The idea of designing a new map projection via combination of two projections is well established. Some of the most
popular world map projections in use today were devised in this manner. One construction method is to combine two source
projections along a common parallel; a second method calculates the...
The Natural Earth projection is a new projection for representing the entire Earth on small-scale maps. It was designed in Flex Projector a specialized software application that offers a graphical approach for the creation of new projections. The original Natural Earth projection defines the length and spacing of parallels in...
There are two problems with current cylindrical projections for world maps. First, existing cylindrical map projections have a static height-to-width aspect ratio and do not automatically adjust their aspect ratio in order to optimally use available canvas space. Second, many of the commonly used cylindrical compromise projections show areas and...
The fission Time Projection Chamber (fissionTPC) is a compact (15 cm diameter) two-chamber
MICROMEGAS TPC designed to make precision cross-section measurements of neutron-induced fission.
The actinide targets are placed on the central cathode and irradiated with a neutron beam that passes
axially through the TPC inducing fission in the target....
This paper studies cluster ensembles for high dimensional data clustering. We examine three different approaches to constructing cluster ensembles. To address high dimensionality, we focus on ensemble construction methods that build on two popular dimension reduction techniques, random projection and principal component analysis (PCA). We present evidence showing that ensembles...
The OSU Government Relations Office provides periodic updates that describe events in Washington, DC and Salem. These updates include insights on how budget and policy decisions at the state and federal level will affect OSU and are issued once or twice a month, depending on the level of activities in...
Current projections of the oceanic response to anthropogenic climate forcings are uncertain. Two key sources of these uncertainties are (1) structural errors in current Earth system models and (2) imperfect knowledge of model parameters. Ocean tracer observations have the potential to reduce these uncertainties. Previous studies typically consider each tracer...

Natural resource policymakers and planners increasingly rely on regional and national-level spatial data describing projections of future housing growth, to anticipate development impacts on natural resources and identify policy and planning needs. Such projections have not always been well-grounded in demographic and other factors that influence population and thus housing...
