# Kemp Caldera

**Kemp Caldera** and Kemp Seamount form a submarine volcano south of the South Sandwich Islands, in a region where several seamounts are located. The seamount rises to a depth of 80 metres (260 ft) below sea level; the caldera has a diameter of 8.3 by 6.5 kilometres (5.2 mi × 4.0 mi) and reaches a depth of 1,600 metres (5,200 ft). The caldera contains several Hydrothermal vents, including white smokers (a type of vent that emits cold, alkaline fluids) and diffuse venting areas, which are host to chemolithotrophic ecological communities. The seamount and caldera, which were discovered by seafloor mapping in 2009, are part of the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area.

## Geography and geomorphology

Kemp Caldera lies at the southern end of the South Sandwich Islands, between the Scotia Sea to the north and the Weddell Sea to the south, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) west-southwest of Thule Island. The caldera was discovered and sampled in 2009 during bathymetric mapping operations carried out by the RRS *James Clark Ross*. Further sampling efforts took place in 2010 and 2011. Another caldera, Adventure Caldera, lies east of Kemp Seamount; together with several other seamounts the calderas form the Vysokaya Bank. The Nelson Seamounts lie farther south.

The volcano consists of two submarine edifices: the Kemp Caldera proper to the west and Kemp Seamount to the east. The latter rises to a depth of 80 metres (260 ft) below sea level. The caldera is elongated in an east–west direction and has dimensions of 8.6 by 6.5 kilometres (5.3 mi × 4.0 mi). The caldera has a volume of about 9–12 cubic kilometres (2.2–2.9 cu mi) and may have been excavated during the course of multiple eruptions. The caldera floor lies at a depth of 1,600 metres (5,200 ft), 700 metres (2,300 ft) below the margin of the caldera, which has a sill at 900 metres (3,000 ft) depth, and contains a resurgent cone 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) wide and 250 metres (820 ft) high. Numerous volcanic cones and volcanic craters dot its rims, presumably from post-caldera volcanism. Deposits left by mass failures such as slide blocks and debris flow chutes occur both in and outside of the caldera. Basaltic rocks, sediments, sulfur and volcanic ash cover the surrounding seafloor.

## Geology

Volcanoes in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are found both on the mainland (Antarctic Peninsula, Marie Byrd Land, Victoria Land) and outlying islands (e.g. South Sandwich Islands, South Shetland Islands) and feature both active eruptions and fumarole systems. Hydrothermal vents in the Southern Ocean occur at the Australian-Antarctic Ridge and the East Scotia Ridge.

Subduction of the South American Plate beneath the Sandwich Plate occurs at a rate of 7–7.9 centimetres per year (2.8–3.1 in/year) and is responsible for volcanic activity in the South Sandwich Arc. As the slab descends into the mantle, water is released and induces melting in the mantle wedge above the slab. The arc includes the eleven volcanic South Sandwich Islands and other submarine volcanoes, such as Protector Shoal. Other hydrothermal vents in the arc are found at Quest Caldera and Adventure Crater. Unlike Adventure Crater, Kemp Caldera is located within the backarc region.

### Geochemistry and activity

Kemp Caldera has erupted low-potassium tholeiite and basaltic andesite, and the geochemistry of volcanic rocks at Kemp Seamount is consistent with volcanic arc magma. Kemp Seamount has not had its summit torn down by icebergs through seabed gouging, implying that it is relatively young. The fresh appearance of the submarine volcanic features at Kemp Caldera, including the lack of sediments filling the caldera, indicate that it was recently active.

Hydrothermal vents occur at the foot and on the flanks of the resurgent cone and include white smokers. Three vent zones have been named: "Great Wall" and "Toxic Castle" around the resurgent cone, "Beehive Chimney" on the inner slopes of the caldera and "Devil's Horn" at the north-northwestern caldera rim. Hydrothermal vents form both diffuse venting areas and discrete chimneys, and have deposited anhydrite, baryte, copper sulfides and elemental sulfur. Liquid sulfur has been observed and forms sulfur droplets. Temperatures of 103–202 °C (217–396 °F) have been measured at the white smokers. Water temperatures at Kemp Caldera reach 1 °C (34 °F) while sediments are warmed by volcanic activity to 5 °C (41 °F).

