique ultrawideband microwave scatterometer developed to investigate the sea surface under a variety of environmental and radar parameters. The YSCAT94 experiment consisted of a six month deployment on the WAVES research tower...

    • The Phase Gradient Autofocus Algorithm with Range Dependent Stripmap SAR

    • The Phase Gradient Autofocus Algorithm with Range Dependent Stripmap SAR

    • Synthetic aperture radar, SAR, stripmap SAR, spot light SAR, phase gradient auto focus, auto focus algorithms, maximum likelihood phase gradient algorithm

    • The Phase Gradient Autofocus (PGA) algorithm is widely used in spotlight mode SAR for motion compensation. The Maximum Likelihood PGA (ML PGA) algorithm has been shown to be a superior autofocus method. The PGA is restricted to high altitude...

    • Azimuth Modulation of the Radar Backscatter at Near-Normal Incidence

    • Azimuth Modulation of the Radar Backscatter at Near-Normal Incidence

    • YSCAT, scatterometry, air-sea interaction, radar backscatter

    • Radar observations of the ocean surface are becoming increasingly important. Common applications are wind retrieval and global weather forecasting and characterization. Because of the common use of ocean radar measurements, it is important to...

    • A Field-Wise Retrieval Algorithm for SeaWinds

    • A Field-Wise Retrieval Algorithm for SeaWinds

    • wind model, Karhunen-Loeve, radar backscatter, field-wise wind retrieval, NSCAT, NASA Scatterometer, point-wise retrieval, ambiguity removal, ambiguity selection, scatterometry

    • In the spring of 1999 NASA will launch the scatterometer SeaWinds, beginning a 3 year mission to measure the ocean winds. SeaWinds is different from previous spaceborne scatterometers in that it employs a rotating pencil-beam antenna as opposed...

    • Studies to Improve Estimation of the Electromagnetic Bias in Radar Altimetry

    • Studies to Improve Estimation of the Electromagnetic Bias in Radar Altimetry

    • radar backscatter, electromagnetic bias, altimetry, air-sea interaction, significant wave height, Topex, wave slope

    • In May of 2000 Jason-1, a joint project between NASA and the French space agency CNES, will be launched. Its mission is to continue the highly successful gathering of data which TOPEX/Poseidon has collected since August of 1992. The main goal of...

    • Floodplain Risk Analysis Using Flood Probability and Annual Exceedance Probability Maps

    • Floodplain Risk Analysis Using Flood Probability and Annual Exceedance Probability Maps

    • Floodplain delineation, Hydrology, Hydraulics, Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling, Uncertainty, Risk Analysis, Stochastic Modeling, Rainfall, Runoff

    • This research presents two approaches to determining the effects of natural variability and model uncertainty on the extents of computed floodplain boundaries. The first approach represents the floodplain boundary as a spatial map of flood...
    • Phylogeny of the Polyneopterous Insects With Emphasis on Plecoptera: Molecular and Morpological...

    • Phylogeny of the Polyneopterous Insects With Emphasis on Plecoptera: Molecular and Morpological Evidence

    • Phylogeny, Sensitivity analysis, Polyneoptera, Lathonomeria, Dictyoptera, Blattodea, Mantodea, Isoptera, Grylloblattodea, Mantophasmatodea, Orthoptera, Embiidina, Phasmatodea, Zoraptera, Dermaptera, Plecoptera, Isogenoides, Drumming

    • Polyneoptera is an assemblage of eleven insect orders comprising the “orthopteroid” insects. It includes familiar insects such as grasshoppers, roaches, termites, earwigs and preying mantises; as well as the more obscure web-spinners,...
    • Communities, Place, and Conservation on Mount Kilimanjaro

    • Communities, Place, and Conservation on Mount Kilimanjaro

    • environment, conservation, community, sociology, geography, Mount Kilimanjaro, place, social resources, KINAPA

    • The Chagga people have lived and worked on Mount Kilimanjaro for more than 250 years. Through traditions and social practices within their communities and families, strong bonds are established between the Chagga and their home on the mountain....
    • Melioration and the Behavioral Addiction Process: An Experimental Analysis

    • Melioration and the Behavioral Addiction Process: An Experimental Analysis

    • melioration, addiction, maximization, behavioral decision, behavioral economics, key press, humans

    • Melioration can be a factor contributing to behavioral addiction. In this study, 76 university undergraduates operated a “money machine” by selecting between choices that corresponded to maximization and melioration. Participants initially...
    • Improving Electromagnetic Bias Estimates

    • Improving Electromagnetic Bias Estimates

    • EM bias, electromagnetic bias, physical optics, backscatter models, mean sea level, altimeter

    • The electromagnetic (EM) bias is the largest source of error in the TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1 satellite sea surface height (SSH) estimates. Due to incomplete understanding of the physical processes which cause the bias, current operational...
