Description

The Case Mix Index (CMI) is the average relative DRG weight of a hospital’s inpatient discharges, calculated by summing the Medicare Severity-Diagnosis Related Group (MS-DRG) weight for each discharge and dividing the total by the number of discharges. The CMI reflects the diversity, clinical complexity, and resource needs of all the patients in the hospital. A higher CMI indicates a more complex and resource-intensive case load. Although the MS-DRG weights, provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), were designed for the Medicare population, they are applied here to all discharges regardless of payer. Note: It is not meaningful to add the CMI values together.

Description

This map layer portrays the boundaries of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The map layer was created by extracting county polygon features from the 2006 Census TIGER/Line files produced by the U.S. Census Bureau. These files were then merged into a single file and the county and State boundaries were dissolved, leaving the national boundary. This is a revised version of the July 2012 map layer.

Description

This Flood Insurance Study was produced through a cooperative partnership between the State of North Carolina and FEMA. The North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program, through FEMA's Cooperating Technical State (CTS) Initiative, is conducting flood hazard analyses and producing updated, digital FIRM panels for all North Carolina communities. Additional information regarding the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program and the data collected during the mapping process are available at http://www.ncfloodmaps.com. The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to the earth's surface using the NC State Plane Coordinate System, North American Datum 1983, Units of Feet. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.

Description

Highly-integrated, reconfigurable radar antenna arrays fabricated on flexible substrates offer high functionality in a portable package that can be rolled up and transported on the ground, or deployed into space. High levels of integration allow for: reconfigurability of operating frequency and / or gain pattern; integration of control, information processing, and communications functions directly onto the antenna substrate; integration of MEMS sensors into the antenna substrate to monitor the system health during deployment and in service; and opto-electronic beam forming networks, providing immunity to electromagnetic interference. While the advantages of highly-integrated flexible antennas are significant, their fabrication is highly challenging due to the lack of manufacturing technologies that can meet all of the processing requirements on flexible substrates. In this program we will develop and demonstrate a lithography-based process technology that enables a variety of critical processes that cannot be carried out using existing patterning technologies, in particular: the fabrication of the radar elements and feed structures on very-large-area substrates; the reduction of manufacturing costs by using photoablation processes; high levels of integration by means of laser-crystallization, allowing for the integration of high-performance ICs; and a combination of processes to produce MEMS for on-board sensors and for reconfiguring the array.

Description

This data set consists of depth to ground water contours for hydrographic-area (HA) 153, Diamond Valley, Nevada. These data represent static ground-water levels measured in the HA during March and April of 2001. These data were created as part of an effort to provide statewide information on water table and depth to ground water for Nevada. Digital water-table contours from 38 published reports representing data from 1947 to 2004 were combined to create a single statewide data set. Water-table contours for Diamond Valley were published in 1968 (Harrill, 1968), the depth to water has increased by tens of feet in this basin, however, so more recent data were needed to estimate current contours. This data set and the associated water-table data were used to develop raster based models of water table and depth to ground water. Reference Cited Harrill, J.R., 1968, Hydrologic response to irrigation pumping in Diamond Valley, Eureka and Elko Counties, Nevada, 1950-65, with a section on surface water by R.D.

Description

This project is a cooperative effort among the National Ocean Service, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment; the University of Hawaii; and Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii, LLC. IKONOS imagery was purchased to support the Pacific Islands Geographic Information System (GIS) project and the National Ocean Service's (NOS) coral mapping activities. One-meter panchromatic and four-meter multi-spectral data were purchased for each study area. The enhanced spectral resolution of multispectral imagery and control of bandwidths of multispectral data yield an advantage over color aerial photography particularly when coral health and time series analysis of coral reef community structure are of interest. The IKONOS imagery was processed to minimize atmospheric and water column effects. Photointerpreters can accurately and reliably delineate boundaries of features in the imagery as they appear on the computer monitor using a software interface such as the Habitat Digitizer.

Description

The USGS Central Region Energy Team assesses oil and gas resources of the United States. The onshore and State water areas of the United States comprise 71 provinces. Within these provinces, Total Petroleum Systems are defined and Assessment Units are defined and assessed. Each of these provinces is defined geologically, and most province boundaries are defined by major geologic changes. The Wyoming Thrust Belt Province is located in southeastern Idaho, north central Utah, and southwestern Wyoming, encompassing all or parts of Bannock, Bear Lake, Bingham, Bonneville, Caribou, Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, and Teton Counties in Idaho and all or parts of Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Morgan, Rich, Salt Lake, Summit, and Weber Counties in Utah and all or parts of Lincoln, Sublette, Teton, and Uinta Counties in Wyoming. The main population centers within the study area are Soda Springs and Montpelier, Idaho; and Morgan and Coalville, Utah; and Evanston and Kemmerer Wyoming. The main highways, I-80 and U.S. 30, generally traverse the area from east to west with U.S. Route 89 running north to south. The Snake River and its tributaries drain the area. The province boundary was drawn to include the geologic structures generally considered to be in or bounding the Wyoming Thrust Belt Province.

