description: Cool giant and supergiant star atmospheres are characterized by complex velocity fields originating from convection and pulsation processes which are not fully understood yet. The velocity fields impact the formation of spectral lines, which thus contain information on the dynamics of stellar atmospheres. The tomographic method allows to recover the distribution of the component of the velocity field projected on the line of sight at different optical depths in the stellar atmosphere. The computation of the contribution function to the line depression aims at correctly identifying the depth of formation of spectral lines in order to construct numerical masks probing spectral lines forming at different optical depths. The tomographic method is applied to 1D model atmospheres and to a realistic 3D radiative hydrodynamics simulation performed with CO5BOLD in order to compare their spectral line formation depths and velocity fields. In 1D model atmospheres, each spectral line forms in a restricted range of optical depths. On the other hand, in 3D simulations, the line formation depths are spread in the atmosphere mainly because of temperature and density inhomogeneities. Comparison of CCF profiles obtained from 3D synthetic spectra with velocities from the 3D simulation shows that the tomographic method correctly recovers the distribution of the velocity component projected on the line of sight in the atmosphere.

description: Under waivers to the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, the federal government required states to identify schools where targeted subgroups of students have the lowest achievement and to implement reforms in these “Focus Schools.” In this study, we examine the Focus School reforms in the state of Kentucky. The reforms in this state are uniquely interesting for several reasons. One is that the state developed unusually explicit guidance for Focus Schools centered on a comprehensive school-planning process. Second, the state identified Focus Schools using a “super subgroup” measure that combined traditionally low-performing subgroups into an umbrella group. This design feature may have catalyzed broader whole-school reforms and attenuated the incentives to target reform efforts narrowly. Using regression discontinuity designs, we find that these reforms led to substantial improvements in school performance, raising math achievement by 17 percent and reading achievement by 9 percent.

description: We analyze the Luminosity Functions (LFs) of a subsample of 69 clusters from the RASS-SDSS galaxy cluster catalog. When calculated within the cluster physical sizes, given by r200 or r500, all the cluster LFs appear to have the same shape, well fitted by a composite of two Schechter functions with a marked upturn and a steepening at the faint-end. Previously reported cluster-to-cluster variations of the LF faint-end slope are due to the use of a metric cluster aperture for computing the LF of clusters of different masses. We determine the composite LF for early- and late-type galaxies, where the typing is based on the galaxy u-r colors. The late-type LF is well fitted by a single Schechter function with a steep slope (alpha=-2.0 in the r band, within r200}). The early-type LF instead cannot be fitted by a single Schechter function, and a composite of two Schechter functions is needed. The faint-end upturn of the global cluster LF is due to the early-type cluster galaxies. The shape of the bright-end tail of the early-type LF does not seem to depend upon the local galaxy density or the distance from the cluster center. The late-type LF shows a significant variation only very near the cluster center. On the other hand, the faint-end tail of the early-type LF shows a significant and continuous variation with the environment. We provide evidence that the process responsible for creating the excess population of dwarf early type galaxies in clusters is a threshold process that occurs when the density exceeds ~500 times the critical density of the Universe. We interpret our results in the context of the 'harassment' scenario, where faint early-type cluster galaxies are predicted to be the descendants of tidally-stripped late-type galaxies.

