This document presents a genetic algorithm approach for mission and safety planning with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It combines two existing genetic algorithm architectures - a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA4m) for mission path planning and a multi-population genetic algorithm (MPGA4s) for replanning paths under critical situations. The proposed approach embeds both architectures into a single hardware system called MOSA (Mission Oriented Sensor Array) for mission supervision and IFA (In-Flight Awareness) for safety supervision. Computational results show the approach can find good solutions for both path planning and replanning within hardware limitations of onboard processors.

Dynamic assignment of traffic classes to a priority queue in a packet forward...Tal Lavian Ph.D.
This patent application describes a method for dynamically assigning traffic classes to priority queues in a packet forwarding device. The method involves monitoring bandwidth consumption of different types of packet traffic and determining if any type exceeds a threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the traffic type is reassigned from a higher priority queue to a lower priority queue. The goal is to dynamically adjust queue assignments based on current bandwidth usage to prioritize high bandwidth flows when necessary.

In the current study of mining activity within the Russian platform, we use the advantages of location and historical bulletins/catalogues of mining explosions recorded by small-aperture seismic array Mikhnevo (MHVAR). The Institute of Geospheres Dynamics (IDG) of the Russian Academy of Sciences runs seismic array MHVAR (54.950N; 37.767E) since 2004.
Small-aperture seismic array “Mikhnevo” includes ten vertical stations (solid triangles), with one station in the geometrical centre of the array (C00) and other nine stations distributed over three circles with radii of 130 m, 320 m, and 600 m. The array aperture in approximately 1.1 km. Two 3C stations (solid triangles in circles) were added to the outer circle in order to improve the overall stations sensitivity (detection threshold) and resolution. All stations are equipped with short-period seismometers SM3-KV, which are characterized by flat response between 0.8 Hz and 30 Hz and gain of 180,000 [Vs/m]. Later, a 3C broad band station (BB) was installed in the centre of the array for surface wave measurements. The array response function (only for 12 vertical channels) is similar to that for many small-aperture arrays. Such arrays are designed to measure high-frequency signals from regional and near-regional sources with magnitudes above 1.5-2.0.
Page 4
MHVAR detects regional seismic phases (Pn, Sn, Lg, Rg) from various sources. Figure shows some selected waveforms with source-station distance decreasing up-down. Correspondingly the length of records decreases – for the closest mines it’s harder to distinguish between P and S phases.
Page 5
More than 50 areas at regional and near regional distances with different levels of mining activity have been identified by MHVAR. Since 2004, thousands of events have been reported in the IDG seismic catalogue as mining explosions. The IDG publishes this mining event catalogue as a part of the annual issues of “Earthquakes in Russia”, which is available for the broader geophysical community. The map shows several selected mines at near-regional distances where MHVAR successfully detects events with magnitudes 1.0 and lower. We also show a few selected mines at regional distances with the largest events of magnitude (ML) 2.0 and above. Such events should be also detected by IMS arrays. Joint interpretation of signals detected by MHVAR and IMS arrays allows significant improvements in signal detection, location, characterization and identification of events in the IDG catalogue when the historical data are revisited. The work on joint analysis of the IDG and IMS data is possible under the “Contract for limited access to IMS data and IDC products” between the CTBTO and IDG, which allows obtaining data through 2011.
To begin with, we have chosen blasts with larger magnitudes from well-known ironstone mine Mikhailovskiy (red circle), which is situated at regional distances somewhere between MHVAR (~330 km) and IMS array AKASG

Primary Task Response
: Have you ever attended a play or musical? Do you frequently watch television programs or movies? Nowadays, drama is more popular in American culture than ever before. Yet what some forget is that it is a literary art form crafted by playwrights, TV and comedy writers, and Hollywood screenwriters. Drama shares many of the same elements as fiction and poetry; however, this literary genre is designed to be acted out on a stage or “dramatized” in front of screen audiences.
After you read the assigned essays in the textbook (and possibly the optional Seinfeld episode, “The Pitch”), please discuss the following questions:
Why, in your opinion, are dramas known as “plays?”
Talk about a time in which you attended a play, musical or opera—at a school, church or other public venue. Describe the experience: the sights and sounds, the mood of the audience, and the impact of seeing a drama performed on a live stage.
Have you ever acted and/or sung in a dramatic presentation? If so, depict for your classmates what it was like to be up on a stage performing material from a script. If you have never performed dramatic material, have you ever desired to? Why or why not?
Describe a favorite television show or movie in terms of its main characters, setting(s), basic plot, conflicts and themes. What makes it one of your favorites?

