The Epic of Palaeobotany-454 Umbrella of British Palaeobotany (45) 先当院士后当教授的英国孢粉学家、生态学家 Sir Harry Godwin FRS (1901--1985) SPS-454-Harry Godwin-rev2.pdf
位于美国亚利桑那州东北部的化石森林国家公园（ Petrified Forest National Park）是世界上最大的化石木（硅化木）保护区，其独特的自然景观吸引着世界各地的游客。公园内三叠纪“Chinle” 地层（Chinle Formation ，距今大约2.25亿年）富含木化石。那些沉睡亿年的木化石表明这个广袤而苍茫的地质公园曾经是充满生机的绿色大森林。 美国古植物学家 Lyman Harry Daugherty (1894-??-)是研究亚利桑那木化石的代表人物之一。Lyman Harry Daugherty 1925年毕业于斯坦福大学，获得硕士学位，主要研究树木生长和细胞生长的关系。之后，Lyman Harry Daugherty 主要供职于加州San Jos State College，从事古植物学和孢粉学的教学和科研。 根据公开文献， 1933年Lyman Harry Daugherty 和美国古植物学家Ralph Works Chaney (1890--1971)合作，在当时的中国地质学英文期刊 -- Bulletin of the Geological Society of China （《中国地质学会汇报》）发表论文，报道了产自北京周口店的豆科紫荆属植物化石（ Cercis ）。两位作者选择中国的学术期刊，可能是考虑便于中国地区的同行参考。 1941年，Lyman Harry Daugherty与热爱地质公园的博物学家Howard R. Stagner（1907--1995）合作，发表了系统研究亚利桑那州木化石的古植物学专著。 时光飞逝。也许 Lyman Harry Daugherty和他的著作早已被世人遗忘 …… ∮1 教育背景 A.B.1924;M.A. 1925, Stanford University Lyman Harry Daugherty在斯坦福大学完成的硕士学位论文基本信息 ： Title: Tree growth as afunction of cell growth Author: Lyman Harry Daugherty Publisher: 1925.

古植物学的故事（100） 美国古植物学是如何崛起的？(之七) 古植物学家的古植物学家 (palaeobotanist's palaeobotanist)-- Harry Dunlap MacGinitie (1896--1987) 孙启高 2011年元月4日写于美国康州 本期《古植物学的故事》的期号比较特别---本期是第100期，但实际上为第101期，因为期号是从零开始的！可是，我自己认为本期《古植物学的故事》的真正特别之处在于题目和人物---古植物学家的古植物学家 Harry Dunlap MacGinitie (1896--1987)！题目直接来自英文palaeobotanist's palaeobotanist，这种说法不是我的创造(coin)，而是出自美国著名古植物学家Jack A. Wolfe (1936--2005)的一篇文章。 我对已故Jack A. Wolfe教授是非常感激的。在我涉猎新生代植物研究的初期，他曾给予我很多帮助。有一年冬天，他将他的所有论著(单行本)装在一个大纸箱里邮寄给我。我很有兴趣地阅读了他于1987年发表的一篇回忆性文章，该文怀念美国著名古植物学H. D. MacGinitie： Wolfe, JA, 1987, Memorial to Harry D. MacGinitie: Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, v. 74, p. 684688. Jack A. Wolfe非常博学，为人与为学非常坦率。他在文章中对H. D. MacGinitie的学术成就给予很高评价，认为H. D. MacGinitie是古植物学家的古植物学家。 我建议对古植物学研究有兴趣、有激情的朋友们抽时间读一读Jack A. Wolfe撰写的文章。 20世纪，美国加州大学伯克莱分校(Berkeley)是第三纪古植物学研究的圣地，涌现了一批杰出的古植物学家，其中R. W. Chaney (1890--1971)是世界古植物学的学术领袖之一。Jack A. Wolfe在他的文章中回忆了他与R. W. Chaney 和H. D. MacGinitie的交往。 1933年，H. D. MacGinitie到加州大学伯克莱分校跟随R. W. Chaney 从事古植物学研究，攻读博士学位。1936年，H. D. MacGinitie毕业，他的博士论文题目是：The flora of the Weaverville beds, Trinity County, California（论文提交时间为1936年5月）。毕业后，他继续在伯克莱分校工作，直到1970年退休。 按照Jack A. Wolfe的评价，H. D. MacGinitie一生的论著不多，主要有： 1936 The flora of the Weaverville beds, Trinity County, California 1941 A Middle Eocene flora from the central Sierra Nevada 1953 Fossil plants of the Florissant beds, Colorado 1962 The Kilgore flora 1969 The Eocene Green River flora of northwestern Colorado and northeastern Utah 1974 An early middle Eocene flora from the Yellowstone-Absaroka volcanic province, northwestern Wind River Basin, Wyoming 但是，我认为H. D. MacGinitie的研究非常深入而全面，特别注重研究工作的系统性，他的著作比较厚重，少而精。如果H. D. MacGinitie有意将他的专著分成若干小文章发表，那么他的出版物清单会很长！ H. D. MacGinitie的学术成就与水准主要体现在A Middle Eocene flora from the central Sierra Nevada和Fossil plants of the Florissant beds, Colorado等有长期影响的学术专著中，尤其是后者为H. D. MacGinitie奠定了很高的学术地位。H. D. MacGinitie是学界的楷模，是后学的榜样！ - Harry MacGinitie splits shale at Florissant with a rock hammer and butcher knife. Photo credit: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/science/parks/images/fl_mac600.jpg - H. D. MacGinitie关于科罗拉多Florissant地层中植物化石的研究是一个非常好的古植物学的故事。19361937年，H. D. MacGinitie开始采集和研究Florissant地层的植物化石。直到1953年他才正式发表一本非常经典的学术专著，对该地层的植物群进行了系统的修订，并且对有关古气候、古地理和古生态问题进行了很细致的讨论。 - From left to right: Harry MacGinitie, Jack Wolfe and Herb Meyer at Berkeley circa 1980. 古植物学博士Herbert W. Meyer1986年毕业于伯克莱. Photo credit: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/science/parks/images/fl_macjackherb538.jpg 值得一提的是，Jack A. Wolfe与伯克莱古植物学圣地有很深的学术渊源。1957年，Jack a Wolfe到伯克莱攻读古植物学博士学位，他的指导老师由3人组成：Wayne L. Fry, A.S. Foster and Herbert L. Mason（1896-1994）。1959年，Jack a Wolfe获得古生物学的硕士学位，他的论文题目是：The Tertiary Juglandaceae of Western North America。1960年，Jack a Wolfe获得博士学位，他的博士论文题目是：Early Miocene floras of northwest Oregon。如果我们用心研读Jack A. Wolfe一生发表的著作，我们会发现他像H. D. MacGinitie那样具有真正的学者风范。Jack A. Wolfe的许多专著让人感到敬畏，他也是古植物学家的古植物学家！ ------------------------