description: Thyroid cancer patients have one of the highest 5-year survival rates of any cancer at 98%. It also affects a young population as nearly 67% of thyroid cancer patients are diagnosed before age 55. As these survivors are young and leading long lives after cancer diagnosis and treatment, it is important to understand how their long-term health and finances are affected by thyroid cancer. Data from the Utah Population Database were utilized to study the long-term health of thyroid cancer survivors. There were 3,706 thyroid cancer survivors and 15,587 matched cancer-free individuals included in the study. All thyroid cancer survivors had increased risks for multiple circulatory health conditions and many other diseases associated with aging. The risks were higher for younger patients diagnosed before age 40 for many outcomes including osteoporosis and diabetes with complications. Reproductive and pregnancy complications in women diagnosed before age 50 in this population were also studied. Thyroid cancer survivors had increased risks for having multiple health conditions of the female genital organs and multiple health conditions associated with pregnancy. Patients who underwent surgery but did not have radioactive iodine had increased risks for gestational diabetes and missed abortions compared to patients who had both surgery and radioactive iodine treatment. The Utah All Payer Claims Database (APCD) was utilized to assess the healthcare costs of thyroid cancer patients during the year of their diagnosis and in the following year. On average, healthcare costs were $19,721.84 in the year of diagnosis and $10,523.88 in the following year. While the total costs decreased, pharmacy costs increased by 112% ($1001.63) between the two years. In the year of surgery, costs were slightly higher for patients who underwent a partial thyroidectomy but significantly lower in the following year when compared those who underwent a total thyroidectomy. Overall, thyroid cancer survivors have increased risks for long-term health effects and healthcare costs differed by treatment groups. By understanding the trajectory of cancer survivors, health interventions can be put into place to reduce the risk for long-term health effects and thereby reduce healthcare costs.

Using the measures of search reliability and efficiency to quantify the random search quality, we compare Brownian search with Lévy search based on long-tailed jump length distributions. We then compare these results with a search process combined of two different long-tailed jump length distributions. Moreover, we study the case of multiple targets located by a Lévy searcher.

description: Sonography synthesis has a wide range of applications, including medical procedure simulation, clinical training and multimodality image registration. In this paper, we propose a machine learning approach to simulate ultrasound images at given 3D spatial locations (relative to the patient anatomy), based on conditional generative adversarial networks (GANs). In particular, we introduce a novel neural network architecture that can sample anatomically accurate images conditionally on spatial position of the (real or mock) freehand ultrasound probe. To ensure an effective and efficient spatial information assimilation, the proposed spatially-conditioned GANs take calibrated pixel coordinates in global physical space as conditioning input, and utilise residual network units and shortcuts of conditioning data in the GANs' discriminator and generator, respectively. Using optically tracked B-mode ultrasound images, acquired by an experienced sonographer on a fetus phantom, we demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method by two sets of quantitative results: distances were calculated between corresponding anatomical landmarks identified in the held-out ultrasound images and the simulated data at the same locations unseen to the networks; a usability study was carried out to distinguish the simulated data from the real images. In summary, we present what we believe are state-of-the-art visually realistic ultrasound images, simulated by the proposed GAN architecture that is stable to train and capable of generating plausibly diverse image samples.

description: In this project, I explore the economic integration of refugees resettled in Utah. I argue that previous models of economic integration have been applied to research in a piecemeal fashion and a more comprehensive approach is warranted. To fill this gap, I outline a Holistic Model of Refugee Economic Integration composed of refugee ethnic origins, forms of capital, and the contexts of reception. This study analyzes the relationship of these dimensions to three markers of economic integration: labor market participation, adequate income, and two-way integration. To ensure a comprehensive analysis of these dimensions I use a mixed methods research design involving the collection of quantitative data from closed-ended administrative forms, and qualitative data from the free-form text of case notes and from focus groups. I employed event history analysis to examine the association between the amount of time it takes to formally enter the labor market (i.e., find a job) and later to find a job with a livable wage. I also conducted textual analysis of the case notes and open-coded the transcripts from to focus groups to identify central themes. With these analyses, I investigate sociological issues surrounding migration, integration, and discrimination. I find that existing sociological theories of immigrant economic integration are applicable to refugees, but with an important caveat: piecemeal application of integration theories is inadequate for understanding refugee outcomes. The skills and training of refugees are frequently undervalued in the U.S. labor market. Forms of capital theories often fail to explain this. However, ethnic origins are critical predictors of the economic integration of refugees. Refugee adherence to origin culture can contribute to conspicuous foreignness forming the basis for labor market discrimination. "Creative discrimination" is especially problematic for conspicuously Muslim refugees. More importantly, while two-way integration is an important goal, ethnoreligious discrimination is both an immediate contextual predictor and a potential future outcome, indicating possible cumulative causation. Finally, the analyses show that the factors influencing economic integration interact, change over time, and have different effects on different aspects of economic integration, indicating the need for a more exhaustive theoretical approach namely the Holistic Model of Refugee Economic Integration.

