Review of NOAA Working Group Report on Maintaining the Continuation of Long-term Satellite Total Solar Irradiance Observation

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSolar irradiance is a vital source of energy input for the Earth's climate system and its variability has the potential to mitigate or exacerbate a human-created climate. Maintaining an unbroken record of Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) is critical in resolving ongoing debates regarding the potential role of solar variability in influencing Earth's climate. Space-borne instruments have acquired TSI data since 1978. Currently, the best calibrated and lowest noise source of TSI measurements is the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) onboard NASA's Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE). These TIM-era data are of higher quality than the older data in the full record. Thus, the TSI climate data record (CDR) has two components. There is the shorter, but more accurate record of the TIM era and the full (33+ year) space-based TSI measurement record. Both are important and require preservation. Review of NOAA Working Group Report on Maintaining the Continuation of Long-Term Satellite Total Irradiance Observations evaluates NOAA's plan for mitigating the loss of total solar irradiance measurements from space, given the likelihood of losing this capacity from instruments currently on the SORCE satellite in coming years and the short term/experimental nature of the currently identified method of filling the data gap. This report evaluates NOAA's plan for mitigating the gap in total solar irradiance data.

A Review of the Draft Report of the NCI-CDC Working Group to Revise the 1985 Radioepidemiological Tables

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe National Research Council was asked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to review the draft report of the National Cancer Institute (NCI)-CDC's working group charged with revising the 1985 radioepidemiological tables. To this end, a subcommittee was formed consisting of members of the Council's Committee on an Assessment of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Radiation Programs and other experts. The original tables were mandated under Public Law 97-414 (the "Orphan Drug Act") and were intended to provide a means of estimating the probability that a person who developed any of a series of radiation-related cancers, developed the cancer as a result of a specific radiation dose received before the onset of the cancer. The mandate included a provision for periodic updating of the tables. The motivation for the current revision reflects the availability of new data, especially on cancer incidence, and new methods of analysis, and the need for a more thorough treatment of uncertainty in the estimates than was attempted in the original tables.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report contains the main discussion points and general conclusions and recommendations from the third session of the Working Group convened from 20-21 August 2019 in FAO headquarters, Rome, Italy. The working group considered a range of issues including: a brief review of the process of preparation of the first report on The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture; (SoWAqGR); the preparation of a GPA on AqGR (GPA); the development of a global information system on aquatic genetic resources including a registry of farmed types; the development of a strategic approach to work on AqGR at FAO; and reviewed its terms of reference (ToR) and update its workplan. A series of recommendations were made to FAO and to the Committee on Fisheries’ sub-committee on aquaculture.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWomen have been allowed to attend U.S. military academies since the mid-1970s. This Congressional report from 2003 outlines a well-known case of sexual misconduct that several female cadets experienced at the Air Force Academy. Sexual harassment and assault continue to be a significant threat to women who serve in the armed forces. According to a 2011 report in Newsweek, a woman is more likely to experience a sexual assault by a fellow soldier than to die in combat.