## Ecology

Bacterial mats, clams and limpets settle on the hydrothermal vents, which sustain chemosynthetic communities. Sponges grow on the periphery of the vent areas. "Dead zones" - accumulations of animal carcasses, which have also been found at other submarine hydrothermal systems on Earth - are found in the area. Most of the bacteria found at the caldera belong to the class gammaproteobacteria.

Numerous marine animals have been identified at vent sites, such as actinostolid anemones, the barnacle *Neolepas scotiaensis*, vesicomyid clams such as *Archivesica puertodeseadoi*, *Lepetodrilus concentricus* clams, cocculinid limpets, pycnogonids of the genus *Sericosura* and the starfish *Paulasterias tyleri*. The vesicomyid clam communities are made up of unique species, not found in the nearby East Scotia ridge vent systems. Away from hydrothermal vents alcyonaceans, brisingids, cnidarians, holothuroids, ophiuroids, polychaetes and shrimp live on and in the seafloor. The bivalve species *Spinaxinus caldarium* and *Parathyasira dearborni* were first identified at Kemp Caldera, as were two "bone-eating worm" species, *Osedax crouchi* and *Osedax rogersi*.

Whale falls have been found in the surrounding area and support their own biological communities; in total about nine unique ecological communities have been identified in and around Kemp Caldera. The occurrence of limpets at both hydrothermal vents and whale falls in the Kemp Caldera area has been used as evidence that whale falls may be a stepping stone for species to propagate to submarine hydrothermal vents.

### Conservation

Kemp Caldera lies within the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area. Longline fishing is restricted and bottom trawling is outright prohibited. As of 2019 further legislation protecting the environment from mining and hydrocarbon exploration was being developed.

# Poacevirus

***Poacevirus*** is a genus of viruses, in the family *Potyviridae*. Poaceae plants serve as natural hosts. There are three species in this genus.

## Taxonomy

The genus contains the following species:

## Structure

Viruses in *Poacevirus* are non-enveloped, with flexuous and filamentous geometries. The diameter is around 12-15 nm, with a length of 680-750 nm. Genomes are linear and non-segmented, around 9.7-10.3kb in length.

| Genus | Structure | Symmetry | Capsid | Genomic arrangement | Genomic segmentation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| *Poacevirus* | Filamentous |  | Non-enveloped | Linear | Monopartite |

## Life cycle

Viral replication is cytoplasmic. Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by tubule-guided viral movement. Poaceae plants serve as the natural host. The virus is transmitted via a vector (wheat curl mite). Transmission routes are vector.

| Genus | Host details | Tissue tropism | Entry details | Release details | Replication site | Assembly site | Transmission |

# Healthcare in Macau

Macau has a universally accessible single-payer system funded by taxes collected by the government from corporations and residents.

Macau is served by one major public hospital, the Hospital Conde S. Januário, and one major private hospital, the Kiang Wu Hospital, both located in Macau Peninsula, as well as a university-associated hospital called Macau University of Science and Technology Hospital in Cotai and a minor private hospital, the Macau Yinkui Hospital on the Macau Peninsula. Currently none of the Macau hospitals have international healthcare accreditation.

In addition to hospitals, Macau also has numerous health centres providing free basic medical care to residents. Consultation in traditional Chinese medicine is also available. Currently none of the Macau hospitals is independently assessed through international healthcare accreditation.

The Macau University of Science and Technology started a medical school in Macau in September 2019 for its MBBS program. The second batch of students started their classes on 21 September 2020. Clinical training of medical students will start from third year of medical training in the university hospital associated with the university. The medical school has been listed in the world directory of medical schools. Medium of instruction in the medical school is English. Most of the students are from Macau. The duration of MBBS course is 5 years with an additional year for internship.

Local nurses are trained at the Macao Polytechnic University and the Kiang Wu Nursing College of Macau. Currently there are no training courses in midwifery in Macau.

title: SCORTEN scale

abstract: The SCORTEN scale is a severity-of-illness scale with which the severity of certain bullous conditions can be systematically determined. It was originally developed for toxic epidermal necrolysis, but can be used with burn victims, sufferers of Stevens–Johnson syndrome, cutaneous drug reactions, or exfoliative wounds. These conditions have in common that they compromise the integrity of the skin and/or mucous membranes. In the SCORTEN Scale 7 independent risk factors for high mortality are systematically scored, so as to determine the mortality rate for that particular patient. The more risk factors present, the higher the SCORTEN score, and the higher the mortality rate, as shown in the following table.

