Notable former members of the board of directors or steering committee of the Mars Society include Kim Stanley Robinson, Michael D. Griffin, Christopher McKay, and Pascal Lee.

John Calley took over as SPE president in November 1996, installing Amy Pascal as Columbia Pictures president and Chris Lee as president of production at TriStar.

Pascal retained her position as president of the newly united Columbia Pictures, while Lee became the combined studio's head of production.

They include, in alphabetical order: Laurance Doyle, Peter Jenniskens, Pascal Lee, and Franck Marchis.

Establishment of a human Mars exploration analog research station on Devon Island was first proposed by Pascal Lee in April 1998.

Pascal Lee is widely recognized for his efforts to advance the human exploration of Mars, in particular via its asteroid-like moons Phobos and Deimos.

Pascal Lee was born in 1964 ( Hong Kong ) and attended St. Joseph's Primary School in Wan Chai.

While in college in Paris, Pascal Lee was an active member of the Cosmos Club de France, a space exploration society founded by space scientist and author Albert Ducrocq.

Pascal Lee studied astronomy and space sciences at Cornell, and worked as a research and teaching assistant for his thesis adviser Joseph Veverka, and the late Carl Sagan.

In 1993, Pascal Lee was awarded the Cornell University Department of Astronomy Eleanor Norton York Award.

In 1999, Pascal Lee collaborated as a Participating Scientist on the NASA Mars Polar Lander mission.

In 2002, Pascal Lee and space entrepreneur Marc Boucher co-founded the Mars Institute, an international non-profit public benefit research organization dedicated to advancing the scientific study, exploration, and public understanding of Mars.

In 1998, Pascal Lee proposed the creation of a Mars Lander-like habitat at Haughton Crater on Devon Island to support field studies of requirements for future human Mars exploration.

The HMP came about as a postdoctoral research proposal by Pascal Lee, a Cornell University graduate student.

*" Why Pascal is Not My Favorite Programming Language ", a popular criticism of Niklaus Wirth's Pascal.

*" Why Pascal is Not My Favorite Programming Language " – By Brian Kernighan, AT & T Bell Labs, 2 April 1981

Following Desargues ' thinking, the sixteen-year-old Pascal produced, as a means of proof, a short treatise on what was called the " Mystic Hexagram ", Essai pour les coniques (" Essay on Conics ") and sent it — his first serious work of mathematics — to Père Mersenne in Paris ; it is known still today as Pascal's theorem.

It states that if a hexagon is inscribed in a circle ( or conic ) then the three intersection points of opposite sides lie on a line ( called the Pascal line ).

: This is the third line in the Pascal: s triangle.

In North America, commercial production of celery is dominated by the varieties called Pascal celery.

CamelCase ( or camel case ), also known as medial capitals or Pascal case, is the practice of writing words with some inner uppercase letters, such as compound words or phrases in which the elements are joined without spaces, while each element has a capital letter within the compound.

The practice is known by many other names, the most common of which is Pascal case for upper camel case.

More subtle is the slight over-representation of string operations, which is largely language-related: both Ada and Pascal have strings as normal variables in the language, whereas C does not, so what was simple variable assignment in reference benchmarks became buffer copy operations in the C library.

During Paschaltide, in some traditions the Pascal greeting with the Easter egg is even extended to the deceased.

However, its use is not strictly limited to the GNU operating system ; it is a portable debugger that runs on many Unix-like systems and works for many programming languages, including Ada, C, C ++, Objective-C, Free Pascal, Fortran, Java and partially others.

This harpsichord is the work of two celebrated makers: originally constructed by Andreas Ruckers in Antwerp ( 1646 ), it was later remodeled and expanded by Pascal Taskin in Paris ( 1780 ).

The Icon language is derived from the ALGOL-class of structured programming languages, and thus has syntax similar to C or Pascal.

Icon is most similar to Pascal, using syntax for assignments, the keyword and similar syntax.

Procedures are the basic building blocks of Icon programs, and although they use Pascal naming they work more like C functions and can return values ; there is no keyword in Icon.

While most modern IDEs are graphical, IDEs in use before the advent of windowing systems ( such as Microsoft Windows or X Window System ( X11 )) were text-based, using function keys or hotkeys to perform various tasks ( Turbo Pascal is a common example ).

In computer science, it is the remainder operator that is usually indicated by either "%" ( e. g. in C, Java, Javascript, Perl and Python ) or " mod " ( e. g. in Pascal, BASIC, SQL, Haskell ), with exceptions ( e. g. Excel ).

The Modula programming language is a descendent of the Pascal programming language.

The main innovation of Modula over Pascal is a module system, used for grouping sets of related declarations into program units ; hence the name Modula.

He had previously designed an experimental system implementation language called LIS ( 1972 – 1974 ), based on Pascal and Simula ( in fact, he had been chairman of the Simula User's Group ), and was one of the founding members of IFIP WG 2. 4 on Systems Implementation Languages.

In June 2011 Carlos Pascal the team ’ s chairman was arrested due to accusations of drug trafficking leaving the club without a president.

UCSD Pascal was developed at The University of California, San Diego Institute for Information Systems in 1978 to provide students with a common operating system that could run on any of the then available microcomputers as well as campus DEC PDP-11 minicomputers.

An investigation into responsibility for the Halabja massacre, by Dr Jean Pascal Zanders, Project Leader of the Chemical and Biological Warfare Project at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute concluded in 2007 that Iraq was the culprit, and not Iran.

Niklaus Emil Wirth ( born February 15, 1934 ) is a Swiss computer scientist, best known for designing several programming languages, including Pascal, and for pioneering several classic topics in software engineering.

While pressure may be measured in any unit of force divided by any unit of area, the SI unit of pressure ( the newton per square metre ) is called the pascal ( Pa ) after the seventeenth-century philosopher and scientist Blaise Pascal.

* November 23 – French mathematician, scientist, and religious philosopher Blaise Pascal experiences an intense mystical vision that marks him for life.

One of his professors spoke about the philosopher and scientist Blaise Pascal, quoting a sentence from the Pensées: " Man is only a reed, the weakest thing in nature ; but he is a thinking reed.
