This document provides guidance on developing successful research proposals. It outlines critical components of proposals such as clearly articulating a doable project, stating clear research questions and hypotheses, making a strong argument for why the work is important and builds on previous research, and demonstrating a plan for implementation. It also notes the importance of establishing a track record through preliminary data, publications, and pilot projects. The document reviews common criteria used to evaluate proposals, such as intellectual merit and broader impacts. It recommends writing proposals as persuasive essays that clearly explain what work will be done, why it is important, how it will be conducted, and why the applicant is well-qualified. Developing a draft proposal and getting peer feedback is suggested as part of the process

Capstone project design components 1.25.14
This document provides guidance on developing the components of a project design for an MPA integrative capstone project at Presidio Graduate School. It identifies the key components as purposes, conceptual framework, actionable questions, and approach. Each component is then defined, with purposes addressing what issues are cared about and who would benefit, conceptual framework providing the theories and literature informing the project, actionable questions specifying what the project will address, and approach outlining what will be done to address the questions and create an end product. Relationships between the components are also noted.
Subvista Focus Groups
Focus groups are popular methods for gaining new ideas and feedback about products, services, concepts and social issues. Their synergistic atmospheres are explicitly used to generate new insights. They have wide ranging applications and are highly economical research tools because they explore different ideas in one session. Through deeper self deliberation, participants often realise some very subliminal ideas.

StatVignette03_Sig.Figs_v04_07_15_2020.pptx
This document discusses the concept of significant figures and how to determine the number of significant figures in measurements and calculations. It defines significant figures as the "important digits" that indicate the precision of a measurement. Rules are provided for determining significant figures depending on leading or trailing zeros and whether the number is read from left to right or right to left. Examples demonstrate applying these rules and how to round final answers in calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division based on the least precise measurement used. The key takeaway is that significant figures convey precision and final answers should not be more precise than the least precise input.
StatVignette06_HypTesting.pptx
This document discusses hypothesis testing. It explains that hypothesis testing is used to determine if data is statistically significant enough to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. The key aspects covered are:
- Identifying when hypothesis testing is appropriate
- Distinguishing between the null and alternate hypotheses
- Determining whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis based on comparing a test statistic to a critical value from a distribution table

Unit 1 (optional slides)
This document discusses how scientists measure the hydrologic cycle. It describes traditional methods like stream gaging stations, groundwater wells, and SNOTEL stations to monitor streams, groundwater levels, and snowpack. It also discusses newer geodetic methods like GPS and GRACE satellites that can measure subtle changes in gravity or ground movement related to water storage and flow. These comprehensive measurements across different reservoirs help scientists better understand the complex global hydrologic cycle.
Cretaceous Coatlines and Modern Voting Patterns Presentation
The document discusses how the coastline of North America during the Cretaceous Period 80 million years ago, with a Western Interior Seaway dividing the continent, still influences patterns today. It notes that the fertile soil deposited along this ancient coastline attracted slave plantations, and after emancipation the populations remained high in African Americans. As a result, modern voting patterns follow the same curve as the long-gone Cretaceous coastline, with counties with larger African American populations voting predominantly Democrat.
Climate and Biomes PPT 2
This PowerPoint document provides instructions for an activity to analyze climate and biomes using data on cities from around the world. Students will sort city climate information cards into biome categories, plot locations on a map, and fill out a worksheet characterizing climate and biome for each city. The PowerPoint includes over 50 slides providing detailed climate and location data on cities to support categorizing into biomes.
weather tracking ppt
This document provides instructions for tracking weather systems using maps. Students are asked to print maps showing the location of low pressure centers over time. By examining the date and time stamps, students track one low pressure system as it moves across the United States over several days, recording its location on blank maps. They then connect the locations with a line to show the storm's path. Students also have the option to track additional storms, measure distances traveled between maps to calculate speed, or use software to analyze and animate the map images.
Presentation: Unit 1 Introduction to the hydrological cycle
This document provides an overview of traditional and geodetic methods for measuring water resources. It discusses the hydrological cycle and key reservoirs and fluxes. Traditional measurements like gauging stations and SNOTEL stations that measure snowpack are introduced. Geodetic methods using GPS and gravity satellites are presented as newer techniques to measure vertical land motion, snow depth, soil moisture, and groundwater levels. Declining trends in snowpack and streamflow in Montana watersheds are highlighted as impacts of climate change on water resources. Stakeholders in water resources like local residents, industry, and government are identified.
StatVignette05_M3_v02_10_21_2020.pptx
This document defines and compares the three main measures of central tendency: mean, median, and mode. It explains that the mean is calculated by adding all values and dividing by the total number of values, the median is the middle value when the values are arranged in order, and the mode is the most frequently occurring value. The document also notes that outliers can affect the mean more than the median or mode. An example calculation is provided to demonstrate how an outlier impacts each measure. The key takeaway is that the mean, median and mode are important for summarizing large datasets with a single representative value.
KSKL chapter 8 PPT
Soils are essential to supporting life and human civilization. As populations grow, pressures on soils increase and maintaining soil health is important. Throughout history, human activities like deforestation, overgrazing, and poor irrigation have led to soil degradation problems like erosion, desertification, and salinization. This has negatively impacted societies by reducing agricultural productivity and sometimes causing civilizations to fail. However, more recent initiatives show people rediscovering the importance of soils and taking steps to promote sustainable land use and soil conservation.
KSKL chap 5 PPT
The document discusses soil classification systems and soil surveys. It explains that soil taxonomy is a hierarchical system used to classify soils based on observable properties like color, structure, and chemistry. Soils are grouped into increasingly broader categories from the most specific level of series up to the broadest level of order. Soil surveys involve soil scientists mapping and describing soils in a given area in order to group soils with similar properties. The classifications aim to convey information about soil formation and management needs.
KSKL_Chapter 4_ Chem Properties of Soils.pptx
The document discusses nutrient management and soil fertility. It outlines key nutrients needed by plants and their analogous benefits for human health, including nitrogen for growth, potassium for water uptake and disease resistance, and calcium for growth and strong bones. It also addresses how soil pH impacts nutrient availability and describes common nutrient deficiencies like zinc deficiency that causes stunted growth and yellowing.
Degraded Soil Images.pptx
This document discusses several issues that can negatively impact soil quality including disturbed and degraded soil, desertification, deforestation, salinization, run-off, mineral extraction, and wind erosion. These processes can damage soil structure and reduce fertility.
Educators PPT file chapter 7
The document discusses the major biomes of the world and the soils typically found within each one. It describes the key biomes as tropical rainforests, temperate forests, boreal forests, grasslands, tundra, deserts, shrublands, and wetlands. Each biome is defined by its climate, vegetation, and characteristic soil orders that form as a result of the particular environmental conditions within that biome.
Educators PPT file chapter 2
This document discusses the physical properties and formation of soil. It describes how soil characteristics like color, texture, structure, and horizons/profiles influence water movement, storage, erosion, and plant growth. Soil formation is influenced by climate, organisms, topography, parent material, and time in a process known as CLORPT. The physical properties of soil determine how quickly water can infiltrate and percolate through different soil types.
Educators PPT file chapter 6
This document discusses various natural and human-caused processes that can degrade soils, as well as best management practices to mitigate soil degradation. It covers topics like erosion from water and wind, desertification, acidification, salinization, effects of deforestation, urbanization, construction projects, land application of manures and wastes, and mining reclamation. Sustainable land management and soil conservation techniques aim to renew resources rather than deplete them over time through practices like maintaining vegetative cover, controlling grazing intensity, and properly applying nutrients from wastes.

