Scientists awarded for Excellence in Research to present public lectures2013-02-04
Two scientists have received the Queen's Prize for Excellence in Research for the impact they've made in their respective fields.
Zongchao Jia's (Biomedical and Molecular Sciences) research into bacteria helps make drinking water safer and organic chemist Victor Snieckus (Chemistry) has made major discoveries in the area of molecule synthesis, leading to anti-AIDS and anti-inflammatory drugs and grain crop protecting agents.
Dr. Jia is a Killam Research Fellow and the Canada Research Chair in Structural Biology.
His research group has determined that certain bacteria, including E. coli, have evolved by making an enzyme called AceK in order to survive under nutrient-deficient conditions. By revealing, AceK's three-dimensional structure, Dr. Jia's group has gained understanding into how this enzyme works and how intervention strategies can be explored to lock AceK in the high-nutrient state, thereby reducing the bacteria's chance to survive under low-nutrient conditions such as in drinking water.
Dr. Snieckus (Chemistry) holds the Alfred Bader Chair in Organic Chemistry and director, Snieckus Innovations, a new Queen's initiative in its Industrial Park. He is internationally recognized for major technologies in how molecules are assembled and assisting pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry in development of new drugs and crop-yield enhancing agents.
Much of his work is related to boron, which he calls "the chemical element of the 21st century." Boron compounds, in addition to being useful in synthesis of pharmaceuticals, are used as antifungal agents, detergents, in bulletproof vests, in emergency shutdown systems for nuclear reactors, and are now being developed as light-emitting devices and semi-conductors.
"The highest form of recognition from Queen's for research conducted at the university is reflected in the Prize for Excellence in Research, where outstanding individuals are recognized by their peers," says Steven N. Liss, Vice-Principal (Research). "This is the opportunity to recognize on an annual basis the outstanding accomplishments of our leading researchers and the work they have conducted at Queen's that has led to significant discoveries, scholarly achievement and important innovations.
"The contributions of the 2011 winners, Drs. Jia and Snieckus, to the fields of biochemistry and structural biology, and synthetic organic chemistry, respectively, have far-reaching impact and advance the reputation of Queen's as a world-class research-intensive university."
The two scientists are presenting public lectures this month.

Nano Technology means the graphite that makes up Abu Garcia's 6-foot, medium-heavy Veritas casting rod is manipulated on an atomic level, giving the rod 2½ times more impact resistance than standard fishing rods. Microscopic nicks and dings that might cause other rods to fail won't affect the Veritas. Contact Abu Garcia at (800) 228-4272; abugarcia.com.
"This rod is super light, but still has a strong backbone. I love the small guides and the white color. The handle feels good in my hand and I love the hook keeper."
"When I first saw the micro-guides on the rod I was skeptical, but I was very impressed with the flipping and casting distance. In fact, the rod performed excellently and exceeded my expectations."

I don't believe it has anything to do with whether the point exists in the database because the "Apparent Intersection" OSnap works fine with arcs. AutoCAD also has no trouble Trimming or Extending to the extension of arcs when EDGEMODE is enabled. Similarly, the "Extension" OSnap gives visual proof that AutoCAD would have no trouble finding the Perp extension of an arc, yet it doesn't (see link below) Snapping to the line to the arc center and then trimming with Edgmode1 or grip editing the new line back to the "Apparent Intersection" are probably the two fastest work-a-rounds.
This post is talking about straight snaping perp to an arc and not an apparent intersection. For apparent intersection, the line and arc must pre-exist. It helps if you read the whole post to know what the problem is, so you can chime in with a solution. Know what the actual conversation is about before adding your two cents worth.
azrdgldr wrote:This post is talking about straight snaping perp to an arc and not an apparent intersection.
This thread is not about "straight snapping" perp to an arc. The OP is asking why Perp OSnap won't acquire Perpendicularity at the extension of an arc, just as it does for lines. Whether that missing functionality is an oversite, a bug, or an conscience decision, is yet to be determined, but it's not a geometrical, mathmatical, or computational limitation because other commands and other OSnaps will lock onto arc extensions, even when used in conjunction with other OSnaps and/or tracking modes.

