Providing Sustainable Mental and Neurological Health Care in Ghana and Kenya

Mental, neurological, and substance use (MNS) disorders have a substantial impact on global health and well-being. Disorders such as depression, alcohol abuse, and schizophrenia constitute about 13 percent of the total burden of disease (WHO, 2009). Worldwide, MNS disorders are the leading cause of disability, and the 10th leading cause of death (WHO, 2008a). Despite this high burden, there is …

U.S. Leadership in Manufacturing

Courtland Perkins described the reasons for NAE to focus on manufacturing, and I would like to set the stage with a few more comments. But before I do that, let me acknowledge at the outset the work done by the various members of the steering committee. Without their efforts and their insight into this topic--a difficult topic I should say--today's program could not have taken place. New techno…

Maintaining U.S. Leadership in Aeronautics

Imagine the day when aircraft accidents are an order of magnitude less likely to occur than they are today; when noise levels and emissions by commercial aircraft have been reduced by factors of five and four, respectively; when the throughput of the aviation system in all weather conditions is three times today's capacity; when the cost of air travel has been reduced by 50 percent. Imagine the…

Aviation Weather Services

Adverse weather has a major impact on aviation safety and efficiency. During 1988–1992, one-fourth of all aircraft accidents and one-third of fatal accidents were related to weather (Salottolo, 1994). In addition, 41 percent of air traffic delay time during 1990 was attributable to weather. These delays accounted for approximately $4.1 billion of direct costs to the airline industry—not inc…

This year, cyber security (or perhaps more accurately, cyber insecurity) entered the mains…
