More than 150 years ago, the invention of the camera, a now every day item, was made and its later counterparts would be the technology to predict deadly catastrophes and save millions of people. This modern technology is known as remote sensing. The term “remote sensing” was used first by Evelyn Pruitt of the U.S. Office of Naval Research in the 1950s. It is “commonly used to describe science-and art-of identifying, observing, and measuring an object without coming into direct contact with it”…

Who was Alfred Wegener? Alfred Wegener was born in Berlin, Germany on November 1, 1880. He was a meteorologist (a person who studies the atmosphere and its weather (Meteorology, n.d.)) and geologist (a person who studies about the Earth’s history through rocks, layers of soil, etc. (Geology, n.d.)). In the early twentieth century, Wegener championed the continental drift theory. In 1904, he attended University of Berlin, where is he studied natural sciences also, received his doctorate in…

El Dorado International Airport Airside Analysis El Dorado International airport was built in 1953 and since then, the airport has been renovated to adapt to the fast rhythm of aviation. The following paper will summarized important information regarding the airport 's airside and an analysis will be done to see if the current procedures and airport configuration is meeting the current and future needs as well as the capacity levels to operate in an efficient way. El Dorado Airport Airside…

Did you know that Yuri Gagarin, the first man to enter space, died at the age of 34 in a plane crash in 1968? Gagarin was an astronaut of the Soviet Union, also known as the USSR. In April of 1961, aboard the Vostok 1, Gagarin earned his place in the history books by being the first man to enter space. However, a few years before this in August of 1957, history is was also made when the USSR successfully developed a sufficient space launch vehicle in the form of the R7 Semyorka. Thus, the space…

Introduction: One of the Victorian ecosystems that interested to me and that is Red Gum. It is generally found at low altitudes (below 500m) in low to medium rainfall area (250-1000mm) with best suited to flat/ gently rolling country with near watercourses or on alluvial soils due to the periodic floods. Ecosystem of the Red Gum varies across the state due to the climatic and geographic range. One particular Red Gum site is listed on the Living Murray initiative which is Barmah-Millewa Forest,…

geography and landscape of the land and waterways. “They are the apogee of the American Enlightenment, cataloging and analyzing information and discoveries embracing geography, botany, zoology, astronomy, geology, ethnography, linguistics, and meteorology” (Schwarz 169). Even though many Federalists disagreed with the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the expedition still proceeded. Therefore, if Thomas Jefferson had not been elected into office, the United States would not have grown further west…

The visible pulse (gating pulse) enters the microscope, and together with the ultrafast electron pulses illuminate the nanostructure specimen (gold nanoparticle). The visible laser pulse kept at low power (~1.8 mJ/cm2) to avoid saturation. At the spatiotemporal overlapping, the coupling between the visible and electron pulses takes place. The signature of this coupling can be revealed by measuring the electron energy spectrum using the electron energy spectrometer attached to the microscope. The…

collecting data, from its landing on July 4, 1997 to September 27, 1997 which ended up being a total of 83 days. The lander itself (Carl Sagan Memorial Station) collected data via the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) and Atmospheric Structure Instrument/Meteorology Package (ASI/MET) (Nelson). The Sojourner rover was equipped with an Alpha/Proton/X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) and rover imaging cameras (Nelson). The mission was developed in only three years while only spending $265 million (JPL,…
