Updates on Tsien
I was able to find additional interesting pictures for my page on Tsien. One is with Adolf Busemann, father of swept wings and German / NASA Langley Scientist. Others are interesting like his home in Beijing. I’m currently reviewing a biography, and will make a note when finisihed.

Split-Step Simulations to Assess the Effects of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Turbulence on the Dose Variability of N-Waves and Shaped Booms
My former student, Dr. Alex Carr, along with Dr. J. Lonzaga, who are both of NASA Langley Research Center, and myself published an article on the propagation of sonic boom through the turbulent atmosphere. Abstract: The effects of atmospheric boundary layer turbulence on the loudness variability of a sonic boom N-wave and shaped boom are …
Academic Freedom at Florida CLAS

The website provides information about academic freedom, and I’m impressed by the college’s effort to create the website. It addresses fundamental questions that people often have about academic freedom, tenure, and other …
