Figure 1. Relief map of island of Hawaii (after Moore et al., 1995) showing locations of dive sites (triangles, except dive 389, which is a square), locations of shield volcanoes (L—Loihi, K—Kilauea, ML— Mauna Loa, H—Hualalai, MK—Mauna Kea, Ko—Kohala), areas of recent Kilauea eruptions along south coast of Hawaii (u—Mauna Ulu, p—Puu Oo), rift zones of Mauna Loa (parallel lines), large, ca. 100 ...

[1] Submersible dives on 22 active submarine volcanoes on the Mariana and Tonga-Kermadec arcs have discovered systems on six of these volcanoes that, in addition to discharging hot vent fluid, are also venting a separate CO2-rich phase either in the form of gas bubbles or liquid CO2 droplets. One of the most impressive is the Champagne vent site on NW Eifuku in the northern Mariana Arc, which i...

Glacio-isostatically induced seismic activity is recognized to play a major role in triggering submarine mass-movements along formerly glaciated continental margins. Ice load removal is known to cause fault instability and generate many earthquakes in these regions immediately after deglaciation. With rates of forced regression of ~7 m/100 yr at time of deglaciation (8-7 ka BP), southeastern Hu...

Recommended Citation Chase, Nathan. "Simulations of the DARPA Suboff submarine including self-propulsion with the E1619 propeller. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Pablo Carrica. His guidance and encouragement throughout my graduate career has been instrumental. I would also like to thank my other committee members, Dr. Fred Stern and Dr. Ching-Long Lin, for taking time...

[1] Mineralogical composition and pore fluid pressure are the crucial controls for mechanical stability of watersaturated sediments. Their in situ measurements were undertaken in earthquake-triggered slope deposits in Lake Lucerne (Switzerland) in addition to geophysical characterization and laboratory index properties, shear and consolidation experiments on core. Two lithological units were id...

Although, acoustic techniques are currently the mainstay for detection and tracking of submerged bodies like submarine and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), advent of silent submarines and the ensuing reduction of acoustic signatures and development of anechoic coatings is making detection very difficult especially in shallow water environment. Though there are some promising non-acoustic t...

The field of structural health monitoring is concerned with accurately and reliably assessing the integrity of a given structure to reduce ownership costs, increase operational lifetime, and improve safety. In structural health monitoring systems, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a promising measurement technology for its superior ability of explosion proof, immunity to electromagnetic interference...

At CRYPTO2005, Xiaoyun Wang, Hongbo Yu and Yiqun Lisa Yin proposed a collision attack on SHA-0 that could generate a collision with complexity 2 SHA-0 hash operations. Although the method of Wang et al. can find messages that satisfy the sufficient conditions in steps 1 to 20 by using message modification, it makes no mention of the message modifications needed to yield satisfaction of the suff...
