On 24 August 2014, the M 6.0 South Napa earthquake shook much of the San Francisco Bay area, leading to significant damage in the NapaValley. The earthquake occurred in the vicinity of the West Napa fault (122.313° W, 38.22° N, 11.3 km), a mapped structure located between the Rodger’s Creek and Green Valley faults, with nearly pure right-lateral strike-slip motion (strike 157°, dip 77°, rake –1...

For a nontrivial connected graph G = (V (G), E(G)), a set S ⊆ V (G) is called an edge geodetic set of G if every edge of G is contained in a geodesic joining some pair of vertices in S. The edge geodetic number g1(G) of G is the minimum order of its edge geodetic sets. Bounds for the edge geodetic number of Cartesian product graphs are proved and improved upper bounds are determined for a speci...

For a connected graph G of order n, a set S ⊆ V (G) is a geodetic set of G if each vertex v ∈ V (G) lies on a x-y geodesic for some elements x and y in S. The minimum cardinality of a geodetic set of G is defined as the geodetic number of G, denoted by g(G). A geodetic set of cardinality g(G) is called a g-set of G. A set S of vertices of a connected graph G is an open geodetic set of G if for ...

For a connected graph G = (V,E), a set S ⊆ E is called an edge-to-vertex geodetic set of G if every vertex of G is either incident with an edge of S or lies on a geodesic joining some pair of edges of S. The minimum cardinality of an edge-to-vertex geodetic set of G is gev(G). Any edge-to-vertex geodetic set of cardinality gev(G) is called an edge-to-vertex geodetic basis of G. A subset T ⊆ S i...

The need for a new vertical datum in Canada dates back to 1976 when a study group at the Geodetic Survey Division (GSD) of Natural Resources Canada investigated problems related to the existing vertical reference system (CGVD28) and recommended a redefinition of the vertical datum. The US National Geodetic Survey and GSD cooperated in the development of a new North American Vertical Datum (NAVD...

In addition to the bibliographies at the end of each section we recommend the following www-sites: PREFACE The Swiss Geodetic Commission (SGC) is an organisation within the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT). It is devoted to research into scientific problems of geodesy including the transfer to practical application in national surveying. Of particular importance is the promotion of internation...

Exposure analysis is a critical component of determining the health impact of pollutants. Global positioning systems (GPS) could be useful in developing time-location information for use in exposure analysis. This study compares four low cost GPS receivers with data logging capability (Garmin 60, Garmin Forerunner 201, GeoStats GeoLogger and Skytrx minitracker MT4100) in terms of accuracy, prec...
