	James Glaisher - LoveToKnow 1911
		JAMES GLAISHER (1809-1903), English meteorologist and aeronaut, was born in London on the 7th of April 1809.
		Many of these ascents were arranged by a committee of the British Association, of which he was a member, and were strictly scientific in character, the object being to carry out observations on the temperature, humidity, andc., of the atmosphere at high elevations.
		As no automatically recording instruments were available, and Glaisher was unable to read the barometer at the highest point owing to loss of consciousness, the precise altitude can never be known, but it is estimated at about 7 m.

	Glaisher biography
		James Glaisher's mother was Cecilia Louisa Belville and his father, a leading mathematician and astronomer, was also named James Glaisher.
		One of the main objects of [Glaisher and Coxwell's] ascents was to extend and improve our knowledge of the relation which exists between increase of elevation and the corresponding variations of temperature and moisture, these variations in their turn having an intimate bearing on the theoretic determination of atmospheric refraction.
		The importance of Glaisher is less in the original research he did, much more in that he brought these mathematical topics into the Cambridge syllabus so setting it up to produce the outstanding English mathematicians who were educated there shortly afterwards.

		In 1845, Glaisher published his dew point tables, for the measurement of humidity.
		Glaisher was a founder member of the Meteorological Society (1850), and the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain (1866).
		Between 1862 and 1866, usually with Henry Tracey Coxwell as his co-pilot, Glaisher made numerous ascents in order to measure the temperature and humidity of the atmosphere at its highest levels.

		They took a loan from Glaisher's father to record and release the Red Planet EP in 1979; BBC DJ John Peel, who was sent a copy, liked what he heard, requested a few more copies and booked the band for one of his famous Peel Sessions.
		Glaisher, but the label didn't know how to handle the band and the more influential music journalists shied away for whatever reason, though the coverage the band did receive tended to be glowing.
		The first three Comsat Angels albums were issued on CD in 1995 but went out of print shortly thereafter; Renascent, a heroic independent label in the U.K. that had previously updated the catalog of the Sound, remedied the matter in 2006.

	DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE WEATHER by: Victor Boesen
		Glaisher's balloon flights for science were the most ambiti ous efforts until that time to learn about the atmosphere.
		Additionally, it was noteworthy for Glaisher in those be ginning days of atmospheric research that his pulse rate in creased with altitude and that his breath came faster.
		Glaisher brought back other information, as new in his time as the reports of the first astronauts orbiting the earth a cen tury or so later.

	Early Scientific Balloons
		Glaisher first became unable to move his limbs, then could not speak, and finally lost consciousness.
		Coxwell's hand had become numb from the cold, but he finally was able to grasp the balloon cord with his teeth and release hydrogen so that the balloon descended and landed safely.
		Glaisher estimated that they had reached 37,000 feet (11,278 meters) or 7 miles (11.3 kilometers).

	MIASMA
		Glaisher said that the mist extended from Aberdeen to the Isle of Wight, and was of the same tint of blue everywhere.
		Glaisher evidently thought that the blue mist had some connection with cholera, although he preserved scientific caution about it.
		(Glaisher said that a yellow mist was sometimes 'perceptible' during epidemics of scarlatina.) When the miasma theory was discredited, the blue mist became doubtful also.

	Neptune's Discovery: The British Case for Co-Prediction, By Nick Kollerstrom
		The only thing in fact within a degree, was the concordance between Leverrier’s prediction and that of the new planet’s celestial longitude,as agreed to 52’: Neptune was found at 327 degrees; Leverrier’s prediction was at 326 degrees and Adams’ 'final' prediction was 329 and a half degrees, in helio longitude.
		This second letter of Glaisher’s was identical with the first public announcement by the Reverend James Challis, writing to The Cambridge Chronicle on October 1st.
		He announced that Adams and Leverrier had both arrived at their similar conclusions ‘four months’ earlier in June, having both ‘agreed on fixing on 325 degrees of heliocentric longitude as the most probable position, which has proved to be very little different from the actual’.

	Comment on Historical Thermometers Exposures in Australlia
		These reports do not contain an adequate analysis of the possible causes of significant discontinuities in the time series despite Richards et al (1993) containing a summary detailing at least six screen changes and a station move, events which in most cases correspond with discontinuities in the temperature data.
		Nicholls et al (1996) have not presented the data and associated historical records that would be required to support valid conclusions as to the Glaisher / Stevenson difference revealed by the Adelaide experiment.
		Warwick's figures show that mean temperatures in the Glaisher stand are biased relative to the modern Stevenson Screen.

	Glaisher (print-only)
		In the same year in which he graduated Glaisher joined the Royal Astronomical Society and so began a long association with that Society.
		Glaisher wrote over 400 articles on his main interests of astronomy, special functions, calculation of numerical tables, number theory, and the history of mathematics.
		His smile of appreciation was delightful and infectious; when appreciation waxed into admiration, his attractive eyes would glow in his enthusiasm.

		Re-christening themselves the Comsat Angels as a reference to a short story by J.G. Ballard, they took a loan from Glaisher's dad to record and release the four-song Red Planet EP in 1979.
		Though a risky move, signing with the big label allowed the Comsats to pay back the loan to Glaisher's dad, and the deal removed them from the shady distributor of their debut EP.
		One funny moment I remember was talking to Mick Glaisher about his cavernous drum sound....like it was recorded in a cathedral...

	First occurrence prime gaps
		The convention is followed here that the size (or measure) G of a prime gap is the difference of its two bounding primes; consequently a gap G contains (G - 1) consecutive composite integers.
		Some authorities (e.g., J. Glaisher, Daniel Shanks) have taken (G - 1) itself as the size of the gap, while others (e.g., Richard P. Brent) have specified the size of a gap by the parameter r = G/2.

		Glaisher studied at Trinity college, Cambridge, was on the Greenwich staff from the 1830s to the 1870s, attained eminence in astronomy and mathematics, knew both Airy and Adams, and was offered but declined the post of Astronomer Royal after Airy.
