16 Appleton, Sir Edward Victor
[br]b. 6 September 1892 Bradford, Englandd. 21 April 1965 Edinburgh, Scotland[br]English physicist awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for his discovery of the ionospheric layer, named after him, which is an efficient reflector of short radio waves, thereby making possible long-distance radio communication.[br]After early ambitions to become a professional cricketer, Appleton went to St John's College, Cambridge, where he studied under J.J.Thompson and Ernest Rutherford. His academic career interrupted by the First World War, he served as a captain in the Royal Engineers, carrying out investigations into the propagation and fading of radio signals. After the war he joined the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, as a demonstrator in 1920, and in 1924 he moved to King's College, London, as Wheatstone Professor of Physics.In the following decade he contributed to developments in valve oscillators (in particular, the "squegging" oscillator, which formed the basis of the first hard-valve time-base) and gained international recognition for research into electromagnetic-wave propagation. His most important contribution was to confirm the existence of a conducting ionospheric layer in the upper atmosphere capable of reflecting radio waves, which had been predicted almost simultaneously by Heaviside and Kennelly in 1902. This he did by persuading the BBC in 1924 to vary the frequency of their Bournemouth transmitter, and he then measured the signal received at Cambridge. By comparing the direct and reflected rays and the daily variation he was able to deduce that the Kennelly- Heaviside (the so-called E-layer) was at a height of about 60 miles (97 km) above the earth and that there was a further layer (the Appleton or F-layer) at about 150 miles (240 km), the latter being an efficient reflector of the shorter radio waves that penetrated the lower layers. During the period 1927–32 and aided by Hartree, he established a magneto-ionic theory to explain the existence of the ionosphere. He was instrumental in obtaining agreement for international co-operation for ionospheric and other measurements in the form of the Second Polar Year (1932–3) and, much later, the International Geophysical Year (1957–8). For all this work, which made it possible to forecast the optimum frequencies for long-distance short-wave communication as a function of the location of transmitter and receiver and of the time of day and year, in 1947 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.He returned to Cambridge as Jacksonian Professor of Natural Philosophy in 1939, and with M.F. Barnett he investigated the possible use of radio waves for radio-location of aircraft. In 1939 he became Secretary of the Government Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, a post he held for ten years. During the Second World War he contributed to the development of both radar and the atomic bomb, and subsequently served on government committees concerned with the use of atomic energy (which led to the establishment of Harwell) and with scientific staff.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsKnighted (KCB 1941, GBE 1946).

19 Rosa, Humberto Delgado
(1960-)Biologist, environmental activist, and public servant. Born in Lisbon in 1960, a grandson of the exiled General Humberto Delgado, Rosa received a biology degree from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon in 1983 and a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology from the same institution in 1995. He served as a faculty member in the animal biology department of his alma mater, as well as a researcher. He also served as advisor on the environment to several prime ministers beginning in 1995. In February 2005, Rosa was elected to the Assembly of the Republic as a member of the Socialist Party, and he was named Secretary of State for the Environment the same year.In his term as one of his country's principal civil servants and academic authorities concerned with ecology and the environment, Rosa has confronted important issues and problems in his area of expertise including recycling, incineration, climate change questions, and air quality. He is an important advocate and leader in renewable energy activities, and has supported greater emphasis on wind energy in Portugal. An active public speaker, Rosa has been a prolific researcher and author of works on biodiversity, bioethics, biotechnology, and the environment. He edited a book on bioethics for the natural sciences in 2004, in addition to publishing scores of articles in periodicals and chapters in books on these topics. He has also been a leader in various organizations concerned with the ecology and biology in the European Union as well as in Portugal. -
