Abstract:

We have been searching the northern sky for ultra-narrowband carriers of intelligent extraterrestrial origin at 21cm wavelength. The dual-polarization 65,536-channel receiver has a resolution bandwidth of 0.03Hz, matched to the Drake-Helou spreading of the interstellar medium. This maximizes signal/noise ratio, and simultaneously rejects carriers of terrestrial origin. The results of 15 months of observation are summarized.

On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was published in 1859 in England and in 1860 in the United States. Its relatively positive initial reception in the United States was facilitated by a number of factors including the prominence of geology among the sciences, the high standing of Darwin with James Dwight Dana (1813–1895), and common knowledge about geology among many non-geologists. As indicated by the example of Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), knowledge of a long duration for the Earth and of the fact of species extinction was taken for granted. At the level of elite science,

Abstract:

The most accurate LLR (lunar laser ranging) initiative, named APOLLO (apache point observatory lunar laser-ranging operation) demonstrated millimeter-range positional accuracy in 2009, thus improving LLR by one order-of-magnitude. Since, LLR is a foundational technique in studying gravity, Murphy (principal investigator of APOLLO) stated in 2009, that with this millimeter-range accuracy, the simulation model has been found to be the limiting-factor in extracting the theoretical science results, and hence, we should: (1) develop the science case and expand our ability to model LLR for a new reg

Abstract The Walcott Quarry was discovered in 1909 by the Smithsonian Institute's Charles Doolittle Walcott (1850–1927). The Cambrian Burgess Shale (505 Ma, Miaolingian) crops out in the quarry and the lagerstätte is the nexus of ongoing vigorous debate about fossil preservation (including taphonomy and diagenesis), taxonomy, classification, phylogeny, and the origin of phyla and baupläne. Smithsonian Institute's field crews collected from 1909–1924, and the quarry was subsequently expanded by Harvard University (1930), the Canadian Geological Survey (1966–67), and the Royal Ontario Museum (19

Abstract:

Astronomy thrived in Europe during the early nineteenth century, but in the United States a utilitarian mind-set opposed it. John Quincy Adams's oratory in support of American astronomical discovery reached its peak during congressional debate over the Smithsonian Institution (1838-1846). During this debate Adams countered proposals to found a university with plans for an observatory. His addresses to congressional and public audiences about observatories and astronomy were intended to foster interest in the science and encourage the growing astronomical community in America. Although the U.S.

AbstractStellifer naso is known from the State of Bahia (Brazil), but there is a lack of an accurate definition of its type locality. Thayer's expedition (around 1865–1866), led by Louis Agassiz and staff from the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ, Harvard University), intended to explore Brazilian fauna and flora, with most of its material housed in the MCZ and used to describe several species, including S. naso. Examination of specimens from the original description of that species, housed in the MCZ and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, helped review the accurate point of

BHL is actively engaging in incorporating tools (including Digital Object Identifier's (DOI's)and the recently launched full-text search) to make finding and linking to collection specimen information better. Still, it is not easy to find specific collections information in the non-semantically tagged BHL content. This session will call for ideas on how to loca

Preservation influences what can be measured within the fossil record but modern methods are also not compatible with paleobotanical methods.

Abstract:

Fossilized leaves provide the longest running record of hyperdiverse plant–insect herbivore associations. Reconstructions of these relationships over deep time indicate strong links between environmental conditions, herbivore diversity, and feeding damage on leaves. However, herbivory has not been compared between the past and the modern era, which is characterized by intense anthropogenic environmental change. Here, we present estimates for damage frequencies and diversities on fossil leaves from the Late Cretaceous (66.8 Ma) through the Pleistocene (2.06 Ma) and compare these estimates with
