Robert Oppenheimer (April 22, 1904 February 18, 1967) was an American theoretical physicist and professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. He is best known for his role as the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, the World War II effort to develop the first nuclear weapons at the secret Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. For this reason he is remembered as "The Father of the Atomic Bomb". In reference to the Trinity test in New Mexico, where his Los Alamos team first tested the bomb, Oppenheimer famously recalled the Bhagavad Gita: "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one." and "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." After the war Oppenheimer was a chief advisor to the newly created United States Atomic Energy Commission and used that position to lobby for international control of nuclear power and to avert the nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union.

Excerpt: The Order of Australia is an order of chivalry established by Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia on 14 February 1975 "for the purpose of according recognition to Australian citizens and other persons for achievement or for meritorious service". Before the establishment of the Order, Australian citizens received British honours. The Order is divided into general and military divisions, with the following grades in descending order of seniority: The Order was established on 14 February 1975 by Letters patent of Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia, and countersigned by the then Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. The original Order had only three grades: Companion (AC), Officer (AO) and Member (AM). On 24 May 1976, the further categories of Knight (AK), Dame (AD), and Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) were established by the Queen on the advice of Whitlam's successor Malcolm Fraser. Following his 1983 election, Prime Minister Bob Hawke abolished the Knight and Dame categories. On 3 March 1986 the Queen co-signed Letters Patent revoking the category of Knight or Dame. Existing Knights and Dames were not affected by the new patent. The Queen of Australia is Sovereign Head of the Order while the Gover...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=153398 ... Read more

Some of his additions to the Linux include an O(1) and CFS scheduler in the 2.6.x kernel series, the in-kernel TUX HTTP / FTP server , as well as his work to enhance thread handling. He also wrote a kernel security feature called "Exec Shield ", which prevents stack-based buffer overflow exploits in the x86 architecture by disabling the execute permission for the stack. One of his recent projects is the realtime preemption patch, which aims to bring hard-realtime scheduling latencies (50 60 microseconds worst-case execution time ) to Linux. Most recently, he has been working on the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS), an O(log n) scheduler that is included as of the 2.6.23 Linux.

The early pioneer work was done at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey , together with John von Neumann . His areas of research included free and thermally driven circulations, frontogenesis , and shear and gravitational acoustic wave propagation in stratified media. Eliassen received the Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal in 1964 for his many important contributions to dynamical meteorology. He received the very prestigious Balzan Prize in 1996 "For his fundamental contributions to dynamic meteorology that have influenced and stimulated progress in this science during the past fifty years".
