National Associates of the National Academies NATIONAL ASSOCIATES OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES The National Associates Program At its meeting on February 7, 2001, the Council of the National Academy of Sciences initiated a new “National Associates” program to recognize extraordinary contributions to the National Research Council through pro-bono service to National Research Council and Institute of Medicine programs. Many dedicated individuals serve on study and oversight committees of the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine without compensation. In fact, 5,908 individuals were members of one or more of the 574 committees active in the year 2007. In addition, approximately 1,500 individuals served as reviewers of one or more reports that year. This service is highly valued, honored, and appreciated both within the National Academies and by the nation. Our work in advising government and the public on matters of science, technology, and health would not be possible without this dedicated commitment of experts to provide the nation with their wisdom and advice. The purpose of the National Associates designation is to formally recognize the extraordinary service of 903 of these individuals listed in this booklet as National Associates of the National Research Council of the National Academies. The NRC Chair designates individuals for this special honor under guidelines established by the NRC Governing Board. Membership in the Associates is for life, recognizing past service, and new designations will be made annually. September 2008 Mark R. Abbott Oregon State University Corvallis, OR H.

KENNET H FOWLER FTER A DISTINGUISHED CAREER OF SERVICe in academia, govern- Ament, and industry, Guy Stever died on April 9, 2010, at his home in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He was 9. During 1965-1976, he served as president of Carnegie Tech, then Carnegie-Mellon University; director of the National Science Foundation; and science adviser to Presidents Nixon and Ford. He was a member of Section 1 of the National Academy of Sciences, elected in 197, having already been elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1965. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1991. I knew Guy best when I served with him on the Fusion Policy Advisory Committee of 1990, which played an important role in enabling Princeton finally to conduct experiments with tritium that yielded the first definitive demonstration of controlled fusion power, in 199. Guy was chair, a frequent role for him after his years in the White House. Just the year before, in 1989, he had completed a far more difficult assignment as chair of a panel overseeing booster-rocket redesign following the Challenger disaster.

  • 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.

  • Hugh L. Dryden's Career in Aviation and Space
    MONOGRAPHS IN AREROSPACE HISTORY #5 Hugh Dryden's Career Hugh L. Dryden's Career in Aviation and Space by Michael H. Gorn NASA History Office Code ZH NASA Headquarters Washington, DC 20546 Monographs in Aerospace History Number 5 1996 Hugh Dryden's Career Foreword This account of the life of Dr. Hugh Latimer Dryden is especially appropriate now. The NASA Hugh L. Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) was named in his honor exactly 20 years ago. This year we also celebrate 50 years of flight research here. It is fitting that people associated with the Center, with NASA as a whole, and those outside of NASA who are interested in the history of aviation and space, be reminded of Hugh Dryden’s enormous contributions. Hugh Dryden was a research scientist of the highest order, an aeronautics pioneer, the Director of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), and then the first NASA Deputy Administra- tor. Dr. Hugh Dryden’s special relationship to the Dryden Flight Research Center goes far beyond its name. Among Hugh Dryden’s first actions after becoming the NACA’s Director of Research in September 1947, was to inform Walt Williams, the director of the flight research operation here in the desert, that the NACA Muroc organization, formed the previous year, would now become a permanent facility known as the NACA Muroc Flight Test Unit. Hugh Dryden strongly supported the flight research conducted here with the early rocket-powered aircraft. He represented the NACA on the interagency Research Airplane Committee that supervised the beginnings of the critically important X-15 research at the High Speed Flight Station.

    1 May 7, 2011 Administrator Lisa Jackson United States Environmental Protection Agency Ariel Rios Building 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W. Mail Code: 1101A Washington, DC 20460 Re: Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0541, Petition to Suspend and Cancel All Registrations for the Soil Fumigant Iodomethane (Methyl Iodide) Dear Administrator Jackson, We are pleased to see that US EPA has decided to reconsider the registration of methyl iodide for its use as a soil fumigant pesticide. We remain concerned about the wisdom of widespread dispersion of methyl iodide into the environment and support the petition to cancel all uses of this chemical as a pesticide. It is one of the more hazardous chemicals used in research labs and in the chemical industry, and it seems counterintuitive that EPA would work on one hand to prevent and document relatively small releases of methyl iodide used in research and chemical manufacturing, while permitting what will likely be millions of pounds to be used annually in agriculture near homes, schools and workplaces. In our letter to EPA of September 24, 2007, (which we sent a copy of to you in February of 2009), we strongly recommended that EPA not register methyl iodide, but if the Agency chose to do so, we recommended that US EPA obtain an external scientific peer review of the risk assessment. While EPA did not commission such a review, the state of California has conducted its own risk assessment and did commission a Scientific Review Committee (SRC) to evaluate US EPA’s and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation’s (DPR’s) risk assessments.

