This “double issue” provides plenty to read during what is for many people the holiday season. The feature articles illustrate well the breadth of modern IceCube brings particle physics – from the Standard Model, which is still being tested in the analysis of data from Fermilab’s Tevatron, to the tantalizing hints of news from the deep extraterrestrial neutrinos from the IceCube Observatory at the South Pole. A connection of a different kind between space and particle physics emerges in the interview with the astronaut who started his postgraduate life at CERN, while connections between particle physics and everyday life come into focus in the application of particle detectors to the diagnosis of breast cancer. And if this is not enough, take a look at Summer Bookshelf, with its selection of suggestions for more relaxed reading.

  • New Broom in Burkina Faso?

    New Broom in Burkina Faso?

    alexandra reza NEW BROOM IN BURKINA FASO? n late october 2014, hundreds of thousands of people poured onto the streets of Burkina Faso, incensed by Blaise Compaoré’s bid to change the constitution and seek a fifth presidential term.1 Many of their placards displayed photographs of Thomas Sankara, ICompaoré’s revolutionary predecessor. Others simply read: ‘Blaise, Get Out.’ Pressure had been building all year among citizens of the impov- erished West African state, and by October the mood had hardened. Compaoré clung on, sometimes defiant, sometimes pleading: suggesting reforms, appealing for stability, issuing reminders about the importance of the rule of law. The protests continued nonetheless. Police lined the streets. Many demonstrators were injured; at least thirty were killed. A group called Balai Citoyen (‘Citizens’ Broom’) played a key role in the protests. Balai was founded by prominent musicians: Smockey, a rapper, and the reggae artist Sams’K Le Jah, whose music helped to energize the mainly young crowd—60 per cent of Burkinabès are under 24. As well as Balai Citoyen, other social movements mobilized, among them the Mouvement Ça Suffit (‘That’s Enough’), along with trade unionists and established opposition politicians such as Zéphirin Diabré and Saran Sérémé, who had formerly been members of Compaoré’s ruling party. Sérémé and her colleague Juliette Kongo organized a major women’s protest in the capital Ouagadougou on 27 October. Thousands marched, holding wooden cooking spatulas and megaphones in the air. Eventually, on the 30th, a huge crowd—the opposition claimed it was a million strong—marched on the parliament building and breached its security cordon.

    61st International Astronautical Congress 2010 Paper ID: 7730 SPACE EDUCATION AND OUTREACH SYMPOSIUM (E1) TO BOLDLY GO - SPACE STATION EDUCATION AND OUTREACH (5) Author: Mr. Jochen Noll University of Stuttgart, Germany, [email protected] Dr. Stefan Belz University of Stuttgart, Germany, [email protected] Mr. Manuel Schmitz Germany, [email protected] Prof. Ernst Messerschmid University of Stuttgart, Germany, [email protected] EDUCATIONAL TRAINING ON SPACECRAFT OPERATIONS IN A SOYUZ MOCK-UP SIMULATOR Abstract The Institute for Space System (IRS) at the University of Stuttgart is offering hands-on experience for students in the field of aerospace engineering with tutorial and training in a space flight simulator. In addition to the theoretical knowledge given in lectures the students can gain practical experience and develop a better understanding of spacecraft operations in a simulated space environment. Furthermore, the intrinsic motivation of students is activated by individual flight lessons in a mock-up model emulating a Soyuz-TMA spacecraft. The training comprises of theoretical lessons followed by intensive practical sessions guided by an instructor, supplemented with free training hours for each trainee. The candidates are introduced with basic manoeuvres at the beginning of the course up to complex mission scenarios toward the end of the course. The training performance of each candidate is monitored and evaluated to provide a progress feedback in a final debriefing session. The initial software, purchased from the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in 2007, was used for the training of rendezvous and docking operations be- tween the Soyuz spacecraft and the International Space Station.

    Universität Stuttgart Fakultät Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik und Geodäsie newsletter 01 01 - 2014 news Sonderforschungsbereich geht in die zweite Runde Zum Anfang des Jahres 2014 ist der Sonderforschungsbereich Transregio 75 "Tropfendynami- sche Prozesse unter extremen Umgebungsbedingungen" in seine zweite Förderperiode gestar- tet. In diesem 2010 eingerichteten SFB arbeiten rund 60 Mitarbeiter an den Standorten Stuttgart, Darmstadt sowie dem DLR Lampoldshausen mit. Im Rahmen der Verlängerung wurden drei zusätzliche Teilprojekte, eines davon an der Universität Stuttgart, in den Forschungsverbund auf- genommen. Am Standort Stuttgart sind das VISUS (Prof. Ertl), das IAG (Prof. Munz), das IANS (Prof. Rohde), das ITT (Prof. Groß), das ITV (Prof. Kronenburg) sowie das ITLR (Prof. Weigand) beteiligt. Tropfen spielen in vielen Bereichen der Natur und der Technik eine zentrale Rolle. Beispiele aus der Natur sind Regen, Wolken oder Nebel. Im Hinblick auf technische Prozesse ist die Verdampfung von Tropfen in Kraftstoffsprays bei der Verbrennung in Kraftfahrzeugmotoren oder Flugtriebwerken zu nen- nen. Viele dieser Prozesse laufen unter extremen Umgebungsbedingungen ab, z. B. hohem Druck, extremen Temperaturen oder in starken elektrischen Feldern. Im Rahmen des Sonderforschungsbereichs versuchen die Wissenschaftler, ein vertieftes phy- sikalisches Verständnis derartiger Vorgänge zu ge- winnen. Dieses ist entscheidend für die Voraussage natürlicher Prozesse sowie die Optimierung techni- scher Systeme. Eine weitere Herausforderung des Forschungsgebietes

The Director-General noted, in particular, the multisectoral nature of food security which would require the participation of the ministerial departments involved in solving the challenges to agricultural development and food security. He reaffirmed FAO’s willingness to assist the Government in finalizing the NPFS document, mobilizing donors and organizing a round table for donors.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Launched in March 2012, the African Peacebuilding Network (APN) supports independent African research on conflict-affected countries and neighboring regions of the continent, as well as the integration of high-quality African research-based knowledge into global policy communities. In order to advance African debates on peacebuilding and promote African perspectives, the APN offers competitive research grants and fellowships, and it funds other forms of targeted support, including strategy meetings, seminars, grantee workshops, commissioned studies, and the publication and dissemination of research findings. In doing so, the APN also promotes the visibility of African peacebuilding knowledge among global and regional centers of scholarly analysis and practical action and makes it accessible to key policymakers at the United Nations and other multilateral, regional, and national policymaking institutions. ABOUT THE SERIES “African solutions to African problems” is a favorite mantra of the African Union, but since the 2002 establishment of the African Peace and Security Architecture, the continent has continued to face political, material, and knowledge-related challenges to building sustainable peace.