# Heinrich Wohlwill

**Heinrich Wohlwill**  (7 February 1874 – 31 January 1943) was a German-Jewish engineer of electrochemistry.

## Early life

Wohlwill was born in Hamburg, in the German Empire, on 7 February 1874, the third of five children of well-known engineer of electrochemistry, Emil Wohlwill. Heinrich Wohlwill had two older siblings: Marie Wohlwill and Sophie Wohlwill, and two younger siblings: Gretchen Wohlwill and Joachim Friedrich Wohlwill. Heinrich Wohlwill served as the technical director of Norddeutsche Affinerie and as a member of the board until he was removed from the company, due to the Jewish discrimination in Germany.

## Patent

Wohlwill invented an industrial process for recovering copper, which was in used until WWII. The patent resulted in the formation of Norddeutsche Affinerie, presently Aurubis AG. He improved upon the Wohlwill process (having previously been invented by his father in 1910), which is the method for extracting pure gold and silver throughout industry with the use of electrochemical electrolysis

## Death

Wohlwill received the deportation letter in Hamburg on 17 July 1942, during the widespread Jewish discrimination in Germany during the Holocaust. Three days later, on 20 July 1942, Wohlwill and his wife Henriette Wohlwill were deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in Terezín.

# Healthcare in Malawi

**Healthcare in Malawi** and its limited resources are inadequate to fully address factors plaguing the population, including infant mortality and the very high burden of diseases, especially HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

## Background

Malawi has a three-tier healthcare system in which each level is connected by a patient referral system. However the health system structure exist in publications only where it mirrors national health systems in the West and just whilst just like other systems in Malawi, it does not function. This is largely due to lack of manpower, lack of basic/expert skills set, overpopulation, lack of equipment/technology, corruption, lack of political commitment, lack of sufficient funds, poor prioritisation in budgeting and low motivation among personnel.

According to World Health Organization Report, Malawi health system ranks number 185 out of 190. The figurative picture of the health system can be created by understanding the indicators of a failing system or the mere non-existence of the system. There is no emergency systems in place for medical services, fire service or crime response (no ambulated paramedic response system, as in a 112 or 999 service). Where there's need to obtain such services, affected people are required to meet the cost. Only the very few privately run hospitals in the two major cities of Blantyre and Lilongwe have very limited non purposely built vehicles serving as basic ambulances used to transport their paying patients mostly without life-saving equipment on board or an on-board paramedic.

In April 2012, the then State President had a cardiac arrest which resulted to his death due to lack of medication both within the presidential medical team and at the main referral hospital where he was attended to. As of 2016, Malawi has only one qualified cardiologist consultant who is based at a private hospital. Recent survey indicate that, unlike in cases of HIV, Malaria, or TB, patients with diseases which require expert clinical skills and equipment, e.g. cardiac or neural related problems, are likely to receive wrong diagnosis and incorrect treatment or medication resulting to in unnecessarily high mortality rates. There is no provider of aeromedical service within Malawi.

Malawi has the lowest ranking on health system among countries which are not affected by civil wars, however the medical services delivered still rank lower than some war torn countries. There is no national record information system for patients records. Most common medication found in hospital pharmacies in the west are not available locally i.e. treatment for the heart diseases or cancer are unavailable. There is an uncontrolled circulation of internationally banned drugs or out-of-date drugs in flea markets.

Below is an outline of how the health system is meant to work as published by the Malawi's government department responsible for health.

## Health services

Health services in Malawi are provided by the public, private for profit (PFP), and private not for profit (PNFP) sectors. The Ministry of Health (MOH) is responsible for overseeing healthcare in Malawi.

63% of health services are provided by the government, 37% are provided by the Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM), and a small fraction of the population receive health services through the private sector. Private doctors and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) offer services and medicines for a nominal fee.

## Public sector

Public sector provision of health care is free and organised into three tiers- primary, secondary and tertiary. A system of referrals links these three tiers.

Government departments that provide public services are the Ministry of Health (MOH), district, town and city councils, Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Security (Police and Prisons). These departments work in collaboration with the MOH; however respective funding is planned and disbursed individually.

Patients enter into the system at the first tier (primary) and flow to higher tier facilities (secondary, tertiary) as needed. Medical supplies and human resources, however, flow in the opposite direction. The already limited resources are first allocated to the top tier facilities, leaving the second and third tier facilities with little to no resources.

