Diachronic Corpus of Mission Statements for NC and FL Community Colleges

This is a diachronic corpus of mission statements, philosophy statements, and purpose statements for community colleges in North Carolina and Florida. Texts date from the mid-1960s to 2020. Texts are indexed to IPEDS unit id. Texts for some years are missing. "OTM" means other than mission (which is typically a statement of purpose but may include statement of goals). Data were retrieved from archived catalogs and archived websites (e.g., Wayback Machine). The highest level of heading was used. For example, if a college published a statement of mission and a statement of purpose, the statement with the most prominent (typically the first) heading was used.

This version V2.1 was produced to facilitate testing of the RRR software (<a href="https://github.com/c-h-david/rrr">https://github.com/c-h-david/rrr</a>). Notable details regarding this version compared to V2.0 are as follows: <ul> <li>The temporal sequence files (seq_TIM*.csv) of observations for regular temporal sampling now all have a sampling mean time of 0 second for every river reach instead of the previous value which corresponded to the cycle of observations (e.g. 259,200 seconds for a three-day regular temporal sampling). This allows to start sampling at the onset of each simulation instead of at the end of the first cycle. This change does impact the findings of the study.</li> <li>The sampled discharge files (Qout*.nc) where produced with an updated version of rrr_anl_spl_mod.py which now selects the time step at which a sample is retained using a slightly different approach. The update only impacts sampling results when the sampling time matches the river model output time step exactly, and is more accurate now. This change does impact the findings of the study.</li> </ul>

Geologic Map of Ceres [Dawn Mission] - Global dataset based on the 15 individual quadrangle maps

Background: Between 2011 and 2018, the NASA Dawn spacecraft visited asteroid (4) Vesta and dwarf planet (1) Ceres to investigate the surfaces of both protoplanets through optical and hyperspectral imaging and their composition through gamma-ray and neutron spectroscopy from orbit. For both Vesta and Ceres, a geologic mapping investigation was realized based on optical and hyperspectral data as well as a photogrammetrically derived digital terrain model. For the global mapping investigation, mappers employed Geographic Information System (GIS) software to map 15 quadrangles. The results were published as individual map sheets alongside research papers discussing the geologic evolution. The style of collaborative mapping to produce a consistent global view represented by individual quadrangle maps is comparably new despite abundantly available mapping experiences. Ongoing data acquisition during mapping created considerable challenges for the coordination and homogenization of mapping results. To handle this issue simultaniously to the active mission phase as best as possible a GIS-based environment was needed in order to conduct one homogenous dataset (w.r.t. geometrical and visual character) that represents one geologically-consistent map at the end. Therefore, the mapping team was supported by an predefined mapping template which was generated in the proprietary ArcGIS environment. The template contains different layers (called feature classes) for the different object/geomoetry types and contains predefined attribute values as well as cartographic symbols. The cartographic symbols follow international standards as far as possible. The colours for the geological units refering to established colour values used in geologic maps, e.g., standardized planetary maps generated by USGS, but considering individual needs and requests within the mapping team, too. The data product pubished here based on the mentioned GIS-based template and represents the merged global GIS-dataset of the 15 individually conducted geological maps of Ceres within the Dawn Mission. The detailed descriptions of all those scientific interpretions are published in the papers listed within the reference section. Based on team-internal decisions the dataset is provided within the properitary format of ESRIs ArcGIS environment. However, in order to use the data product also outside this software environment, single shapefiles with additional information about the symbology are also included. All available data are available within the compressed folder and the readme-file gives some informative remarks for the useage of the data Additional remark: The data set provided here does not represent a holistic (in term of topological and scientifical) unification of the 15 individual mapping data as primarily geometric and content-related inconsistencies at quadrangle boundaries prohibited a unified compilation. On the one side, this is due to the fact that the the aim of the mapping project was not to produce a uniform global map, but rather to gain a first impression of the geology of Ceres and publish associated scientific papers. On the other side, that the geological mapping project ran parallel to the regular mission phase, and a finalizing review process for creating a global geological dataset wasn´t scheduled in the mission planning. This deficiency cannot be remedied simply by merging topological missmatches or changing the visualisation. Rather it will require ongoing and detailed scientific discussion of the interpretation results, which could be solved within an updating version of the global map.