That seems incredibly rude, presumptuous, and condescending, but non-the-less, you're quite mistaken that I didn't read the entire thread, that I don't understand the situation, and my reply was never intended to be a "solution" rather it was demonstration that AutoCAD is perfectly capable of acquiring points beyond the defined endpoints of arc, despite the fact the Perp and Tan OSnaps currently do not.
Geometric constrainst are yet another example where AutoCAD can establish, and maintain Perpendicularity and Tangency between arcs (including their extensions) and other objects with only one "fixed point" as would be the case when trying to snap a line Perpendicular to the extension of an arc. Again it's not a question of why AutoCAD can't do it, because AutoCAD clearly can, the question is why the developers didn't include it.
Stevev0983 wrote
"By definition, a line cannot be perpendicular to an arc since perpendicular means to meet at right angles. It can only be perpendicular to another line or a plane (and actually, the correct term for a line and a plane is "normal", not perpendicular). Not sure why ACAD ever lights up the perp marker even when you extend the arc."
Sorry hate to correct you. You can have a point that is perpendicular to an arc whether outisde or inside the arc. It is perpendicular to the tangent of that point on the arc. Which you did get correct perpendicular is at right angles.

On to the cruise...., our cabin steward, Jonel, was wonderful. Really enjoyed the towel animals, especially when he made a special display for our anniversary, two lovely swans and balloons. Plus he took such good care of us, our cabin was always so spotless!
Activities...our favorite, of course, was the Pub Hop with Montse. What a fun, fun time! We made such great friends with all the crawlers and Montse. 'Bloody Mary' was the absolute best! We had so much fun, we begged for, and were granted, a second crawl. And then, we had so much fun we arranged our own 'un-offical' crawl. The Bar Servers, Jason, Bier Garden and Amit, StarBar,(our favorites), the wait staff, just everyone we encountered was so friendly. Always said hello and were so helpful. We also attended a few of the seminars on excursions and shopping, played bingo, met the Senior Staff, and enjoyed some of the shows. "Elements" was awesome! The most elaborate show we have ever seen.
Meeting the Senior Staff was so wonderful. No only that, but they were always around, and very approachable. We had T-shirts made up special for the cruise as we were leaving on the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, and brought along markers to have people sign them. Needless to say, our shirts are covered with signatures! From Pub Hop Friends to the Captain (Thanks to Katya, Bar Manager and Shirlette, our favorite Bar Tender). Sean, Hotel Manger, was very interested in hearing about the positive, and negative, comments. Katya, Bar Manager, was also very attentive and sincerely concerned about our cruise experience. Having met most of the Senior Staff, and that had signed our shirts, we felt they were truely interested in our opinions. At the end of 'Elements', when the Cruise staff and Officers took the stage, incredible! What a finish!
The food was very good. Really enjoyed everything. We ate Breakfast, mostly, at the Market Cafe or Blue Lagoon, lunch at the Market Cafe or Blue Lagoon, and dinners mostly in Aqua, and had a good experience in all places. We were pleased with the choices and quality. Sometimes I didn't enjoy what I ordered, but that was because I ordered something I had never eaten before and wanted to try it.
The only negatives I could comment on would be the lack of shaded areas. There was plenty of space, albeit difficult to find empty chairs/lounge chairs, for sunning, but very little area to sit out of the sun, and still be outside. I would have been best to have more seating on Deck Seven, the Promenade.
All in all, if we could sail with this crew again, we would at every opportunity! This crew was like a FAMILY, from washy-washy to Bloody Mary to the bar staff to the wait staff to the executive staff. We had a ball!

Non-native Plants Taking Over Public Lands
May 16, 2001 — Government officials say invasive plants are taking over public lands at the rate of thousands of acres a day. These invasives are plants that are not native to the area. Often, plants such as garlic mustard and kudzu were brought to a region for ornamental use, before spreading to other areas where they weren't wanted. As the Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Mary Jo Wagner reports, efforts to stop the spread of these plants have been spotty. Go to full article

Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.

