So far the stream has under performed compared to predictions of possible G2 class magnetic storms, it has produced only lessor G1 class storms.

FIRST CONTACT WITH THE SOLAR WIND A stream of solar wind wrapped itself around Earth on Oct. First contact turned the Arctic night green. Alan Dyer witnessed the display from the sea surface outside Troms, Norway The arrival of enhanced solar wind from a coronal hole gave us superb auroras, Dyer says. I took the picture from the ferry ship Nordlys well named for chasing the Northern Lights operated by the Hurtigruten ship line. In Lofoten, Norway, citizen scientist Rob Stammes of the Polarlightcenter experienced first contact in a different way. Electricity began to flow through the ground and Stammes magnetic sensors went haywire Last evening the expected solar wind arrived as a kind of shockwave on my instruments just before local midnight. Stammes.  In his plot, the green curve shows ground currents induced by the sudden storminess of the local magnetic field. From that moment of high activity, I waited with eagerness for darkness to fall so I could see the auroras. Realtime Aurora Photo Gallery OPALITE CRYSTAL SPACE PENDANT On Oct. Earth to Sky Calculus launched a space weather balloon from the Sierra Nevada mountains of central California. Its mission to measure cosmic rays at the top of Earths atmosphere. The payload carried an array of X raygamma ray detectors, GPS trackers, temperaturepressure sensors and, for fundraising, opalite crystals With a soothing blue glow that matches the otherworldly color of Earths upper atmosphere, these crystals ascended to an altitude of 3.

Weve been working to streamline our data reduction, allowing us to post results from balloon flights much more rapidly, and we have developed a new data product, shown here This plot displays radiation measurements not only in the stratosphere, but also at aviation altitudes. Dose rates are expessed as multiples of sea level. For instance, we see that boarding a plane that flies at 2. At 4. 0,0. 00 feet, the multiplier is closer to 5. These measurements are made by our usual cosmic ray payload as it passes through aviation altitudes en route to the stratosphere over California. What is this all about Approximately once a week, Spaceweather. Earth to Sky Calculus fly space weather balloons to the stratosphere over California. These balloons are equipped with radiation sensors that detect cosmic rays, a surprisingly down to Earth form of space weather. Cosmic rays can seed clouds, trigger lightning, and penetrate commercial airplanes. Furthermore, there are studies 1, 2, 3, 4 linking cosmic rays with cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in the general population. Our latest measurements show that cosmic rays are intensifying, with an increase of more than 1. Why are cosmic rays intensifying The main reason is the sun. Solar storm clouds such as coronal mass ejections CMEs sweep aside cosmic rays when they pass by Earth. During Solar Maximum, CMEs are abundant and cosmic rays are held at bay. Watch Scooby-Doo! And WWE: Curse Of The Speed Demon Tube Free. Now, however, the solar cycle is swinging toward Solar Minimum, allowing cosmic rays to return. Another reason could be the weakening of Earths magnetic field, which helps protect us from deep space radiation. The radiation sensors onboard our helium balloons detect X rays and gamma rays in the energy range 1. V to 2. 0 Me. V. These energies span the range of medical X ray machines and airport security scanners. The data points in the graph above correspond to the peak of the Reneger Pfotzer maximum, which lies about 6.

Sarbanes and the Big Ten Academic Alliance, recently convened more than 1. Research on the Hill forum focused on strategies to achieve health equity at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D. C. Moderated by Stephen B. Thomas, Ph. D., professor and director of the Maryland Center for Health Equity in the UMD School of Public Health, the panel discussion engaged experts from academia, federal health agencies and the private business sector in a candid conversation about how to eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities among vulnerable populations. Our exploratory research holds the solutions to many of the most challenging problems of our day, said UMD Vice President and Chief Research Officer Patrick G. OShea, Ph. D. As a university, it is our mission to create and understand knowledge to develop better ways to house and heal and fuel and feed our people in advanced societies that are just, secure, and free. Achieving health equity touches on the heal aspect of that mission. The topics ranged from the progress that has been made in access to medical care as a result of the Affordable Care Act ACA to challenges that still remain in improving quality of care and in making the medical care system incorporate public health and address the social determinants of health that prevent people from acting health promotion and disease prevention recommendations. The state of Maryland has embraced the ACA and there is clear evidence that the new incentives are indeed moving hospital systems away from a fee for service business model to one that rewards quality care and positive health outcomes over the volume of procedures, said Thomas. While the transition is not perfect, our state is a national leader for what the future of health care will look like. Panel members shared examples of effective and innovative community based health interventions and public private partnerships that are making a difference through culturally tailored health promotion and disease prevention services, and highlighted the emergence of social determinants of health such as poverty, discrimination and residential segregation as factors that must be overcome. Im convinced that if you address racial and ethnic disparities with respect to the delivery of health care and health care coverage in this country, you will build the best health care system we can possibly have because diversity is our countrys hallmark, said Congressman Sarbanes, who, as a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, has been a tireless advocate for improving healthcare quality and addressing health disparities. To achieve health equity, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders must address broader issues beyond the traditional biomedical model and build trust between those who control health care delivery system and those who have lost hope in the system, said members of the panel. The panelists recommended that health equity be incorporated into all public policies, not just those related to health care, to reduce and ultimately eliminate health disparities. Panel members included Margo Edmunds, Ph. D., Vice President, Evidence Generation and Translation at Academy Health J. Nadine Gracia, M. D., M. S. C. E., Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health and Director of the Office of Minority Health within the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services Julia Huggins, President of Cigna Mid Atlantic Kolawole Okuyemi, M. D., MPH, Professor of the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, Director of the Program in Health Disparities Research and Inaugural Endowed Chair for Health Equity at the University of Minnesota and. Eliseo Prez Stable, M. D., Director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities at the National Institutes of Health. House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer, who represents Marylands 5th Congressional District and is a distinguished UMD alumnus, also joined the event and emphasized that as an interconnected community, we should all care about health disparities. It is unacceptable that in the United States, where all are created equal in the words of our Declaration of Independence, that ones access to healthcare may be higher or lower as a result of race, gender, or income, said Congressman Hoyer. Everybody being healthy is of concern to each and every one of us. He discussed how we must continue to defend the patient protections that Americans are benefiting from thanks to the ACA, such as the no cost access to preventive services like mammograms and immunizations, as well as remind people of the dramatic increase in the number of people, particularly people of color, who now have health coverage as a result. The event was held as part of the University of Marylands Research on the Hill series, which is aimed at raising awareness of research with great societal significance.