Missouri was International Shoe Corporation's principal place of business, but the company employed between 11 and 13 salespersons in the state of Washington who exhibited samples and solicited orders for shoes from prospective buyers in Washington. The state of Washington assessed the company for contributions to a state unemployment fund. The state served the assessment on one of International Shoe Corporation's sales representatives in Washington and sent a copy by registered mail to the company's Missouri headquarters. International Shoe's representative challenged the assessment on numerous grounds, arguing that the state had not properly served the corporation. Is the corporation's defense valid? Why or why not?

The Robinsons, residents of New York, bought a new Audi car from Seaway Volkswagen Corp., a retailer incorporated in New York and with its principal place of business there. World-Wide Volkswagen, a company incorporated in New York and doing business in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, distributed the car to Seaway. Neither Seaway nor World-Wide did business in Oklahoma, and neither company shipped cars there. The Robinsons were driving through Oklahoma when another vehicle struck their Audi in the rear. The gas tank of the Audi exploded, injuring several members of the family. The Robinsons brought a product liability suit against the manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of the car in an Oklahoma state court. Seaway and World-Wide argued that the Oklahoma state court did not have

Kingston, however, passed an ordinance prohibiting adult businesses from operating within 300 feet of any church, school, nursery, public park, or residential property. Le Cabaret 481 filed a suit against the city, arguing that the ordinance left no feasible locations in the city for an adult business and thus violated the company's First Amendment right to free expression. The city, on the other hand, argued that Le Cabaret 481 did not present a ripe case to the court because the company had not applied for a building permit for its adult business. The company argued that it could not find a location for which it could apply for a permit. Do you think Le Cabaret 481 satisfied the ripeness requirement for its suit against the city?

Review the following scenario:
You are a Wichita Police Department detective working in the major crimes unit, and you are assigned to a joint federal–state–city crime task force working on a number of major drug cases. Over a period of several months, your task force has been able to gather information and make cases on several of the drug suppliers, drug dealers, and drug buyers in the Wichita metropolitan area. The task force is about to complete its mission by filing criminal charges in the federal district court, the state district court, or the Wichita Municipal Court against these various suspects. These suspects will not be arrested until the warrants are issued.
Your job is to make recommendations concerning which jurisdictions should file the charges on which defendants. You will need to evaluate the criminal statutes and penalties in each jurisdiction and even the rules of evidence to determine where your task force has the best chance of obtaining a conviction and in getting the punishment to fit the crime.
The memo that you receive from your Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force supervisor explains the situation:
MEMO
Re: Charging Decisions
You are the primary investigator in the cases against Jones, Smith, and Thompson. As I review your reports, it appears that each of these cases has strengths and weaknesses that we should evaluate before we determine whether to file charges in the U.S. District Court, the Sedgwick County District Court for the State of Kansas, or the Wichita Municipal Court. I will summarize those strengths and weaknesses here to make sure I am reading your reports correctly. I need you to give me advice on where you think these charges should be brought.
Jones has been working for you as a confidential informant because you have evidence against him for a February 6, 2005 third possession of cocaine after convictions in 1993 and 1994. He appears to have followed the terms of his deal with you to introduce our undercover agents to his dealer. We have promised not to prosecute for any drug offenses he may commit in the presence of our undercover agent while playing the role of our informant. His assistance has enabled us to get sufficient evidence on Smith and Thompson to obtain convictions. Based on Jones’ two prior convictions for possession of cocaine, we would normally want him to go to federal court, where the maximum sentences are available. However, because of his cooperation, we could file the case in the Sedgwick County, Kansas, and district court under state law. We could even change the charge to a drug paraphernalia offense and send his case to the city of Wichita.
How do you think we should proceed concerning Jones' February 6, 2005 cocaine possession? (30%)
He will probably plead guilty unless we send him to federal court. Where do you want to file it? (20%)
Smith has sold cocaine to our undercover agents on two occasions: Ju.

After you read the assigned essays in the textbook (and possibly the optional Seinfeld episode, “The Pitch”), please discuss the following questions:
Why, in your opinion, are dramas known as “plays?”
Talk about a time in which you attended a play, musical or opera—at a school, church or other public venue. Describe the experience: the sights and sounds, the mood of the audience, and the impact of seeing a drama performed on a live stage.
Have you ever acted and/or sung in a dramatic presentation? If so, depict for your classmates what it was like to be up on a stage performing material from a script. If you have never performed dramatic material, have you ever desired to? Why or why not?
Describe a favorite television show or movie in terms of its main characters, setting(s), basic plot, conflicts and themes. What makes it one of your favorites?