### Primary care

Primary care is "where the bulk of health care actually happens in Malawi". This consists of community-based outreach, staffed and unstaffed health posts, dispensaries, urban health centres, and primary health centres (including rural/community hospitals). At the primary level (third tier), hospitals have holding beds, post-natal beds, holding wards, and are able to provide outpatient, maternity, and antenatal services.

If the patient's condition is considered to be too critical for primary care facilities to handle, they will be referred to the next level of the healthcare system.

### Secondary care

Secondary level care is provided by one of 26 district hospitals that are located in each of Malawi's districts. These hospitals are equipped to provide the same basic services as the primary care facilities (mentioned above) in addition to a few more, such as: x-ray, ambulance, operating theatre, and a laboratory.

### Tertiary care

The top tier of care is provided by one of four central hospitals located in the major urban areas. These hospitals differ from the secondary care hospitals in the existence of various specialized services.

## Health budget

According to the World Health Organization's statistics on Malawi, there has been a sharp increase in health expenditures. From 2002 to 2011, the per capital total expenditure on health (PPP int.) increased from $27.2 to $77.0 and per capita government expenditure on health (PPP int.) increased from $16.4 to $56.5. These statistics indicate that the healthcare in Malawi is receiving greater attention and resource allocation. They also reflect the increased health focus of the government of Malawi. From 2002 to 2011, the percentage of total government expenditures allocated to health increased from 13% to 18.5%.

Malawi's increased government expenditure on healthcare has coincided with a decrease in the country's dependence on external healthcare resources, such as international and non-governmental aid. In 2009 external resources were responsible for 97.4% of total health expenditures, in 2011 they were responsible for 52.4%. In 2017 89% of Malawian healthcare was provided through donors.

| 2035 | 4 | 6 | 15 | 25 | 50 |
| 2045 | 5 | 7 | 19 | 26 | 57 |

## Health staffing

In Malawi's health profile, last updated in May 2013, the World Health Organization reported that there were only 0.2 physicians per 10,000 population and 3.4 nurses and midwives per 10,000 population. Malawi's shortage of healthcare personnel is the most severe in the region. Additionally, the minimal body of health workers are not evenly distributed in the healthcare system. Challenges that lead to this shortage are low outputs of medical training institutions, health worker retention, and disease.

In the 1990s, Malawi stopped training auxiliary nurses and medical assistants. In 2001, this training was resumed in an effort to increase human resources for health care.

In 2005, Malawi began to implement its emergency human resource program which concentrates on increasing output of trained medical personnel, improving health worker compensation and retention.

In 2017, there were around 200 pharmacists in the country, of which fewer than 10 are in the country's hospitals. Most hospitals don't have a pharmacist, and they use up their annual drug allocation in six months.

## Access to healthcare facilities

Limited access to health services in Malawi affect a large number of Malawians. Only 46% of citizens live within a 5-km radius of any kind of health facility. Despite most public health services being free for the patients, there are often costs associated with transportation to and from a facility. These costs deter many individuals that may be in dire need of care but cannot afford to assume the costs of transportation. Additional transportation needs complicate matters when an individual is referred from either a rural hospital to a district hospital or a district hospital to a central hospital. Medobal healthcare recently launched programs which gives direct access to healthcare specialists in overseas.

## Government efforts for healthcare improvement

The Ministry of Health explicitly states the goals of healthcare improvement efforts in Malawi.

1. Range and quality of health services for mothers children under the age of 5 years expanded
2. Better quality health care provided in all facilities
3. Health services to general population strengthened expanded and integrated
4. Efficiency and equity in resource allocation increased
5. Access to health care facilities and basic services increased
6. Quality of trained human resources increased, improved equitably/efficiently distributed
7. Collaboration and partnership in health sector strengthened
8. Overall resources in health sector increased

These objectives have been addressed in a variety of ways. In 2002, Malawi published the Poverty Reduction Strategy which included the Essential Health Package (EHP). The EHP was derived from estimates of the most significant burdens of disease in Malawi provided in 2002 by the World Health Organization. Its central focus is to combat 11 health issues that most greatly affect the poor.

In 2004, the government of Malawi, in collaboration with partners, developed a six-year program of work (POW) that revolved around the EHP and guided the implementation of a health sector-wide approach (SWAp). In 2007, POW transitioned to become the Health Sector Strategic Plan, effective from 2007 to 2011.

Measuring the outcomes of interventions, such as those facilitated by the SWAp, is very difficult due to the absence of a vital registration system and surveys to track changes in mortality.

