But the longer-term issue is how to snatch victory, or at least honor, from the jaws of the current debacle in Iraq and so deliver the remote objective outlined by President Bush last month: an Iraq that "will stand as an example to the Middle East, encouraging reform and hope by demonstrating what life in a free society can be like".
A highly visible, remote objective matched with a reported sponsorship budget of $50,000, a full camera crew and daily Web updates from the climbers on the wall (via an elaborate system involving a satellite linkup from base camp) drew the ire of the wider climbing community.
However, in additional to these physical environment and sensor design factors, the ecologically determined spatial complexity of the reef itself presents significant challenges for remote sensing objectives.
The use of remote and objective scoring systems is of importance in fluorosis assessments due to the potential risk of examiner bias using clinical methods.
While tapping the potential of remote sensing, the objective was to map and explain spatial patterns of current crop diversity by the example of the irrigated agricultural landscapes of the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan.
In distributed test architectures that utilize remote testers, this objective can be complicated by the fact that testers may encounter problems relating to controllability and observability during the application of a test sequence.
We present the key scientific objectives of remote x-ray spectrometry in Muses-C mission to a near-earth asteroid and the specification of the onboard x-ray spectrometer, XRS.
A new class of distributed space missions is emerging which requires hundreds to thousands of satellites for real-time, distributed, multi-point sensing to accomplish long-awaited remote sensing and science objectives.
They may not be as effective as spending time together in person, but they have the same objectives: to recognize remote team members as human beings, understand how they are feeling, and learn about their lives outside the office.
To accomplish these objectives, we combined remote sensing data and techniques with spatial analysis and landscape metrics to describe and quantify the spatial and temporal distribution of tanglehead.
The reason is that you orient the team towards one big, remote and hard to understand objective, rather than a series of small, attainable and comprehensible objectives.