I have the right to do whatever I wish with my property. If I own a pile of wood, I can set fire to it even if it is currently nailed together in the shape of a barn. Cigarettes may not be healthy for me in the long run, but I have the freedom to smoke them anyway. Drinking alcohol may or may not have negative side effects, but even if it does, the government has no authority to prohibit you from consuming it, even if it is "in your own best interest." Since when do we let the government decide what is or isn't good for us? What the hell does Congress know about nutrition, anyway? (For that matter, what does Congress know about the Constitution?) If the government can use force whenever something is "in our best interest" then government should force everyone to wake up at 6am every morning for calisthenics in the front yard. Fast food establishments should be torn down and replaced with bars that serve carrot juice and alfalfa sprouts, since - "it's in your best interest." This paternalistic attitude that "the government knows best" and that you are merely a helpless child is insulting and reprehensible. Hitler used the same attitude to persuade the Germans to subjugate themselves to the "Fatherland."

Some material things make my life more enjoyable; many, however, would not. I like having an expensive private plane, but owning a half-dozen homes would be a burden. Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner. The asset I most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse, and long-standing friends. My wealth has come from a combination of living in America, some lucky genes, and compound interest. Both my children and I won what I call the ovarian lottery. (For starters, the odds against my 1930 birth taking place in the U.S. were at least 30 to 1. My being male and white also removed huge obstacles that a majority of Americans then faced.) My luck was accentuated by my living in a market system that sometimes produces distorted results, though overall it serves our country well. Ive worked in an economy that rewards someone who saves the lives of others on a battlefield with a medal, rewards a great teacher with thank-you notes from parents, but rewards those who can detect the mispricing of securities with sums reaching into the billions. In short, fates distribution of long straws is wildly capricious. The reaction of my family and me to our extraordinary good fortune is not guilt, but rather gratitude. Were we to use more than 1% of my claim checks on ourselves, neither our happiness nor our well-being would be enhanced. In contrast, that remaining 99% can have a huge effect on the health and welfare of others. That reality sets an obvious course for me and my family: Keep all we can conceivably need and distribute the rest to society, for its needs. My pledge starts us down that course.

If form follows function, as we know it does in this Universe, then consciousness will adapt to whatever form it requires in order to function. Hopefully, it will also develop its fundamental function; what that is may be debatable within many schools of thought, but it is indisputable that evolved thinking recognizes the universality of Life.
Vanna Bonta
But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? ... By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems. And, by abortion, that father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. The father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.

I waited day and night for the voice of God within me, to know what He had to say to me, to learn what I had to do. In this seclusion the earliest realisation, the first lesson came to me. I remembered then that a month or more before my arrest, a call had come to me to put aside all activity, to go in seclusion and to look into myself, so that I might enter into closer communion with Him. I was weak and could not accept the call. My work was very dear to me and in the pride of my heart I thought that unless I was there, it would suffer or even fail and cease; therefore I would not leave it. It seemed to me that He spoke to me again and said, "The bonds you had not the strength to break, I have broken for you, because it is not my will nor was it ever my intention that that should continue. I have had another thing for you to do and it is for that I have brought you here, to teach you what you could not learn for yourself and to train you for my work." Then He placed the Gita in my hands. His strength entered into me and I was able to do the sadhana of the Gita. I was not only to understand intellectually but to realise what Sri Krishna demanded of Arjuna and what He demands of those who aspire to do His work, to be free from repulsion and desire, to do work for Him without the demand for fruit, to renounce self-will and become a passive and faithful instrument in His hands, to have an equal heart for high and low, friend and opponent, success and failure, yet not to do His work negligently. I realised what the Hindu religion meant. We speak often of the Hindu religion, of the Sanatan Dharma, but few of us really know what that religion is. Other religions are preponderatingly religions of faith and profession, but the Sanatan Dharma is life itself; it is a thing that has not so much to be believed as lived. This is the Dharma that for the salvation of humanity was cherished in the seclusion of this peninsula from of old. It is to give this religion that India is rising. She does not rise as other countries do, for self or when she is strong, to trample on the weak. She is rising to shed the eternal light entrusted to her over the world. India has always existed for humanity and not for herself and it is for humanity and not for herself that she must be great.

