With the requirement to better quantify greenhouse gases, establishing TCCON stations in remote environments will be necessary. This paper discusses the problems encountered while operating a TCCON station on Ascension Island, probably the most remote and rough environments in the world for a TCCON instrument at the moment. One of the main components of a TCCON instrument is the solar tracker, ...

Presented are a number of techniques to search for anisotropies in High Resolution Fly’s Eye stereo data collected to date. The method employed to search for point sources is that of shower density sky maps. An integrated version is used to search for larger anisotropies. Finally, large-scale anisotropies are investigated using a harmonic analysis designed to account for HiRes uneven exposure t...

historians seek to learn the nature of the young Scots doctors who came in droves to England throughout the hundred years straddling the first World War, this autobiography will be essential reading. When Sydney Laird's generation was at its most clinically active, a venereologist was jokingly defined as a doctor with many acquaintances but few friends. The joke stops here.

The Medarpa system [Med] is designed to support minimal invasive interventions. A semi-transparent display (Figure 1) has been developed to provide the surgeon with information about the patient’s anatomy as well as to display the instruments at their positions relative to the patient. The optical tracking system – providing the doctor’s and the display’s poses – has been developed during the p...
