South Cascade Glacier mass balance , 1935 – 2006

A simple model uses daily observations of precipitation and temperature at a nearby weather station to estimate glacier-average seasonal mass-balance components at South Cascade Glacier, Washington, USA, from 1935, 24 years before measurements began at the glacier. This is 13 years earlier than measurements that can be derived using the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis database (begins 1 January 1948). Alt...

Alcohol consumption and liver disease in Australia: a time series analysis of the period 1935-2006.

AIMS The aim of the study was to examine for Australia whether the link between population alcohol consumption and liver disease mortality varies over time, using 71 years of data. METHODS Overall and gender-specific rates of liver disease mortality were analysed in relation to total alcohol consumption as well as for different beverage types by using autoregressive integrated moving average ...

Roger Needham, 1935-2003

Cambridge Research Lab, which he founded in 1997. Prior to joining Microsoft, he was associated with Cambridge University for nearly half a century—as an undergraduate and graduate student, as a researcher, and eventually as a professor and head of the Computer Laboratory. In this EIC message, I focus on the significance of Needham's research contributions to pervasive computing. These contribu...

Alan Cowey (1935–2012)

Alan's work was necessarily interdisciplinary because he saw no way of understanding anatomy, physiology or behaviour without understanding all of them. Hence his work on visual plasticity and development incorporated retinal and collicular anatomy, lesion studies and neuropsychological work with patients. This led him to take up the discovery of blindsight by Larry Weiskrantz, his graduate sup...
