Round Table Summary: Radiative Transfer Problems

Emotional problems in children; summary of round table discussion.

1129 5 EMOTIONAL problems in children are closely rebated to disturbances in panent-child relationships, much of the discussion was focused around this aspect of the topic. Much of the pediatrician’s activities with parents concerns itself with attempts to influence parent-child relationships for the benefit of the child patient. A great deal has been learned in child psychiatry about the manag...

Round-Table Group Optimization for Sequencing Problems

In this paper, a round-table group optimization (RTGO) algorithm is presented. RTGO is a simple metaheuristic framework using the insights of research on group creativity. In a cooperative group, the agents work in iterative sessions to search innovative ideas in a common problem landscape. Each agent has one base idea stored in its individual memory, and one social idea fed by a round-table gr...

Inverse Problems in Radiative Transfer : a Review

An elementary introduction to the inverse problem of radiative transfer as applied to remote measurements of infrared radiation from planetary atmospheres is presented, along with a review of work which has been done on the problem. Particular attention is given to the problems of inferring vertical temperature profiles and water vapor distributions in the earth's atmosphere. The principle meth...

Inverse Problems in Hydrologic Radiative Transfer

Optically, phytoplankton reveal their presence through their influence on the inherent optical properties (IOP’s) of the water. The main effect of phytoplankton is to increase the absorption of light by virtue of the strong absorption by their photosynthetic (chlorophyll a) and accessory pigments. A secondary effect is to increase the backscattering coefficient of the medium in a manner that de...
