Recent developments in GBVP (Helmut Moritz 1977)

Image
Dr Helmut Moritz has been at OSU regularly as a visiting researcher. He worked there hosted by Urho Votila and other geodesist. In 1977 Moritz wrote a report entitled “Recent developments in the GBVP”. The report reviews progress in the mathematical formulation and treatment of the goedetic boundary-value problem, in particular, the existence and uniqueness theorems of L. Hormander and the gravity space approach due to Sanso. The method of Hormander uses a very advanced inverse function theorem of nonlinear functional analysis. Sanso has transformed Molodensky’s free boundary-value problem into a fixed boundary-value problem in “gravity space”, thereby essentially reducing the mathematical complexity. As a linear approximation, the gravity space approach gives identical superior for treating questions of existence and uniqueness of the solution, although it is restricted to the pure gravitational case without centrifugal force. In the introduction Moritz wrote; The last five ears have ...

Commission 6 - FIG 1977

Image
Commission 6 of the FIG for period 1976-1978 was headed by the following person; Prof Dr Ludger Hallermann (Geodetic Institute, Bonn) – Chairman. (Hallermann, 1936-2019; PhD 1965 Bonn. Geodetic Dept at Bonn was set up in 1974 -  wiki ) Dr Ing John van den Berg (Gavle, Sweden) – Vice-Chairman. Tiada info tambahan yang boleh dikutip tentang van den Berg. Dipl Ing Norbert Kalischewski (Geodetic Institute, Bonn) – Secretary. Tugas Secretary biasanya dipegang oleh meraka yang sama tempat bertugas dengan Chairman.   FIG Commisson 6 Official 1976-1978 The working activities of Commission 6 concentrated in following five topics; Surveying tolerance and accuracy (Chair – Dr Ing John van den Berg). Volume calculation and geometric calculation in engineering (Dipl-Ing Kochen, FGR). Deformation measurements and automation of the measurement process (Dr Platek, Poland). Underground conduit cadastral management (Dipl Ing Karel Kollar, Czechoslovakia). Gyro theodolite and their applications ...

FIG International Congress Stockholm 1977

Image
The surveying degree program at UTM started in 1975. In 1977 FIG held its international congress in Stockholm Sweden. The proceeding of this congress is available from UTM library. So this FIG Congress is the first held after Surveying degree program established in UTM. Proceedings of FIG Commission 6, Stockholm - - - - - Setiap kali cuti hujung tahun pelajar dut tajaan jpa perlu menjalani latihan praktikal di jupem. Latihan akan bermula seminggu atau dua minggu sebaik tamat peperiksaan akhir. Pada hujung T1 latihan tersebut dijalani di Pejabat Ukur Daerah Kinta, Batu Gajah. Latihan adalah di bawah JUD Tuan Andrew Phang. Untuk sampai ke BG menaiki bas turun di stesen Lahat dan sambung pula dengan bas General ke BG.  Selalunya akan sampai sekitar lewat jam lapan. Sekali-sekala timbul masalah kalau bas ke Lahat rosak atau lewat bergerak. Maka lagi lambatlah sampai ke tempat kerja.  - - - - -

Tesis Geodesi UNSW 1975 hingga 1977

Image
Berikut adalah tesis geodesi UNSW sekitar tahun 1975, 1976 dan 1977. 1975: GJ Hoar “The analysis, precision and optimization of control surveys”. GJF Holden “An evaluation of orthophotography in an integrated mapping system”. 1976: EG Anderson “The effect of topography on solution of Stokes’ problem”. AHW Kearsley “The computation of deflections of the vertical from gravity anomalies” Arthur Henry William. 1977: K Bretreger “Earth tide effect on geodetic observations”. Alat Tellurometer MRA101 - UNSW (foto pada 1966) - - - - - Pengajian T1 tamat dengan peperiksaan akhir. Subjek survey boleh dijawab baik. Subjek TD yang dikendali oleh pengajar ME memang tidak relevan langsung dengan survey. Mujur juga ketika final dapat dikendali pada tahap sekadar untuk lepas. Tinggal subjek F dan dua kertas M1 dan M2. F dirasakan boleh lepas maka tinggallah M1 dan M2. - - - - -

Setem pos keluaran tahun 1976 terdiri dari enam siri seperti berikut. 19 January: Mint Stamp Butterfly Coil. 6 February: 75th Anniversary of the Institute of Medical Research. 28 February: Installation of the Yang Di Pertuan Agong, Sultan Yahya Petra. 17 August: Official Opening of the State Assembly Complex and Administrative Building, Sarawak. 18 October: 25th Anniversary of Employees Provident Fund, Malaysia. 20 November: 25th Anniversary of the Malaysian Association for the Blind. Setem -  25th Anniversary of the Malaysian Association for the Blind - - - - - Tahun 1976 tahun menunggu keputusan peperiksaan. Tiada aktiviti yang dapat diceritakan. Sekadar di rumah dengan rutin menunggu surat tiba di kaunter wakil pos. Apabila rakan sama batch telah mula belajar samaada di sekolah dan ipta rasa tertanya apa yang sudah berlaku. Ada rakan yang memberi beberapa cadangan. Antaranya datanglah ke sekolah lama dan ada juga yang mencadang terus saja ke institusi yang dipohon.    ...