Missouri was International Shoe Corporation's principal place of business, but the company employed between 11 and 13 salespersons in the state of Washington who exhibited samples and solicited orders for shoes from prospective buyers in Washington. The state of Washington assessed the company for contributions to a state unemployment fund. The state served the assessment on one of International Shoe Corporation's sales representatives in Washington and sent a copy by registered mail to the company's Missouri headquarters. International Shoe's representative challenged the assessment on numerous grounds, arguing that the state had not properly served the corporation. Is the corporation's defense valid? Why or why not?

The Robinsons, residents of New York, bought a new Audi car from Seaway Volkswagen Corp., a retailer incorporated in New York and with its principal place of business there. World-Wide Volkswagen, a company incorporated in New York and doing business in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, distributed the car to Seaway. Neither Seaway nor World-Wide did business in Oklahoma, and neither company shipped cars there. The Robinsons were driving through Oklahoma when another vehicle struck their Audi in the rear. The gas tank of the Audi exploded, injuring several members of the family. The Robinsons brought a product liability suit against the manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of the car in an Oklahoma state court. Seaway and World-Wide argued that the Oklahoma state court did not have
in personam
jurisdiction over them. After the state's trial court and supreme court held that the state did have
in personam
jurisdiction over Seaway and World-Wide, the companies appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. How do you think the Court decided in this case? Why? [

Le Cabaret 481, Inc., an adult entertainment corporation, wanted to open a strip club in the city of Kingston. Kingston, however, passed an ordinance prohibiting adult businesses from operating within 300 feet of any church, school, nursery, public park, or residential property. Le Cabaret 481 filed a suit against the city, arguing that the ordinance left no feasible locations in the city for an adult business and thus violated the company's First Amendment right to free expression. The city, on the other hand, argued that Le Cabaret 481 did not present a ripe case to the court because the company had not applied for a building permit for its adult business. The company argued that it could not find a location for which it could apply for a permit. Do you think Le Cabaret 481 satisfied the ripeness requirement for its suit against the city? Why or why not? [

Review the following scenario:
You are a Wichita Police Department detective working in the major crimes unit, and you are assigned to a joint federal–state–city crime task force working on a number of major drug cases. Over a period of several months, your task force has been able to gather information and make cases on several of the drug suppliers, drug dealers, and drug buyers in the Wichita metropolitan area. The task force is about to complete its mission by filing criminal charges in the federal district court, the state district court, or the Wichita Municipal Court against these various suspects. These suspects will not be arrested until the warrants are issued.
Your job is to make recommendations concerning which jurisdictions should file the charges on which defendants. You will need to evaluate the criminal statutes and penalties in each jurisdiction and even the rules of evidence to determine where your task force has the best chance of obtaining a conviction and in getting the punishment to fit the crime.
The memo that you receive from your Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force supervisor explains the situation:
MEMO
Re: Charging Decisions
You are the primary investigator in the cases against Jones, Smith, and Thompson. As I review your reports, it appears that each of these cases has strengths and weaknesses that we should evaluate before we determine whether to file charges in the U.S. District Court, the Sedgwick County District Court for the State of Kansas, or the Wichita Municipal Court. I will summarize those strengths and weaknesses here to make sure I am reading your reports correctly. I need you to give me advice on where you think these charges should be brought.
Jones has been working for you as a confidential informant because you have evidence against him for a February 6, 2005 third possession of cocaine after convictions in 1993 and 1994. He appears to have followed the terms of his deal with you to introduce our undercover agents to his dealer. We have promised not to prosecute for any drug offenses he may commit in the presence of our undercover agent while playing the role of our informant. His assistance has enabled us to get sufficient evidence on Smith and Thompson to obtain convictions. Based on Jones’ two prior convictions for possession of cocaine, we would normally want him to go to federal court, where the maximum sentences are available. However, because of his cooperation, we could file the case in the Sedgwick County, Kansas, and district court under state law. We could even change the charge to a drug paraphernalia offense and send his case to the city of Wichita.
How do you think we should proceed concerning Jones' February 6, 2005 cocaine possession? (30%)
He will probably plead guilty unless we send him to federal court. Where do you want to file it? (20%)
Smith has sold cocaine to our undercover agents on two occasions: Ju.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey would be
appreciated for products derived from these data.
Cartographic content is derived from USGS national
geospatial databases. The data is owned and hosted by the
USGS, but does not preclude using data sources owned and
hosted by other organizations, provided that these sources have
been approved by the USGS data program.
This product is a layered GeoPDF file. GeoPDF is a
copyright format with implementation rights held exclusively by
TerraGo Technologies. This design is based on use of specific
commercial software systems therefore any changes to the
software specifications and dependencies will be followed by
the USGS and codified in the product standard.
Each layer of the GeoPDF is extracted from the USGS
national geospatial databases. These data are intended to be
cartographically complete at a 1:24,000 scale.
This US Topo map product is compiled to meet National
Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS). NMAS horizontal accuracy
requires that at least 90 percent of well-defined points tested are
within 0.02 inch of the true position. In this product, the
projection line, grids, and orthoimage are believed to meet
NMAS. Positional accuracy of the other data layers is less
controllable because of diversity of data sources, and may not
meet NMAS.
The accuracy of the National Elevation Dataset (NED) is
74. inherited from the source digital elevation models (DEMs). The
overall absolute vertical accuracy expressed as the root mean
square error (RMSE) is 2.44 meters. The measured vertical
RMSE was converted to equivalent NMAS and NSSDA
expressions. The accuracy is expressed in terms of the National
Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS), which use a 90 percent
confidence interval, and in terms of the National Standard for
Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA), which uses a 95 percent
confidence interval.

