description: We consider supersymmetric holographic flows that involve background gauge fields dual to chemical potentials in the boundary field theory. We use a consistent truncation of gauged N=8 supergravity in five dimensions and we give a complete analysis of the supersymmetry conditions for a large family of flows. We examine how the well-known supersymmetric flow between two fixed points is modified by the presence of the chemical potentials and this yields a new, completely smooth, solution that interpolates between two global AdS spaces of different radii and with different values of the chemical potential. We also examine some black-hole-like singular flows and a new non-supersymmetric black hole solution. We comment on the interpretation of our new solutions in terms of giant gravitons and discuss the implications of our work for finding black-hole solutions in AdS geometries.

description: Short-period super-Earths and mini-Neptunes encircle more than $\sim50\%$ of Sun-like stars and are relatively amenable to direct observational characterization. Despite this, environments in which these planets accrete are difficult to probe directly. Nevertheless, pairs of planets that are close to orbital resonances provide a unique window into the inner regions of protoplanetary disks, as they preserve the conditions of their formation, as well as the early evolution of their orbital architectures. In this work, we present a novel approach toward quantifying transit timing variations within multi-planetary systems and examine the near-resonant dynamics of over 100 planet pairs detected by \textit{Kepler}. Using an integrable model for first-order resonances, we find a clear transition from libration to circulation of the resonant angle at a period ratio of $\approx 0.6\%$ wide of exact resonance. The orbital properties of these systems indicate that they systematically lie far away from the resonant forced equilibrium. Cumulatively our modeling indicates that while orbital architectures shaped by strong disk damping or tidal dissipation are inconsistent with observations, a scenario where stochastic stirring by turbulent eddies augments the dissipative effects of protoplanetary disks reproduces several features of the data.

description: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges of English language
teachers in the practice and Implementation of school based CPD at Waka Secondary and
Preparatory School, Mari Secondary and Preparatory School and GozoBamushi
Secondary schools of Mareka Woreda.  School based Continuous Professional
Development (CPD) has been implemented in Ethiopian schools with the aim of
enhancing the classroom practices of teachers and consequently improving the
achievement of students. This study is an attempt to analyze the practices and challenges
of implementing CPD in the selected Secondary and Preparatory school found in Mareka
Woreda. The study used a qualitative methodology guided by the interpretive paradigm.
Teachers, the school principal, the cluster supervisor, Woreda education expert and the
school CPD facilitator were purposely selected as sources of data for the study. Interview,
observation and document analysis were also used as data gathering instruments. Data
were analyzed in the form of narration. The analyses of the data revealed that the CPD
practices at the selected General Secondary and Preparatory school do not have the basic
features of successful teacher professional development programs. Though the
administrative structure to run the CPD program is set at school level, the school context
is not supportive enough to run the program; the CPD program is not strongly linked with
the school improvement program and students’ achievement; and it is not engaging the
teachers. Teachers have prepared pseudo report on CPD activities in order not to be
blamed. So, serious consideration should be given mainly to the capacity development of
all the stakeholders involved in the delivery of the CPD program.

description: Task 7.4 focuses on testing and validating resulting ENVRI-FAIR services at different levels, including
 individual RI, subdomain, cluster and EOSC. WP7 will support subdomains by testing and validating their
 specific service developments. Moreover, WP7 will test and validate the resulting ENVRI-FAIR services
 portfolio at the subdomain, cluster and EOSC level, following the validation guidelines as provided by WP5.
 In D7.7 the cluster validation activities have been specified and each will test real scientific use cases to
 check the quality and validate the applicability of (ENVRI-)FAIR services. The EOSC validation activities
 will test the readiness of the ENVRI-FAIR services at the sub-domain and cluster level for uptake and
 integration into EOSC together with their possible integrability into the ENVRI service catalogue being
 developed in WP5.
 As a result, the test and validation activities will provide feedback to the RI’s and subdomains as to the results
 of testing and validation and make recommendations to help steer development effectively throughout the
 project. Additionally, it will provide a report on validation results to WP5 (T5.4) for inclusion in synthesis
 analysis on the readiness of ENVRI-FAIR services for uptake in EOSC.