Where everyone has a voice
Does your career require you to use your voice extensively? Teachers, clergy, attorneys, politicians, salespersons, public speakers, fitness instructors, and telemarketers are just a few examples of jobs which require a significant amount of time speaking throughout the day.
If your voice is one of the tools of your trade, you can think of yourself as an occupational voice user.
Occupational voice users are at special risk for developing hoarseness simply because the job requires heavy voice use, often with little time in between to allow the voice to recover. Not only do you use your voice to communicate with family and friends, but you also depend upon your voice for your livelihood.
Hoarseness can be a common occurrence for occupational voice users. You can develop muscle strain in and around the voice box (muscle tension dysphonia), or you may develop non-cancerous lesions on the vocal folds (vocal cords) from overuse of the voice.
When these changes occur in your voice, your quality of life is affected, and your livelihood may be threatened. Here are some typical comments from our patients who are occupational voice users:
Even if your voice recovers to normal after each episode of hoarseness, recurrent symptoms of hoarseness and vocal fatigue can lead to more permanent voice changes if not corrected.
If you are hoarse for more than three weeks, you should seek an evaluation. Early attention can help you keep your voice and safeguard your career.
Our team of voice specialists will evaluate your voice with special emphasis on:
See Appointments for more information regarding your initial evaluation.
Often occupational voice users will develop muscle strain in and around the voice box (muscle tension dysphonia). Other times, there will be noticeable changes to the structure of the vocal folds (vocal cords).
Occupational voice users sometimes develop benign, non-cancerous growths on the vocal folds, caused by inefficient voice use. These lesions (or "bumps") on the vocal folds alter vocal fold vibration and lead to hoarseness.
The most common vocal fold lesions are nodules, polyps, and cysts. Vocal nodules (also known as nodes) can be thought of as "calluses" of the vocal folds. Vocal fold nodules, polyps, and cysts cause stiffening of the soft outer layer of the vocal folds, which affects vocal fold vibration and vocal fold closure.
Although treatment will depend on your diagnosis and your needs, voice therapy is the backbone of treatment for almost anyone with a voice disorder. This is especially true for occupational voice users, who depend on the quality and durability of the voice to earn an income.
With muscle tension dysphonia and with most benign lesions, voice therapy will be recommended. Even if surgery is needed to remove a lesion, voice therapy can help to maximize your speaking technique before surgery, so that you know how to avoid damaging your voice after surgery.
In voice therapy, a speech pathologist will help you learn healthy, efficient voice production. You will use your lung power to produce good breath flow for talking, along with an easy, relaxed throat, and forward "placement" of the voice for a healthy, resonant sound.
Using your breath well will help you relax the throat when speaking, and your voice can be produced with greater ease.
With practice, these techniques feel very natural and become part of your daily speaking patterns. Often, you immediately begin to feel much less effort when speaking and less fatigue with speaking all day, even before your voice quality changes.
Along with learning your best voice production, the voice therapist will help you balance your voice use at work and home, working with you to find times to rest your voice, so the voice can recover after heavy use.
Problem solving together, we will look for ways to spare your voice, whether it involves using voice amplification or delegating some speaking tasks to others. Finally, prevention of recurrence and maintenance of a healthy voice are emphasized with all voice therapy.
When vocal difficulties persist despite voice therapy and the treatment of other medical factors, surgery may be needed.
The goal of this surgical procedure is to delicately remove the abnormal portions of the soft outer layer of the vocal fold in order to restore the vocal fold to its normal vibratory state. Post-operative voice therapy is an essential component of vocal rehabilitation to maximize the quality and stamina of the voice.
People with high vocal demands should plan their day to incorporate brief periods of voice rest, and be careful not to overuse the voice outside of work. Even 15 minutes of quiet time two times during the work day can be very helpful in reducing vocal fatigue.
Strive for good vocal hygiene, which includes adequate hydration, managing allergies, controlling reflux, and avoiding smoking.
Teachers and other presenters can spare their voices by using a personal amplification system in the classroom (or conference room) or by having the classroom fitted with a room amplification system.
See Care Guides for more information about voice care for those with vocally demanding careers.
Call 919-684-3834 (local) or 800-385-3646 (toll-free) to make an appointment with a voice care specialist in the Triangle of North Carolina. We see patients from Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, and beyond.