description: We derive the Hawking radiation power equations for black holes in asymptotically flat, asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (AdS) and asymptotically de Sitter (dS) black holes, This is done by using the greybody factor for these black holes. We observe that the radiation power equation for asymptotically flat black holes, corresponding to greybody factor at low frequency, depends on both the Hawking temperature and the horizon radius. However, for the greybody factors at asymptotic frequency, it only depends on the Hawking temperature. We also obtain the power equation for asymptotically AdS black holes both below and above the critical frequency. The radiation power equation for at asymptotic frequency is same for both Schwarzschild AdS and Reissner-Nordström AdS solutions and only depends on the Hawking temperature. We also discuss the power equation for asymptotically dS black holes at low frequency, for both even or odd dimensions.

Low Overhead Data Race Detection Techniques for Large OpenMP Applications
Creators: name: Atzeni, Simone
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019
Subjects: Computer science

description: High Performance Computing (HPC) on-node parallelism is of extreme importance to guarantee and maintain scalability across large clusters of hundreds of thousands of multicore nodes. HPC programming is dominated by the hybrid model "MPI + X", with MPI to exploit the parallelism across the nodes, and "X" as some shared memory parallel programming model to accomplish multicore parallelism across CPUs or GPUs. OpenMP has become the "X" standard de-facto in HPC to exploit the multicore architectures of modern CPUs. Data races are one of the most common and insidious of concurrent errors in shared memory programming models and OpenMP programs are not immune to them. The OpenMP-provided ease of use to parallelizing programs can often make it error-prone to data races which become hard to find in large applications with thousands lines of code. Unfortunately, prior tools are unable to impact practice owing to their poor coverage or poor scalability. In this work, we develop several new approaches for low overhead data race detection. Our approaches aim to guarantee high precision and accuracy of race checking while maintaining a low runtime and memory overhead. We present two race checkers for C/C++ OpenMP programs that target two different classes of programs. The first, ARCHER, is fast but requires large amount of memory, so it ideally targets applications that require only a small portion of the available on-node memory. On the other hand, SWORD strikes a balance between fast zero memory overhead data collection followed by offline analysis that can take a long time, but it often report most races quickly. Given that race checking was impossible for large OpenMP applications, our contributions are the best available advances in what is known to be a difficult NP-complete problem. We performed an extensive evaluation of the tools on existing OpenMP programs and HPC benchmarks. Results show that both tools guarantee to identify all the races of a program in a given run without reporting any false alarms. The tools are user-friendly, hence serve as an important instrument for the daily work of programmers to help them identify data races early during development and production testing. Furthermore, our demonstrated success on real-world applications puts these tools on the top list of debugging tools for scientists at large.

description: Crystalline admixture (CA) is an effective self-healing agent for mortar. However, the effects of crack parameters (i.e. crack width and cracking age) and the service environment on the self-healing behavior of CA-containing mortar are not well understood. Herein, the self-healing behavior of mortar containing a self-developed CA was assessed by testing strength recovery, impermeability recovery, and crack closure in pre-cracked specimens. Three initial crack widths (0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mm), five cracking ages (3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 days), and four external exposure conditions (humidity chamber, air exposure, water immersion, and wet-dry cycles) are investigated. Furthermore, the influence of different external conditions on the healing products at the region of crack and the pore structure of hardened paste containing CA are studied. The results show that adding 4.54% CA into mortar allows rapid healing of 300 μm-wide cracks. Although wider cracks (400 μm) are more difficult to heal, the sorptivity coefficients of the mortars with 400 μm-wide cracks after healing decrease. When the cracks are produced at an earlier age, the pre-cracked specimens have higher recovery ratios of strength and impermeability after healing, and the specimens pe-cracked at a later age still have acceptable compressive strengths after healing. The analysis shows that the strengths and impermeabilities of pre-cracked mortars containing CA exposed to the four external conditions are all recovered. The best self-healing performance is observed for the specimens exposed to water immersion and wet-dry cycles conditions. Somewhat less good self-healing was observed in the specimens exposed to humid chamber condition, while the worst self-healing performance was in the specimens exposed to air exposure condition. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of novel CAs in cement-based materials.

