  • Application of Seawinds Scatterometer Data to the Study of Antarctic Icebergs
    Application of SeaWinds Scatterometer Data to the Study of Antarctic Icebergs Keith M. Stuart A dissertation submitted to the faculty of Brigham Young University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy David G. Long, Chair Richard W. Christiansen David J. Comer Dah Jye Lee Julie C. Vanderhoff Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Brigham Young University December 2012 Copyright © 2012 Keith M. Stuart All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Application of SeaWinds Scatterometer Data to the Study of Antarctic Icebergs Keith M. Stuart Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Doctor of Philosophy Knowledge of iceberg location and size is important for safety reasons as well as for understanding many geophysical and biological processes. This dissertation analyzes large tab- ular icebergs in the Southern Ocean using the SeaWinds scatterometer. SeaWinds is a space- borne radar designed to measure the microwave backscatter from the Earth’s surface. Using resolution-enhancement techniques, backscatter measurements are processed into backscatter im- ages in which icebergs can be observed. An iceberg detection methodology is formalized using daily scatterometer images. Radar profiles from common Antarctic scatterers are quantified and an iceberg detection methodology is formalized using daily scatterometer images. Iceberg positions are determined in real-time and a time-series of iceberg positions is maintained in an Antarctic iceberg database. Using the Antarctic iceberg database, characteristic iceberg motion trends are identified. Iceberg detection and track- ing is demonstrated through real-time operational support of the 2005, 2008, and 2009 National Science Foundation Antarctic cruises. To supplement iceberg position reports, I develop multiple algorithms to estimate iceberg size and rotational orientation from backscatter images and from raw backscatter measurements.

  • A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements of the University of Lincoln for the Degree of MA by Research
    BOOKAZINES AND WHAT THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING THEM REVEALS ABOUT THE MAGAZINE INDUSTRY, USING MORTONS MEDIA AS A PARTICULAR CASE STUDY Ian James Barnsley A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Lincoln for the degree of MA by Research School of English & Journalism September 2019 1 Acknowledgements For their invaluable time, help, inspiration and encouragement while I worked on this thesis I would particularly like to thank my director of studies Jason Whittaker, as well as Jane Chapman, David Cobbald, David Bostock, Rory Day, Sharon Douglas, Richard Edwards, Tom Foxon, Tim Hartley, Marcus Hearn, Charlotte Hodgman, Patrick Horton, Matthew Jackson, Ben Jones, Dharmesh Mistry, Steve O’Hara, Mark Payton, George Reeve, Anne Saundry, Dan Savage, Dan Sharp, Ben Stokes, Philip Weeden and Jon White. Love and thanks to Tors and Hattie for allowing me the time and space to get on with my work 2 Abstract Magazine publishers are facing tough times. In most cases circulations are decreasing, fewer people are buying print magazines, as they can get much of the information they want for free online, and retailers are cutting the amount of newsstand space they have available for print products in favour of other, more profitable goods. Some publishers, like TI Media with Marie Claire as of September 2019, are no longer producing print versions of some of their magazines. Yet there remains hope for the future for print, and for many publishers the bookazine is proving to be an important weapon in their resistance against the decline. This thesis examines the nature of the bookazine as a print product, why publishers are producing them when the magazine industry is facing such challenging times, what their existence reveals about the magazine industry as a whole and its future.
