The successful applicant is expected to carry out research in the area of processing and inversion of electromagnetic and magnetic data for UXO detection and discrimination and to interact with funding agencies and collaborating institutions. The applicant should have a strong background in electromagnetic and potential-field methods, geophysical inversions, and optimization techniques. Familiarity with Fourier analysis, wavelet transforms, and statistical simulation is desired. The position is open immediately and the initial appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal. Initial salary is US$35,000/year with standard benefits. Please submit your application including a curriculum vitae and names of three references to: Dr. Yaoguo Li Department of Geophysics Colorado School of Mines 1500 Illinois Street Golden, CO 80401 USA email: ygli@mines.edu ----------------------------- From: Hans Schneider Subject: LAA contents Date: Sat, 3 Aug 2002 Linear Algebra and its Applications Sept 15, 2002 Vol. 353, 1-3 Table of Contents Helmut Wielandt 19 December 1910-14 February 2001 A personal memoir Hans Schneider Wielandt's proof of the exponent inequality for primitive nonnegative matrices Hans Schneider The Laplacian spectrum of a mixed graph Xiao-Dong Zhang and Jiong-Sheng Li Ranks and inertias of Hermitian block Toeplitz matrices Jerome Dancis Kronecker product based stability tests and performance bounds for a class of 2D continuous-discrete linear systems E.
