Oswald Hurt Saunders Collection
No full textOswald Hurt Saunders graduated from the Maryland Agricultural College in 1910 with a degree in Civil Engineering. This collection contains the 1909 field book of Saunders, presumably kept for a class assignment, including maps and diagrams, statistics, elevation data for the athletic fields, and notations on land surveys taken around the College Park campus. Several other members of the Class of 1910 are listed in the field book as assisting Saunders in his survey: Herschel H. Allen, William P. Cole, William J. Frere, and Jackson P. Grason

Varieties of Divergence: A Response to Saunders and Wallace
No full textI continue to maintain that David Lewis’s concept of overlapping persons cannot yield pre-measurement uncertainty in the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics in the way that Simon Saunders and David Wallace originally seemed to suggest. However, I argue that in their reply to me they make it clear that they do not wish to invoke overlap of persons after all. That makes it mysterious why they defended their interpretation of personal overlap in the first place and questionable what role overlap has to play in their proposal. If Everettian branching can be understood to involve the divergence of distinct, non-overlapping worlds a concept of pre-measurement uncertainty is available. That idea was first proposed by David Deutsch but required an ad hoc postulate. Saunders has recently suggested that a similar scheme arises naturally out of the physics. If correct, that is important as it offers escape from some bizarre consequences of current alternative ways of understanding probability in the Everett interpretatio
Heartbeat Horizon: Saunders\u27s Presentation to Executive Board of Directors Sept. 2012
No full textSpeech/presentation by Saunders to the Board of Directors. Outlines how Heartbeat changed Saunders\u27s view of God, Jesus, the Bible, and the church; the importance of vision and the compelling drive of Heartbeat\u27s vision; and a proposal for Heartbeat for the next three years of 2012-2015 and the role Saunders feels he should play. Future goals include a book Saunders wants to author, a Heartbeat Institute, and a plan for laying up content and marketing it to a wide audience.

An empirical model of long-term thermospheric density change
No full textPredicting the positions of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) requires a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic nature of the atmosphere. For objects in LEO the most significant orbit perturbation is atmospheric drag, which is a function of the local atmospheric density from a layer in the atmosphere called the thermosphere. For long-term predictions of satellite orbits and ephemerides, any density trend in the thermosphere is a necessary consideration, not only for satellite operators, but also for studies of the future LEO environment in terms of space debris. Numerous studies of long-term thermospheric density change have been performed.Predictions by Roble & Ramesh (2002), along with evidence by Keating (2000), Emmert et al.(2004), Marcos et al. (2005), Qian et al. (2006) and Emmert et al. (2008), strongly suggest the existence of such a phenomenon. Therefore, the objective of the research presented in this thesis is to provide a novel method to evaluate quantitatively thermospheric density change. Satellite drag data is an effective medium through which one can investigate local thermospheric density and changes thereof. There are many ways of determining atmospheric density, but inferring thermospheric density from satellite drag data is a relatively cost-effective way of gathering in-situ measurements. To do this, knowledge about a satellite’s physical properties that are intrinsic to atmospheric drag is required. A study by Saunders et al. (2009) highlighted problems with estimating a satellite’s physical properties directly from data given explicitly by Two-Line Element (TLE) sets. This prompted an investigation into ways to estimate ballistic coefficients: a required satellite parameter associated with drag coefficient and area-to-mass ratio. A novel way of estimating satellite ballistic coefficients was derived and is presented in this thesis. Additionally, novel consideration of atmospheric chemical composition was applied on long-term drag coefficient variability. Using a quantitative estimate of a ballistic coefficient one can propagate numerically a satellite’s orbit and predict the effects of atmospheric drag. Given an initial satellite orbit from TLE data, one approach is to use an orbital propagator to predict the satellite’s state at some time ahead and then to compare that state with TLE data at the same epoch. The difference between the semi-major axes of the initial orbit and that after the orbit propagation is then integrated and can be used to estimate the global average density. The method employed in this study utilises this process. To achieve this, a specially developed, computer-based, numerical orbital propagator was written in the programming language C/C++. The underlying theories and implementation tests for this propagator are presented in this thesis
Oral History Interview with Allyn Saunders - Alumnus on Botanical Gardens
No full textThis interview, conducted by Gordon Patterson on August 5, 2025, features Allyn Saunders, a Florida Institute of Technology alumnus with a long and storied history with the university. Mr. Saunders initially arrived at Florida Tech in 1972 to study oceanography, drawn by the school\u27s location and reputation. After a year, he switched his major to the burgeoning management program, eventually earning three degrees: a B.S. in Management Science, an MBA, and a Master\u27s in Contracts and Acquisition Management.
The core of the interview focuses on Mr. Saunders\u27 experiences working in the university\u27s botanical gardens from 1972 to 1976. As a student employee in the facilities department, he became an understudy to university President Dr. Jerome P. Keuper, who had a deep, personal passion for the gardens. Mr. Saunders recounts numerous anecdotes, including planting seeds from the Palm Society in old cafeteria vegetable cans, the meticulous process of relocating mature palms donated to the university, and the constant challenge of learning the correct Latin botanical names for the plants to satisfy Dr. Keuper. He shares detailed stories about protecting a prized palm with heating blankets during a frost, digging a large hole for a donated tree for two days, and his ambitious project of planting 75 Royal Palms. Mr. Saunders also discusses his ideas for the gardens, such as mapping the collection and placing potted plants in offices, and Dr. Keuper\u27s pragmatic reasons for rejecting them. The interview provides a vivid, firsthand account of the development of the botanical gardens, the hands-on involvement of Dr. Keuper, and the unique campus atmosphere of Florida Tech in the 1970s