A: Pours an opaque black with a thick, creamy tan head.
S: Pleasant aromas of caramel, coffee, roasted grain, vanilla bean, dark chocolate, minerals, raisins, plums, and black cherries are underscored by a subtle, oaky, lactic funk.
T: Notes of oak, cedar, plums, black cherry, black currant, rum raisins, figs, roasted grain, coffee, vanilla bean, caramel, dark chocolate, and minerals fill the mouth. Lactic character from the yeast is very subtle. The finish is dry and intense with oak, roasted grain, chocolate, dark fruit, and mellow alcohol.
M; Relatively full-bodied, dry, and chalky. Carbonation is crisp and intense. Alcohol presence is mellow and restrained. This is very easy to drink compared to many other examples of the style.
O: A really interesting imperial stout. The funky notes are minimal, but work in the context of this beer. Before trying this, I had heard a number of horror stories about the consistency of Jester King's output, with this beer often singled out as one of the most hit or miss. Either those stories are exaggerated or I happened to get a good bottle because, fortunately, this turned out to be a very nice ale. I would definitely try this one again.

Poured into a snifter.
I know it's not appearance, but I did appreciate the healthy glugging sound as this beer departed the bottle. Add to that the thick and viscous liquid that came out and I was well on my way to enjoying this beer. The pour produced a three-finger thick head that was espresso-tinged in color, very frothy, and crystalline. The beer was pitch black and looked like a coffee without milk. The head also proved to be incredibly persistent.
Perhaps, my mind and nose were playing tricks on me, but i got hints of lactose when smelling this beer. There was dark chocolate blending with this, so it was very much like a cafe mocha. I also got some really sweet aromas that suggested Belgian candy syrup, which then were complemented by sweet malts. A very intriguing and dessert-like brew.
Black Metal's taste did not disappoint either. I immediately got dark chocolate and cherry and other dark fruit notes, then a thick dark roasted malt flavor, creamy lactose, baker's chocolate and cocoa. The dry chocolatey flavors stuck on my tongue. A damn delightful treat.
The beer is sweet and almost sugary, which may find some detractors, but I feel the other characteristics do a great job of balancing things out. There's slight yeastiness, medium carbonation and body, slight fruity lightness, and a thrust of carbonation at the finish. I also realized the beer has a slight vinous quality.
This beer is just outstanding. It complex, unique and bursting with flavor. Superb.

