Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive control of an autonomous underwater vehicle: experimental results on ODIN
TL;DR: The adaptive controller has been successfully implemented and experimentally validated on omnidirectional intelligent navigator (ODIN), an autonomous underwater vehicle that has been designed and built at the University of Hawaii.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ketamine Effect on ICP in Traumatic Brain Injury
TL;DR: There currently exists Oxford level 2b, GRADE C evidence to support that ketamine does not increase ICP in severe TBI patients that are sedated and ventilated, and in fact may lower it in selected cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periodically Triggered Seismicity at Mount Wrangell, Alaska, After the Sumatra Earthquake
TL;DR: In this paper, a swarm of 14 local earthquakes near Mount Wrangell, almost 11,000 kilometers away, occurred at intervals of 20 to 30 seconds, in phase with the largest positive vertical ground displacements during the Rayleigh surface waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging the seismic structure of the crust and upper mantle beneath the Great Plains, Rio Grande Rift, and Colorado Plateau using receiver functions
David C. Wilson,David C. Wilson,Richard C. Aster,James Ni,Stephen P. Grand,Michael West,Wei Gao,W. Scott Baldridge,S. Semken +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the seismic structure of the crust and upper mantle of the southwestern United States is examined using receiver functions calculated from teleseismic arrivals recorded in the Colorado Plateau-Rio Grande Rift-Great Plains Seismic Transect (LA RISTRA) experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacier, fjord, and seismic response to recent large calving events, Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland
Jason M. Amundson,Martin Truffer,Martin P. Lüthi,Mark Fahnestock,Michael West,Roman J. Motyka +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that the earthquakes are instead caused by icebergs scraping the fjord bottom during calving, which does not cause episodic rapid glacier slip, thereby contradicting the originally proposed glacial earthquake mechanism.
