Space and Cosmic Ray Physics Seminar What: Dr Regina J. Cody, Goddard Astrochemistry Branch (code 691) will present on 'Laboratory Chemical Research Applied to the Atmospheres of the Outer Planets.' This talk will give an overview of the chemistry, especially hydrocarbon chemistry, of the Outer Planetary atmospheres and then discuss several laboratory studies we have recently finished. The rate constant for the recombination of methyl radicals was measured to help resolve the discrepancy in methyl radical column density between observations and photochemical models of the atmospheres of Saturn and Neptune. The rate constant for the reaction of hydrogen atoms with cyanoacetylene was measured for the first time for the atmosphere of the Saturnian moon Titan, where there is a discrepancy between the results of observations and photochemical models. When/Where: Monday, Nov 17 at 4:30 p.m., University of Maryland, Computer and Space Sciences Building in room 2400. Tea and cookies will be from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Space and Cosmic Ray Physics Seminars are sponsored by the Department of Physics, University of Maryland, and the Institute for Physical Science and Technology, University of Maryland For more information: Matthew Hill at (301) 405-6209 or go to the following website, http://space.umd.edu/seminars/Fall_2003_Seminar.html

Information Science & Technology (IS&T) Colloquium What: Dr. Cliff Joslyn, will talk about Ontologies for Knowledge-Based Science: Building a Computational Semiotics. Knowledge structures called "ontologies" have become famous recently by promising to provide web agents the means to reason about and navigate the nascent "Semantic Web." But ontologies have many aspects, and when cast as large, hierarchical, taxonomically organized, publicly accessible, dynamic data objects, they are also becoming increasingly important in knowledge-based sciences. When/Where: Wednesday, Nov 18 at 3:30 p.m. in the Goett Auditorium, bldg 3 (Refreshments at 3 p.m.) For more
