摘要:
The vote was 212 to 211 (ah yes, we must be in the House). It was the final tally, and the first time during the voting that the ayes had it. Midway through the roll call the nays led by as many as 30 votes, but toward the end of the 15‐minute voting period, they steadily lost ground. It was only after the allotted time had expired that the outcome was know

摘要:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has switched the launch date for the Hubble Space Telescope with that of the first Earth Observation Mission (EOM). Under the current plan, the Space Telescope will be launched October 27, 1986, and EOM will lift off August 18, 1986.Although the Space Telescope is still expected to be delivered to Kennedy Space Center on schedule, it has taken longer than expected to integrate the instruments with the spacecraft, according to a spokesman with the NASA Office of Space Flight. As a precaution, NASA managers decided to switch the dates for the Space Telescope and EOM, according to a NASA press release.

摘要:
This is a topical book that deals with the geomorphological and geological engineering problems associated with hillslope processes and sediment transport in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. There are few large cities in the United States where the problems of urban growth include such a distinctive physical environment, as well as the potential hazards of brush fires, earthquakes, and floods that occur in Los Angeles. The research and data used in the book are restricted to Los Angeles County and cover the period 1914–1978. The author has done a commendable job of synthesizing a large mass of data from diverse sources, including federal, state, and local agency reports, plus data from private groups such as professional technical societies and consultant

摘要:
Susan Solomon was born in Chicago and pursued her studies in chemistry first at the Illinois Institute of Technology and later at the University of California in Berkeley, where she became a student of Harold Johnston and first became acquainted with the unsolved problems of atmospheric chemistry. The realization in the 1970s that stratospheric ozone was both critical to life on earth and highly vulnerable to chemical destruction led to a great upsurge of interest in the chemistry of the middle atmosphere, the region lying between the tropopause and the base of the main ionosphere at about 100 km altitude. Susan quickly became deeply involved in the highly complex task of modeling the chemical composition of the middle atmosphere and completed her thesis work at NCAR [National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colo.] in collaboration with Paul Crutzen. Her work soon led her to confront the fundamental problem of the interaction between atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. It is in providing us with greater insight into this question that Susan has made her major contributions.

摘要:
On May 14–15, 1985, 63 discerning geomagnetists flocked to Canberra to attend the Geomagnetic Workshop coorganized by the Australian Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) and the Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University (ANU). With an aurorally glowing cast that included an International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) president, former president, and division chairman, the Oriental Magneto‐Banquet (which was the center of the meeting), was assured of success. As a cunning ploy to mask the true nature of this gastronomic extravagance from the probings of income tax departments, a presentation of scientific papers on Australian geomagnetism in its global setting was arranged.The Australian region, including New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and a large sector of the Antarctic, covers one eighth of the Earth's surface and historically has played an important role in the study of geomagnetism. The region contains both the south magnetic and geomagnetic poles, and two Australian Antarctic stations (Casey and Davis) are situated in the region of the south polar cusp (see Figure
