D. University of Pittsburgh, 2014 This study provides an account of how a rhetoric of bioterrorism developed and investigates its consequences. Currently, two competing ways of talking about bioterror, the skeptical and the paranoid, have been obscured because biosecurity researchers infrequently consider how particular historical and imagined events come to be defined as examples of bioterrorism. These rhetorical styles and their associated attitudes responded to a recurring problem in the history of biothreats – that there is rarely enough evidence to give clear accounts of the presence and origin of particular threats. As a result, conjectures become part of a unified history of bioterror, washing out the actual complexity of describing these rare events.

At Stanford University this period was characterized by controversy, deep divisions within the university community, disruption of classes, student strikes, and the presence of uniformed police on campus. In this environment of turbulence and violence, a major decision vas reached to remove ROTC from Stanford. It was a decision that raised questions concerning the legitimacy of the governing role of the board of trustees, the president, the faculty and the students. It caused a crisis in the decision-Raking process and an altering of the power structure of the university. It extended beyond the single topic of ROTC, beyond the question of legitimate authority, to include such matters as the ethics of classified research, rivalry between academic disciplines, and the very fundamental question of acadesic freedom.

  • Chapter Four Making Light of the Light Elements
    Chapter Four Making Light of the Light Elements Although itself a significant technical obstacle to the H-bomb project, Los Alamos found computing as only one of several critical problems. Other problems arose, as well, and weapons scientists acknowledged them at various times. Von Neumann, Teller, Wheeler and others early on established computing as a technical problem that stood in the way of understanding the Super configuration’s feasibility. Nuclear materials were also a bottleneck to the hydrogen weapon program, yet Los Alamos’s scientists recognized this problem later than they had the computing obstacle. Tritium in particular, from the time Konopinski had suggested incorporating this isotope into the Super theory, was a latent obstacle to the H-bomb program. After the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic weapon in 1949 tritium scientists began to view tritium as a serious critical problem facing the American thermonuclear project. Although the Russian A-bomb test represented in the United States a political event outside of the AEC technological system -- this event nevertheless forced both scientists and policymakers to reconsider the AEC’s pace and the intensity of nuclear weapons research. Only then the Commission called its materials production facilities into question. After President Truman instructed the AEC to explore further the hydrogen weapon in 1950, and when Ulam and his colleague’s calculations began to 174 show the ignition problems facing the Super, the tritium problem became blatant. Consequently, the Committee for Weapon Development demonstrate with reasonable certainty that the 1945-1946 ENIAC calculations were wrong. In 1949 the AEC found itself unprepared to begin a program of large- scale tritium production in part because its predecessor, the MED, had not constructed any facilities specifically for this purpose.

  • The LPI Celebrates 40 Years!
    TThehe LPILPI CelebratesCelebrates 4040 Years!Years! — Renee Dotson, LPI Staff Writer This year, the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) is proud to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Since its inception, the Institute has focused its efforts on cultivating and supporting a community of scientists who lead interdisciplinary research efforts, and remains strongly committed to its service role for the science community and the public. While we look toward the future, we also recognize our past, and would like to take this opportunity to revisit some of the people and events that have shaped the course of the Institute’s history. The idea for the Institute was actually conceived in the mid-1960s. As NASA was aggressively working toward the goal of realizing President John F. Kennedy’s desire to land a man on the Moon by the end of the decade, NASA Administrator James Webb recognized the need to actively engage the academic community in its efforts. At Webb’s request, Dr. Frederick Seitz, President of the National Academy of Science (NAS), met with representatives of 49 universities to establish a Committee on NASA/University Relations. In July 1967, this Committee began to meet under the chairmanship of Dr. Kenneth Pitzer, President of Rice University, and the concept of a Lunar Science Institute developed out of frequent exchanges between NAS and NASA. On March 1, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson visited the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) in Houston, Texas (now the Johnson Space Center). After thanking and congratulating the men and women of MSC for the work they were carrying forward, Johnson made the following pronouncement: LWe are close to a landing on the Moon.

  • Oral History of Edward S. Davidson (1939-‐ )
    Oral history of Edward S. Davidson (1939- ) Interviewed by Prof. Paul N. Edwards, University of Michigan School of Information, at Davidson's home in Ann Arbor, Michigan June 17-18 and September 29, 2009 Edward S. Davidson is a computer engineer who pioneered pipelining techniques for improving processor throughput in both hardware and software. Techniques to which he contributed seminal ideas include simulated annealing, wave pipelining, multiple instruction stream pipelines, decoupled access-execute architecture, and polycyclic scheduling (aka software pipelining). Born in 1939, Davidson grew up in the greater Boston area. He saw his first computer on a high school math class field trip and "knew then and there" that he wanted to enter the field. Davidson received his bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University in 1961, having taken virtually all of the university's computer courses. He next attended the University of Michigan (1961-62). There he obtained an MS in the Communication Sciences program, which featured a broad intellectual range running from cybernetics and neuroscience to computing. Davidson worked for Honeywell as a logic design engineer from 1962-1965, acquiring considerable experience with circuit optimization. From 1965-1968 he attended the PhD program in Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). He then moved to Stanford University, where he served as an assistant professor from 1968-1973 and started a logic design laboratory. In 1973 he returned to UIUC, where he remained until 1987. During that period he worked in the Coordinated Science Laboratory (1973-1980), served as President of Illinois Computer Research, Inc.
