The Q-depth relation in the earth's mantle has been estimated for long-period P waves from two deep-focus and three intermediate earthquakes. The amplitude spectrums of the first P waves from 114 seismograms at recording stations inthe distance range between 15 and 103 degrees, have been corrected for the crustal structure and the instrument and used to measure the effects of attenuation ver th...

The U.S. Army’s Force XXI initiative provides automated C4I systems to commanders and their staffs at the brigade through corps echelons to increase situational awareness and support improved command and control decision making. These systems provide extensive automation support, including local area networks for data communications within command post structures and wide area communications li...
