Download or read book The Atacama Large Millimeter Array written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-11-27 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1991 NRC decadal survey for astronomy and astrophysics included a project called the Millimeter Array (MMA). This instrument would be an array of millimeter-wavelength telescopes intended to capture images of star-forming regions and distant star-burst galaxies. With the addition of contributions form Europe, the MMA evolved into the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), a proposed array of 64, 12-meter antennas. The project is now part of the NSF Major Research Equipment and Facilities budget request. Increased costs, however, have forced the NSF to reconsider the number of antennas. To help with that review, NSF asked the NRC to assess the scientific consequences of reducing the number of active antennas from 60 to either 50 or 40. This report presents an assessment of the effect of downsizing on technical performance specifications, performance degradation, and the ability to perform transformational science, and of the minimum number of antennas needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation asks the following research question: Which boundary spanning mechanisms affect the effective solution of problems under different organizational contexts? I draw upon problem solving and boundary spanning mechanisms literature to shed light on how communities of knowledge cope with a stream of variable and unpredictable problems under different environments. To empirically answer the research question, I focus on the conception and construction of ALMA - the "Atacama Large Millimeter Array", which is the world's largest, most expensive and most sensitive radio telescope array operating at millimeter wavelengths. I rely upon primary data based on interviews and the digital archive of entries in the knowledge-management software used by ALMA personnel to seek out and share knowledge to solve problems. I add to our understanding about how scientists and engineers employ different mechanisms to transfer and create knowledge to solve heterogeneous problems as they emerge.
