It is commonly designated as URS! (from its French name, Union Radio Scientifique Internationale). Its aims are (l) to promote the scientific study of radio communi­ cations, (2) to aid and organize radio research requiring co­ operation on an international scale and to encourage the discussion and publications of the results, (3) to facilitate agreement upon common methods of measurement and the standardization of measur­ ing instruments, and (4) to stimulate and to coordinate studies of the scientific aspects of telecommunications using electro­ magnetic waves, guided and unguided. The International Union itslef is an organizational framework to aid in promoting these objectives. The actual technical work is largely done by the National Committees in the various countries. The officers of the International Union are: President: Prof. W. N. Christiansen (Australia) Past President: M. J. Voge (France) Vice-Presidents: Prof. W. E. Gordon (USA) Dr. A. P. Mitra (India) Prof. A. Smolinski (Poland) Prof. F. L. Stumpers (Netherlands) Secretary General: Prof. P. Hontoy (Belgium) Honorary Presidents: H. G. Booker (USA) B. Decaux (France) W. Dieminger (West Germany) J. A. Ratcliffe (UK) R. L. Smith-Rose (UK) The Secretary's office and the headquarters of the organi­ zation are located at Rue de Nieuwenhove, 81, B-1180 Brussels, Belgium. The Union is supported by contributions (dues) from 36 member countries. Additional funds for symposia and other scientific activities of the Union are provided by !CSU from contributions received for this purpose from UNESCO. The International Union, as of the XVIII General Assembly held in Lima, Peru, August 1975, has nine bodies called Commissions for centralizing studies in the principal technical fields. The names of the Commissions and the chairmen and vice­ chairmen follow. A. Electromagnetic Metrology Chairman: Prof. S. Okamura (Japan) Vice-Chairman: Prof. V. Koss (West Germany) B. Fields and Waves Chairman: Prof. L. B. Felsen {USA) Vice-Chairman: Prof. H. G. Unger (West Germany) C. Signals and Systems Chairman: Prof. V. Zima (Czechoslovakia) Vice-Chairman: Dr. J. K. Wolf (USA) D. Physical Electronics Chairman: Prof. G. W. Farnell (Canada) Vice-Chairman: Dr. J. LeMezec (France) E. Electromangentic Noise and Interference Chairman: Mr. G. Hagn (USA) Vice-Chairman: Prof. S. Lundquist (Sweden) F. Wave Phenomena in Non-ionized Media Chairman: Prof. A. T. Waterman {USA) Vice-Chairman: Dr. D. Gjessing (Norway) G. Ionospheric Radio and Propagation Chairman: Dr. B. Hultqvist (Sweden) Vice-Chairman: Dr. P. Bauer (France) H. Waves in Plasmas Chairman: Prof. F. W. Crawford (USA) Vice-Chairman: Dr. M. Petit (France) J. Radio Astronomy Chairman: Prof. H. Tanaka (Japan) Vice-Chairman: Dr. V. Radhakrishnan (India) Every three years, the International Union holds a meeting called the General Assembly. The next General Assembly, the XX will be held in Washington, D.C., USA in August 1981. The Secretariat prepares and distributes the Proceedings of these General Assemblies. The International Union arranges inter­ national symposia on specific subjects pertaining to the work of one Commission or to several Commissions. The International Union also cooperates with other Unions in internattonal symposia on subjects of joint interest. Radio is unique among the fields of scientific work in having a specific adaptability to large-scale international research programs, for many of the phenomena that must be studied are worldwide in extent and yet are in a measure subject to · control by experimenters. Exploration of space and the extension of scientific observations to the space environment is dependent on radio for its communication link and at the same time expands the scope of radio research. One of its branches, radio astron­ omy, involves cosmos-wide phenomena. URSI has in all this a distinct field of usefulness in furnishing a meeting ground for the numerous workers in the manifold aspects of radio research; its meetings and committee activities furnish valuable means of promoting research through exchange of ideas.

The word "salubrious" comes from the Latin word "salubris" meaning "healthy; wholesome; sound; useful; vigorous". Webster's dictionary defines the English derivative "salubrious" as: 1. favorable to, or promoting health or well being; invigorating; 2. spiritually wholesome; conducive to good results". It is in this context of fully promoting the health and well being of the White Race that we use this term in its true literal meaning. We of the CHURCH OF THE CREATOR want to differentiate this term from "Natural Hygiene popularly used for many decades by health practitioners devoted to this worthy art and science.

