  • How Doc Draper Became the Father of Inertial Guidance
    (Preprint) AAS 18-121 HOW DOC DRAPER BECAME THE FATHER OF INERTIAL GUIDANCE Philip D. Hattis* With Missouri roots, a Stanford Psychology degree, and a variety of MIT de- grees, Charles Stark “Doc” Draper formulated the basis for reliable and accurate gyro-based sensing technology that enabled the first and many subsequent iner- tial navigation systems. Working with colleagues and students, he created an Instrumentation Laboratory that developed bombsights that changed the balance of World War II in the Pacific. His engineering teams then went on to develop ever smaller and more accurate inertial navigation for aircraft, submarines, stra- tegic missiles, and spaceflight. The resulting inertial navigation systems enable national security, took humans to the Moon, and continue to find new applica- tions. This paper discusses the history of Draper’s path to becoming known as the “Father of Inertial Guidance.” FROM DRAPER’S MISSOURI ROOTS TO MIT ENGINEERING Charles Stark Draper was born in 1901 in Windsor Missouri. His father was a dentist and his mother (nee Stark) was a school teacher. The Stark family developed the Stark apple that was popular in the Midwest and raised the family to prominence1 including a cousin, Lloyd Stark, who became governor of Missouri in 1937. Draper was known to his family and friends as Stark (Figure 1), and later in life was known by colleagues as Doc. During his teenage years, Draper enjoyed tinkering with automobiles. He also worked as an electric linesman (Figure 2), and at age 15 began a liberal arts education at the University of Mis- souri in Rolla.

Overall autonomous operation was managed on-board by a small general purpose digital computer configured by its designer, Dr. Raymond Alonso, for very low power drain except at the occasional times needing fast computation speed. A special feature of this computer was the pre-wired, read-only memory called a core rope, a configuration of particularly high storage density requiring only one magnetic core per word of memory. A four volume report of this work was published in July, 1959, and presented to the Air Force Sponsors. However, since the Air Force was disengaging from civilian space development, endeavors to interest NASA were undertaken. Dr. H. Guyford Stever, then an MIT professor, arranged a presentation with Dr. Hugh Dryden, NASA Deputy Administrator, which took place on September 15.* On November 10, NASA sent a letter of in- tent to contract the Instrumentation Laboratory for a $50,000 study to start immediately. The stated purpose was that this study would con- c tribute to the efforts of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in conducting unmanned space missions to Mars, Venus, and the Earth's moon scheduled in Vega and Centaur missions in the next few years. A relationship be- tween MIT and JPL did not evolve. JPL's approach to these deep space missions involved close ground base control with their large antenna tracking and telemetry systems, considerably different from the on- board self sufficiency method which the MIT group advocated and could best support.

  • New Issues in Genetic Counseling of Hereditary Colon Cancer Patrick M
    New Issues in Genetic Counseling of Hereditary Colon Cancer Patrick M. Lynch Abstract Clinicians face significant challenges in the diagnosis and management of familial colorectal cancer predisposition. Many of the challenges concern the rarity of individual conditions and their unfamiliarity to most clinicians, even those in the subspecialty areas of gastroenterology, colorec- tal surgery, and medical oncology. Because the World Wide Web now offers a wealth of informa- tion, familiarity with available online resources should be a minimal expectation of clinicians. Notably, these same resources are available to the lay public, so a more informed group of patients can be expected and is already being encountered.The web sites noted throughout this article are merely early examples of what should become an opportunity for instant access to the most up-to-date knowledge of rare familial colorectal cancers and their clinical features, molecular diagnostics, and clinical management and prevention. Many professional organizations have pro- duced guidelines (in print and online) for use by practitioners in various specialties.The consisten- cy, growing evidence base, and ready availability of these guidelines to providers and patients alike will likely foster greater recognition of the need to be in compliance with them. Finally, as investigators make progress with the genetics of these rare diseases, one can anticipate a ‘‘coop- erative group’’approach to clinical trials. Identification of inherited susceptibility to colon cancer is now protein expression, which is followed by mutational testing readily possible, with genes identified for familial adenomatous when MSI and/or immunohistochemical screens are informa- polyposis (FAP) and its variants (1–3), hereditary nonpoly- tive.

  • Supplementary Figure 1: Interconnected Multiplex with Six Nodes in Two Layers (A and D) and Corresponding Aggregated Networks (B and E)
    Supplementary Figure 1: Interconnected multiplex with six nodes in two layers (A and D) and corresponding aggregated networks (B and E). The nodes are ranked by their eigenvector centrality in each layer separately, in the aggregated and in the whole interconnected structure (C and F). Case A, B and C. Nodes 1 and 3 have a key role in the multilayer, being bridges between the two layers. In a collaboration network they would represent scientists working on two different research areas who allow information to flow from one subject to the other. While nodes 1 and 3 gain centrality from their connections to \hubs" on different layers, they also gain centrality from their own counterparts in other layers, making them important in the multilayer network. In the aggregated network their versatility disappears, because the information is washed out by projecting on a single layer, where nodes 2 and 6 are still \hubs" but it is not possible to capture the importance of nodes 1 and 3 in bridging different areas. Case D, E and F. This example shows how aggregating the full information on a single network introduces a spurious symmetry between nodes 2, 3, 4 and 6 that is not present in the multilayer, except for 2 and 4. The resulting score in the aggregate is not able to capture the difference between these nodes (corresponding to a degeneration in the eigenspace) while it is evident that, for instance, node 6 is more central than node 3 because of its direct connection to node 1 { the \hub" { in layer 1.

OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRST PROOF, 3/8/2018, SPi Preface As the field of complex networks entered its maturity phase, most scientists working in this field thought that the established methodology could deal with all casesof networked systems. However, as is usually the case in the scientific enterprise, some novel observations showed that what we already know is only a limited case, and network theory has still long way to go until we can make any definitive claim. The ever-increasing availability of data in fields ranging from computer science to urban systems, medicine, economics, and finance showed that networks that were usually perceived as distinct and isolated are, in reality, interacting with other networks. While this sounds like a trivial observation, it was shown that interactions of different networks can lead to unexpected behaviors and allow systemic vulnerabilities to emerge.