In 2019, The Ministry of Health Chief Director, Bestone Chisamile, said: “Investing in healthy people is the bedrock of economic and social development. I therefore appreciate the interest of Medobal family to assist governments in this network in building capabilities for quality improvement in coordinated ways”. Chisamile explained the launch of the company in Malawi signifies that quality healthcare service is everyone's responsibility saying the launch of Medobal in Malawi will enable countries to accelerate actions through well-coordinated and harmonised efforts to keep improving using evidence- based standards and implementation interventions.

## Reception of global health initiative funds

The shortage of health workers in Malawi is an obstacle to utilizing Global Health Initiatives (GHI) funds effectively. Increasing health services such as HIV/AIDs treatment commonly prompt an increase in the number of minimally trained health care workers and a modest increase in clinical staff members. According to an extensive study published in 2010, when Malawi received a large amount of GHI funding from the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, there was an increase in faculty and staff across all levels of the health system. This increase in paid health workers was supported by task-shifting to less trained staff.

# Owen Murray

**Owen Murray** (born 20 February 1948), is a British accordionist and professor.

## Biography

Born in Edinburgh, he was educated at Haddington's College, East Lothian. In his teenage years, he slowly established himself as a classical player in the Scottish accordion scene, which was famous for such greats as Sir Jimmy Shand OBE and Prof. Hamish McTaggart. He competed in many Scottish and British accordion competitions, representing Scotland in the all-Britain senior solo competition in 1964 at the age of 16. Ultimately, he achieved second and third placed finishes in the British Virtuoso accordion championships. He went on to study with Mogens Ellegaard at The Royal Danish Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen, graduating with a Diploma in 1982. He played many recitals, both in the UK and overseas, most notably at the Citta del Castelfidardo in 2015. He has a recording entitled "On the Wings of the Wind", a composition renowned for the "windy gush" technique, achieved by depressing the air button, normally used for closing the bellow after practice. He also notably played two tracks on the recording entitled "Accordions Unlimited" in 1968. Owen is the son of Chrissie Leatham and the grandson of Peter Robertson Leatham. Chrissie Leatham was one of Scotland's greatest accordion players and teacher to many of Scotland's best known musicians including Kenny McGinty, Simon Thoumire, Phil Cunningham, Ian McPhail, Sandy Brechin, Jim Johnstone to name but a few. Peter Robertson Leatham (who released a recording entitled Melodeon Greats) was a highly acclaimed melodeon player in the 1920s. Owen Murray was also instrumental in their musical education.

Murray has been the Head of Classical Accordion at London's Royal Academy of Music since 1986.

# Owen Murphy (songwriter)

**Owen Murphy** (September 2, 1893 – April 3, 1965) was an American songwriter, film maker, and writer for radio, film, and theatre. He worked as a lyricist, composer, and playwright for Broadway musicals and as a songwriter for Tin Pan Alley in the 1920s and 1930s. As a film maker he was an early maker of industrial films. He also was a writer for comedian Joe Cook for both the stage and radio.

## Early life and education

Owen Murphy was born on September 2, 1893, in Mount Clemens, Michigan. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. A self-taught composer, he became a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in 1928.

## Later life and career

Murphy began his career as a songwriter for Broadway in 1921 with the show *The Mimic World* for which he co-authored the music with Jean Schwartz and Lew Pollack, and both the lyrics and book with Harold Atteridge and James Hussey. This was followed by the musical *Red Pepper* which was staged at the Shubert Theatre in 1922. For this show, Murphy co-authored the music with Albert Gumble and the lyrics with Howard Emmett Rogers. Gumble and Murphy's score was rooted in jazz at a time when musical tastes on Broadway were just beginning to shift in that direction. Their forward thinking score shocked the reviewer in the *New York Post* who criticized their music for its embrace of that music genre.

Murphy was co-lyricist with Eugene Conrad for the 1924 musical *Top-Hole* at the Fulton Theatre, and that same year was a contributing lyricist to the musical revue *Artists and Models* at the Astor Theatre. He was a contributing writer to both the book and lyrics of *The Earl Carroll Vanities of 1925*. That same year he co-wrote both the music and lyrics for *The Greenwich Village Follies* with Harold Levey. He collaborated with Levey again on both the music and lyrics for the 1926 musical *Rainbow Rose* which was staged at the Forrest Theatre. With composer Milton Ager he co-wrote the music to the 1928 musical *Rain or Shine* which was written as a starring vehicle for comedian Joe Cook.

