Description
The Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) has performed a coastal survey along the Atlantic coast of SC in 2010. The data types collected include bathymetry and topographic lidar point data, true color imagery and hyperspectral imagery. The collection effort follows the coastline and extends 500m inland and 1000m offshore or to laser extinction, whichever comes first. Topographic lidar is collected with 200% coverage, yielding a nominal 1m x 1m post-spacing. Where water conditions permit, the bathymetry lidar data will have a nominal post spacing of 4m x 4m. The true color imagery will have a pixel size approximately 35cm and the hyperspectral imagery will be provided in 1m pixels containing 36 bands between 375 - 1050 nm with 19 nm bandwidth. The final data will be tied to horizontal positions, provided in decimal degrees of latitude and longitude, and are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Vertical positions are referenced to the NAD83 ellipsoid and provided in meters. The National Geodetic Survey's (NGS) GEOID03 model is used to transform the vertical positions from ellipsoid to orthometric heights referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88).

Summary
Description
This data layer (PAC_CMP.txt) is one of five point coverages of known sediment samples, inspections, and probes from the usSEABED data collection for the U.S. Pacific continental margin integrated using the software system dbSEABED. This data file gives numeric data about selected components (for example, minerals, rock type, microfossils, and benthic biota) and sea floor features (for example, bioturbation, structure, and ripples) at a given site. Values in the attribute fields represent the membership to that attribute's fuzzy set. For components such as minerals, rocks, micro-biota and plants, and (or) epifauna and infauna, corals and other geologic and biologic information, the value depends on sentence structure and other components in description. For features (denoted by an '_F') such as ripples, ophiuroids, sponges, shrimp, worm tubes, lamination, lumps, grading, and (or) bioturbation, the value of the fuzzy set depends on the development of the attribute. Only the relative fuzzy presence of components and features can be determined; the absence of information does not indicate a lack of the attribute, only lack of information about that attribute. Table 5 (http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/2006/182/table5.html) in the Larger_Work_Citation gives more information about the words or phrases that trigger each component and feature.

This digital dataset defines the farm-process parameters used in the transient hydrologic model of the Central Valley flow system. The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGS numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP. This simluation is referred to here as the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM) (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the Central Valley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003. The Farm Process parameters for Crops, Root Depth, Runoff, Pressure, Crop Coefficients (Kc), Transpiratory fraction of consumptive use (FTR), Evaporative fraction of consumptive use related to precipitation (FEP), and Evaporative fraction of consumptive use related to irrigation (FEI) are all tabulated. More detailed descriptions of these parameters can be found in Schmid and others (2006b) and Faunt and others (2009). The CVHM is the most recent regional-scale model of the Central Valley developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The CVHM was developed as part of the USGS Groundwater Resources Program (see "Foreword", Chapter A, page iii, for details).

SUMMARY DDOD use case to verify the accuracy of data obtained from the HealthCare Finder API after a user identified potential data quality issues. WHAT IS A USE CASE? A “Use Case” is a request that was made by the user community because there were no available datasets that met their particular needs. If this use case is similar to your needs, we ask that you add your own requirements to the specifications section. The concept of a use case falls within the Demand-Driven Open Data (DDOD) program and gives you a formalized way to identify what data you need. It’s for anyone in industry, research, media, nonprofits or other government agencies. Each request becomes a DDOD use case, so that it can be prioritized and worked on. Use Cases also provide a wealth of insights about existing alternative datasets and tips for interpreting and manipulating data for specific purposes. PURPOSE Clarity is needed around how completeness of the data via the HealthFinder API. Is it intended to be a complete data set? e.g., does it have every on- and off-exchange plan available in the country? If it is not intended to be a complete data set, what fields (eg, plans, issuers, scenarios) are systematically missing in the data? Why are there specific cases of known plans that are missing in the data (eg, no Carefirst/BCBS plans in Virgina)? VALUE In order for the HealthCare Finder API to be useful, it must be a trusted source and accurate; if there are data gaps, those must be clearly documented. The API is critical in assisting the users to find the best healthcare plans. USE CASE SPECIFICATIONS & SOLUTION Information about this use cases is maintained in a wiki: http://hhs.ddod.us/wiki/Use_Case_28:_Verify_accuracy_of_healthcare.gov_P... It serves as a knowledge base. USE CASE DISCUSSION FORUM All communications between Data Users, DDOD Administrators and Data Owners are logged as discussions within GitHub issues: https://github.com/demand-driven-open-data/ddod-intake/issues/28 It aims to provide complete transparency into the process and ensure the same message gets to all participants. CASE STATUS Closed. PlanFinder is intended for off-exchange (off FFM) plans only. PlanFinder is not meant to be a comprehensive list of every plan available; it is only intended to display the potential options for consumers looking to purchase insurance off the exchange. While there is some overlap where many on-exchange plans appear in the dataset, this does not guarantee a comprehensive list of every plan. The PlanFinder API and website return the same data. On-exchange plans are also available on data.healthcare.gov under the term "QHP" (Qualified Health Plan).

