Memorial Tributes: Volume 20 FOREWORD THIS IS THE TWENTIETH VOLUME in the Memorial Tributes series compiled by the National Academy of Engineering as a personal remembrance of the lives and outstanding achieve- ments of its members and foreign members. These volumes are intended to stand as an enduring record of the many contribu- tions of engi neers and engineering to the benefit of humankind. In most cases, the authors of the tributes are contemporaries or colleagues who had personal knowledge of the interests and the engineering accomplishments of the deceased. Through its members and foreign members, the Academy carries out the responsibilities for which it was established in 1964. Under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering was formed as a par- allel organization of outstanding engineers. Members are elected by their peers on the basis of significant contributions to engineering theory and practice and to the literature of engi- neering or on the basis of demonstrated exceptional accom- plishments in the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine share a responsibility to advise the federal gov- ernment on matters of science and technology. The expertise and credibility that the National Academy of Engineering brings to that task stem directly from the abilities, interests, and achievements of our members and foreign members, our colleagues and friends, whose special gifts we remember in these pages.

REINSCHMIDT WILLIAM F. ALLEN JR., of Braintree, Massachusetts, passed away September 21, 2014. He was born on June 22, 1919, in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Bill graduated with a BS degree in civil engineering from Brown University where he later worked as a mechanical engineering instruc- tor. He served in the US Navy as a Lieutenant (jg) from 1944 to 1946. In August 1945 he was on board one of the vessels in the US invasion fleet headed toward a landing in the Japanese home islands when the atomic bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the war. He often recollected later that atomic weapons had saved his life. He served in Japan for 10 months, describing in his own words, “I was at sea on LST 751 when the Japanese capitulated. Since we were supposed to storm the beaches we were initially not equipped to occupy Japan; we were ordered to find equipment and material to supply our forces and to feed the Japanese people who were starving when we arrived.” He was a staunch supporter of civilian nuclear power and was instrumental in seeing the need to adapt military technol- ogy such as nuclear submarines to the civilian energy sector. He firmly believed that civilian nuclear power would be a clean, safe, economical, and unlimited source of energy for years to come. 3 Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

  • Thomas Edison Vs Nikola Tesla THOMAS EDISON VS NIKOLA TESLA
    M C SCIENTIFIC RIVALRIES PHERSON AND SCANDALS In the early 1880s, only a few wealthy people had electric lighting in their homes. Everyone else had to use more dangerous lighting, such as gas lamps. Eager companies wanted to be the first to supply electricity to more Americans. The early providers would set the standards—and reap great profits. Inventor THOMAS EDISON already had a leading role in the industry: he had in- vented the fi rst reliable electrical lightbulb. By 1882 his Edison Electric Light Company was distributing electricity using a system called direct current, or DC. But an inventor named NIKOLA TESLA challenged Edison. Tesla believed that an alternating cur- CURRENTS THE OF rent—or AC—system would be better. With an AC system, one power station could deliver electricity across many miles, compared to only about one mile for DC. Each inventor had his backers. Business tycoon George Westinghouse put his money behind Tesla and built AC power stations. Meanwhile, Edison and his DC backers said that AC could easily electrocute people. Edison believed this risk would sway public opinion toward DC power. The battle over which system would become standard became known as the War of the Currents. This book tells the story of that war and the ways in which both kinds of electric power changed the world.

  • IT Legacy Article Compendium
    An IT Legacy Booklet March 2016 IT Legacy Article Compendium 1 INTRODUCTION – LOWELL A. BENSON, EDITOR Write a Book? How about an autobiography? Shortly after the Information Technology (IT) Legacy Committee was formed, Dick Lundgren began to write Legacy articles for the VIP Club newsletter. During the committee’s decade of volunteering, several other committee members have also written Legacy associated newsletter items. This booklet1 is a collection of those VIP Club newsletter articles. The first several articles are the history of the Legacy Committee as we felt our way through the quagmire of gathering documents and hardware artifacts and then cataloging them. So, to some degree, this is both a book and the IT Legacy Committee’s autobiography. This book complements our December 2015 ‘Article for the Month’. That too was a booklet: Measuring Success = Volunteer Hours; recapping a decade with summaries of over 100 on-line IT Legacy articles. I dedicate this document to James 'Rapp' Rapinac who passed away 23 January 2016. Rapp was a steadfast supporter of our legacy initiatives and a good friend.

Conquering and curing clinical depressions, bipolar illnesses and related disorders is the goal that drives the University of Michigan Comprehensive Depression Center’s (UMDC) team. Mood disorders are common. They start early. Untreated, they recur again and again throughout the lifespan. They touch everyone, are expensive, and their consequences can be tragic and even deadly if left untreated. They have multiple causes, so no one size treatment will fit all. For many patients, treatments are frustrating and too often abandoned. But Depression Center members face these challenges with growing confidence every day. As you begin to read the pages of our 2013-2014 IMPACT report, you will get a taste for some of the many ways UMDC members are harnessing collaborative and innovative strategies to address these challenges and achieve our bold goals. The diagram illustrating the Center’s Strategic Plan shown here is not just an intellectual exercise. There is power in collaboration and the Depression Center thrives on partnerships. Some of our faculty, students, and staff excel in partnering to unveil underlying mechanisms through basic neuroscience, molecular, psychosocial and cognitive sciences. Others adapt what is learned to develop biomarkers or “signposts” that help clinicians in labeling the real underlying cause to select the precise treatments that work.