Cheng, Professor University of California, Davis Email: hhcheng@ucdavis.edu Web: http://iel.ucdavis.edu/people/cheng.html Time: 3:00pm-4:00pm, July 1, 2009 Host: Dr. Maosong Sun, Professor and Chair ( 孙 茂松教授, 系主任) Department of Computer Science Tsinghua University Tel: +86-10-6278-1286 Email: sms@tsinghua.edu.cn Abstract: Embedded scripting is increasingly gaining popularity in design of software systems and applications. In the programming paradigm of embedded scripting, an interpreter or scripting engine is embedded into a binary application program. The application can execute script code through the embedded interpreter. The script code can also invoke binary code. As an application example, by using scripts, executed at the defined points from the application, customer or product specific behaviors can be implemented. As another example, modern engineering systems such as intelligent mechatronic and embedded systems are increasingly becoming complex. However, most existing systems were designed with static and customized architectures, which are inflexible to operate and interact. In addition, many systems, such as network sensors, have long life span. Once deployed, they may not be physically reachable. Hence, the ability to be reprogrammable, or in-situ programming, is critical to systems such as automated testing systems, intelligent mechatronic and embedded systems operating in a dynamically changing environment with uncertainty. An embeddable computing engine is an ideal solution to address this challenge. It allows a system in-situ programmable. Mobile agent technology is also emerging as a key concept in building highly distributed, autonomous, scalable, and collaborative intelligent mechatronic and embedded systems. It allows deployment and execution of mobile code dynamically in response to events unanticipated at the design stage. The concept of agents is widely applicable in distributed systems for intelligent monitoring and condition assessment, proactive control, predictive maintenance, autonomous sensor fusion, autonomous robotic control, dynamic system reconfiguration, grid computing, autonomic computing, and cloud computing. In this seminar, first, recent research advances and development challenges of embeddable computing engines and mobile agent technology will be presented. Then, the design and implementation of an ISO C standard compliant embeddable C/C++ interpreter called Ch will be presented. Many new features, such as complex numbers, variable length arrays (VLAs), and generic functions, first implemented in Ch became part of the latest C standard called C99 to make C more suitable for applications in engineering and science. In addition, Ch contains all salient features of MATLAB for graphical plotting and numerical computing. Ch can also be seamlessly embedded in other applications as a C/C++ scripting engine for in-situ programming, especially for mechantronic and embedded systems. Next, the design and implementation of an open-source mobile agent system called Mobile-C ( http://www.mobilec.org ) is then introduced. The C/C++ interpreter Ch is embedded into Mobile-C to handle mobile C/C++ agent code. Mobile-C supports both stationary and mobile agents, and is especially designed to support C/C++ mobile agents in networked intelligent mechatronic and embedded systems. Both Ch and Mobile-C have been widely used in academia and industries including Lockheed Martin, LG Electronics, Agilent, ABB, TeleCommunication Systems, FunctionBay, and Sandia National Labs to automate the industry processes, control of robots, equipment, emergency 911 call, and homeland and national security. Applications of Ch and Mobile-C for task-level control of a robot workcell with multiple manipulators, bio-inspired mobile robots, intelligent sensor nodes with tiny embedded computers for real-time monitoring and control will be demonstrated. In this seminar, how to use a Ch-based teaching platform ( http://iel.ucdavis.edu/cfores ) for teaching and learning computer programming in C will also be presented. The teaching platform consists of the Ch computing environment with both command shell and user-friendly IDE called ChIDE, a textbook on introductory computer programming in C ( http://www.mhhe.com/cheng ) with over 350 fully-documented complete sample code and 500 well-designed exercises, over 1400 PowerPoint slides for classroom presentation, over 200 PowerPoint slides for discussion sessions, and Instructor's Guide including solutions and source code for exercises. Experience indicates that this C/C++ interpreter based teaching platform increases the effectiveness of teaching computer programming for real-world problem solving and lowers the barrier for beginners to learn computer programming in C ( http://iel.ucdavis.edu/publication/2009/Ch4Teaching.pdf ).