The Problem:
The waters of our Northern Hemisphere are deadly. Toxics are carried to them by a polluted mantle of air containing hundreds of millions of molecules per breath full of persistent pesticides such as chlordane, toxaphene, Dieldrin, PCBs, Lindane, hexachlorobenzene, and DDT. Human health and wildlife survival continues to suffer from chemicals that were long banned because they promoted human cancer or caused acute environmental devastation.These highly chlorinated, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) circulate with global weather and distribute around the globe according to their volatility. Lindane, relatively volatile, was found in the Arctic Ocean at 40 times the concentration of ocean waters near its temperate region uses. PCBs smear out through the mid latitudes and decrease towards the north. Toxaphene and chlordane settle in north of PCBs. They must be stopped.
The Human Effect:
Everyone: Researchers continue to connect the presence of low levels of POPs with diabetes, cancer, asthma and other diseases. Is it surprising to find that chemicals designed to destroy life may be interfering with human health?
Inuit: POPs enter the food chain at the microscopic level and remain in the fat of living creatures, bioaccumulating up the food chain to the point that the fat of Arctic narwhal and beluga whales would be classified as hazardous waste. Inuit of Northern Canada and Greenland, who consume this fat as well as that of seals, polar bear and walrus as a portion of their diet, are highly contaminated. Canadian Inuit women of child bearing age consume 14 times the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of chlordane, toxaphene, PCBs and other pesticides. They suffer infertility, stillbirths and birth defects. Many of their children have compromised immune systems, suffering near constant colds and flus that leave them hearing impaired.
The Great Lakes: Waters from the Chesapeake to San Francisco Bays are contaminated with POPs. Toxaphene levels in Lake Superior, banned in 1982, have increased 50% since banning. Lower Great Lakes PCB levels fall slowly as they vent their excesses to the atmosphere, but Lake Superior has maintained a constant level of PCBs for decades. It is in equilibrium with the toxic mantle of global air and controlled by it! Fish reproduction is impaired and eagles cannot reproduce on a diet from the waters of the Great Lakes. Humans are advised to restrict consumption or avoid eating Great Lakes fish.
The Arctic: Polar bears of the Hudson Bay area may suffer from the lack of ice and seals in the summer, but their brothers to the north have higher levels of POPs and experience half their lifespan and half their reproductivity. Killer whales, leaving the Pacific Northwest to feed on mammal pups in the Arctic return without their mature males. The nursing pups are very toxic from their mother's milk. Female killer whales vent POPs through their own milk while males continue to accumulate POPs. Their compromised immune systems make them vulnerable to death from infections.
Banned Chemicals?
We banned these chemicals in the 1970s and 80s after using them for a couple decades. Unfortunately, through the Green Revolution of the 1960s, our high yielding agriculture was exported to India, Pakistan and Asia to save hundreds of millions of lives using chemicals we subsequently banned. The developing countries have now used these chemicals for their expanding agricultural business for a half a century. China now exports 3.5 billion pounds of food per year to the U.S. food grown with pesticides we've banned pesticides that make their way back to our waters.
The Stockholm Convention is a 2001 voluntary agreement to globally ban POPs. Since 2001, there has been nothing voluntarily accomplished that will improve the health of our waters. Global business continues unfettered while poisons pour into the air and find our waters. There will not be any efforts in developing countries without diplomatic carrots or sticks. This will not happen until citizens of the developed world let their elected representatives know that they are tired of breathing contaminated air and not being able to enjoy the fish from our cold, clear deadly waters.
Do Something:
Don't ignore the opportunity to pass this message to all your friends the same list that you sent the last cute little joke you received. Then let the politicians who are now campaigning about how they will protect your health care dollar know that you would prefer that they clean up our air so there will be less illness and health care cost!

