RESUMEN
In the late 19th century, Charles Egeson, a map compiler at the Sydney Observatory, carried out some of the earliest research on climatic cycles, linking them to about 33-year cycles in solar activity, and predicted that a devastating drought would strike Australia at the turn of the 20th century. Eduard Brückner and William J. S. Lockyer, who, like Egeson, found similar cycles, with notable exceptions, are also, like the map compiler, mostly forgotten. But the transtridecadal cycles are important in human physiology, economics and other affairs and are particularly pertinent to ongoing discusions of climate change. Egeson's publication of daily weather reports preceded those officially recorded. Their publication led to clashes with his superiors and his personal life was marked by run-ins with the law and, possibly, an implied, but not proven, confinement in an insane asylum and premature death. We here track what little is known of Egeson's life and of his bucking of the conventional scientific wisdom of his time with tragic results.
RESUMEN
The new Federal German Roentgen Law in operation for the last two years governs not only the proprietary rights in respect of x-ray documentation but also the obligation regarding its accountability. Similar regulations are in preparation in other European countries. Since the discussions on individual problems of maintaining and cataloguing x-ray films and on approaches towards solving the production of duplicates, are common knowledge, there is no need to go into them once again, not lease because of their complex nature. Nevertheless, these problems are touched upon in the present article in the manner of key words in order to illustrate to what extent the Linear System meets the requisite demands.
