Summaries of published literature on the theory and ABSTRACT applications of transition, or change management, and the results of interviews with additional industry personnel whose organizations either have gone through or are now going through change are contained. The issues of flight rates and the flight decision are addressed. The use of a computer simulation model to analyze the effect of varying different parameters on the flight rate was also discussed. The issue of NASA's changing demographics was examined and why this may be a cause for concern. The impact of the whole shuttle system structure on the Challenger accident was presented along with the highlights of the Rogers Commission Report. The proposed reorganization of the NSTS management structure is discussed and how this transition from R/D to operations can be performed. B.G.

    History of Science Society Annual Meeting San Diego, California 15-18 November 2012 Session Abstracts Alphabetized by Session Title. Abstracts only available for organized sessions. Agricultural Sciences in Modern East Asia Abstract: Agriculture has more significance than the production of capital along. The cultivation of rice by men and the weaving of silk by women have been long regarded as the two foundational pillars of the civilization. However, agricultural activities in East Asia, having been built around such iconic relationships, came under great questioning and processes of negation during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as people began to embrace Western science and technology in order to survive. And yet, amongst many sub-disciplines of science and technology, a particular vein of agricultural science emerged out of technological and scientific practices of agriculture in ways that were integral to East Asian governance and political economy. What did it mean for indigenous people to learn and practice new agricultural sciences in their respective contexts? With this border-crossing theme, this panel seeks to identify and question the commonalities and differences in the political complication of agricultural sciences in modern East Asia. Lavelle’s paper explores that agricultural experimentation practiced by Qing agrarian scholars circulated new ideas to wider audience, regardless of literacy. Onaga’s paper traces Japanese sericultural scientists who adapted hybridization science to the Japanese context at the turn of the twentieth century. Lee’s paper investigates Chinese agricultural scientists’ efforts to deal with the question of rice quality in the 1930s. American Motherhood at the Intersection of Nature and Science, 1945-1975 Abstract: This panel explores how scientific and popular ideas about “the natural” and motherhood have impacted the construction and experience of maternal identities and practices in 20th century America.

  • Multi-Instrument Space-Borne Observations and Validation of the Physical Model of the Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere-Magnetosphere Coupling
    Multi-instrument space-borne observations and validation of the physical model of the Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere-Magnetosphere Coupling Abstract We propose an investigation of the near-Earth space plasma dynamics and electromagnetic environment by multiparameter analysis from variety of space-based missions and creation of physical model of the coupling between lithosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere which are linked by the chain of processes initiated by atmospheric boundary layer modification by air pollution (dust aerosols, nuclear disaster) and modification of boundary layer by major natural disasters: earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes/typhoons and volcanoes. Our intention is to find from experimental data and their detailed analysis the key processes in atmosphere, which modify the Earth plasma environment system under various geophysical conditions including natural and anthropogenic disasters. As input for analysis and modeling we will use the data products about atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere from different satellites, including NASA EOS (TERRA, AQUA), NOAA/POES, and ESA/ EUMETSAT (METEOSAT, ENVISAT, SWARM), DEMETER/CNES, FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC, as well as ground observations of GPS/TEC, ground electromagnetic (EM) fields meteorological monitoring data, geochemistry, etc. Statistical studies that use these data sets individually have already proven the complex nature of the interconnection between lithosphere and atmosphere events and earth space environment through the Global Electric Circuit. Just recently the members of this team came independently to same conclusion that many processes in atmosphere of different origin create the similar variations in the space plasma environment what implies the existence of common physical mechanism of their generation. One of the main drivers for such coupling is the change of the boundary layer conductivity through the air pollution, Ion Induced Nucleation triggered by natural and anthropogenic radioactivity, and mesoscale atmospheric systems such as tropical hurricanes/typhoons.

Venus’s 1874 transit across the sun was seen as the best opportunity for ending decades of debate. However, a mysterious “black drop” that appeared between Venus and the sun and individual differences in observations of the phenomenon brought traditional methods into disrepute. To combat these difficulties, the astronomer Jules Janssen devised a controversial new instrument, the “photographic revolver,” that photographed Venus at regular intervals. Another solution came from phys- icists, who rivaled the astronomers’ dominance in precision measurements by deducing the solar parallax from physical measurements of the speed of light.

  • Vénus Les Transits De Vénus L’Exploration De Vénus Par Les Sondes Iconographie, Photos Et Additifs
    VVÉÉNUSNUS Introduction - Généralités Les caractéristiques de Vénus Les transits de Vénus L’exploration de Vénus par les sondes Iconographie, photos et additifs GAP 47 • Olivier Sabbagh • Février 2015 Vénus I Introduction – Généralités Vénus est la deuxième des huit planètes du Système solaire en partant du Soleil, et la sixième par masse ou par taille décroissantes. La planète Vénus a été baptisée du nom de la déesse Vénus de la mythologie romaine. Symbolisme La planète Vénus doit son nom à la déesse de l'amour et de la beauté dans la mythologie romaine, Vénus, qui a pour équivalent Aphrodite dans la mythologie grecque. Cythère étant une épiclèse homérique d'Aphrodite, l'adjectif « cythérien » ou « cythéréen » est parfois utilisé en astronomie (notamment dans astéroïde cythérocroiseur) ou en science-fiction (les Cythériens, une race de Star Trek). Par extension, on parle d'un Vénus à propos d'une très belle femme; de manière générale, il existe en français un lexique très développé mêlant Vénus au thème de l'amour ou du plaisir charnel. L'adjectif « vénusien » a remplacé « vénérien » qui a une connotation moderne péjorative, d'origine médicale. Les cultures chinoise, coréenne, japonaise et vietnamienne désignent Vénus sous le nom d'« étoile d'or », et utilisent les mêmes caractères (jīnxīng en hanyu, pinyin en hiragana, kinsei en romaji, geumseong en hangeul), selon la « théorie » des cinq éléments. Vénus était connue des civilisations mésoaméricaines; elle occupait une place importante dans leur conception du cosmos et du temps. Les Nahuas l'assimilaient au dieu Quetzalcoatl, et, plus précisément, à Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli (« étoile du matin »), dans sa phase ascendante et à Xolotl (« étoile du soir »), dans sa phase descendante.