This chapter discusses the living components of soil, including bacteria, fungi, protists, and fauna. Bacteria and fungi play important roles in nutrient cycling and forming soil structure. Fungi exist as filaments called hyphae that can form partnerships with plant roots. Protists include amoebas, ciliates, and flagellates that consume bacteria and debris. Larger soil fauna include earthworms, nematodes, springtails, and arthropods that further break down organic matter and improve soil structure through bioturbation. The variety of organisms in soil work together to create a living system that supports plant growth.
Unit 4 background presentation
This document discusses the 2012-2017 California drought and its impacts. It provides historical context on droughts in California and examines precipitation data. Specific topics covered include:
1. The spatial extent and timing of the 2012-2017 drought across California and how it compares to historical droughts.
2. How precipitation was measured using tools like snow pillows and GPS reflection to track snow levels.
3. The societal impacts of the drought, including mandatory water rationing and transformations to California's landscape and economy.
Presentation: Unit 3 background information
This document discusses using GPS vertical positioning to monitor groundwater storage changes. It begins by explaining that groundwater mining is a global problem, and that extracting groundwater causes the land surface to rise as the total water storage decreases. It then discusses how GPS networks can detect these vertical position changes at the sub-centimeter level on a daily basis, allowing monitoring of seasonal water changes. Finally, it notes that long-term groundwater pumping can lead to both reversible and irreversible subsidence exceeding several meters, and provides examples from California's Central Valley.
Presentation: Unit 2 Measuring Groundwater Background Information
This document discusses methods for characterizing groundwater storage, including traditional well measurements and satellite-based GRACE observations. It defines terrestrial water storage as all water on the land surface, and explains that groundwater often dominates variations in storage. Wells measure groundwater levels, with changes indicating replenishment or depletion over time. GRACE satellites detect changes in mass distribution and associated gravity field variations to infer changes in total water storage, including groundwater, at coarse spatial scales. The document provides examples of using both approaches to monitor groundwater in key aquifers.
Introduction to GPS presentation
The document provides an introduction to GPS/GNSS basics, including:
- GPS uses 24-32 satellites in medium Earth orbit that transmit positioning and timing data. Receivers need signals from 4 satellites to calculate a 3D location.
- Ground control stations monitor the satellites and send updates to synchronize their atomic clocks and orbital data.
- GPS determines location by calculating distances to satellites using signal transmission times and triangulating the receiver's position.
- Precise GPS uses permanent stations with stable monuments to collect data over many years, achieving sub-centimeter positioning and millimeter-per-year velocity estimates.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Containers & AI - Beauty and the Beast!?!
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
