The Technology Application Center (TAG) has made a major effort in order to provide a review of this rapidly advancing field with its Quarterly Literature Review of the Remote Sensing of Natural Resources. This service has been initiated to provide the investigator with up-to-date informa- tion in a readable and indexed form. In an attempt to review the literature of remote sensing from the many hundreds of sources and thousands of documents available, a definition of boundaries was necessary. TAG, reviewing abstracted literature sources (see Information Sources), selects documented data and data gathering techniques which are performed or obtained remotely from space, aircraft or groundbased stations. All of the documentation is related to remote sensing sensors or the remote sensing of the natural resources. Meteorology and extraterrestrial sensing are normally not selected. Sensors are primarily those operating within the 10~8 to 1 meter wavelength band (ultraviolet through radar). There are exceptions to this when overlapping data is reported, and these have been selected. Beginning January 1977, following the Information Source descriptions are recent releases concerning remote sensing. Included are NASA Tech Briefs, ARAC Industrial Applications Reports, U.S. Navy Technical Reports, U.S. Patent reports, and other technical articles arid reports that come to the attention of the TAG staff. This section has not been key worded or numbered.. •• "•-.-.•. •- -;'•-• '.": •:/-:l:-:-~,.''. Editors • '"' ••-.-..-... " Charles B. Fears Michael H. Inglis v USSR GUIDE This Quarterly Literature Review has been divided into eight sections as shown in the table of contents. Within each section, the abstracts have been provided an RS number. This number indicates the section, as RS74-4 indicates Marine Science or Section 4 in the table of contents. The numbers following the section identification place the abstract in numerical order within that section. RS75-4-Q23 abstract number section number year of quarterly issue _Remote S_ensing In the absence of page numbers, the section and number provide ready access to the abstract. All abstracts within this Quarterly Literature Review have been "key-worded" by'the TAG staff. Key words include generalized terms used or indicated by the title or abstract. The first author's last name, shown on the abstract, is also used as a key word and is indicated by an asterisk (*). This provides an author index within the key word index found in Section 7, Alphabetical Index of Authors and Key Words. Sample key-wording (key words used are underlined): RS75-4-015 Evaluate the Application of SRTS-A Data for Detecting and Mapping Sea Ice; James C. Barnes, Principal Investigator Section 8 contains an order form for the document service pro- vided by the Technology Application Center. In order to facilitate this service, complete Quarterly numbers, RS numbers and abstract titles are necessary. ~ VI INFORMATION SOURCES The following list describes the information resources currently used by the Technology Application Center for the Remote Sensing Quarterly Review. I. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) The NASA file, dating from 1962, contains more than 600,000 documents and grows at the rate of 70,000 new entries each year. It is approximately 16% NASA-generated, the bulk of the citations being reports collected by NASA from world- wide sources for use in the aerospace program. These articles are abstracted in two semi-monthly journals: A. International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA) IAA is an abstractive and indexing service covering the world's published literature in the field of aero- nautics and space science and technology. Periodicals, books, meeting papers, conference proceedings, trans- lations of foreign journal articles, .and aerospace reports are typically abstracted by IAA. B. Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) STAR is a comprehensive abstracting and indexing journal covering current worldwide report literature on the science and technology of space and aeronautics. Publications abstracted in STAR include scientific and technical reports issued by NASA and its contractors, other U.S. Government agencies, corporations, universities, and research organizations throughout the world. Pertinent theses, translations, NASA-owned patents and patent applications, and other separate documents are also abstracted. II. Engineering Index Monthly (EIM) The Engineering Index Monthly is a compilation of abstracts and items covering the world's significant technological literature Vii and conferences encompassing all engineering disciplines. The EIM covers the technological side of Remote Sensing with such subjects as new equipment and techniques, and specific field applications of engineering methods and devices. III. Selected Water Resources Abstracts Selected Water Resources Abstracts is published by the Water Resources Scientific Information Center, Office of Water Resources Research, U.S. Department of the Interior. It includes abstracts of current and earlier pertinent . monographs, journal articles, reports, and other publication formats. IV. Government Reports Announcements (GRA) GRA is published by the National Technical ' Infor- mation Service (NTIS) , Springfield, Virginia. The NTIS collection now exceeds 730,000 titles, to which some 60,000 new reports are added annually. Abstracts cover environ- mental surveys, energy source prospecting (minerals, geo- thermal sources, etc.), oceanography, hydrology, climate, agriculture, geology, tracing of tagged wildlife, and more esoteric aspects of this field. V. Bibliography and Index of Geology Bibliography and Index of Geology is published by the Geological Society of America in Boulder, Colorado, and covers the earth science .literature of the entire world and theses in North America. VI. ERDA Energy Research Abstracts (ERA) ERA covers scientific and technical reports origi- nated by the U.S. Energy Research and Development Adminis- tration and its contractors, other U.S. Government agencies, other governments, universitites, and industrial and re- search organizations. In addition, books, conference pro- ceedings, individual conference papers, patents, and journal literature on a worldwide basis are abstracted and indexed. Subjects covered by ERA include energy systems, conservation, safety, environmental protection, physical research and biology and medicine.

