Tomanek Hall: Newspaper, two editorials about the new physical sciences building
Editorial by President Hammond criticized the Hays Daily News for their stand that the new physical sciences building is not needed; editorial by Senator Dole explains why he had the physical science building as part of the Energy and Water Appropriations bill.https://scholars.fhsu.edu/tomanek/1040/thumbnail.jp
Interview with Bob Dole by Brien Williams
Biographical NoteRobert J. “Bob” Dole was born July 22, 1923, in Russell, Kansas, and attended the University of Kansas. He served with distinction in World War II, and after the war earned his law degree at Washburn School of Law. He was elected as a Republican to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1961, serving until 1969, when he ran for the U.S. Senate. He won and held that seat until 1996, when he became the Republican Party’s 1996 presidential nominee. He was on the Finance Committee and was minority leader when George Mitchell was majority leader; in 1994 he became Senate majority leader. At the time of this interview, he served as special counsel in the law firm Alston & Bird.
SummaryInterview includes discussion of: relationship with Senator Mitchell; when Mitchell emerged as a potential leader; comparison of working with Mitchell and Byrd; Mitchell’s partisanship; relationship with Mitchell when Bill Clinton succeeded George Bush; health care reform; Dole’s meetings with George Mitchell; Dole’s and Mitchell’s working together to pass the ADA bill; reaction when Mitchell announced his retirement; Mitchell’s legacy; working at Verner Liipfert law firm with Mitchell; working on a bipartisan nonprofit healthcare effort with Mitchell (Bipartisan Policy Center); and George Mitchell’s legacy
Suppression of the water ice and snow albedo feedback on planets orbiting red dwarf stars and the subsequent widening of the habitable zone
M-stars comprise 80% of main-sequence stars, and so their planetary systems
provide the best chance for finding habitable planets, i.e.: those with surface
liquid water. We have modelled the broadband albedo or reflectivity of water
ice and snow for simulated planetary surfaces orbiting two observed red dwarf
stars (or M-stars) using spectrally resolved data of the Earth's cryosphere.
The gradual reduction of the albedos of snow and ice at wavelengths greater
than 1 ?m, combined with M-stars emitting a significant fraction of their
radiation at these same longer wavelengths, mean that the albedos of ice and
snow on planets orbiting M-stars are much lower than their values on Earth. Our
results imply that the ice/snow albedo climate feedback is significantly weaker
for planets orbiting M-stars than for planets orbiting G-type stars such as the
Sun. In addition, planets with significant ice and snow cover will have
significantly higher surface temperatures for a given stellar flux if the
spectral variation of cryospheric albedo is considered, which in turn implies
that the outer edge of the habitable zone around M-stars may be 10-30% further
away from the parent star than previously thought.Comment: Final accepted by Astrobiology, 20 pages (double spaced), 3 figures
