Evaluating the relationship between data resolution and the accuracy of identified helicopter landing zones (HLZs)
Helicopters provide critical advantages in military operations because of their ability to land at small and unimproved sites. While the military uses models to identify helicopter landing zones (HLZs), little research has been conducted on their accuracy. This study evaluated the performance of an HLZ detection model derived from existing selection criteria that incorporated elevation and land cover data with spatial resolutions ranging from 1 m…

The Cost of the Sabine Farm
M Y SUBJECT has nothing to do with economic conditions either in Horace's time or in ours. If we took seriously what Horace says somewhat too often about his comfortable life in the Sabine hills, and if we have had firsthand acquaintance with the delusion that by returning to the soil we can bring down the domestic budget, we might be concerned for Horace's nervous system at the end of the month, when the bills came in. That famous farm of his wa…
Comment and Recollection
The Humanities in the New College Program
M OST of our colleges have revised and reorganized their courses for greater service in the postwar era. Science, because of its contribution to victory, enjoys a new prestige, but victory itself was for many of us beclouded by the employment of the atomic bomb, and those who make the college programs have not entirely escaped the general perplexity. There will be stronger science courses, but there will also be courses designed to counteract or …
Memories of an Educator and a Man of Letters
The Humanities in the Americas
M ties are indeed, and have long been, in peril, but not from war. What blanches the scholarly cheek is perhaps the possibility that the college course may be permanently shrunk from four to three years and our own lecturing cut down. This, of course, would be tragic, yet the effect upon the humanities would not necessarily be disastrous. In earlier and more precise decades the humanities were the Greek and Latin classics. They earned the name of…

The Future of Radio as a Cultural Medium
tribution of sound which the radio provides will be for education, as for other enterprises, an ordeal before it becomes an opportunity. The size and the variety of the audience, of all ages and tastes, is a severe challenge to what we educators usually impose upon reluctant or docile batches of impounded youth, and the novel medium compels us to reconsider what we are doing and to define the conditions upon which we are likely to succeed