The FSTopo database was originally populated with
Cartographic Feature File (CFF) data. CFF data were derived
from the standard Forest Service Primary Base Series (PBS) or
Single Edition Series (SES) map as part of the Forest Service
National Geographic Information System Plan. PBS and SES
maps were developed from the U.S. Geological Survey
1:24,000-scale, 7.5-minute topographic map series, with
enhancements and regular revisions to satisfy Forest Service
needs. Except in Alaska, where 1:63,360-scale maps are used,
the original USGS 1:24,000-scale source maps were constructed
to meet National Map Accuracy Standards, which require that
90 percent of all well-defined features shown on the map are
within .02 inches of their true location. CFF data were collected
using methods and the best technologies available to ensure that
digitized elements were captured within .003 inches of
corresponding elements shown on source maps. The USDA
Geospatial Service and Technology Center (GSTC) uses the
same data collection accuracy standard for additions and
revisions to the data. Only maps in USDA Forest Service areas
will contain USDA Forest roads.

Transportation, Railroads
vector digital data
Railroads are based on unpublished data provided to
USGS by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). These
data were collected by FRA as part of the Automated Track
Inspection Program (ATIP). Though not originally intended for
mapping purposes, the data are judged by USGS to have high
positional accuracy and to be suitable for 1:24,000-scale
mapping. The original data were GPS points, which were
thinned, filtered, and consolidated by USGS to create the data
shown in US Topo. These data are not complete, and the levels
of actual completeness within a map cell or for the dataset as a
whole are not precisely known. ATIP is an ongoing program,
FRA has committed to continue working with USGS, and the
data will become more complete with each US Topo production
78. cycle. The USGS has elected to use this mechanism and source
of railroad data because no sufficiently current, accurate, and
non-proprietary railroad dataset with national coverage can be
found. The names of rail lines will be added at some future
date.

vector digital data
The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-
based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the
stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface
water drainage system. The high-resolution NHD was originally
created using 1:24,000-scale data. State and Local Stewards are
improving the data by incorporating local updates based on
more current and more accurate source data. Water features in
the real world are relatively dynamic and the differences at the
time of data collection mean that water features may not
register exactly to other layers. The hydrographic feature names
contained in and displayed by the NHD are extracted and
validated from the Geographic Names Information System
(GNIS). Spatial objects may be filtered or generalized to
achieve a 1:24,000-scale representation.

U.S.-Mexico National Boundary
The international boundary between Mexico and the
United States, defined as a joint venture between the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Instituto Nacional
de Estadística y Geografía of Mexico (INEGI), resulted in an
unofficial United States-Mexico boundary dataset that was
further enhanced by the U.S. Geological Survey's Border
Environmental Health Initiative (BEHI). With the data frame
scale set to 1:5,000 in ArcMap, the center of the Rio
Grande/Río Bravo was digitized using the NAIP 2004 Imagery.
85. In areas with dense stands of salt cedar (bounding box = UL -
104.714 30.038, UR -104.664 30.037, LR -104.666 29.933, LL -
104.717 29.934; NAD83), the center of the channel was
difficult, and sometimes impossible, to easily determine. To
determine the location of the boundary, the GIS analyst
compared the location of the line in the INEGI 1:250K Limite
feature class with the NAIP 2004 Imagery and adjusted the
boundary to the image, thus, the delineation of the international
boundary is less certain in these areas. The remaining part of
the border was extracted from the INEGI 1:250K Limite feature
class and appended to the line feature class created along the
Rio Grande/Río Bravo. The U.S. Geological Survey reviewed
the original USDA data against 2007 NAIP imagery and further
edited 9 line segments in the Rio Grande areas to conform to
National Map Accuracy Standards.