Belle II will study e+e- collisions at or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the goal of collecting 50 ab-1 of data, which is a large increase over that recorded by the Belle and BaBar experiments. This data will provide a large sample of charm meson decays. In this report we present the expected sensitivity of Belle II for measuring time-dependent mixing and CP violation in the D0-D0bar system. We focus on measurements of D0-> K+ pi-, D0-> K+ pi- pi0, and D0-> K0_S pi+ pi- decays.

description: Pancreatic cancer remains one of the poorest prognoses in medicine, with limited treatment options and 5-year patient survival of only ~7%. Activating mutations in the Kras proto-oncogene (KrasG12D) are nearly ubiquitous in human pancreatic cancer and are sufficient to initiate precancerous pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanINs) when expressed in adult acinar cells of mice. KrasG12D-driven PanINs normally take months to form, which lead to the hypothesis that acinar differentiation determinants may have an inhibitory effect on PanIN formation and subsequent cancer initiation. While targeted drugs that promote cell differentiation are curative in blood cancers like acute promyelocytic leukemia, there is currently minimal evidence suggesting that cell differentiation could play a role in limiting or stopping solid tumor growth. This dissertation aims to test whether loss of acinar differentiation, mediated through the transcription factor Ptf1a, is necessary and/or sufficient to initiate the early stages of pancreatic cancer. Using mouse genetics, we demonstrate that loss of Ptf1a alone is sufficient to promote acinar-to-ductal reprogramming and a cancer-like gene expression profile that is conducive to inflammation and Kras-dependency. As a result, Ptf1a-deficient acinar cells are rapidly transformed into PanINs in the presence of oncogenic KrasG12D. Consistent with PanINs acting as precursor lesions to invasive pancreatic cancer, we demonstrate that loss of Ptf1a allows for rapid progression to carcinoma in situ and mortality from invasive pancreatic cancer in an established mouse model of disease. These data confirm that loss of acinar cell identity hastens tumor development independently of canonical tumor suppressor loss. In contrast, a novel mouse line that sustains Ptf1a expression during pancreatic cancer initiation eliminates formation of KrasG12D-driven precancerous PanINs. Perhaps most strikingly, reintroduction of Ptf1a into established precancerous PanINs reverts them to primitive acinar cells. Our findings therefore suggest that loss of acinar cell differentiation is required for pancreatic cancer origination and progression. This dissertation is among the first studies demonstrating that a cell differentiation program can prevent and reverse premalignant solid tumor cells in vivo and thus introduces a novel paradigm for solid tumor prevention and treatment.

description: Some institutions have issued blacklists of academic journals in China and use them as a basis for research evaluation. However, due to a lack of transparent formulation criteria, the characteristics of blacklisted journals remain unclear. Using blacklisted academic journals of the East China University of Political Science and Law, this study analyzed differences in characteristics between blacklisted and non-blacklisted journals via web surveys and statistical analyses. Statistically significant differences were detected for article review time, article processing charges (APCs), the number of editorial board members, and the journal impact factor. There was no significant difference in the number of editors. While there is scientific merit in creating and publishing a blacklist of academic journals, the list development process requires more rigorous evaluation and a public process of development.

description: This study investigates the effectiveness of three different organic molecules to enhance the properties of carbonated gamma dicalcium silicate (γ-C2S) based cementitious system. These molecules are addressed as biomimetic molecules due to their ability to mimic the biomineralization process. Low dosages (2.5% and 5%) of L-aspartic acid (LAsp), L-glutamic acid (LGlu) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) were incorporated to the γ-C2S paste. The effects of these molecules on the microstructure, CO2 sequestration capacity and strengths of the CO2-activated γ-C2S pastes were monitored. To understand the effectiveness of molecules at different temperature, the compressive and flexural strengths of γ-C2S pastes carbonated at 25 °C and 50 °C were evaluated. It was observed that all the molecules enhanced the strength of the composites by altering the CaCO3 formation and subsequent densification of the matrix. However, the effectiveness of the molecules varies depending on the temperature. Specifically, LGlu and LAsp were found to be the most and the least, respectively, effective molecule at high temperature (50 °C) carbonation curing condition; whereas, PAA remained nearly equally effective at both temperatures.

