Most immediately we have to thank Sandra Bürden at the Resources Centre, who assembles the pages on her computer and who is to thank for much of the fine detail of the magazine's final appearance: I am hugely indebted to her for her energy, initiative and attention to detail. Earlier in the chain stand the section editors, whose job is to round up copy and pictures for their sections and devise the running order and general page layouts for that section. They also have to go in for a good deal of rewriting: prolixity must be trimmed, irrelevance eliminated, errors put right and facetiousness filtered out. To be a good editor requires not only a good ear for language and a high level of compétence in written English: it also calls for patience and good humour in the actual pursuit of material. Mirabile dictu, it sometimes happens that contributors to the magazine are strong on promises but weak on performance. This year's editors have been terrifie. Their names appear on the previous page: every man jack of them has taken his responsibilities seriously and remained unflustered by the tardiness, bizarre accidents and (sometimes) outright évasion which have met their increasingly pressing calls for "that article you said you'd write". Gentlemen, you have done well, and I am most grateful. But at the beginning of the process lie the rest of you: ail those who have written about (or photographed) the astonishing diversity of activity at King Edward's School which no League Table registers but which makes this school what it is. In thèse pages you will find the heart and soul of the place: the teams; the plays and concerts; the expéditions at home and abroad; the CCF; the debating and the chess and the historical re-enaetment; the societies and the writing and the art. Among my special favourites this year isTom Cadigan's awe-inspiring account of Royal Marine training: the article as originally written is almost twice as long as we have had the space to print, but even what is here is one of this year's "must read" pièces. And there is so much more of similar high quality. If KES needs an advertisement, what better advertisement could there be than the contents of Chronicle? Finally, the usuai (but still heartfelt) thanks to Bradley Spencer for the Pictures section and for supervising the production of cover and banner art. Thanks to Chris Boardman for his photographie skills, and to the various colleagues in the Modem Language and Classics departments who were so obliging about proofreading articles in languages other than English. Thanks to David Ash and Catherine Tudor for their help in procuring specific photographs, and to Martin Stead for preparing the Cricket summary. And, again, thanks to ail of you who wrote for this year's Chronicle.

    LUNAR TOPOGRAPHIC ORTHOPHOTOMAP (LTO) AND LUNAR ORTHOPHOTMAP (LO) SERIES (Published by DMATC) Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Scale: 1:250,000 Projection: Transverse Mercator Sheet Size: 25.5”x 26.5” The Lunar Topographic Orthophotmaps and Lunar Orthophotomaps Series are the first comprehensive and continuous mapping to be accomplished from Apollo Mission 15-17 mapping photographs. This series is also the first major effort to apply recent advances in orthophotography to lunar mapping. Presently developed maps of this series were designed to support initial lunar scientific investigations primarily employing results of Apollo Mission 15-17 data. Individual maps of this series cover 4 degrees of lunar latitude and 5 degrees of lunar longitude consisting of 1/16 of the area of a 1:1,000,000 scale Lunar Astronautical Chart (LAC) (Section 4.2.1). Their apha-numeric identification (example – LTO38B1) consists of the designator LTO for topographic orthophoto editions or LO for orthophoto editions followed by the LAC number in which they fall, followed by an A, B, C or D designator defining the pertinent LAC quadrant and a 1, 2, 3, or 4 designator defining the specific sub-quadrant actually covered. The following designation (250) identifies the sheets as being at 1:250,000 scale. The LTO editions display 100-meter contours, 50-meter supplemental contours and spot elevations in a red overprint to the base, which is lithographed in black and white. LO editions are identical except that all relief information is omitted and selenographic graticule is restricted to border ticks, presenting an umencumbered view of lunar features imaged by the photographic base.

  • Viscosity from Newton to Modern Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
    Viscosity from Newton to Modern Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics S´ebastien Viscardy Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy, 3, Avenue Circulaire, B-1180 Brussels, Belgium Abstract In the second half of the 19th century, the kinetic theory of gases has probably raised one of the most impassioned de- bates in the history of science. The so-called reversibility paradox around which intense polemics occurred reveals the apparent incompatibility between the microscopic and macroscopic levels. While classical mechanics describes the motionof bodies such as atoms and moleculesby means of time reversible equations, thermodynamics emphasizes the irreversible character of macroscopic phenomena such as viscosity. Aiming at reconciling both levels of description, Boltzmann proposed a probabilistic explanation. Nevertheless, such an interpretation has not totally convinced gen- erations of physicists, so that this question has constantly animated the scientific community since his seminal work. In this context, an important breakthrough in dynamical systems theory has shown that the hypothesis of microscopic chaos played a key role and provided a dynamical interpretation of the emergence of irreversibility. Using viscosity as a leading concept, we sketch the historical development of the concepts related to this fundamental issue up to recent advances. Following the analysis of the Liouville equation introducing the concept of Pollicott-Ruelle resonances, two successful approaches — the escape-rate formalism and the hydrodynamic-mode method — establish remarkable relationships between transport processes and chaotic properties of the underlying Hamiltonian dynamics. Keywords: statistical mechanics, viscosity, reversibility paradox, chaos, dynamical systems theory Contents 1 Introduction 2 2 Irreversibility 3 2.1 Mechanics. Energyconservationand reversibility . ........................ 3 2.2 Thermodynamics.

A theoretical analysis is made of the dispersion of surface magnetostatic waves ~SMSWs! at different frequencies propagating in ferrite–insulator–metal ~FIM! structures magnetized by a uniform magnetic field. It is established that depending on the ratio between the thicknesses of the ferrite and insulating layers in FIM structures, backward SMSWs exist in different frequency ranges and have different wave numbers and directions of propagation.

The meeting continues a series of biennial conferences, which was started in Durham, UK, in 1983. The latest conferences were held in Niagara Falls (2003), Warsaw (2005), and Jeju Island (2007). The Conference is organized by the Ioffe Physical Technical Institute of RAS, one of the leading research centers in the world in the field of semiconductor physics and technology. It is famous for numerous discoveries in the field, including pioneering studies of excitonic properties of II-VI compounds. The purpose of the current II-VI compound Conference is to bring together scientists from all over the world, which are active in the fields of basic and applied research of II-VI structures. The Conference Program reflects a revival of interest in the recent years to this group of materials due to the emergence of many fascinating ideas and prospects as well as the development of new technologies.
