Recurring Slope Lineae: Evidence of Liquid Water on Mars Today?
Recurring Slope Lineae: Evidence of liquid water on Mars today? The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has monitored surface feature changes over several Mars years. One of the more intriguing observations has been of the seasonal occurrence of numerous (multi-thousand) dark streak features advancing down equator-facing slopes in several mid-latitude and equatorial regions of the southern hemisphere. Termed Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL), the streak behavior resembles that of a fluid mobilized by increasing surface temperatures – initiating in spring, incrementally extending downslope through summer, and then fading in the fall and winter seasons. The phenomenon is then seen to repeat the following spring. RSLs are narrow in width (meter-scale), requiring our best resolution imaging to see them, but may extend down-slope for hundreds of meters before terminating. Science teams involved in the discovery of RSL have been cautious in concluding a water-based origin since most of the RSL locations are found in environments well outside the pressure-temperature stability field for liquid water. However, the presence of salts such as perchlorate can depress freezing points by tens of degrees. MRO Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) observations of multiple RSL locations show hydrated mineral absorption signals most consistent with magnesium perchlorate, magnesium chlorate and sodium perchlorate. That raises the possibility of a Mg-, Na-, Cl-rich brine that would also leave these minerals as a kind of evaporite deposit. However, the amount of water, if present, has been constrained at one location by independent Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS; Mars Odyssey) data analysis and a numerical heat transfer model to 0 wt.%, and up to 3 wt.% given observational uncertainties, unlikely to support a sustained flow. -
PEAES Guide: Philadelphia Contributionship
PEAES Guide: Philadelphia Contributionship http://www.librarycompany.org/Economics/PEAESguide/contribution.htm Keyword Search Entire Guide View Resources by Institution Search Guide Institutions Surveyed - Select One Philadelphia Contributionship 212 South Fourth Street Philadelphia, PA 19106 (215) 627-1752 Contact Person: Carol Wojtowicz Smith, Curator/Archivist, [email protected] Overview: In 1752, Benjamin Franklin brought together a group of Philadelphians to create the first North American property insurance company. They met at the Widow Pratt's (The Royal Standard Tavern on Market Street), selected two surveyors, and laid down rules stipulating that at least one of them survey each house and write up reports that would be discussed by the entire Board, which would make decisions about the extent and rate of insurance. Franklin named the company The Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire. Already in 1736 he had helped to found Philadelphia's first fire brigade, the Union Fire Company. The Contributinship was a mutual insurance company that pooled risks. They based its method of operation (and name) on that of the Amicable Contributionship of London, founded in 1696. The new company was conservative in its underwriting, sending surveyors to inspect each building before insuring it. Accepted properties sported fire marks: four clasped gilded hands mounted on wood plaques. The actual cost of the survey was presumably deducted from the 10 shillings earnest money paid by every person insuring in the society. This also covered the costs of the policy and the "badge" or fire mark. Insurance at this time was limited to properties in Pennsylvania located within a ten mile radius from the center of Philadelphia. -

The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century
The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’s Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David W. Young Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Saul Cornell David Steigerwald Copyright by David W. Young 2009 Abstract This dissertation examines how public history and historic preservation have changed during the twentieth century by examining the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1683, Germantown is one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, with resonant landmarks related to the nation’s political, military, industrial, and cultural history. Efforts to preserve the historic sites of the neighborhood have resulted in the presence of fourteen historic sites and house museums, including sites owned by the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the City of Philadelphia. Germantown is also a neighborhood where many of the ills that came to beset many American cities in the twentieth century are easy to spot. The 2000 census showed that one quarter of its citizens live at or below the poverty line. Germantown High School recently made national headlines when students there attacked a popular teacher, causing severe injuries. Many businesses and landmark buildings now stand shuttered in community that no longer can draw on the manufacturing or retail economy it once did. Germantown’s twentieth century has seen remarkably creative approaches to contemporary problems using historic preservation at their core. -

SMPs are defined such that they would be suffi- ciently long-lived so as to still exist in the cosmos either as Big Bang relics or secondary collision products, and sufficiently massive such that they are typically beyond the reach of any conceiv- able accelerator-based experiment. The discovery of SMPs would address a number of important questions in modern physics, such as the origin and composition of dark matter and the unifi- cation of the fundamental forces. This review outlines the scenarios predicting SMPs and the techniques used at non-collider experiments to look for SMPs in cosmic rays and bound in mat- ter. The limits so far obtained on the fluxes and matter densities of SMPs which possess various detection-relevant properties such as electric and magnetic charge are given.