description: White dwarfs (WDs) that accrete helium at rates $\sim 10^{-8} \, M_\odot \, \rm yr^{-1}$, such as those in close binaries with sdB stars, can accumulate large ($\gtrsim 0.1 \, M_\odot$) helium envelopes which are likely to detonate. We perform binary stellar evolution calculations of sdB+WD binary systems with MESA, incorporating the important reaction chain $^{14}{\rm N}(e^-, ν) {^{14}{\rm C}} ( α, γ) {^{18}{\rm O}}$ (NCO), including a recent measurement for the ${^{14}{\rm C}} ( α, γ) {^{18}{\rm O}}$ rate. In large accreted helium shells, the NCO reaction chain leads to ignitions at the dense base of the freshly accreted envelope, in contrast to $3α$ ignitions which occur away from the base of the shell. In addition, at these accretion rates, the shells accumulate on a timescale comparable to their thermal time, leading to an enhanced sensitivity of the outcome on the accretion rate history. Hence, time dependent accretion rates from binary stellar evolution are necessary to determine the helium layer mass at ignition. We model the observed sdB+WD system ${\rm CD}\,-30^\circ 11223$ and find that the inclusion of these effects predicts ignition of a $0.153 \, M_\odot$ helium shell, nearly a factor of two larger than previous predictions. A shell with this mass will ignite dynamically, a necessary condition for a helium shell detonation.

description: Authorship and dissemination policies vary across NIH research consortia. We aimed to describe elements of real-life policies in use by eligible U01 clinical research consortia. Principal investigators of eligible, active U01 clinical research projects identified in the NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools database shared relevant policies. The characteristics of key policy elements, determined a priori, were reviewed and quantified, when appropriate. Twenty one of 81 research projects met search criteria and provided policies. K elements (e.g., in quotations): “manuscript proposals reviewed and approved by committee” (90%); “guidelines for acknowledgements” (86%); “writing team formation” (71%); “process for final manuscript review and approval” (71%), “responsibilities for lead author” (67%), “guidelines for other types of publications” (67%); “draft manuscript review and approval” (62%); “recommendation for number of members per consortium site” (57%); and “requirement to identify individual contributions in the manuscript” (19%). Authorship/dissemination policies for large team science research projects are highly variable. Creation of an NIH policies repository and accompanying toolkit with model language and recommended key elements could improve comprehensiveness, ethical integrity, and efficiency in team science work while reducing burden and cost on newly funded consortia and directing time and resources to scientific endeavors.

description: There has been recent criticism of our approach to the Casimir force between real metallic surfaces at finite temperature, saying it is in conflict with the third law of thermodynamics and in contradiction with experiment. We show that these claims are unwarranted, and that our approach has strong theoretical support, while the experimental situation is still unclear.

description: We present a new method for photometering objects in galaxy clusters. We introduce a mode-filtering technique for removing spatially variable backgrounds, improving both detection and photometric accuracy (roughly halving the scatter in the red sequence compared to previous catalogs of the same clusters). This method is based on robustly determining the distribution of background pixel values and should provide comparable improvement in photometric analysis of any crowded fields. We produce new multiwavelength catalogs for the 25 CLASH cluster fields in all 16 bandpasses from the UV through the near IR, as well as rest-frame magnitudes. A comparison with spectroscopic values from the literature finds a ~30% decrease in the redshift deviation from previously-released CLASH photometry. This improvement in redshift precision, in combination with a detection scheme designed to maximize purity, yields a substantial upgrade in cluster member identification over the previous CLASH galaxy catalog. We construct luminosity functions for each cluster, reliably reaching depths of at least 4.5 mag below M* in every case, and deeper still in several clusters. We measure M* , $α$, and their redshift evolution, assuming the cluster populations are coeval, and find little to no evolution of $α$, $-0.9\lesssim\langleα\rangle\lesssim -0.8$, and M* values consistent with passive evolution. We present a catalog of galaxy photometry, photometric and spectroscopic redshifts, and rest-frame photometry for the full fields of view of all 25 CLASH clusters. Not only will our new photometric catalogs enable new studies of the properties of CLASH clusters, but mode-filtering techniques, such as those presented here, should greatly enhance the data quality of future photometric surveys of crowded fields.

