For the seismic data with low SNRs, the first arrival automatic picking method is very important but difficult. In the paper, we proposed a new method based on the mutual information in information theory. The mutual information between signals and noises is zeros, thus random noises have less effects on first arrivals pickup. The paper compares the principle of STA/LTA, AIC, fractal dimension of three kinds with the proposed method for seismic data first–break picking method, and at the same...

 Future Internet envisages a global network of Internet-enabled objects, in most cases mobile and wireless nodes, mainly accessible through web standards. This network connection implies a big flux of data through mobile devices and wireless networks, most of which are unstructured. Such data need to be structured, collected and/or organized in web-oriented formats to be published within every web framework and managed by a backend database structure. Focusing on the handling of digital...

 Mobile devices can provide the user location-dependent information services (LDISs), enhanced by prefetching the related information along with the route guidance based on user mobility mode. The current prefetching approaches are based on static assignments of probabilities of changing directions, hence the overall cache-miss for users are not reduced by the mobilities of the individuals. In this paper, we adopt the Prediction-by-Partial Match (PPM) technology to predict the best possible...

For square contingency tables with ordered categories, the present paper gives the theorem that the symmetry model holds if and only if four models of (1) cumulative sub-asymmetry, (2) palindromic symmetry, (3) global symmetry, and (4) marginal means equality, hold simultaneously. It analyzes some data using this decomposition.

 In this paper we propose and examine gap statisics for assessing uniform distribution hypotheses. We provide examples relevant to data integrity testing for which max-gap statistics provide greater sensitivity than chi-square , thus allowing the new test to be used in place of or as a complement to testing for purposes of distinguishing a larger class of deviations from uniformity. We establish that the proposed max-gap test has the same sequential and parallel computational complexity as and...

 Migration rate is a piece of critical information in social studies. It seems that other methods, rather than census which can perform better in costs and data updating, are more preferable. The purpose of this study was to investigate the estimation methods for internal migration based on formal information existing in databases which government can access and control; as well to propose solutions for accurately estimating integrated internal migration with the county resolution.

The validity of statistical analyses applied to identify different factors in many fields depends upon the use of appropriate sample sizes, the lack of which reduces the power of the findings. However, the number of cases collected for data analysis in medical studies is generally limited, for medical, financial and other experimental reasons, and statistical tests are often carried out without power and sample size estimation. Power analysis involvesseveral parameters, the most importantof...

Nuclear material accounting (NMA) is a component of nuclear safeguards, which are designed to deter and detect illicit diversion of special nuclear material (SNM) from the peaceful fuel cycle to a weapons program. NMA consists of periodically, but at relatively low frequency, comparing measured SNM inputs to measured SNM outputs, and adjusting for measured changes in inventory. Process monitoring (PM) is a relatively recent component of safeguards that consists of data more frequently collected...

Raw digital data, as received from the LANDSAT spacecraft, cannot generate images that meet specifications. Radiometric corrections must be made to compensate for aging and for differences in sensitivity among the instrument sensors. Geometric corrections must be made to compensate for off-nadir look angle, and to calculate spacecraft drift from its prescribed path. Corrections must also be made for look-angle jitter caused by vibrations induced by spacecraft equipment. The major components of...

Previous aerodynamic heating tests have been conducted in the AEDC/VKF Supersonic Wind Tunnel (A) to aid in defining the design thermal environment for the space shuttle external tank. The quality of these data has been under discussion because of the effects of low tunnel enthalpy and slow model injection rates. Recently the AEDC/VKF Hypersonic Wind Tunnel (C) has been modified to provide a Mach 4 capability that has significantly higher tunnel enthalpy with more rapid model injection rates....

Dating by measurement of impact crater frequencies developed in the past years primarily on the basis of the data from the missions to the Moon and Mars. The method allows a good relative dating to be obtained and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn through photographic analyses. A cratering chronology was obtained for the period between the oldest Moon crust (4.3 to 4.4 billion years) to the present time which gives a good absolute dating of any areas of the Moon's surface.

The large space structures technology development missions to be performed on an early manned space station was studied and defined and the resources needed and the design implications to an early space station to carry out these large space structures technology development missions were determined. Emphasis is being placed on more detail in mission designs and space station resource requirements.

The Advanced Flexible Reusable Surface Insulation (AFRSI) test article was wind tunnel tested. The AFRSI was exposed to a simulated ascent airloads environment and data was obtained which could be used to support the AFRSI certification program. The AFRSI sequence of environments also included radiant heating (1500 degrees Fahrenheit) and wind/rain environments. The test article was wind/rain conditioned before each wind tunnel entry and was thermally conditioned after each wind tunnel entry....

Self streamlining two dimensional flexible walled test sections eliminate the uncertainties found in data from conventional test sections particularly at transonic speeds. The test section sidewalls are rigid, while the floor and ceiling are flexible and are positioned to streamline shapes by a system of jacks, without reference to the model. The walls are therefore self streamlining. Data are taken from the model when the walls are good streamlines such that the inevitable residual wall...

Techniques in computer-aided geometry modeling and their application are addressed. Mathematical modeling, solid geometry models, management of geometric data, development of geometry standards, and interactive and graphic procedures are discussed. The applications include aeronautical and aerospace structures design, fluid flow modeling, and gas turbine design.