Description

Bathymetry for Atchafalaya Bay was derived from eleven surveys containing127,192 soundings. No surveys were omitted. The average separationbetween soundings was 130 meters. The surveys dated from 1934 and 1935. Therange of soundings for the eleven surveys was 0.9 meters to -39.0 metersat mean low water. Mean high water values between 0.4 and 0.6 meters wereassigned to the shoreline. Twelve points from three surveys were foundthat were not consistent with the surrounding data. These points wereremoved prior to tinning. DEM grid values outside the shoreline (onland) were assigned null values (-32676).Atchafalaya Bay has twenty-six 7.5 minute DEMs and a single onedegree DEM. The 1 degree DEMs were generated from the higherresolution 7.5 minute DEMs which covered the estuary. A DigitalElevation Model (DEM) contains a series of elevations ordered fromsouth to north with the order of the columns from west to east. TheDEM is formatted as one ASCII header record (A- record), followed bya series of profile records (B- records) each of which include ashort B-record header followed by a series of ASCII integerelevations (typically in units of 1 centimeter) per each profile.The last physical record of the DEM is an accuracy record(C-record).The 7.5-minute DEM (30- by 30-m data spacing) is cast on theUniversal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection. It provides coveragein 7.5- by 7.5-minute blocks. Each product provides the samecoverage as a standard USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle but the DEMcontains over edge data. Coverage is available for many estuaries ofthe contiguous United States but is not complete.

Description

We propose to investigate the feasibility and value of the "Software as a Service" paradigm in facilitating access to Earth Science numerical models. We envision providing prototype Web-based access to NASA scientific models (GEOS-5, WRF) and their results, via industry-standard service interfaces (OGC's Web Coverage Service, Web Map Service, OPeNDAP) implemented by open-source software tools such as MapServer and THREDDS. These services would allow declarative access to pre-computed model outputs, on-demand (asynchronous or synchronous) model runs, and user-customizable model workflows. These services would use the MAP Mobile Environment Workflow tool and associated templates to encapsulate details of the model software and the computing environment in which it runs. Providing these modeling capabilities as a service, through well-defined, widely-supported Web interfaces, would facilitate loosely-coupled collaborative work among different computing facilities and different disciplines; and it would broaden access to modeling beyond those already "in the know" or qualified to login to a NASA computing resource. We will conduct the study in stages, beginning with Web access to pre-stored model results, followed by on-demand model runs and culminating in service-based workflow customization.

Description

This project facilitated a partnership between USFWS efforts to document the botanical resources of Chisik Island and establish an analytical chemistry baseline in local lichenmoss communities for future reference and BEST Program efforts to identify potential methods for monitoring the presence and effects of airborne contaminants. In addition, a comprehensive soil and vegetation inventory of Chisik Island was performed in cooperation with the USDAs Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Geological Survey and USFWS. Semipermeable membrane device data demonstrate their utility to sequester airborne anthropogenic contaminants. Further, the SPMDs were successfully used to define the absence of detectable airborne contaminants on Chisik Island and the presence of typical anthropogenic contaminants in the air at the Anchorage site. Thus, the SPMD technique can be employed in ambient air monitoring activities. Further research is required to develop algorithms necessary to estimate actual air concentrations. This research would involve controlling laboratory studies to define the kinetics of uptake of contaminants by SPMDs; additional field deployment of the SPMDs. The lichenmoss analytical data and soil chemistry profiles provide a valuable baseline for future comparisons. When sufficient data is available, this baseline data can be compared with more current data to determine whether correlations exist between data patterns and nonpollution physical and biological factors. Such correlations may provide a basis for determining to what extent these factors i.e. elemental content and soil chemistry influence lichen species diversity, distribution and abundance. Regression analyses might be used for studying trends over time and space. If the appropriate experimental design is used and the statistical assumptions are met, various parametric or nonparametric univariate approaches may be useful as well. The ultimate challenge for the BEST Program in establishing an air quality monitoring component is developing the capability to economically collect and interpret site characterization data and distinguish data patterns that can be attributed to airborne contaminants.

The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The purpose of this file is to provide the geography for the 2010 Census Blocks along with their 2010 housing unit count and population. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.
