  • The Argo Navis Constellation
    THE ARGO NAVIS CONSTELLATION At the last meeting we talked about the constellation around the South Pole, and how in the olden days there used to be a large ship there that has since been subdivided into the current constellations. I could not then recall the names of the constellations, but remembered that we talked about this subject at one of the early meetings, and now found it in September 2011. In line with my often stated definition of Astronomy, and how it seems to include virtually all the other Philosophy subjects: History, Science, Physics, Biology, Language, Cosmology and Mythology, lets go to mythology and re- tell the story behind the Argo Constellation. Argo Navis (or simply Argo) used to be a very large constellation in the southern sky. It represented the ship The Argo Navis ship with the Argonauts on board used by the Argonauts in Greek mythology who, in the years before the Trojan War, accompanied Jason to Colchis (modern day Georgia) in his quest to find the Golden Fleece. The ship was named after its builder, Argus. Argo is the only one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy that is no longer officially recognised as a constellation. In 1752, the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille subdivided it into Carina (the keel, or the hull, of the ship), Puppis (the poop deck), and Vela (the sails). The constellation Pyxis (the mariner's compass) occupies an area which in antiquity was considered part of Argo's mast (called Malus). The story goes that, when Jason was 20 years old, an oracle ordered him to head to the Iolcan court (modern city of Volos) where king Pelias was presiding over a sacrifice to Poseidon with several neighbouring kings in attendance.

  • Flowering and Fruiting in Cotton
    FLOWERING AND FRUITING IN COTTON NUMBER EIGHT THE COTTON FOUNDATION REFERENCE BOOK SERIES Edited by Derrick M. Oosterhuis and J. Tom Cothren FLOWERING AND FRUITING IN COTTON THE Cotton Foundation Reference Book Series The Cotton Foundation was created in 1955 to foster research and education for the cotton in- dustry. Supported by membership dues and grants from agribusiness firms, the Foundation plays an integral role in focusing attention to high priority needs. Foundation members include the world’s finest manufactures and suppliers of cotton machinery, plant health products, transgenic technologies, planting seed, testing instruments, processing materials; and consulting, financial and communications services The alliance of agribusiness and the cotton industry strengthens the ability of both to reach common objectives – enhance markets and profitability. Understanding that sales and service are ultimately linked to the vitality of the cotton industry, corporate suppliers support the Foun- dation with dues and special earmarked grants. The Foundation’s offices are located at the na- tional Cotton Council’s headquarters in Cordova, Tennessee. We are pleased to publish FLOWERING AND FRUITING IN COTTON, the eighth in the series of cotton reference books. The first volume, COTTON PHYSIOLOGY was published in 1986; the second, WEEDS OF COTTON: Characterization and Control was published in 1992; the third, COTTON INSECTS AND MITES: Characterizations and Management, was published in 1996; the fourth volume, VEGETABLE OILS AND AGROCHEMICALS became available in 1994; the fifth volume, COTTON HARVEST MANAGEMENT: Use and Influence of Harvest Aids and the sixth volume, BOLL WEEVIL ERADICATION IN THE UNITED STATES THROUGH 1999 published in 2001; and the seventh volume, STRESS PHYSIOLOGY IN COTTON published in 2011.

  • Checklist of the Washington Baltimore Area
    Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the Washington - Baltimore Area Part I Ferns, Fern Allies, Gymnosperms, and Dicotyledons by Stanwyn G. Shetler and Sylvia Stone Orli Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History 2000 Department of Botany, National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560-0166 ii iii PREFACE The better part of a century has elapsed since A. S. Hitchcock and Paul C. Standley published their succinct manual in 1919 for the identification of the vascular flora in the Washington, DC, area. A comparable new manual has long been needed. As with their work, such a manual should be produced through a collaborative effort of the region’s botanists and other experts. The Annotated Checklist is offered as a first step, in the hope that it will spark and facilitate that effort. In preparing this checklist, Shetler has been responsible for the taxonomy and nomenclature and Orli for the database. We have chosen to distribute the first part in preliminary form, so that it can be used, criticized, and revised while it is current and the second part (Monocotyledons) is still in progress. Additions, corrections, and comments are welcome. We hope that our checklist will stimulate a new wave of fieldwork to check on the current status of the local flora relative to what is reported here. When Part II is finished, the two parts will be combined into a single publication. We also maintain a Web site for the Flora of the Washington-Baltimore Area, and the database can be searched there (http://www.nmnh.si.edu/botany/projects/dcflora).

  • 1 Introduction and History
    i i David Clarke: Stellar Polarimetry — Chap. clarke8955c01 — 2009/9/17 — 15:59 — page 3 — le-tex i i 3 1 Introduction and History 1.1 General History Stellar polarimetry appeared as a green shoot in astrophysical diagnostic practice some 60 years ago. Following the early nineteenth-century discoveries of polari- metric phenomena in the physics and chemistry laboratories, and the establish- ment of the understanding of the transverse nature of the oscillatory disturbances within electromagnetic radiation, polarimetry lay dormant for over 100 years in its application to stars. Its dawning on the stellar scene awaited the combination of a prediction by Chandrasekhar (1946) related to the outcome of radiative transfer studies for early-type stellar atmospheres, and the simultaneous development of detector technology sufficient to make an observational response to the challenge set by theory. With a degree of interpretive licence, the introduction of polarimetry to Astrono- my may be set to an earlier millennium. Much of the early history of astronomy is bound up with application of celestial observations to determinations of local time and geographical position. It has been suggested that a navigational tool, or me- dieval GPS, in the form of the natural crystal (cordierite) with polarization proper- ties, was used as an astrolabe by the Vikings as early as ad 1000 (see Walker, 1978). With such a device the position of the Sun, hidden by a cloud, or below the hori- zon, could have been determined to within 3ı. It might be claimed, therefore, that polarimetry was utilised within Astronomy well in advance of the more readily ap- preciated diagnostic tool of spectroscopy! The concept of polarimetry as applied to the pursuit of physical understanding of the heavens did not emerge, however, until the turn of the nineteenth century, with application particularly to the Solar System, running hand in hand with the development of the subject in the optical laboratory.

  • Meditations on a Nautical Problem, Which the Most Illustrious King Proposed to the Parisian Academy of Science
    Euler's 1728 Essay to the French Royal Academy : E004 Meditationes super problem nautico,....... Translated & Annotated by Ian Bruce 1. MEDITATIONS ON A NAUTICAL PROBLEM, WHICH THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS KING PROPOSED TO THE PARISIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCE Indeed in everything we draw upon, we are led by the desire of acquiring knowledge and skill, and in which we consider beautiful to excell. M. T. Cicero de Officiis THE PROBEM : WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PLACE THE MASTS ON VESSELS, AS FAR AS THE RELATION BETWEEN THE POSITION AS WELL AS THE NUMBER AND HEIGHT OF THE MASTS IS CONCERNED. 1. Sailing generally depends on being driven forwards chiefly by sails alone, and not by oars, arising from the arrangement and placing together of the masts. Sails usually are connected to the masts by yardarms, and on being turned into the wind they drive the ship forwards on account of that force sustained. The implantation of the masts in the ship is to be investigated , so that a ship in general can proceed with the maximum speed, and in order that this can happen, the position, height, and number of masts is to be attended to in the most diligent manner. Because in the first place in this determination it is held that much study and labour be called upon so that, if the use of the rudder cannot be avoided, then the force of that must impede the motion of the ship as little as possible, as the action of the rudder always detracts from the speed of the ship.
