Between February and August 2012, a team of NOAA and external partners will conduct a mapping âÂÂblitzâ focused on deepwater canyons off the northeastern seaboard. In preparation for this series of Atlantic Canyons Undersea Mapping Expeditions (ACUMEN), a team of NOAA and non-NOAA partners identified priority frontier areas along the continental shelf and slope. In total, five expeditions will gather baseline information to support science and management needs. The expeditions will highlight the complementary capabilities of three NOAA ships: Okeanos Explorer, Ferdinand R. Hassler, Henry B. Bigelow and the Nancy Foster for a NOAA-BOEM project. NOAA Partners include: the Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER), Office of Coast Survey (OCS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northeast Fisheries Science Center and Office of Habitat Conservation, and the NESDIS/NODC National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC). External partners include: Virginia Sea Grant; Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean: New York Department of State and Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program; Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; and Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region. Key partners in the NOAA-BOEM project include USGS, Continental Shelf Associates, University of North Carolina-Wilmington, and the Marine Conservation Institute.

Due to the extensive amounts of data generated from the genome sequencing projects, the focus of genomics has shifted from elucidating DNA sequence to the interpretation of gene function. In addition, as proteins are most often the targets of drugs, a method of studying the genome at the protein level is fueling the pharmaceutical industry?s interest in proteomics. By interpreting the interacting partners of a protein of interest and stimuli that affect these conditions, much can be learned about the protein?s function. To help fuel the proteomics revolution, Agave BioSystems, in collaboration with Dr. Robert Boyd, of the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, proposes to develop an ultra sensitive analytical tool based on whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonator technology for the detection of protein-protein interactions. Simulations have demonstrated that WGM resonator technology can provide several orders of magnitude greater sensitivity as compared to current detection mechanisms such as SPR. The microfabrication of this detection mechanism, coupled with microfluidic systems to be developed in the Phase II, will result in a disposable biochip that can be readily used in a small, compact and portable instrument.

These estimates are derived from a composite of high resolution wind resource datasets modeled for specific countries with low resolution data originating from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (United States) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (United States) as processed for use in the IMAGE model. The high resolution datasets were produced by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (United States), Risø DTU National Laboratory (Denmark), the National Institute for Space Research (Brazil), and the Canadian Wind Energy Association. The data represents wind power class intervals 3 through 7 at 50 meters above ground *(onshore wind estimates only)*. Wind class is derived from the capacity factor obtained from the [20 Percent Wind Energy by 2030 table B-10](http://www.20percentwind.org/report/Appendix%20B_Assumptions_Used_for_Wind_Deployment_System_Model.pdf). The range was created from years 2005 and 2010.

Digitized Shoreline from Approximately 1950, 1980, and 2003 for the Coastal Areas of Bering Land Bridge NP (BELA) and Cape Krusenstern NM (CAKR), Northwest Alaska

Description
This file geodatabase contains the digitized shorelines for Cape Krusenstern from approximately 1950, 1980, and 2003 as feature classes. Each feature class contains detailed pertinent metadata. The following information pertains to the 1980 feature class. This shoreline reference feature is defined as the waterline and was digitized onscreen from orthorectified aerial photography from approximately 1980 for the coastal areas of Bering Land Bridge National Preserve (BELA), Cape Krusenstern National Monument (CAKR), and nearby portions of northwestern Alaska. The aerial photography frames are derived from 1:64,000-scale, color-infrared (CIR) photographs acquired by the USGS and NOAA from 1978 to 1985. These images and the companion shoreline were completed as part of a study on coastal erosion in collaboration between the University of Colorado (Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research) and the National Park Service (Arctic Network Inventory and Monitoring Program). The shoreline has a total length of approximately 480 km. Shoreline error was calculated using the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) calculation of the orthorectification and digitization errors. Errors for the approximately 1980s shorelines are 2.8 m for BELA and 2.2 m for CAKR. The shoreline is available in ArcGIS geodatabase format. It has a UTM zone 3 projection and NAD83 datum, with FGDC-compliant metadata. Attribute information in the feature class table includes, frame number, acquisition date, comments, and line length. The geodatabase is available through an unrestricted public license, and can be obtained online by request (see Distributor contact information below). Other data available in this series includes Bluff-Top coastlines and Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) files. Together, the data will be of interest to land managers, scientists, and others for observation and analysis of natural features and ecosystems.

Face value of insurance for each administered life insurance program listed by state. Data is current as of 7-31-11. All programs are closed to new issues except for Service-Disabled Veterans' Insurance and Veterans' Mortgage Life Insurance. United States Government Life Insurance was issued to WWI military personnel and Veterans. National Service Life Insurance was established to meet the needs of WWII military personnel and Veterans. Veterans' Special Life Insurance was issued to Korean War-era Veterans. Veterans' Reopened Insurance provides coverage to certain classes of disabled Veterans from WWII and the Korean conflict who had dropped their government life insurance coverage. Service-Disabled Veterans' Insurance was established in 1951 and is available to Veterans with service-connected disabilities. Veterans' Mortgage Life Insurance was established in 1971 to provide mortgage protection life insurance to severely disabled Veterans who have received grants for the purchase of specially-adapted housing.

Developed catalyst samples were tested for both applications and underwent vigorous physical characterization.</p><p>Top-performing samples were also compared to commercially available visible light responsive (VLR) catalysts.&nbsp;While photocatalysis is a well-developed technology for both air and water purification, most processes use bare titanium dioxide as the catalyst, which requires UV light for activation. By altering the wavelength of light needed for activation, solar radiation or highly-efficient LEDs can be better utilized while eliminating hazardous Hg-containing fluorescent lamps.</p>

Summary
Description
As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program, an investigation of the Yellowstone River Basin study unit is being conducted to document status and trends in surface- and ground-water quality. Surface-water samples are collected from streams or lakes at specific sampling stations. Efficient quantification of the site-specific geographic and environmental characteristics at sampling stations requires a geospatial data set composed of the site locations that may be processed, together with other digital thematic maps (such as geology or land use), in a geographic information system (GIS). Digital data for 24 stream-sampling stations in the Yellowstone River Basin are included in this data release. The station locations were retrieved from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Information System where they are stored as latitude-longitude coordinate pairs referenced to the NAD27 datum. Selected station identifiers and geographic codes also were retrieved and are included in the data release.