Frederiksen, Kai Sorensen. Light Res. Technol., V8, N4, p. 175- 186, 1976 A method of classifying road surfaces with respect to their light reflection properties has been developed. The classification system unifies the four existine N classes for dry road surfaces and four new classes for wet road surfaces. The classification system has been developed by statistical analysis of a great number of measure- ments of road surfaces, in both dry and wet conditions. The system of classes is intended for use in road lighting codes based on luminance requirements, and especially such codes which contain luminance requirements for both dry and wet conditions. The system of classes will also be useful for investigations on optimal latern light distributions and road lighting geometries.

As normally happens in a diverse scientific community, the interpretations of specialized lunar data have reflected the precepts in the various specialized fields. Constant promotion of the broadest overviews between these diverse fields is appropriate to identify processes or phenomenon recog- nized in one avenue of investigation which may have great importance in explaining the data of other specialities.

    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.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

    Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America There are approximately 101,135sexual abuse claims filed. Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.

It was intended to be automated and printed out but this form was going to be delayed for a year or more so the catalog part has been typed instead. Lunar transient phenomena have been observed for almost 1 1/2 millenia, both by the naked eye and telescopic aid. The author has been collecting these reports from the literature and personal communications for the past 17 years. It has resulted in a listing of 1468 reports representing only slight searching of the literature and probably only a fraction of the number of anomalies actually seen. The phenomena are unusual instances of temporary changes seen by observers that they reported in journals, books, and other literature. Therefore, although it seems we may be able to suggest possible aberrations as the causes of some or many of the phenomena it is presumptuous of us to think that these observers, long time students of the moon, were not aware of most of them.

The framework emphasizes five phases of reading instruction in a content domain: observing and personalizing, searching and retrieving, comprehending and integrating, communicating to others, and interacting with peers to construct meaning. Instruction was implemented in .1 year-long curriculum with a multicultural population of fifth-grade students in a Chapter 1 school in Prince George's County,Maryland. Measures of learning suggested that students who had Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) for 4 months surpassed a comparison classroom in amount and breadth of reading and intrinsic motivations forreading. The CORI students gained significantly in the cognitive strategiesof search and comprehension during the 4 months. CORI instruction was contrasted to experience-based teaching and strategies instructionin terms of their support for motivational and cognitive development.

    1 David Elijah Packer: cluster variables, meteors and the solar corona Jeremy Shears Abstract David Elijah Packer (1862-1936), a librarian by profession, was an enthusiastic amateur astronomer who observed from London and Birmingham. He first came to the attention of the astronomical community in 1890 when he discovered a variable star in the globular cluster M5, only the second periodic variable to be discovered in a globular cluster. He also observed meteors and nebulae, on one occasion reporting a brightening in the nucleus of the galaxy M77. However, his remarkable claims in 1896 that he had photographed the solar corona in daylight were soon shown to be flawed. Biographical sketch David Elijah Packer was born in Bermondsey, London, in 1862 April (1) the eldest child of Edward Packer (1820-1896) and Emma (Bidmead) Packer (1831-1918) (2). David attended the Free Grammar School of Saint Olave and Saint John at Southwark, where he performed well, especially in arithmetic, algebra and general mathematics (3). Edward Packer was a basket maker, as was his father and grandfather before him, the Packer family originally coming to London from Thanet, in Kent. The English basket-making industry was in decline during the second half of the nineteenth century due to the availability of cheaper imports from the continent. In spite of this, Edward was still in business in 1881, but the prospects for his son continuing in a trade that had made a living for generations of his ancestors were probably limited (4). Thus at the age of 18 we find David Elijah Packer working as an Oilman’s Assistant, supplying fuel for the oil lamps of London (5).
