Arthur Canfield Upton (February 27, 1923 — February 14, 2015) was an American pathologist and Radiobiology, radiation biologist. He was former director of the National Cancer Institute and known for his research in radiation biology of cancer. Education and career Upton was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan. His interest in medicine was ignited after seeing his mother recover from pneumonia. He studied at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. Upton obtained his Bachelor's degree from University of Michigan and his MD from the Michigan Medicine, University of Michigan Medical School in 1946. He completed his residency in 1949 in Michigan.

A former is an object, such as a template, Gauge block, gauge or cutting Die (manufacturing), die, which is used to form something such as a boat's Hull (watercraft), hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the Flight control surfaces#Longitudinal_axis, longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and string ...
