  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Wallace Eckert
    Wallace Eckert Nakumbuka Dk Eckert aliniambia, "Siku moja, kila mtu atakuwa na kompyuta kwenye dawati lao." Macho yangu yalifunguka. Hiyo lazima iwe katika miaka mapema ya 1950’s. Aliona mapema. -Eleanor Krawitz Kolchin, mahojiano ya Huffington Post, Februari 2013. Picha: Karibu 1930, Jalada la Columbiana. Wallace John Eckert, 1902-1971. Pamoja na masomo ya kuhitimu huko Columbia, Chuo Kikuu cha Chicago, na Yale, alipokea Ph.D. kutoka Yale mnamo 1931 chini ya Profesa Ernest William Brown (1866-1938), ambaye alitumia kazi yake katika kuendeleza nadharia ya mwongozo wa mwezi. Maarufu zaidi kwa mahesabu ya mzunguko wa mwezi ambayo yaliongoza misheni ya Apollo kwenda kwa mwezi, Eckert alikuwa Profesa wa Sayansi ya Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia kutoka 1926 hadi 1970, mwanzilishi na Mkurugenzi wa Ofisi ya Taasisi ya Taaluma ya Thomas J. Watson katika Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia (1937-40), Mkurugenzi wa Ofisi ya Amerika ya US Naval Observatory Nautical Almanac (1940-45), na mwanzilishi na Mkurugenzi wa Maabara ya Sayansi ya Watson ya Sayansi katika Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia (1945-1966). Kwanza kabisa, na daima ni mtaalam wa nyota, Eckert aliendesha na mara nyingi alisimamia ujenzi wa mashine za kompyuta zenye nguvu kusuluhisha shida katika mechanics ya mbinguni, haswa ili kuhakikisha, kupanua, na kuboresha nadharia ya Brown. Alikuwa mmoja wa kwanza kutumia mashine za kadi za kuchomwa kwa suluhisho la shida tata za kisayansi. Labda kwa maana zaidi, alikuwa wa kwanza kusasisha mchakato wakati, mnamo 1933-34, aliunganisha mahesabu na kompyuta za IBM kadhaa na mzunguko wa vifaa na vifaa vya muundo wake ili kusuluhisha usawa wa aina, njia ambazo baadaye zilibadilishwa na kupanuliwa kwa IBM ya "Aberdeen "Calculator inayoweza kupatikana ya Udhibiti wa Mpangilio, Punch Kuhesabu elektroniki, Calculator ya Kadi iliyopangwa, na SSEC.

    LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC ORTHOPHOTOMAP (LTO) AND LUNAR ORTHOPHOTMAP (LO) SERIES (Published by DMATC) Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Scale: 1:250,000 Projection: Transverse Mercator Sheet Size: 25.5”x 26.5” The Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Series are the first comprehensive and continuous mapping to be accomplished from Apollo Mission 15-17 mapping photographs. This series is also the first major effort to apply recent advances in orthophotography to lunar mapping. Presently developed maps of this series were designed to support initial lunar scientific investigations primarily employing results of Apollo Mission 15-17 data. Individual maps of this series cover 4 degrees of lunar latitude and 5 degrees of lunar longitude consisting of 1/16 of the area of a 1:1,000,000 scale Lunar Astronautical Chart (LAC) (Section 4.2.1). Their apha-numeric identification (example – LTO38B1) consists of the designator LTO for topographic orthophoto editions or LO for orthophoto editions followed by the LAC number in which they fall, followed by an A, B, C or D designator defining the pertinent LAC quadrant and a 1, 2, 3, or 4 designator defining the specific sub-quadrant actually covered. The following designation (250) identifies the sheets as being at 1:250,000 scale. The LTO editions display 100-meter contours, 50-meter supplemental contours and spot elevations in a red overprint to the base, which is lithographed in black and white. LO editions are identical except that all relief information is omitted and selenographic graticule is restricted to border ticks, presenting an umencumbered view of lunar features imaged by the photographic base.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The first complete genome sequences of the acI lineage, the most abundant freshwater Received: 10 June 2016 Accepted: 06 January 2017 Actinobacteria, obtained by whole- Published: 10 February 2017 genome-amplification of dilution- to-extinction cultures Ilnam Kang, Suhyun Kim, Md. Rashedul Islam & Jang-Cheon Cho The acI lineage of the phylum Actinobacteria is the most abundant bacterial group in most freshwater lakes. However, due to difficulties in laboratory cultivation, only two mixed cultures and some incomplete single-amplified or metagenome-derived genomes have been reported for the lineage. Here, we report the initial cultivation and complete genome sequences of four novel strains of the acI lineage from the tribes acI-A1, -A4, -A7, and -C1. The acI strains, initially isolated by dilution-to- extinction culturing, eventually failed to be maintained as axenic cultures. However, the first complete genomes of the acI lineage were successfully obtained from these initial cultures through whole genome amplification applied to more than hundreds of cultured acI cells. The genome sequences exhibited features of genome streamlining and showed that the strains are aerobic chemoheterotrophs sharing central metabolic pathways, with some differences among tribes that may underlie niche diversification within the acI lineage. Actinorhodopsin was found in all strains, but retinal biosynthesis was complete in only A1 and A4 tribes. Considering the influence of inland waters on global climate change1,2 and the essential roles of microbes in biogeochemical processes3, studies on major bacterial groups in freshwater environments are important. The acI lineage of the phylum Actinobacteria, comprised of ~13 tribes belonging to acI-A, -B, or -C sublineages, repre- sents one of the most widespread and abundant bacterial groups in freshwater environments4,5.
