And it was indeed a fortunate coincidence that the ninth session of the WMO Executive Committee – known today as the WMO Executive Council (EC) – was in progress precisely at this moment, for the EC members were very quick to realize that satellite technology held the promise to expand the volume of meteorological data and to fill the notable gaps where land-based observations were not readily available.

Most of the previous estimates are based on the comparison between observed and simulated Lyman-α forest. We present the results of an independent method to constrain the product of the UVB photoion- isation rate and the covering fraction of Lyman limit systems (LLSs) by searching for the fluorescent Lyman-α emission produced by self-shielded clouds.

  • "A Wind of Such Violence / Will Tolerate No Bystanding": Sylvia Plath, Ariel, and Mental Illness
    Plath Profiles 169 "A wind of such violence / Will tolerate no bystanding": Sylvia Plath, Ariel, and Mental Illness Matthew Cronin According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a publication regulated by the American Psychiatric Association, at least five of the following symptoms must be regularly active in a patient in order for them to be diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder: a depressed mood (particularly in the morning), fatigue or loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness and/or guilt, impaired concentration, insomnia and/or hyposomnia, markedly diminished interest or pleasure in activities, recurring thoughts of death and/or suicide, a sense or restlessness or being slowed down, and significant weight loss or weight gain (webMD.com). Whether a patient decides to receive treatment or not, it is unarguable that this disorder is a life-altering condition; one either becomes consumed with their overwhelming, negative mental experiences or they become tediously occupied by maintaining an appropriate pharmaceutical regime. The legendary American poetess, Sylvia Plath, suffered from this diagnosis; at age thirty she would commit suicide in her London, England home. There is no doubt that a life-long battle with depression was a paramount cause of the writer's death; those who are unaffected by depression do not typically possess the mental capability it takes to go through with killing themselves. Even those who do suffer from depression and/or suicidal tendencies do not truly have the desire to die, but rather the desire to end their feelings of hurt and deterioration (Smith, Segal, Robinson). But what implications did Plath's depression have on her creative process and on her poetry? Literary and psychoanalytical studies have shown a direct correlation between Plath's use of precise, intentional structure, bold, grotesque imagery, and consistent, unique voice and her mental instability; this is especially evident in her final collection Ariel.

Kinney, Diana Khachadourian, Pamela S. Millar and Colleen N. Hartman I N M EMORIAM Dr. Beth A. Brown 1969-2008 i D e d i c a t i o n Dedication to Beth Brown Fallen Star Howard E. Kea, NASA/GSFC She lit up a room with her wonderful smile; she made everyone in her presence feel that they were important. On October 5, 2008 one of our rising stars in astronomy had fallen. Dr. Beth Brown was an Astrophysicist in the Science and Exploration Directorate at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Beth was always fascinated by space: she grew up watching Star Trek and Star Wars, which motivated her to become an astronaut. However, her eyesight prevented her from being eligible for astronaut training, which led to her pursuing the stars through astronomy. Beth pursued her study of the stars more seriously at Howard University where she majored in physics and astronomy. Upon learning that her nearsightedness would limit her chances of becoming an astronaut, Beth’s love for astronomy continued to grow and she graduated summa cum laude from Howard University. Beth continued her education at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. There she received a Master’s Degree in Astronomy in 1994 on elliptical galaxies and she obtained her Ph.D.
