Millions . .~: of Americans own individual tracts of woodland, many have shares in companies that manage forests, and all OWII the public lands managed by government agencies.

  • How to Use an Orienteering Thumb Compass Introduction
    http://lggagnon.wordpress.com/2012/07/20/how-to-use-an-orienteering-thumb-compass/ How to Use an Orienteering Thumb Compass Introduction The “thumb compass” was a slow revolution in the sport of orienteering when it was first designed by Suunto in 1983. Its use amongst orienteers is still not ubiquitous – but should be. Some orienteers still use the older technology small rectangular “base plate” O compasses. Typical thumb compass Typical baseplate compass The advantages of the thumb compass over the baseplate compass are significant and it is my suggestion that all orienteering coaches and O clubs should be teaching beginners the proper use of a thumb compass and should not even be selling base plate compasses. As far as I am concerned, base plate compasses confuse the orienteer by adding the unnecessary skill of rotating the compass bezel to take a compass bearing. Bearings are not really required in orienteering and the setting of such bearings will add minutes to your overall race time. All that is required is that the orienteer knows his/her position and that the north needle on the compass is aligned with the north lines on the map. Compass bearings give the orienteer a false sense of reliance on the compass rather than the map. Base plate compasses also make it more difficult to keep track of your position on the map. They also cover up more features on the map making it more difficult to navigate in open terrain. Lastly, they are more difficult to keep overlain on the map without using more finger and hand pressure and this can get uncomfortable over a longer O event.

We applied this integrated approach to two active sections of the Mt Vettore active fault segment which, in the Castelluccio di Norcia plain (central Italy), were affected by surface faulting after the most energetic events of the sequence: the 24 August, Mw 6.0, Amatrice and 30 October, Mw 6.5, Norcia earthquakes. The main aim is to establish the range in which the results obtained measuring the same structures using different tools vary. An operating procedure, which can be helpful to map extensive sets of coseismic ground ruptures especially where the latter affects wide, poorly accessible, or dangerous areas, is also proposed. We compared datasets collected through different technologies, including faults attitude, dip-angles, coseismic displacements, and slip vectors. After assessing the accuracy of the results, even at centimetric resolutions, we conclude that the structural dataset obtained through remote sensing techniques shows a high degree of reliability.

  • A Survey of User Interfaces for Computer Algebra Systems
    J. Symbolic Computation (1998) 25, 127–159 A Survey of User Interfaces for Computer Algebra Systems NORBERT KAJLER† AND NEIL SOIFFER‡§ †Ecole des Mines de Paris, 60 Bd. St-Michel, 75006 Paris, France ‡Wolfram Research, Inc., 100 Trade Center Drive, Champaign, IL 61820, U.S.A. This paper surveys work within the Computer Algebra community (and elsewhere) di- rected towards improving user interfaces for scientific computation during the period 1963–1994. It is intended to be useful to two groups of people: those who wish to know what work has been done and those who would like to do work in the field. It contains an extensive bibliography to assist readers in exploring the field in more depth. Work related to improving human interaction with computer algebra systems is the main focus of the paper. However, the paper includes additional materials on some closely related issues such as structured document editing, graphics, and communication protocols. c 1998 Academic Press Limited 1. Introduction There are several problems with current computer algebra systems (CASs) that are interface-related. These problems include: the use of an unnatural linear notation to enter and edit expressions, the inherent difficulty of selecting and modifying subexpressions with commands, and the display of large expressions that run off the screen. These problems may intimidate novice users and frustrate experienced users. The more natural and intuitive the interface (the closer it corresponds to pencil and paper manipulations), the more likely it is that people will want to take advantage of the CAS for its ability to do tedious computations and to verify derivations.

    THE PROCESS OF URBAN SYSTEMS An integrative approach towards the institutional process of systems integration in urban area development INTEGRATION MSc Thesis Eva Ros MSc Thesis November 2017 Eva Ros student number # 4188624 MSc Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences Delft University of Technology, department of Management in the Built Environment chair of Urban Area Development (UAD) graduation laboratory Next Generation Waterfronts in collaboration with the AMS institute First mentor Arie Romein Second mentor Ellen van Bueren This thesis was printed on environmentally friendly recycled and unbleached paper 2 THE PROCESS OF URBAN SYSTEMS INTEGRATION An integrative approach towards the institutional process of systems integration in urban area development 3 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY (ENG) INTRODUCTION Today, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities. This makes them centres of resource consumption and waste production. Sustainable development is seen as an opportunity to respond to the consequences of urbanisation and climate change. In recent years the concepts of circularity and urban symbiosis have emerged as popular strategies to develop sustainable urban areas. An example is the experimental project “Straat van de Toekomst”, implementing a circular strategy based on the Greenhouse Village concept (appendix I). This concept implements circular systems for new ways of sanitation, heat and cold storage and greenhouse-house symbiosis. Although many technological artefacts have to be developed for these sustainable solutions, integrating infrastructural systems asks for more than just technological innovation. A socio-cultural change is needed in order to reach systems integration. The institutional part of technological transitions has been underexposed over the past few years.

  • Ranger Manual EN 09.Indd
    RANGER COMPASS model: 515 A PRECISION INSTRUMENT DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE. INSTRUCTION MANUAL Your Silva Ranger Compass is a precision instrument made by experi- enced specialists in this field; it is the finest hand compass available for professional use. Your Silva Ranger is finely crafted to withstand rigors associated with the out- door professions. It is a rugged, durable piece of equipment that, with proper care, will remain dependable and accurate. We recommend that you read this manual to understand the basic functions of the compass. When you read, keep in mind that no two compass applications are identical. The instructions given here are intended to provide you with a working knowledge that you will be able to apply in almost any situation. The illustrated 360 Degree Graduations are based on standard dial graduations of 360 degrees, in 2º increments. With this graduation North is 0º and increases clockwise so East is 90º, South is 180º, West is 270º and 360º is again North. 0º and 360º are the same direction. The Silva Ranger Model 515CLQ has Quadrant Graduations. With this graduation North is 0º and increases clockwise so East is 90º then it decreases so South is 0º then increases so West is 90º and then decreases so North is 0º. Instructions in this manual will apply to this graduation except when it is necessary to refer to the proper “quadrant,” such as North 20º East, or North 15º West, or South 40º East or South l0º West. 2 sight compass cover mirror luminous points sighting line base plate black clinometer index pointer pointer orienting arrow with red north end magnetic needle with meridian lines red north liquid filled capsule 2X magnifier bezel with scale in mm 2º graduations scale in inches 3 General Suggestions Your Silva Ranger compass may be used for finding directions with or without the aid of the sighting mirror.