An environmentally controlled radon exposure chamber is also available to provide standard calibration of radon survey kits and detectors. PuBe neutron sources are available for neutron irradiations. Our radiation effects on electronics and materials research encompasses transient and long term radiation damage effects on materials used in DoD applications. Our recent work is oriented on survivability of high speed and high energy components in the natural space and nuclear weapons enhanced environments, and includes measurements of ionizing interactions, electrostatic discharge, and EMP. Basic electronic characterization includes CV(T), IV(T) in-situ measurements, and in-situ measurement of transient radiation in electron, gamma and neutron irradiations. Post irradiation analysis can be performed on electronics and materials using micro-Ramman spectroscopy, cathode- and photo-luminescence, atomic force microscopy, Hall-effect, and ESR. Environmental measurement tools for laboratory and field characterization of pollutants are being enhanced. These include a Packard scintillation spectrometer and two high-resolution gamma spectrometers with state-of-the-art Canberra multi-channel analyzers. The nuclear analytical research focus is focused on to making field measurements of nuclear fuels involving the development of highly sensitive alpha and neutron detectors as well as gamma-ray imaging systems to support future arms control efforts. Elemental analytical capabilities include a new laboratory BAIRD EX-6000 x-ray fluorescence spectrometer which will compliment the field-portable x-ray fluorescence spectrometer.

Loveraging on Agiltron's experience in optical fiber components, Agiltron proposed a coherent single-mode fiber (SMF) spatial filter array (SFA) with a gradient index fiber (GIF) lens array pair to meet NASA's application of planet exploration. There are several advantages over the current approach in: small aberration, low insertion loss, high uniformity, low cost, easy assembly and high stability. In Phase I, Agiltron will build a GIF-based SFA prototype to prove the feasibility of the proposed low cost program for NASA applications. At the same time, a theoretical study will be made to build a simulation model for the proposed SFA. This simulation and actual physical testing will provide the necessary baseline for us to build and demonstrate a prototype including the mechanical enclosures in Phase II. We expect to provide fully functional and environmentally tested production units for NASA in Phase II.

Description
State Legislative Districts (SLDs) are the areas from which members are elected to State legislatures. The SLDs embody the upper (senate) and lower (house) chambers of the state legislature. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature and the District of Columbia has a single council, both of which the Census Bureau treats as upper-chamber legislative areas for the purpose of data presentation; there are no data by SLDL for either Nebraska or the District of Columbia. A unique three-character census code, identified by State participants, is assigned to each SLD within a state. In Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, and Puerto Rico, the Redistricting Data Program (RDP) participant did not define the SLDs to cover all of the state or state equivalent area. In these areas with no SLDs defined, the code "ZZZ" has been assigned, which is treated as a single SLD for purposes of data presentation. The boundaries of the 2014 State legislative districts were provided by state-level participants through the RDP and reflect the districts used to elect members in or prior to the November 2014 election.

EIC Laboratories Inc. is proposing a lightweight multifunctional polymer/nanoparticle composite for radiation shielding during long-duration lunar missions. Isolated nanoparticles homogeneously dispersed throughout the polymer reinforce polymer matrices relative to conventional powder dispersion. This will enable the exploitation of the high hydrogen density of the polyolefin while improving the mechanical and structural properties of polymer composites used in radiation shielding. The goal of this program is to demonstrate that hydrogen dense polyolefins loaded with neutron shielding nanoparticles demonstrate improved shielding and mechanical properties relative to commercially available alternatives. In Phase I, polyolefin/nanoparticle-shielding composites will be fabricated and characterized for thermal, mechanical, and particle dispersion properties relative to commercial products.

A RESON SeaBat⢠7125 multibeam echosounder in conjunction with an Applanix Position Orientation Solution for Marine Vessels (POS MVâ¢) WaveMaster system motion sensor, HYPACK®/HYSWEEP® navigation software, and Ashtech Z-Xtreme GPS receivers or Trimble R8 receivers was used to survey the Missouri River bed at 15 pipeline crossings at four different locations, at three power plant locations, and at one transmission tower during the 2011 flood event. The format of this data is a grid with each cell covering 0.5 meter by 0.5 meter. The elevation value (North American Vertical Datum, NAVD88) represented by each cell is the most probable elevation for that cell based on calculated Total Propagated Uncertainty (TPU) as calculated in Caris HIPS and SIPS software. Calculated TPS values are then used by Caris to create a Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetric Estimator (CUBE) surface. The surface grid was used to export the cell centroid position (Northing, Easting in UTM zone 14 North, in meters) along with the cell elevation (referenced to NAVD88, in meters) to create the text file. The data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD).
