Bernie Mills is remembered globally as an influential pioneer in the evolving field of radio astronomy. His contributions with the ‘Mills Cross' at the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics and later at the University of Sydney's School of Physics and the development of the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) were widely recognized as astronomy evolved in the years 1948–85 and radio astronomy changed the viewpoint of the astronomer as a host of new objects were discovered.

A new survey of the southern sky for pulsars is being carried out jointly by the University of Sydney and the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics. J. M. Durdin, M. I. Large and A. G. Little from Sydney University have been working with R. N. Manchester, J. H. Taylor and myself from Radiophysics. This paper provides a brief description of the experiment and an account of progress to date.

Academic Year

In the spring of 1964, having qualified for a sabbattical leave from the University of Illinois and having recently completed two years as Chairman of the Visiting Committee of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, I inquired of the NRAO staff as to whether a desk and possibly some augmentation of my University half-salary might be available at Green Bank for the following academic year. Instead I was invited to join the staff as a fulltime employee and to take a coordinating role in the development of the “very large array” as Chairman of the Design Committee. The University granted me a year’s leave of absence which eventually stretched to four years.

John Anderson was born in Sydney on 5 March 1928 and died in Melbourne on 26 February 2007. He was educated at Sydney Boys' High School, Sydney Technical College, the New South Wales University of Technology (now the University of New South Wales) and the University of Cambridge. He was at Queens University Belfast as a Ramsay Memorial Fellow, 1954–5, was a Lecturer in Chemistry at the New South Wales University of Technology, a Reader in Chemistry at the University of Melbourne and Foundation Professor of Chemistry at Flinders University in South Australia. In 1969 he was appointed Chief of the CSIRO Division of Tribophysics and managed the Division's transition to become the Division of Materials Science. He was a Professor of Chemistry at Monash University, Melbourne, from 1987 until his retirement in 1993. He will be remembered for his contributions to the understanding of gas–solid interactions with particular emphasis on fundamental heterogeneous catalysis on metals, but also embracing other adsorption and oxidation processes.

Doug Waterhouse was a renowned entomologist, a fine scientist and an accomplished administrator. He worked within the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Division of Entomology for over 60 years, and was its Chief for 21 years until his retirement in 1981. Doug was responsible for many developments in insect and weed control, both in Australia and around the globe, especially in developing countries across Asia and the Pacific. He not only guided the Division to international prominence, but was also an ardent humanitarian whose work had beneficial effects in many neighbouring countries. Much of his ‘public good’ work was done as an Honorary Fellow (1981–2000). As well as his extensive entomological interests, Doug was active in other areas such as education and community services. He was the foundation Chairman of the Canberra College of Advanced Education and continued as Chancellor when it became the University of Canberra.

Don Weiss was born in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda on 4 October 1924 and died in Melbourne on 30 July 2008. He was educated in South Australia, at Scotch College, the South Australian School of Mines and Industry, and the University of Adelaide. He joined the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in 1948 and worked for CSIR and its successor organization, CSIRO, until his retirement in 1984. He was the Chief of the CSIRO Division of Chemical Technology from 1974 to 1979 and Director of CSIRO's Planning and Evaluation Advisory Unit from 1979 to 1984. He was a highly imaginative and creative scientist whose work was always driven by his clear understanding of its application. He made important contributions to separation science but is best known for his contributions to technology for water and waste water treatment. His enduring legacy is the more than twenty MIEX plants that have been installed around the world.

In a half-century involvement in radio astronomy, Brian Robinson achieved international recognition and received many honours. During a forty-year career at CSIRO Division of Radiophysics, he undertook leading research, headed the Astrophysics Group, and contributed significantly in the Australia Telescope planning and funding campaign. Internationally, he distinguished himself in radio astronomy committees and negotiations to protect radio astronomy observations from interference from telecommunication transmissions.

AbstractUsing three radio databases of the university of Michigan Radio Astronomy Observatory (UMRAO), the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), and the Metsähovi Observatory, we analyzed the radio light curves by the power spectral analysis and CLEANest method in search for possible periodicity. Multiple periods are found in some sources at multi-frequencies. We adopted the wavelets for period analysis of unevenly sampled time series to search for the evolution of the parameters (period, amplitude) of possible periodicities. Some possible variation of these parameters are found.