With Robert A. Simon, Murphy co-wrote the lyrics to the musical *The Gang's All Here* which was staged at the Imperial Theatre in 1931. He was a composer and lyricist for, *Hold Your Horses* (1933, Winter Garden Theatre), in collaboration with many other contributing creatives. It too was a musical crafted specifically for Joe Cook. Murphy went on to write regularly for Cook as both a song and script writer for his performances on both stage and radio in the 1930s.

Murphy was the founder of Owen Murphy Productions, and was a pioneer maker of industrial films. After marrying Marion Murphy (née Herson), he lived first in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, and then Stone Harbor, New Jersey. The couple had two sons and a daughter together. A Roman Catholic, he was a member of St. Paul Church of St. Brendan the Navigator Parish in Stone Harbor.

Murphy died on April 3, 1965, in Stone Harbor at the age of 71.

title: Fulguropsis spirata

abstract: Fulguropsis spirata, commonly known as pear whelk, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Busyconidae, the busycon whelks. The species is also occasionally referred to as the Gulf pear whelk to differentiate it from other Fulguropsis species which are also referred to as pear whelks. It is an edible mollusc found in areas from the Caribbean to the Western Gulf of Mexico. The species was previously thought to range through the entire Gulf of Mexico down the Florida Peninsula and as far north as North Carolina in the Atlantic. The species is generally not found East of the Mississippi Delta, and any Fulguropsis found Eastward from said delta are most likely of the species Fulguropsis pyruloides. As a result many records of F. pyruloides from the aforementioned regions are falsely labelled as F. spirata. Pear welks can reach 15 cm (5.9 in). The shell is thin, usually with a long siphonal canal and a short, flattened spire. The color variations usually have a cream background, but some can have similar coloration to the lightning whelk with axial brown streaks. The egg case in this species resemble those of the lightning whelk and the knobbed whelk but are smaller, thinner, and bear spikes around the edges.

abstract: Plomestane is a steroidal, irreversible aromatase inhibitor which was under development by Marion Merrell Dow/Hoechst Marion Russell as an antineoplastic agent for the treatment of breast cancer. It was found to be effective in preclinical studies and was also found to produce few adverse effects in human clinical trials, significantly reducing estrogen levels with a single administration. However, development of the drug for clinical use was halted due to "technical issues" and it was never marketed. In addition to its activity as an aromatase inhibitor, plomestane has weak androgenic properties.

title: SCR-268 radar

abstract: The SCR-268 was the United States Army's first radar system. Introduced in 1940, it was developed to provide accurate aiming information for antiaircraft artillery and was also used for gun laying systems and directing searchlights against aircraft. The radar was widely utilized by both Army and Marine Corps air defense and early warning units during World War II.

# SCR-268 radar

The **SCR-268** (for *Signal Corps Radio no. 268*) was the United States Army's first radar system. Introduced in 1940, it was developed to provide accurate aiming information for antiaircraft artillery and was also used for gun laying systems and directing searchlights against aircraft. The radar was widely utilized by both Army and Marine Corps air defense and early warning units during World War II. By the end of World War II the system was already considered out of date, having been replaced by the much smaller and more accurate SCR-584 microwave-based system.

## Development

The Signal Corps had been experimenting with some radar concepts as early as the late 1920s, under the direction of Colonel William R. Blair, director of the Signal Corps Laboratories at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. While most of the Corps' efforts revolved around infra-red detection systems (a popular idea at the time), as well as a newer generation of sound detectors, they also maintained a small program of research on microwave radars based on the "beat principle", in which an aircraft would cause two signals to interfere. Low generator efficiency and a lack of ranging capability made these efforts impractical.

In 1935 one of Blair's recent arrivals, Roger B. Colton, convinced him to send an engineer to investigate the US Navy's CXAM radar project. The navy's system traced its development from experiments conducted by Albert H. Taylor and Leo C. Young at the United States Naval Research Laboratory in the early 1920s. William D. Hershberger duly went to see what they had, and returned an extremely positive report. They decided to try to find a need for such a unit in order to gain funding, and eventually received a "request" by the Chief of Coast Artillery on February 1, 1936 for a gunlaying system with a range of 15,000 yards through rain, mist, smoke or fog.