  • Geologic Studies of Planetary Surfaces Using Radar Polarimetric Imaging 2
    Geologic studies of planetary surfaces using radar polarimetric imaging 2 4 Lynn M. Carter NASA Goddard Space Flight Center 8 Donald B. Campbell 9 Cornell University 10 11 Bruce A. Campbell 12 Smithsonian Institution 13 14 14 Abstract: Radar is a useful remote sensing tool for studying planetary geology because it is 15 sensitive to the composition, structure, and roughness of the surface and can penetrate some 16 materials to reveal buried terrain. The Arecibo Observatory radar system transmits a single 17 sense of circular polarization, and both senses of circular polarization are received, which allows 18 for the construction of the Stokes polarization vector. From the Stokes vector, daughter products 19 such as the circular polarization ratio, the degree of linear polarization, and linear polarization 20 angle are obtained. Recent polarimetric imaging using Arecibo has included Venus and the 21 Moon. These observations can be compared to radar data for terrestrial surfaces to better 22 understand surface physical properties and regional geologic evolution. For example, 23 polarimetric radar studies of volcanic settings on Venus, the Moon and Earth display some 24 similarities, but also illustrate a variety of different emplacement and erosion mechanisms. 25 Polarimetric radar data provides important information about surface properties beyond what can 26 be obtained from single-polarization radar. Future observations using polarimetric synthetic 27 aperture radar will provide information on roughness, composition and stratigraphy that will 28 support a broader interpretation of surface evolution. 29 2 29 1.0 Introduction 30 31 Radar polarimetry has the potential to provide more information about surface physical 32 properties than single-polarization backscatter measurements, and has often been used in remote 33 sensing observations of Solar System objects.

  • South Pole-Aitken Basin
    Feasibility Assessment of All Science Concepts within South Pole-Aitken Basin INTRODUCTION While most of the NRC 2007 Science Concepts can be investigated across the Moon, this chapter will focus on specifically how they can be addressed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA). SPA is potentially the largest impact crater in the Solar System (Stuart-Alexander, 1978), and covers most of the central southern farside (see Fig. 8.1). SPA is both topographically and compositionally distinct from the rest of the Moon, as well as potentially being the oldest identifiable structure on the surface (e.g., Jolliff et al., 2003). Determining the age of SPA was explicitly cited by the National Research Council (2007) as their second priority out of 35 goals. A major finding of our study is that nearly all science goals can be addressed within SPA. As the lunar south pole has many engineering advantages over other locations (e.g., areas with enhanced illumination and little temperature variation, hydrogen deposits), it has been proposed as a site for a future human lunar outpost. If this were to be the case, SPA would be the closest major geologic feature, and thus the primary target for long-distance traverses from the outpost. Clark et al. (2008) described four long traverses from the center of SPA going to Olivine Hill (Pieters et al., 2001), Oppenheimer Basin, Mare Ingenii, and Schrödinger Basin, with a stop at the South Pole. This chapter will identify other potential sites for future exploration across SPA, highlighting sites with both great scientific potential and proximity to the lunar South Pole.

  • Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America
    Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America There are approximately 101,135sexual abuse claims filed. Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.

    Long Island Section 2009 Annual Awards Ceremony MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN IEEE Colleagues and Friends: I am delighted to welcome everyone to the 2009 IEEE Long Island Section’s Awards Banquet. This is a special year as we are celebrating the 125th Anniversary of the IEEE. Tonight we will be presenting awards in several categories. This year Long Island members will be receiving national, regional, and local awards. The IEEE uses these awards to recognize its members for their outstanding accomplishments. This year, three Long Island members were awarded the prestigious IEEE Fellow Award. Long Island members were also awarded eight IEEE Region 1 awards. It is clear that the members of the Long Is- land Section continue to demonstrate the excellent quality of their capabilities and character. We will also be taking time tonight to thank the section volunteers. All of us can be proud of the efforts expended by the people on our Executive Committee (ExCOM). The ExCOM members toil for many hours in order to provide such IEEE services including technical lectures and professional development events to the members of the Long Island Section. I would like to thank Jon Garruba and Nick Golas for arranging this year’s Awards Banquet. They have now joined the select group of people who have been Awards Banquet organizers and they now know what it takes to arrange an event like this. It may come in handy when their children are getting married. I would also like to thank the Awards Committee headed by Jesse Taub in their impor- tant task of selecting and advocating tonight’s awardees.