Development of Sensor Technology Earns Jerome Paros Sperry Award
"In the 1960s, instrumentation was all analog. I recognized one could make higher resolution and more accurate measurements in the time domain with digital sensors." —Paros
By Jim Strothman
Minutes after a tsunami killed more than 160,000 people in the Indian Ocean region on 26 December 2004, the telephones began ringing at little-known Redmond, Wash.-based Paroscientific Inc.
Just one month before, Paroscientific and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) jointly presented a paper at an international conference in Japan urging expansion of existing tsunami detection systems in the Pacific to the Indian Ocean.
Detecting tsunamis and other complex geophysical phenomena can be done—if governments are willing to invest (thus far, a big "if")—with quartz crystal resonator sensor technology. First introduced by Jerome M. "Jerry" Paros at a 1972 ISA conference, the technology has proven to be important for numerous scientific applications. Because of his achievements developing it, Paros, Paroscientific president and chairman, has won ISA's coveted Albert F. Sperry Founder Award.
Paros began developing the first quartz crystal resonator pressure transducers in the 1960s. Today, Paroscientific's application areas include such diverse fields as oceanography, meteorology, hydrology, energy exploration, process control, aerospace, and laboratory instrumentation.
ISA's Albert F. Sperry Founder Award is the society's outstanding achievement award and recognizes technical, educational, or philosophical contributions to the science and technology of instrumentation, systems, and automation. The award is named for Albert F. Sperry, who was internationally recognized for his contributions to the advancement and development of instrumentation as an innovator, business executive, and ISA leader. Sperry served as the first ISA President in 1946 and was elected an Honorary Member of ISA in 1956.
The award may be conferred annually and carries a $3,000 honorarium and plaque. Paros will be recognized for receiving it at ISA's annual Honors and Awards (H&A) Banquet on 16 October at the Hyatt RegencyHouston.
"I'm greatly honored by the Sperry award and very pleased with the recognition that some of the work we've been involved in has made significant contributions to science and engineering," Paros said. "The tie-in with ISA is interesting, with the first public pronouncement of our work made at the ISA 1972 conference." It was later published in a 1973 edition of ISA Transactions.
A key to the development of the quartz crystal resonator sensor technology was making the decision to go to digital sensing, rather than analog. "In the 1960s, instrumentation was all analog," Paros said. "I recognized one could make higher resolution and more accurate measurements in the time domain with digital sensors." Good luck helped, he said, because soon afterward the rapid expansion of microprocessor-based digital data acquisition and control systems required more precise, digitally compatible sensors. "We decided to characterize the confluence of our vision and good luck as good planning," he said.
According to Paroscientific, its high-precision digital pressure sensors "operate on the principle of changing the resonant frequency of load-sensitive quartz crystals with pressure-induced stress. Quartz crystal temperature sensors are incorporated as an integral part of the pressure transducers for purposes of thermal compensation. Frequency signals from the quartz crystals are counted and linearized through microprocessor-based electronics to provide two-way communications and control in a number of digital formats. The high precision pressure instrumentation has resolution of better than 0.0001% and typical accuracy of 0.01%, even under difficult environmental conditions."
High-accuracy, broadband, quartz pressure transducers are the most important sensors used in many atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrologic applications because they permit the measurement of phenomena having great spatial and temporal variability. An example is the ability to measure changes in water level with better than millimeter sensitivity at depths of thousands of meters. These transducers are the key sensors used for detecting tsunamis.
Logic would suggest governments would happily seize the technology to warn its citizens. However, governments typically react only after a disaster occurs, Paros said, acknowledging frustration.
One month before the December 2004 tsunami, when Paroscientific and NOAA jointly urged expansion of existing tsunami detection systems in the Pacific to the Indian Ocean at an international conference in Japan, a government official from one of the countries dashed the idea. He pointed out a tsunami hadn't hit the area in 300 years.
"A month later, the deadly tsunami occurred, and the following month, we were inundated with interest by governments around the world," Paros said. Unfortunately, even if the detection network had been established, countries like Indonesia still lack the infrastructure to get the news to people quickly, he said.
The Paroscientific founder expresses similar exasperation with the current U.S. government's reluctance to accept the scientific proof of global warming. "We urge governments not to debate the science, which is clear now, but rather to establish policies that will do something about it," Paros said.
Paros received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in physics at the University of Massachusetts and Columbia University. He holds more than 20 patents and has authored numerous articles on instrumentation used for measurement sciences. Paroscientific and related companies he founded now manufacture a wide variety of sensors that use the quartz crystal resonator technology he developed to measure pressure, acceleration, temperature, weight, and other parameters.
Walter P. Kistler, president of the Foundation for the Future, nominated Paros for the Sperry Award—originated "to recognize the conception or implementation of fundamental contributions with a profound or significant impact in the broad field of instrumentation." Kistler, an ISA Fellow, won the 1980 Albert F. Sperry Award.
Paros promotes educational programs in science and mathematics. Last year, he contributed $10,000 to ISA to establish the Paros-Digiquartz Scholarship Awards for promising students—an amount matched by ISA. This year, Paros contributed another $3,000 to that by donating his Sperry Award Honorarium, which ISA again matched, for a total of $26,000 available for ISA Paros-Digiquartz scholarships.
In addition to supporting ISA's educational goals, Paros has endowed the "Professor of Measurement Sciences Chair" at the University of Massachusetts, the "Professor of Sensor Networks Chair" at the University of Washington, and the "Jerome M. Paros-Palisades Geophysical Institute Fund for Engineering Innovation in Geoscience Research" at Columbia University. Paros has also funded scholarships at four other technical societies and established high school math and science enrichment programs in the Boston and Puget Sound regions.

North Carolina advocates for LGBT equality are collecting postcards targeting state senators, urging them to oppose a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Supporters of the discriminatory amendment are taking a "low-key approach" by talking to individual legislators, but many across the state are getting fired up about the issue. The Sea Gate Community Chapel in Wilmington featured a sign that said, "God loves gays but he hates a perverted life… Turn or Burn" that was smashed over the weekend by a hammer. The sign's maker, Anna Benson, said she feels no animosity towards homosexuals because "I love the gays."
