Energy-efficient approximate computation in Topaz
… produce incorrect results. We present Topaz, a new task-based language for computations that execute on approximate computing platforms that may occasionally produce arbitrarily inaccurate results. The Topaz implementation maps approximate tasks onto the approximate machine and …

Optimal allocation of recreational activities within a reservoir area utilizing topaz
TOPAZ, which is the Technique for the Optimal Placement of Activities in Zones, was developed to provide the urban planner with a workable tool from which he could determine the best allocation of a set of activities to a set of zones and at the same time minimize cost. The main objective of this …

Delineation of Surface Water Features Using RADARSAT-2 Imagery and a TOPAZ Masking Approach over the Prairie Pothole Region in Canada
… resolution acquired at nearly the same time. TOPAZ software was used to determine the maximum possible extent of water ponding on the surface by analyzing high-resolution LiDAR-based DEM data. Removing water bodies outside the depressions mapped by TOPAZ improved the resulting images, which …

Comparison of Two Algorithms for Removing Depressions and Delineating Flow Networks From Grid Digital Elevation Models
… curvature, channel slope, and drainage density. TOPAZ (ver 1.2) and ArcView were each used to generate a depression-free surface, flow network and watershed area. Characteristics of the areas 'cut' and 'filled' by the algorithms were compared to topographic characteristics of the watersheds. Blue …

New data structure and process model for automated watershed delineation
… and other important hydrologic features. TOPAZ (TOpographic PArameteriZation) [Garbrecht and Martz, 1992], is a typical program for raster based, automated drainage analysis. It initiates subwatersheds at source points and at points of intersection of drainage channels. TOPAZ treats lakes …

Beryllium analysis
The two Topaz samples do not contain Be, as was shown by the absence of characteristic beryllium lines in the ultraviolet spectrum of these minerals, The sample of Beryl probably containers 10% or less BeO, instead of the 14% as indicated by the Parsons and Barnes method of analysis. Al(OH)₃ is …

Petrography and Field Mapping of Eocene Intrusions and Adjacent Breccia Zones at the Scraper Springs Prospect, Elko County, Nevada
… alteration events. Geochemical data from topaz-rich samples are considered to help classify the hydrothermal system present at Scraper in addition to soil and rock chip samples. Finally, drill-hole data from 9 holes were logged and drawn in cross-section to offer one three-dimensional …

"We are a part of nature and we must care for it”: an investigation of co-design and youth experiences in nature-based interventions for wellbeing and environmental stewardship
The widespread human disconnection from nature has been identified as a root driver of contemporary crises, including the escalating mental health crisis and environmental emergency. In response, there is an urgent need for evidence-based interventions that strengthen nature connectedness, enhance …

Petrography and geochemistry of the Gross Spitzkoppe Igneous Complex Central-Western Namibia
The Gross Spitzkoppe Igneous Complex of western central Namibia represents an anorogenic magmatic event related to the opening of the South Atlantic ocean during the late Mesozoic period. The magmatic event (Tristan mantle plume?) is characterised by bimodal epizonal emplacement of evolved melt …
