Leupold is vice president of Leupold & Stevens Instruments, Inc. Other elected officers include Dr. Samuel L. Diack, board chairman; Lloyd Ruff, 1st vice president; James Kirwan, 2nd vice president; Rudolph Erickson, treasurer; and Dr. Francis Gilchrist, secretary. Re-elected to serve as Board members were Edward Miller, Dr. Ralph Macy and A. W. Hancock. The museum board voted a two-front drive aimed at securing guarantors for a long-term bank loan so construction of the building may be resumed. The board hopes to complete the structure in time for the opening of the new Portland zoo, adjacent to the museum. The new president commented on the rushing events of the age of science and said: "Fortunately for boys and girls of our area, we are a great deal ahead of the rest of the country in creating an educattonal center where youngsters may come to learn more about the world of science.

Gilchrist .... ' '. ~1 ' ' '" I. THE SCENE OF THE ORIGIN OF LIFE ..!fhe Uniqueness of the Earth. The earth is unique among the celestial bodies of which we have any knowledge in its fitness for life. If the earth were larger than it is it would have retained its original atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. Methane and ammonia which are stable in the presence of hydrogen, would also have been present. This is the state of Jupi­ ter and Saturn today. If the earth were smaller it would have lost most or all of its present atmosphere, as have Mars and our moon, As it is, the earth has lost and is still losing its lighter gases, hydrogen and helium, but is retaining its heavier gases, nitrogen and oxygen. Venus, the twin sister of the earth is also retaining its heavier gases, in this case carbon dioxide. If the earth were nearer the sun its surface would be too hot for liquid water. The carbon dioxide of the atmosphere would not have been dissolved and precipitated out as limestone. There could have been no life; hence no coal or oil, and no oxygen in the atmosphere. This is the plight of Venus, which possesses an atmosphere of carbon dioxide and has terrific dust storms. If the earth were farther from the sun it would be too cold for liquid water. Jupiter and Saturn are "rocks in a snowball." Even as it is, the earth has poles of perpetual snow and ice where life is rare.

  • Building a Generic Date-Time Framework - an Experience Report Using C++ Templates
    Building a Generic Date-Time Framework - An Experience Report using C++ Templates Jeff Garland President & CTO CrystalClear Software, Inc [email protected] Copyright © CrystalClear Software, Inc 2001 Revised September 7, 2001 Abstract This paper describes the experiences of the author using C++ templates to build the Generic Date Time Library (GDTL). While there are many date-time representations available for C++, the libraries are often unsuitable for domains that need high precision, long epochs, infinity, specialized calendars, or custom clock sources. The GDTL is an attempt to use generic and template programming techniques to provide a single library that meets all these demands, as well as more typical date-time programming. To build a single library, templates are used in several roles: allow user replacement of underlying date and time representations, to factor out calendar interfaces, building range and composite types, and providing interface constraint enforcement. GDTL Background I became interested in this several years ago while helping to implement date-time classes to support a satellite control system. The software performed extensive time calculations and had to manage details such as leap second tables. Some calculations, needed precision down to microseconds. Other parts of the system needed to store millions of date-times in a database (each day) with only second-level precision. So forcing microsecond resolution for all times unnecessarily bloated the size of the database. In the end, the project had more than one time library. Some good components, but a host of project realities kept us from getting everything into a single library. In addition, traditional object-oriented design techniques did not directly support the required variations.

Oregon & Washington i Welcome n early 2010, President Obama announced America’s Great Outdoors initiative Ito conserve our cherished lands and encourage Americans to enjoy the outdoors. And in this I’m reminded of William Shakespeare’s quote, “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” Throughout my years of experience, this great notion still rings true. I can attest that Americans have grown closer by the simple virtue of spending time together in nature. And it is on this note that I am thrilled to present our 2009 edition of BLM Facts. Between 96 pages of photos, maps, and detailed facts, I’m very pleased to highlight the diversity of the BLM’s multiple use mission. We serve the public lands by accomplishing what is perhaps the most extensive range of duties by any one agency. BLM foresters use scientific methods to plan for a sustainable growth of trees which also provide a healthy environment while still affording Americans homes, offices, and jobs. Our recreation planners and interpretive specialists present inspirational educational events and breathtaking locations for Americans to visit and create long-lasting memories. Resource specialists care for our special areas protected under the National Landscape Conservation System. Scientists at the BLM complete crucial research using the most current data to ensure we maintain these lands for future generations.

  • Utah's Geologic Timeline Utah Seed Standard 7.2.6: Make an Argument from Evidence for How the Geologic Time Scale Shows the Ag
    Utah’s Geologic Timeline Utah SEEd Standard 7.2.6: Make an argument from evidence for how the geologic time scale shows the age and history of Earth. Emphasize scientific evidence from rock strata, the fossil record, and the principles of relative dating, such as superposition, uniformitarianism, and recognizing unconformities. (ESS1.C) Activity Details: The students begin with a blank calendar and a list of events in the Earth’s, and additionally Utah’s, history. These events span billions of years, but such numbers are too large to visualize and compare. In order to help the mind understand such enormous lengths of time, the year of the event is scaled to what it would Be proportionate to a calendar year (numBers are from The Utah Geological Survey and Kentucky Geological Survey). The students go through the list and fill out their calendar to visualize the geologic timeline of the Earth and Utah, and then answer some analysis questions to help solidify their understanding. Students will need four differently-colored colored pencils or crayons to complete the activity. Background: The following information is taken from The Utah Geological Survey, written by Mark Milligan. It may Be helpful to define some of the terms with the students so they understand where and how ages come from. Geologists generally know the age of a rock By determining the age of the group of rocks, or formation, that it is found in. The age of formations is marked on a geologic calendar known as the geologic time scale. Development of the geologic time scale and dating of formations and rocks relies upon two fundamentally different ways of telling time: relative and absolute.

The course was to be an interdisciplinary, laboratory-based science and humanities seminar, designed to explore the nature, process, and methods of science and the place of science in society. Rather than mastering a body of information, students would learn a process of inquiry. The course integrated two existing syllabi that had already been approved for credit transfer to four-year institutions, "Introduction to Physical Science," and "Culture and Science in the Western Tradition." An interdisciplinary team of nine faculty, working with two external consultants, spent 5 months developing the philosophy, objectives, and structure of the course. During the first 4 weeks of the course, a physicist taught students about concepts of motion. For the second 4-week unit, a chemist taught about the nature of matter. During the third 4-week unit, a geologist introduced students to plate tectonics. During each of the 4-week units, a historian related scientific concepts in their historical, economic, and cultural context.
