δ Orionis: Further temporal variability and evidence for small-scale structure in the interstellar medium
No full textWe report here the detection of both spatial and temporal variations in interstellar absorption in the line of sight to δ Orionis. First, we present new high-resolution (R≈110 000) observations of the interstellar D lines of Na i towards both δ Ori A and C. Comparison of these spectra highlights variations in absorption between the two stars, indicative of small-scale spatial structure in the interstellar medium in this direction over distances of less than ≈15 000 au (the projected separation of the two stars). Components with the largest Na i column densities and lowest velocity dispersions are, in general, found to be subject to the greatest differences; in fact the narrowest component detected is only observed in one of the sightlines. This effect has also been reported by Meyer & Blades. Secondly, we present new ultra-high-resolution (R≈900 000) Na i D1 observations and high-resolution (R≈110 000) Ca ii H & K observations of δ Ori A which, through ultra-high-resolution work conducted between 1994 and 2000, has been shown to exhibit a time-variable interstellar Na i absorption component. These new observations, while revealing the further reduction in intensity of the time-variable Na i absorption, indicate constant Ca ii absorption over the same period. This results in a dramatic reduction in the Na°/Ca+ abundance ratio, perhaps indicating the line of sight to be gradually probing a less-dense outer region of an absorbing filament

Dear friends,
Again I am indebted to you for another kindness bestowed, and would like to express my sincere appreciation. The tobacco arrived yesterday in good condition.
My course here at Harvard ends in another month. We have leave for approximately two weeks before reporting to our Naval District to pick up our orders. They claim that we may work under temporary duty for a short time in the home district (Boston is mine) before being shipped out. I will endeavor to keep you informed of my adventures, and if at all possible, will call at Bryant, the early part of May.
Again let me thank you for the package, and remember me to all the staff and faculty.
As ever,J. B. Howarth

Dear friends,
This is to inform you of change of address. I was detached from the Norfolk Navy Yard on February 20 and reported here March 1 after spending almost ten months in Virginia.
This course in Communications fitting us for sea duty or advanced base work is specialized and will last approximately three to four months; therefore, you can send any data to the above address until July 1.
Lt. Shors wanted to be remembered to you all. He was assisting the officers at the Yard with their Income Tax problems when I left, and completed mine just before my detachment.
Say hello to Mr. Gardner Jacobs, Mr. Ripley, Rita, George Richards and any of the old regime.
Sincerely,Ens. J. B. Howarth[Transcription ends

A new look at the pathogenesis of asthma
No full textAsthma is an inflammatory disorder of the conducting airways that has strong association with allergic sensitization. The disease is characterized by a polarized Th-2 (T-helper-2)-type T-cell response, but in general targeting this component of the disease with selective therapies has been disappointing and most therapy still relies on bronchodilators and corticosteroids rather than treating underlying disease mechanisms. With the disappointing outcomes of targeting individual Th-2 cytokines or manipulating T-cells, the time has come to re-evaluate the direction of research in this disease. A case is made that asthma has its origins in the airways themselves involving defective structural and functional behaviour of the epithelium in relation to environmental insults. Specifically, a defect in barrier function and an impaired innate immune response to viral infection may provide the substrate upon which allergic sensitization takes place. Once sensitized, the repeated allergen exposure will lead to disease persistence. These mechanisms could also be used to explain airway wall remodelling and the susceptibility of the asthmatic lung to exacerbations provoked by respiratory viruses, air pollution episodes and exposure to biologically active allergens. Variable activation of this epithelial-mesenchymal trophic unit could also lead to the emergence of different asthma phenotypes and a more targeted approach to the treatment of these. It also raises the possibility of developing treatments that increase the lung's resistance to the inhaled environment rather than concentrating all efforts on trying to suppress inflammation once it has become established.<br/
