A Java library for dynamically loading and executing remote Octave functions

Mark Royer, Sudarshan S. Chawathe, Andrei V. Kurbatov, Paul A. Mayewski. A Java library for dynamically loading and executing remote Octave functions. Borns Symposium, April 2014. Abstract: We describe a technique for loading and executing Octave functions remotely from a Java application. There are many scientific re-sampling techniques developed for Octave, and new functions are constantly being […]

In Praise of Small Data

George Markowsky, In Praise of Small Data, International Workshop on Big Data Analytics for Predictive Organization and Big Transformations Stanford, CA, USA, May 27, 2014 (in press) Abstract: Big Data tools can give “explanations” of complex and elaborate data sets. There is the danger that we might be content with the explanations that these tools produce. It is […]

Late noachian icy highlands: Patterns of ice accumulation and flow

J. L. Fastook and J. W. Head. Late noachian icy highlands: Patterns of ice accumulation and flow. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXXV, #1115, 2014. Introduction: The record of non-polar ice deposits throughout the Amazonian suggest a cold and dry climate not significantly different from the present climate observed on Mars [1], where latitudinal movement of ice is […]

Amazonian mid- to high-latitude glaciation on Mars: Supply-limited ice sources, ice accumulation patterns, and concentric crater fill glacial flow and ice sequestration

J. L. Fastook and J. W. Head. Amazonian mid- to high-latitude glaciation on Mars: Supply-limited ice sources, ice accumulation patterns, and concentric crater fill glacial flow and ice sequestration. Planetary and Space Science, 91:60–76, doi: 10.1016/j.pss.2013.12.002, 2014. Abstract: Concentric crater fill (CCF) occurs in the interior of impact craters in mid- to high latitudes on Mars and […]

Crossing the Boundary: Two Benchmarks for Qualitative Spatial Reasoning bridging Relative Directions and Mereotopology

Andre van Delden and Reinhard Moratz. “Crossing the Boundary: Two Benchmarks for Qualitative Spatial Reasoning bridging Relative Directions and Mereotopology”, Spatial Cognition, 2014 (in press) Abstract: A well known problem of classical Qualitative Spatial Reasoning relying on composition tables is the strict division of different spatial aspects. For example, when dealing with relative directional relations, mereotopological […]

Late noachian “icy highlands” mars: Implications for melting and groundwater recharge across the tharsis rise

J. P. Cassanelli, J. W. Head, and J.L. Fastook. Late noachian “icy highlands” mars: Implications for melting and groundwater recharge across the tharsis rise. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXXV, #1501, 2014. Introduction: Results from modeling of an early CO2 martian atmosphere and late Noachian climate predict that at pressures greater than a fraction of a bar, atmosphere-surface […]
