J. L. Fastook and J. W. Head. Amazonian non-polar glaciation: Supply-limited glacial history and the role of ice sequestration. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXXIV, #1256, 2013. Introduction: A wide range of evidence shows that the current distribution of ice on the surface is anomalous, and that the Amazonian period was characterized by a variety of non-polar ice-related […]

Published: Jan 1, 2013 Author(s): Fastook, James L., Hughes, Terry J. Abstract: Paleoglaciology deals with glaciation cycles of the Quaternary Ice Age. It combines the dynamics of present-day ice sheets deduced from glaciology with the history of former ice sheets deduced from glacial geology. Cosmogenic dating now makes a detailed chronology of a cycle possible. Radiocarbon dating has […]

Published: Jan 1, 2013 Author(s): Fastook, James L., Head, James W., Marchant, David R. Abstract: Lobate debris aprons (LDA) are lobate-shaped aprons surrounding scarps and isolated massifs that are concentrated in the vicinity of the northern Dichotomy Boundary on Mars. LDAs have been interpreted as (1) ice-cemented talus aprons undergoing viscous flow, (2) local debris-covered alpine-like glaciers, or (3) […]

Abstract: The International Conference on Security and Management, or SAM, is an “annual comprehensive security conference dealing with all aspects of security. It is a leading international opportunity for computer and network security professionals and users to investigate innovative ideas and outcomes, […]

Prague, Czech Republic. August 26–29, 2013. Abstract: This paper describes the design, implementation, and deployment of an application server whose primary infrastructure is an elastic cloud of servers. […]

Published: Jan 1, 2010 Author(s): King, Kraig, Nittel, Silvia Abstract: Using wireless geosensor networks (WGSN), sensor nodes often monitor a phenomenon that is both continuous in time and space. However, sensor nodes take discrete samples, and an analytical framework inside or outside the WSN is used to analyze the phenomenon.. In both cases, expensive communication is used to […]

Published: Oct 1, 2009 Author(s): Guidice, Nicholas A., Klatzky, Roberta L., Loomis, Jack M. Abstract: Participants learned circular layouts of 6 objects presented haptically or visually, then indicated the direction from a start target to an end target of the same or different modality (intra-modal versus inter-modal). When objects from the two modalities were learned separately, superior performance for […]

Published: Jan 1, 2010 Author(s): Bakdash, Jonathan Z., Guidice, Nicholas A., Legge, Gordon E., Roy, Rudrava Abstract: We report on three experiments that investigate the efficacy of a new type of interface, called a virtual verbal display (VVD) for non-visual learning and navigation of computer-based virtual environments (VEs). Although verbal information has been studied for route-guidance, little is known about […]

Published: Nov 1, 2009 Author(s): Dube, Matthew P., Egenhofer, Max J. Abstract: Naive Geography’s premise “Topology matters, metric refines” calls for metric properties that provide opportunities for finer grained distinctions than the purely qualitative topological relations. This paper defines a comprehensive set of eleven metric refinements that apply to the eight coarse topological relations between two regions that […]
