An Amateur Vertical Component Broadband Seismometer (Model MkXX)
A vertical component broadband (BB) seismometer, based on design ideas from numerous sources, was developed and fabricated by an amateur instrument builder in a home workshop using commonly available materials. The seismometer had a flat velocity response between 0.017-4 Hz, and sensitive enough to detect teleseismic events of magnitude 5.5 and greater from most places on earth.
متن کاملSuccess with Geophysics: Archaeology
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has recently gained a wide acceptance in the archaeological community as a method to quickly and accurately locate buried archaeological features, artifacts, and important cultural and geological strata in the near-surface. The GPR method has now become one of the primary tools for geophysical feature identification primarily because of its three-dimensional abili...
متن کاملTeaching Computer Security with a Hands-On Component
To address national needs for computer security education, many universities have incorporated computer and security courses into their undergraduate and graduate curricula. Our department has introduced computer security courses at both the undergraduate and the graduate level. This paper describes our approach, our experiences, and lessons learned in teaching a Computer Security Overview cour...
متن کاملThree-axis Seismometer
Wide coverage and accurate detection of nuclear detonations are critical to prevent proliferation. Such applications require extremely high sensitivities on the order of approximately 0.5 ng/sqrt(Hz) on all three axes of acceleration, as well as robustness and cost effectiveness. Current sensors are too large or insensitive to be widely distributed in a sensor network. Agiltron, an innovator of...
متن کاملBoxScript: A Component-Oriented Language for Teaching
Component-oriented software development has become an important approach to building complex software systems. Computer Science students should learn the concepts and skills needed for component-oriented programming. This paper describes a component-oriented language BoxScript whose design seeks to address the needs of teachers and students for a clean, simple language. This paper presents the ...
