Pink Floyd was a British band whose work began in the late 60s. Roger Waters, the main contributor of the band, wrote almost all the lyrics and was also a main figure behind producing the motion picture of the album. He deliberately attacks Western media in both the lyrics he has written for the band and his solo projects. The present study finds this tendency of assaulting the media deeply roo...

I first came to Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) in the summer of 1939, after completing my junior year at the California Institute of Technology. Roger Revelle was 30 years old, with the rank of instructor (long since abolished by the University of California), and a lieutenant junior grade in the Naval Reserve. Roger invited me to come along on an experiment to measure currents in th...

The amphipod family Pardaliscidae has a worldwide distribution and is considered to be especially common in the deep sea. This is the first record of the genus Nicippe in New Zealand waters and a new species, N. rogeri sp. nov is described in honour of Dr. Roger Bamber. This brings the number of species in the genus Nicippe worldwide to four. The new species is described in detail and a key to ...

Two new species of Munidopsis are described from the wider New Zealand region. Munidopsis bamberi sp. nov. is described from the Havre Trough adjacent to the Kermadec Volcanic Arc north-east of the New Zealand continental shelf, and is named in honour of Roger Bamber for his contributions to arthropod taxonomy and systematics. The second species is M. sculpo sp. nov. from Forde Seamount on the ...

The effects of anisotropic turbulence on the wander and spreading of Gaussian-Schell model beams propagating in non-Kolmogorov marine-atmospheric channel are investigated. Expressions for beam wander and long-term beam spreading are derived in all conditions of marine-atmospheric turbulence. Our results indicate that the beam wander and spreading of Gaussian-Schell model beams are lower in the ...

The search for viable eBusiness models continues. But important information is being overlooked. Discussions of open source software all too often focus on the limited context of Microsoft appearing to feel threatened by what it portrays as unbusinesslike competition from Linux and OpenOffice.org; whereas that debate is merely one small facet of the whole. Moreover, in addition to software, a g...

Megadamania The global desire to develop energyhungry industries and Western lifestyles, combined with the necessity to do so without further increasing the use of fossil fuels, has led to a massive spree of dam building around the world. A recent assessment by Christiane Zarfl from the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries at Berlin, Germany, and colleagues estimates tha...