EXTREMA: Random autonomous interplanetary mission scenarios for EXTREMA Simulation Hub (ESH) hardware-in-the-loop simulations

EXTREMA (short for Engineering Extremely Rare Events in Astrodynamics for Deep-Space Missions in Autonomy) enables self-driving spacecraft, challenging the current paradigm under which spacecraft are piloted in the interplanetary space [1]. Deep-space guidance, navigation, and control applied in a complex scenario is the subject of EXTREMA, which wants to engineer ballistic capture in a totally autonomous fashion. EXTREMA is erected on three pillars. Pillar 1 is on autonomous navigation. Pillar 2 involves autonomous guidance and control. Pillar 3 deals with autonomous ballistic capture. The outcomes from each one of the three pillars is validated with a tailored experiment featuring the model of the associated CubeSat subsystems. Integrated experiments involving all the components of a CubeSat GNC system are carried on in the EXTREMA Simulation Hub, an integrated facility simulating an interplanetary transfer with a hardware-in-the-loop setup. The project has been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant in 2019. The data set is made of 1000 (even more in some releases) random interplanetary mission scenarios used for hardware-in-the-loop simulations performed in the EXTREMA simulation Hub (ESH). Each scenario comes with the following information: generation seed, initial epoch, initial state (Keplerian elements and Cartesian coordinates), initial attitude (quaternion and direct cosine matrix), initial mass, number of revolution, time of flight, target final epoch, target final state (Keplerian elements and Cartesian Coordinates), and other supplementary data. Scenarios are organized in directories each containing at least the following files: <ul> <li>'esh_ic.json': random scenario information saved in .json format;</li> <li>'esh_ic.mat': random scenario information saved in .mat format.</li> </ul> Some releases provide only a limited set of data in the 'esh_ic.json' file. For those, the full set of information is found in the 'esh_ic_full.json' file.

FK180310 SCOPE-Falkor cruise, Seaglider 626, Mission 2

The SCOPE-Falkor cruise was a month long expedition, primarily to conduct mapping of the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) within a mesoscale cyclonic eddy. The procedure was to utilize two Long Range Autonomous Vehicles (AUVs) near the center of the eddy and  to capture the microbial ecology within the DCM over several diel cycles. Two autonomous Seagliders, sg148 (mission 15) and sg626 (mission 2) were deployed along the exterior boundary of the cyclonic eddy to conduct spatial surveys  of salinity, chlorophyll,  optics, and oxygen, diving  generally from 200 to  600 meters depth.  Since the R/V Falkor and the LRAUVs would be drifting near each other and sampling close to the center of the cyclonic eddy, both Seagliders were to give the regional context by simultaneously  traversing the margin of the eastern edge of the  cyclonic eddy and western edge of the anti-cyclonic eddy.

The Church as the Family of Trinity: The Identity and Mission of the Laity

The Church as a communion of believers is rooted in Jesus Christ, the founder. The Holy Trinity is the source of the communion of the Church. The Church grows through missionary activities conducted by different ministries (clergy, laity and other ministries). Important questions arise from this premise; what is the role and place of the lay people in the Church's missionary activities? Is the presence of the lay people recognized in the Church? If yes, in what which ways? By virtue of the sacrament of baptism all faithful share a responsibility for the Church's mission. All baptized faithful share common priesthood through baptism. However, what is the limitation between the lay faithful and the Orders by the Holy Spirit in terms of participating in missionary activities? Upon this reflection, it is anticipated that it is better to balance and harmonize this problem by researching on the Church as the Family of Trinity. This paper therefore discusses the identity and mission of the laity in the Church by showing the position of the lay faithful to the Church's apostolate. In this paper, I recognize that, the common priesthood of the faithful and that of ministerial or hierarchical priesthood are nonetheless interrelated.  This implies that, each of them in its own special way participates in one priesthood of Christ. Therefore, equality does not cancel the diversity in the ministries. This diversity is due to the Holy Spirit through which the Church is ordered and governed by a wonderful diversity. The model taken is of the Church as the Family of Trinity. That is, the communion of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as the model to the earthly Church. The aim of the Church as family of Trinity is to restore the correct balance and relationship between the institutional aspects of the Church and mystical. The two realities are inseparable and need each other. However, the whole purpose of the visible society is to proclaim and draw its members into the mystery of communion. This paper is primarily contextual to Africa. Its reflection is that; because of pyramidal Catholic Church in Africa, many lay Catholic faithful do not feel at home in the Catholic Church. The researcher believes that, fraternity has been wiped away because of the institutional model. Basing on the Trinitarian ecclesiology therefore, the Church as family of Trinity places all faithful as equal despite the hierarchical organization of the Church. Ultimately, this will lead to a life of brotherhood and sisterhood. The recognition and the awareness of the laity of their mission in the Church and in the world, makes the lay people to witness their believe in words and deeds especially in the education of the young generation.
