Mathematical Sciences Research Institute

Le Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) est un institut de recherche en mathématiques situé sur le campus de l'université Berkeley. Il a été fondé en 1982. Les locaux du MSRI sont situés en haut de la colline de Berkeley et une des terrasses du MSRI donne sur la baie de San Francisco, face au pont du Golden Gate. L'équipe administrative du MSRI est composée d'environ vingt personnes. Il n'y a pas de chercheur permanent au MSRI. Activités Le MSRI accueille des séminaires courts (une semaine) sur des thèmes liés aux mathématiques. Le MSRI organise aussi ses propres événements et héberge 20 à 30 post-doctorants chaque année. L'institut organise quatre programmes d'un semestre par an (deux par semestre) pendant lesquels des chercheurs confirmés et des post-doctorants travaillent ensemble. Ces thématiques sont sélectionnées par le comité de conseil scientifique (Scientific advisory committee). Environ 2 000 mathématiciens passent au MSRI chaque année. Le MSRI organise des séminaires destinés aux mathématiciens issus des minorités (Noirs, Hispaniques, femmes) et cherche à mettre en avant les contributions de ces mathématiciens. L'auditorium Simons héberge aussi des concerts de musique classique ainsi que des conférences généralistes autour des mathématiques : le mathématicien Robert Osserman y débat avec des artistes influencés par les mathématiques comme Philip Glass, Steve Martin, Tom Stoppard et Alan Alda. Des conférences ont lieu sur l'enseignement des mathématiques aux élèves. Le MSRI collabore également avec des auteurs pour inciter à l'écriture de nouvelles et de films autour des mathématiques. Histoire L'idée de créer de nouveaux instituts de recherche en mathématiques prend corps dans les années 1970 car l’Institute for Advanced Study de l'université de Princeton est trop exigu pour la communauté mathématique des États-Unis. Le 22 mai 1981, le conseil d'administration de la Fondation nationale pour la science décide de la création de deux nouveaux instituts de recherche en mathématique : le MSRI et l'Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications à l'université du Minnesota. Le problème du financement est résolu quand la NSF accepte d'augmenter son budget alloué aux mathématiques. Le MSRI est fondé en 1982 par trois mathématiciens : Shiing-Shen Chern, Calvin C. Moore et Isadore Singer. Le MSRI est indépendant de l'université de Californie. Le financement du MSRI repose sur la Fondation nationale pour la science, sur des donneurs privés (don de 10 millions de dollars de Jim Simmons en 2007) et sur 93 institutions universitaires. Directeurs du MSRI 1982-1984 : Shiing-Shen Chern 1984-1992 : Irving Kaplansky 1992-1997 : William Thurston 1997-2007 : David Eisenbud 2007-2013 : Robert Bryant (en) 2013-2022 : David Eisenbud 2022- : Tatiana Toro.

Henry Ford Bridge (1924)

Die Henry Ford Bridge, auch nur Ford Bridge, Cerritos Channel Bridge oder Badger Avenue Bridge, ist eine Klappbrücke über den Cerritos Channel in Long Beach im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien, die 1924 eröffnet wurde und 1996 durch eine Hubbrücke ersetzt wurde. Sie war eine der letzten von Joseph Baermann Strauss gebauten Eisenbahn-Doppel-Klappbrücken in Nordamerika. Lage Die Brücke führte über den Cerritos Channel und verband das Festland mit dem Terminal Island, wo sich bis 1997 der Long Beach Naval Shipyard, eine Werft der amerikanischen Kriegsmarine, befand. Über die Brücke führte die Harbor Belt Line, die Hafenbahn von Los Angeles. Östlich der Henry Ford Bridge stand die Commodore Schuyler F. Heim Bridge, kurz Heim Bridge genannt, die 1948 erbaut wurde und dem Straßenverkehr diente. Auch diese Brücke wurde in den Jahren 2015 bis 2020 durch einen Neubau ersetzt. Geschichte Die Hafenbehörde vergab den Bau der Brücke im Oktober 1922 an die Strauss Bascule Bridge Company, die ihn in den Jahren 1923 bis 1924 durch die American Bridge Company durchführen ließ. Die Baukosten beliefen sich auf 980.000 US-Dollar. Bei Eröffnung war die Brücke eine der größten und massivsten Konstruktionen ihrer Art. Die Brücke diente bis zum Bau der Heim Bridge nicht nur dem Bahnverkehr, sondern auch dem Straßenverkehr. Bauwerk Die Ford Bridge ist eine in Stahlfachwerkbauweise nach der Bauart Strauss ausgeführte Klappbrücke mit zwei beweglichen Brückendecks. Jedes Brückendeck hat eine Länge von 110 Fuß (ca. 34 m), dahinter befindet sich beidseitig ein massiver Brückenteil von 50 Fuß (ca. 15 m) Länge, der den über der Fahrbahn liegenden Drehzapfen des Gegengewichts trägt. Beidseits des mittleren Klappbrückenteils schließen sich Vorbrücken von 220 Fuß (ca. 67 m) Länge an. Das gesamte Bauwerk hat eine Länge von 760 Fuß (ca. 232 m).