description: Some institutions have issued blacklists of academic journals in China and use them as a basis for research evaluation. However, due to a lack of transparent formulation criteria, the characteristics of blacklisted journals remain unclear. Using blacklisted academic journals of the East China University of Political Science and Law, this study analyzed differences in characteristics between blacklisted and non-blacklisted journals via web surveys and statistical analyses. Statistically significant differences were detected for article review time, article processing charges (APCs), the number of editorial board members, and the journal impact factor. There was no significant difference in the number of editors. While there is scientific merit in creating and publishing a blacklist of academic journals, the list development process requires more rigorous evaluation and a public process of development.
On the transfer matrix of the supersymmetric eight-vertex model. I. Periodic boundary conditions

description: The square-lattice eight-vertex model with vertex weights $a,b,c,d$ obeying the relation $(a^2+ab)(b^2+ab) = (c^2+ab)(d^2+ab)$ and periodic boundary conditions is considered. It is shown that the transfer matrix of the model for $L=2n+1$ vertical lines and periodic boundary conditions along the horizontal direction possesses the doubly degenerate eigenvalue $Θ_n = (a+b)^{2n+1}$. This proves a conjecture by Stroganov from 2001. The proof uses the supersymmetry of a related XYZ spin-chain Hamiltonian. The eigenstates of the transfer matrix corresponding to $Θ_n$ are shown to be the ground states of the spin-chain Hamiltonian. Moreover, for positive vertex weights $Θ_n$ is the largest eigenvalue of the transfer matrix.

description: In this work we study the sensitivity on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau-neutrino in the framework of the $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y\times U(1)_{B-L}$ electroweak model at future $e^+e^-$ linear colliders as the ILC and CLIC. For our study we consider the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ( Z, Z', γ) \to ν_τ\bar ν_τγ$. For center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}=1000-3000\hspace{0.8mm}GeV$ and integrated luminosities of ${\cal L}=500-2000\hspace{0.8mm}fb^{-1}$, we derive $95 \% \hspace{1mm}$ C.L. limits on the dipole moments $|μ_{ν_τ}(μ_B)| \leq 6.28 \times 10^{-9}$ and $|d_{ν_τ}(e cm)| \leq 1.21 \times 10^{-21}$ improve the existing limits by two or three orders of magnitude. Our study complements other studies on the dipole moments of the tau-neutrino at hadron and $e^+e^-$ colliders.

title: The Dropout Effects of Career Pathways: Evidence from California
Creators: name: Bonilla, Sade
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

Subjects: subject: Higher Education

description: Contemporary Career and Technical Education (CTE) models have shifted from isolated courses to sequences of study that integrate academics and skills in high-demand sectors. Providing career pathways to high school students may reduce asymmetries about the available careers and strategies for attaining them but they may also catalyze students’ intrinsic motivation by shifting their understanding of their social role and capacity for success. In this study, I estimate the effects of an ambitious $500 million effort to encourage the formation of career pathways in California. Funding supported the formation of tripartite partnerships between K-12 school districts, employers and community colleges to develop career pathway curricula (i.e., articulated course sequences) in high-demand occupations and sectors. I provide causal estimates of implementing this multifaceted intervention by leveraging a natural experiment that occurs at the margin of grant receipt. Using Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs, I provide evidence on the most proximate mechanism, increased CTE spending. Per pupil CTE expenditures increased by 21.7 percent for grant recipients at the assignment threshold relative to the CTE spending of unsuccessful applicants. Furthermore, dropout rates declined by 23 percent in treatment districts but were more pronounced for females than males.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