  • Dr. Florence P. Haseltine, Ph.D., M.D. Activities of the Foundation While Bringing Recognition to a Worthy Woman in Medicine
    The Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine The 14th Annual The Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine, established in 1998, was founded on the belief that knowing the historical past is a powerful force in shaping Alma Dea Morani, M.D. the future. Though relatively young, The Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine has made significant accomplishments in promoting the history of Renaissance Woman Award women in medicine. The Alma Dea Morani Award continues to provide an annual centerpiece to the Dr. Florence P. Haseltine, Ph.D., M.D. activities of The Foundation while bringing recognition to a worthy woman in medicine. This year we honor Florence P. Haseltine, Ph.D., M.D., Emerita Director, Center for Population Research at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Public Health (NICHD) of the National Institutes of Health. The Foundation’s Research Fellowships, offered in conjunction with the The Archives for Women in Medicine (AWM) at Countway Library’s Center for the History of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, continue to be competitive. The 2013 recipient, Dr. Ciara Breathnach, lectures in history and has published on Irish socio-economic and health histories in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her research focuses on how the poor experienced, engaged with and negotiated medical services in Ireland and in North America from 1860-1912. Dr. Breathnach’s focused study of record of the migratory waves against trends in medical and social modernity processes, are held at the Archives for Women in Medicine at the Countway Library and will be weighed against other socio-economic evidence to establish how problematic groups such as the Irish poor affected and shaped medical care in Boston.

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.

Mark was hired during my first year of graduate school, and it has been my pleasure and privilege to be his first graduate student. He long granted me a measure of credit and respect that has helped me to develop confidence in myself as a scholar, while, at the same time, providing incisive criticism and invaluable suggestions that improved the quality of my work and helped me to greatly expand its scope. My committee members, Sally Gregory Kohlstedt, Susan Jones, Ken Waters, and George Weiblen all provided valuable insights into my dissertation, which will help me to further develop my own work in the future. Susan has given me useful advice on teaching and grant applications at pivotal points in my graduate career. Sally served as my advisor when I first entered graduate school and has continued as my mentor, reading nearly as much of my work as my own advisor. She never fails to be responsive, thoughtful, and generous with her attention and assistance. My fellow graduate students at Minnesota, both past and present, have been a huge source of encouragement, academic support, and fun. Even after I moved away from Minneapolis, I continued to feel a part of this lively and cohesive group of colleagues.

  • Imagine and Reimagine Siglat Zetouni/ Chicago Life Magazine/ Winter 2016
    Imagine and Reimagine Siglat Zetouni/ Chicago Life Magazine/ Winter 2016 Dr. George Bugliarello (1927-2011) was born in Trieste, Italy, and studied engineering at the University of Padua. He graduated in 1951, and thereafter came to the United States on a Fulbright scholarship. In 1959, he received his doctorate in civil engineering and hydrodynamics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1969-1973, Dr. Bugliarello served as Dean of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and later relocated to New York to work at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. The Polytechnic, a private engineering institute, was established in 1854, and is the second-oldest private engineering school in the United States. In the early 1970s, the financially troubled Polytechnic merged with New York University (currently known as NYU-Poly,) where Dr. Bugliarello served as president until 1994. Dr. Bugliarello was a visionary. He created a computer language for hydrology known as “Hydro,” a language with commands and data format specifically geared to the field of water resources, devising effective means of analyzing and controlling water resources problems. He founded the journal “Technology and Society,” and in 1975 he proposed an urban research park for business and education in Brooklyn. Hence, in the late 1980s, construction of MetroTech Commons, a development of 4.7 million square feet began with the Bern Dibner Library for Science & Technology that opened in 1992, and ended with the final building, 12 MetroTech, that was completed in 2004. Dr. Bugliarello’s vision was significant in the transformation of downtown Brooklyn from an area of violence and poverty to a dynamic center of commercial, technological, and academic activity.

  • 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.
