Agenda and Minutes
1. Updates and plans. RS: no new news. VJB has some new graphs:
PT has some new graphs also:
- DB reported on splitting a doubling time analysis into before 1975 and 1975+ segments. This is motivated by PT pointing out some weird predictions about the future if you don't do that.
- HA reports that NSF has some funding opportunities. AFOSR also has some opportunities.
- Status of registration and travel fees. RS has paid $640 for WMSCI and applied for reimbursement from his dept. PT paid $400 for FTC and got some recent promising updates as the college moves toward making decisions on graduate student conference paper support.
2. Background literature update.
- Some interesting videos are at the Kartik Gada channel such as at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuRX67CJhaOT98Jdjh85CEQ which we discussed previously.
For general reference here are some generic questions about articles (and videos):a. What is the source?b. What is the most significant advance in the human knowledge presented in the paper?c. Why is that advance important?d. What important questions arise from the paper for future research?e. What important questions would it be nice if the paper answered, but does not answer?f. What does the paper present that is novel (no one else has provided that before)?g. What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite research goals?h. Questions from the group?
3. Reading and discussion:
a. Hu et al. 2015, A survey on life prediction of equipment. We read up to section 2.1 last time so next time we will start with 2.1.
b. We found that the paper at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-40896-1_3 seems like a good paper for us to read.
c. MH suggests a short book called Future Spaceflight Meditations, a cosmist perspective, by Jiulio Prisco, physicist formerly with the ESA.
d. MH suggests Pantelis Koutroumpis, The Productivity Paradox, a report.