Gaining the support of James B. Allison, the Chief Signal Officer, they managed to gather a small amount of funding and "stole" some more from other projects. By December 1936 they had a working prototype, which they continued to work on and improve. On May 26, 1937 they were able to show the prototype in a convincing demonstration. After failing to find their target Martin B-10 bomber where it was supposed to be, they started "hunting" for it and found it 10 miles off course. The radar fed pointing data to a team operating a searchlight, and when it was turned on the bomber was seen to be centered in the beam. It was later learned that the target had been blown off course, making the demonstration all the more impressive.

Development of this system was slowed to some degree when a long range early-warning radar became a higher priority and parts of the prototype were salvaged for the SCR-270 they were building. Nevertheless, the system entered production at Western Electric about the same time as the -270 in 1939. The radar entered service in 1940, and about 3100 were produced by the end of the war.

## Description

The SCR-268 antenna system consisted of a number of dipole elements arranged in three groups, each in front of a passive reflector, mounted on a large aimable cross. The cross consisted of a short upright pedestal sitting on top of a large base platform, mounting long cross-arms extending from the midpoint of the upright pedestal. The antenna system was about forty feet wide and ten feet high overall. Both the pedestal and the cross-arm could be rotated around their axis for aiming, in azimuth and altitude respectively.

The left side of the cross arm, as seen from the back, contained a set of dipoles that were set to be sensitive in angle, while almost insensitive to elevation. It was arranged six dipoles wide and four dipoles high, each with its own reflector. On the far right side was a similar, but smaller, arrangement rotated 90 degrees in order to be sensitive in elevation and not angle. This portion was two dipoles wide and six dipoles high with corresponding reflectors. Finally in the "middle" of the cross, between the upright pedestal and the elevation antenna, was the broadcasting array which created a circular beam about 10 degrees wide.

The three radar operators sat at consoles mounted on the pedestal just below the antenna cross-arm, each with their own oscilloscope display. One controlled the azimuth, another the elevation, and the third measured the range. Pointing the antenna was controlled by rotating large handwheels, the range being reported by a similar wheel.

The accuracy of the antennas themselves was not very high, about 9-12 degrees, so simply rotating the antenna and looking for a maximum would not point it very accurately. To help with this the antennas were deliberately designed to have two directions of high sensitivity, or "lobes". Signals from both lobes were displayed, slightly separated, on the layer's displays. By adjusting the antenna until the returns from both were equally strong, accuracies of about one degree were possible.

Range information was taken from the elevation array, and worked, as it did for most radars of the era, by triggering the trace on an "A-line" oscilloscope and read against a scale at the bottom. A second blip was also generated by equipment attached to the rangefinder's handwheel. By rotating the handwheel until the reference blip overlapped the one returned from the antenna, the timing could be read from the wheel. Range accuracy was about plus or minus 200 yards.

The system also included two sets of "repeaters" that sent the directional information to a searchlight, and both the directional and range (as dialed in on the rangefinder's handwheel) to a gun. The accuracy was not enough for direct gunlaying, but in combination with a searchlight the gun's existing optical equipment could "fine tune" the radar's guidance.

The radar operated at 205 MHz with a PRF of 4098 pulses per second of 6 μS (microsecond) duration, with an inter-pulse time of 240 μS. Radio waves (light) travel at about 0.093 miles/μS round-trip, so the system had a 22 miles (35 km) maximum range (240 × 0.093). It broadcast about 75 kW of power, which was, in theory, more than enough to offer longer range.

The radar was mobile, requiring four prime movers for support. Two towed the radar base and the antennas themselves, another pulled a K-34 trailer van providing power, and the fourth a van that converted the power to high voltage for the radio equipment. In total, including the trucks, the SCR-268 weighed 82,315 pounds. That the system was mobile at all was more a testament to the US's overwhelming industrial might than any quality of the radar itself.

The SCR-268 was combined with the Sperry M-4 gun director to create automatic radar-controlled gun laying; however, the relatively long wavelength (1.5 meters) resulted in poor accuracy. This system was eclipsed by the SCR-584, which utilized a 3 GHz magnetron oscillator from Britain, completely automatic tracking, and the Bell Telephone Laboratories electronic M9 gun director.

The SCR-268 was one of the first radar sets to use lobe switching of its receiving antennas as a means to aim AA (anti-aircraft) searchlight beams at aircraft. Since it did not lobe-switch its transmitted signal it would be classed as one of the first LORO (lobe-on-receive-only) radars.
