The Precise Leveling on Yake-dake Volcano (1977-1986)

Spatial and temporal patterns in civil violence: Guatemala, 1977-1986.

Civil violence is a complex and often horrific phenomenon whose characteristics have varied by era, setting, and circumstance. Its objective analysis has rarely been feasible at spatial and temporal scales great enough and resolutions fine enough to reveal patterns useful in prevention, intervention, or adjudication. An extraordinary data set simultaneously meeting scale and resolution criteria...

Troposphere Modeling and Filtering for Precise GPS Leveling

Dake-wa : Exhaustifying Assertions

Following the structure meaning approach (c.f. [3,4]), I argued in [5] that the prosodic peak of Contrastive-marking creates a partition of the asserted proposition into B (background) and F (Focus). The morphological wa-marking then introduces the Con operator that takes the structured meaning as its argument and yields a conventional implicature. The Contrastive-marked sentence presupposes th...

A Comparison of Precise Leveling and Persistent Scatterer SAR Interferometry for Building Subsidence Rate Measurement

It is well known that the most accurate method to detect changes of height is the geodetic precise leveling method. Due to the high demand work and time needed for precise leveling alternative methods are studied to obtain high quality height information. Differential SAR interferometry techniques such as the Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) method are studied to detect millimeter leve...

Leveling the Field: a Comment on Pervin

It is an honor to have the opportunity to comment on the scholarly essay of Pervin. It similarly has been an honor to join his text on personality theory and research (Cervone & Pervin, 2008), which for decades has been a bed-rock of undergraduate instruction in the area. As occurs often in Professor Pervin's work, in the present essay precisely the right question is asked. The concept of level...
