Moreover, improvements in diagnosis, the better delineation of genetic contributions to psychiatric illness (based on twin and adoption studies as well as studies of affected families), and the discovery of specific medications for treating schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety states have transformed psychiatry into a therapeutically effective medical specialty that is now closely aligned with neuroscience.

 Nat' Academies Press, Assessment of Mars Science and Mission Priorities (2003)
It found distinct changes in the shape of the electron spectrum, in the energy range of 10 to 10,000 eV, in these two regions,20 and thus it established, unambiguously and for the first time, the presence of an ionopause, which had been expected but not seen before.
However, even this dedicated payload does not address all of the high-priority science that needs to be covered; for example there are no measurements of the upper-atmospheric winds, which are crucial for an understanding of the dynamics of that region.
Besides the mission’s lack of certain important measurements, the 5-year delay means that instead of arriving at Mars during solar cycle maximum, it will be placed in orbit during solar cycle minimum, and thus the meaningful investigation of a number of outstanding problems will be seriously jeopardized (e.g., nonthermal escape, which is highly solar-cycle dependent).

They deduce an interval of 2.5±1.2 million years between the formation of inclusions and chondrules and have set a new limit on the period of chondrule formation.
An additional important result of their work (Science 2002 September 6; 297: 1678-1683 [pdf]) is its implication for competing models of chondrule formation—the X-wind, the jet flow and the shock-wave models.
In particular, Hutcheon’s results suggest that the delayed formation of chondrules is very difficult to explain with shock wave models drawing on gravitational instabilities in the protoplanetary disk.

The NASA Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE) is a program of aircraft-based experiments dedicated to improving our knowledge of global tropospheric chemistry and of its implications for the biosphere, climate, and stratosphere.
Guided by science priorities of the tropospheric chemistry community, GTE has conducted missions in diverse parts of the world that are particularly important in understanding atmospheric chemical change (Table 1, Figure 1).
The ABLE experiments focused on the surface sources and sinks of atmospheric gases and aerosols and the meteorological processes that mix such gases into the boundary layer and the free troposphere.
