North Atlantic Treaty Organization Organisation du Traite de I’Atlantique Nord The Mission of AGARD According to its Charter, the mission of AGARD is to bring together the leading personalities of the NATO nations in the fields of science and technology relating to aerospace for the following purposes: - Recommending effective ways for the member nations to use their research and development capabilities for the common benefit of the NATO community; - Providing scientific andtechnical advice and assistance to the Military Committee in the field of aerospace research and development (with particular regard to its military application); - Continuously stimulating advances in the aerospace sciences relevant to strengthening the common defence posture; - Improving the co-operation among member nations in aerospace research and development; - Exchange of scientific and technical information; - Providing assistance to member nations for the purpose of increasing their scientific and technical potential; - Rendering scientific and technical assistance, as requested, to other NATO bodies and to member nations in connection with research and development problems in the aerospace field. The highest authority within AGARD is the National Delegates Board consisting of officially appointed senior representatives from each member nation. The mission of AGARD is carried out through the Panels which are composed of experts appointed by the National Delegates, the Consultant and Exchange Programme and the Aerospace Applications Studies Programme. The results of AGARD work are reported to the member nations and the NATO Authorities through the AGARD series of publications of which this is one. Participation in AGARD activities is by invitation only and is normally limited to citizens of the NATO nations. The content of this publication has been reproduced directly from material supplied by AGARD or the authors.

As part of the western contribution to this conference AGARD asked NASA’s Center for Aerospace Information (CASI) to prepare a bibliography on the topic. ‘Aircraft Flight Safety’ is a very broad theme, and as such is not a topic by which documents relating to aspects of it (such as the effects of adverse weather or human errors causing accidents) are likely to be indexed in a database. This made it difficult to prepare a comprehensive bibliography, and so it was decided to search for the aspects discussed in the 16 papers prepared as a result of AGARD’s call for papers. Despite these limitations, it was felt that others would be interested in this bibliography and AGARD decided to give it a full distribution as an AGARD Report. The entire conference proceedings, which will comprise about 130 papers, all but about 20 in Russian, will be printed in Russia. AGARD will give it a limited distribution, but the date of publication and the bibliographic details are not yet known.

Poirier In the distance, the Montérégie, viewed from Mont-Royal (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) (Courtesy of the community Ste-Croix, Saint-Laurent) iii ABSTRACT In-cloud icing is continually associated with potential hazardous meteorological conditions at higher altitudes in the troposphere across the world and near surface over mountainous and cold climate regions. This PhD thesis aims to scrutinize the horizontal and vertical characteristics of near-surface in-cloud icing events, the associated cloud microphysics, develop and demonstrate an innovative method to determine the climatology of icing events at high resolution. In reference to ice accretion, the quantification of icing events is based on the cylinder model. With the use of North American Regional Reanalysis, a preliminary mapping of the icing severity index spanning a 32-year time period is introduced and in that way the freezing precipitation during the ice storm of January 1998 is quantified and compared to observations. Also, case studies over Mount- Bélair and Bagotville are investigated. The assessment of icing events obtained from NARR demonstrates agreements with observation over simple terrains and disparities over complex terrains, due to the coarse resolution of the reanalysis.

  • Thermometer 1 Thermometer
    Thermometer 1 Thermometer Developed during the 16th and 17th centuries, a thermometer (from the Greek θερμός (thermo) meaning "warm" and meter, "to measure") is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles.[1] A thermometer has two important elements: the temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb on a mercury thermometer) in which some physical change occurs with temperature, plus some means of converting this physical change into a numerical value (e.g. the scale on a mercury thermometer). A clinical mercury-in-glass thermometer There are many types of thermometer and many uses for thermometers, as detailed below in sections of this article. Temperature While an individual thermometer is able to measure degrees of hotness, the readings on two thermometers cannot be compared unless they conform to an agreed scale. There is today an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. Internationally agreed temperature scales are designed to approximate this closely, based on fixed points and interpolating thermometers. The most recent official temperature scale is the International Temperature Scale of 1990. It extends from 0.65 K (−272.5 °C; −458.5 °F) to approximately 1358 K (1085 °C; 1985 °F). Thermometer Thermometer 2 Development Various authors have credited the invention of the thermometer to Cornelius Drebbel, Robert Fludd, Galileo Galilei or Santorio Santorio. The thermometer was not a single invention, however, but a development. Philo of Byzantium and Hero of Alexandria knew of the principle that certain substances, notably air, expand and contract and described a demonstration in which a closed tube partially filled with air had its end in a container of water.[2] The expansion and contraction of the air caused the position of the water/air interface to move along the tube.

On behalf of the Vertebrate Pest Council, welcome to the 12th Vertebrate Pest Conference. Every other year since 1962, the Vertebrate Pest Council has sponsored the conference with the primary objective of bringing individuals interested in vertebrate pest control together to discuss problems and solutions of mutual concern. The main objectives of the conference are: 1. To exchange information on vertebrate pest management and related matters. 2. To advance environmentally safe vertebrate pest management methodologies. 3. To build cooperation with public and private agencies in solving vertebrate pest problems. 4. To consider and promote discussion and interaction among agencies and others about problems of mutual concern in the field of vertebrate pest management.

Map showing the 'Western line' and blast locations. The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts that took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and India's financial capital. 209 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks. Details The bombs were placed on trains plying on the western line of the suburban ("local") train network, which forms the backbone of the city's transport network. The first blast reportedly took place at 18:24 IST (12:54 UTC), and the explosions continued for approximately eleven minutes, until 18:35, during the after-work rush hour. All the bombs had been placed in the first-class "general" compartments (some compartments are reserved for women, called "ladies" compartments) of several trains running from Churchgate, the city-centre end of the western railway line, to the western suburbs of the city. They exploded at or in the near vicinity of the suburban railway stations of Matunga Road, Mahim, Bandra, Khar Road, Jogeshwari, Bhayandar and Borivali.

THE LOCKERBIE TERRORIST ATTACK AND LIBYA: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS* Steve Emersont Following the horrific terrorist crime that saw Pan Am flight 103 literally blown out of the sky, an incredible journey of forensic investigations and intelligence began that ultimately resulted in a momentous court verdict in 2001. The forensic investigation alone into Pan Am 103, was one of the most intense, meticulous and expensive criminal investigations ever undertaken. As many will recall, the initial theory was that Iran had effectively "subcontracted" this murderous project to Syria and Libya in retaliation for the U.S. downing of an Iranian jet. In fact, in the months before the Pan Am 103 bombing, a Syrian cell possessing barometric bombs had been arrested in Frankfurt. It was thought at the time that these bombs were to be placed on aircraft departing from Frankfurt to Britain.