Fresno Adventist Academy

Fresno Adventist Academy (FAA) is a K-12 school in Fresno, California owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Established in 1897, FAA is the only Seventh-day Adventist high school in the surrounding area. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system, overseen by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists located in Silver Spring, Maryland. History Original campuses Fresno Adventist Academy began as a church school at the Fresno Central Church in 1897 on Mariposa and O streets, in what later became downtown Fresno. The first non-graded classroom was filled with a dozen students and conducted by Lottie Walker. In 1917, George Driver (a member of the Fresno Central Church) donated five acres of land at 841 West Belmont. A school was built for the elementary and secondary grades at Fruit and Napa avenues, near Roeding Park. It was a ten-grade school until 1921, when grades 11 and 12 were added. By 1955, the enrollment had increased to 110 students in the elementary school program and 91 students in the academy. Current campus on Olive Avenue Elder L. R. Rasmussen and Elder W. O. Baldwin advised that the school be expanded and rebuilt. 40 acres were bought at 5397 East Olive Avenue. In 1967, phase 1 of the building program was completed; the K-6th grades were ready to be housed. In 1969 school moved to a new location on East Olive Avenue. In December 1971, the 7th and 8th grades were able to transfer to the new campus. Phase 2 of the building program was to be completed after 1972. In the 90s, a new multipurpose building was constructed thanks to donations from Alumni Del Webb's foundation and Businessman Pat Richiuti. The campus includes a 13-acre (5.3 ha) organic farm run by a small local team with the student's help, called Harvest Fields Organic Farm. The farm sells fruits and vegetables through a community-supported agriculture box program. Religious life All students take religion classes each year that they are enrolled. These classes cover topics in biblical history and Christian and denominational doctrines. Instructors in other disciplines also begin each class period with prayer or a short devotional thought, many of which encourage student input. Weekly, the entire student body gathers together in the chapel room for an hour-long chapel service. Outside the classrooms there is year-round spiritually-oriented programming that relies on student involvement. This includes student-initiated mission trips, most recently to the Philippines in 2019. Notable alumni Del Webb — construction, co-owner of the New York Yankees Darry Manning — class of 1994, nonprofit activist and bearer of the Olympic torch Morris Venden — Seventh-day Adventist preacher, teacher, and author References External links Official website Private School Review

Pillar Point Air Force Station

Pillar Point Air Force Station, formerly Pillar Point Military Reservation, is a United States Space Force facility, situated on 48 acres atop the coastal promontory Pillar Point, near the community of Princeton-by-the-Sea, California. The station overlooks Pillar Point Harbor and Mavericks Beach to the east and Pillar Point Bluff to the west. Pillar Point is 15 miles south of the City of San Francisco in San Mateo County. The facility was built and founded on October 10, 1940, as part of the World War II harbor defenses of San Francisco, as there was concern that Japan might attack San Francisco. Large artillery, .50-caliber machine guns for anti-aircraft defense, searchlights, barracks, concrete bunkers, cyclone fences, and an electric system were installed for defensive measures. In June 1944, a short-range UHF Surface Craft Detection Radar System, model SCR-296, built by Western Electric Company was installed. The SCR-296 could detect and track seagoing surface craft. After the war, on January 17, 1946, the radar system was removed. In 1949 the Military Reservation was closed. The US Navy opened the base on September 4, 1959, as a missile tracking station in support of Naval Air Station Point Mugu's Regulus missile program and later Minuteman missiles. In the 1960s the base was transferred to the US Air Force, which then maintained the missile tracking station. From 1967 to 1972, the station tracked Minuteman II missiles. The current tracking units are AN/FPQ-6 and AN/MPS-36 radars systems, which are C-band radar from the Western Range (USSF) of Vandenberg Air Force Base. Pillar Point is presently used by the United States Space Force for tracking polar-orbiting space satellite and operational intercontinental ballistic missiles launched from Vandenberg, the United States Navy, and the United States Air Force Special Operations Command. Breakwaters were installed in 1961 and a second in 1982 to protect the area from erosion, with mixed results. The peninsula is 0.3 miles (483 m) wide and 0.25 miles (402 m) long, with an elevation from 80 to 180 ft (24 to 55 m). It is connected to the coast by a narrow isthmus on the northeastern side, with Pillar Point Bluff, a county park, almost perpendicular to it. In the 19th century, the land where Pillar Point Air Force Station now resides was part of Rancho Corral de Tierra. It was given to Francisco Guerrero y Palomares by Mexico before California became a US state in 1850. The area was used for farming and grassland pasture until World War II. Just north of the base was Half Moon Bay Flight Strip, an auxiliary airfield for Salinas Army Air Base training used during the war. The Half Moon Bay Flight Strip is now Eddie Andreini Sr. Airfield. There is a prehistoric artifact site, CA-SMA-151, at the station, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
