The application of LANDSAT remote sensing technology to natural resources management. Section 1: Introduction to VICAR - Image classification module. Section 2: Forest resource assessment of Humboldt County.

A teaching module on image classification procedures using the VICAR computer software package was developed to optimize the training benefits for users of the VICAR programs. The field test of the module is discussed. An intensive forest land inventory strategy was developed for Humboldt County. The results indicate that LANDSAT data can be computer classified to yield site specific forest resource information with high accuracy (82%). The "Douglas-fir 80%" category was found to cover approximately 21% of the county and "Mixed Conifer 80%" covering about 13%. The "Redwood 80%" resource category, which represented dense old growth trees as well as large second growth, comprised 4.0% of the total vegetation mosaic. Furthermore, the "Brush" and "Brush-Regeneration" categories were found to be a significant part of the vegetative community, with area estimates of 9.4 and 10.0%.

Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, 12th, Houston, TX, March 16-20, 1981, Proceedings. Section 1 - The moon. Section 2 - Planets, asteroids and satellites

Topics related to the mineralogy and petrology of lunar pristine rocks are considered, along with subjects concerning the mineralogy and geochemistry of lunar breccias. Other studies considered are connected with the lunar regolith, lunar surface geology, and aspects of lunar structure and evolution. Investigations regarding meteorites are reported, and a description is provided of explorations of Mars and Venus, giving attention to regional geology, surface properties, and the composition of Venus. Studies of the Galilean satellites are related to an Io thermal model with intermittent volcanism, the microstructure and particulate properties of the surfaces of Io and Ganymede, the structures on Europa, the sputter-generation of planetary coronae, the tectonic deformation of Galileo Regio and limits to the planetary expansion of Ganymede, and dark-ray craters on Ganymede. Experimental and theoretical studies concerning impact cratering are also considered.

Section 1. Method of determining mode shapes and natural frequencies of the NASA unmodified test structure. Section 2. Continuous beam closed from solution to the NASA-LSS astromast torsional vibration, appendix E

The methods used to determine the lower natural frequencies and their corresponding mode shapes of the NASA-LSS Astromast (Unmodified Test Structure), and the mass integrals associated with the mode shapes are illustrated. The test structure is modeled as a cantilever beam with 91 lumped masses and without the tip mass on the free end of the bram. This uncouples the torsion and bending modes and allows for them to be determined separately. The frequency range was limited to an upper bound of 100 rad/sec (15.92 Hz.). In this range from 0.-100. rad/sec, three bending frequencies and one torsion frequency was found.