description: Starting from a multichannel quantum-defect theory, we derive analytic descriptions of a magnetic Feshbach resonance in an arbitrary partial wave $l$, and the atomic interactions around it. An analytic formula, applicable to both broad and narrow resonances of arbitrary $l$, is presented for ultracold atomic scattering around a Feshbach resonance. Other related issues addressed include (a) the parametrization of a magnetic Feshbach resonance of arbitrary $l$, (b) rigorous definitions of "broad" and "narrow" resonances of arbitrary $l$ and their different scattering characteristics, and (c) the tuning of the effective range and the generalized effective range by a magnetic field.

description: Individual differences imply distinctive attributes which exist within individual discerning
one  from  another.  In  academic  sphere,  the  matches  or  mismatches  of  instructional
practice  with  the  students’  learning  preference  is  usually  determined  by  the  awareness
teachers  held  about  students’  learning  uniqueness.  Therefore,  this  paper  reports
descriptive  survey  study  assessing  teachers’  awareness  and  handling  of  students’
individual  differences  mainly  motivation  and  attitude,  ability,  personality,  learning
strategy and gender  in  English classroom.  The researcher  employed  three instruments:
questionnaire,  classroom  observation  and  interview  as  data  gathering  tools.
Questionnaire  and  observation  were  used  about  teachers’  classroom  practice  but
interview  for  their  awareness.170  students  randomly  and8English  Language  teachers
purposively  were  selected  as sources of  data.  For the intention of making the data clear
for  the  readers,  percentage  was  used  to  analyze  quantitative  data  whereas  qualitative
data  were  described  narrating  in  words  and  whose  interpretation  was  done  in
accordance with the objectives of the study. Findings of the study indicated teachers were
not  handling  their students’ individual  differences and  aware of  them  in the classroom.
Moreover,  teachers  also  were  not  providing  and  addressing  learners’  learning
differences.  Finally,  based  on  the  findings,  recommendations  were  pointed  for  the
responsible stakeholders to find solutions.

description: We present growth of structure constraints from the cosmological analysis of the power spectrum multipoles of SDSS-III BOSS DR12 galaxies. We use the galaxy power spectrum model of Hand et al. (2017), which decomposes the galaxies into halo mass bins, each of which is modeled separately using the relations between halo biases and halo mass. The model combines Eulerian perturbation theory and halo model calibrated on $N$-body simulations to model the halo clustering. In this work, we also generate the covariance matrix by combining the analytic disconnected part with the empirical connected part: we smooth the connected component by selecting a few principal components and show that it achieves good agreement with the mock covariance. Our analysis differs from recent analyses in that we constrain a single parameter $fσ_8$ fixing everything else to Planck+BAO prior, thereby reducing the effects of prior volume and mismodeling. We find tight constraints on $fσ_8$: $fσ_8(z_{\mathrm{eff}}=0.38)=0.489 \pm 0.038$ and $fσ_8(z_{\mathrm{eff}}=0.61)=0.455 \pm 0.028$ at $k_{\mathrm{max}} = 0.2\ h$Mpc$^{-1}$, with an overall amplitude error of 5%, and in good agreement (within 0.3 sigma) of Planck amplitude. We discuss the sensitivity of cosmological parameter estimation to the choice of scale cuts, covariance matrix, and the inclusion of hexadecapole $P_4(k)$. We show that with $k_{\mathrm{max}} = 0.4\ h$Mpc$^{-1}$ the constraints improve considerably to an overall 3.2% amplitude error, but there is some evidence of model misspecification on MultiDark-PATCHY mocks. Choosing $k_{\mathrm{max}}$ consistently and reliably remains the main challenge of RSD analysis methods.

description: This study was done to compare the content validity of standardized and non-standardized
language achievement tests. The sampled non-standardized language achievement tests for
this  study  were  taken  from  Gurage Zone.  These tests  are teacher-made  achievement  tests
with the purpose of modeling the EGSEC tests. Similar with the EGSEC English tests they
contained 80 multiple choice questions. The study was done with the assumption that the two
language achievement tests were dissimilar. The study was conducted with mixed design. The
collected  nominal  data  from  the  relevant  data  sources  were  analyzed  quantitatively  and
qualitatively.  The  content  compatibility  of  each  expected  and  observed  data  was  checked
with Pearson chi-square analysis. The measures of association between the above variables
have also  been  computed  with Contingency formula. The  rank  and  percentage  of  syllabus
objectives  in  the  syllabus  and in  sampled  tests  were  also  judged  based  on  decisions’ of
judges. Moreover, data related with the preparation of the two kinds of tests were collected
through interviewing two purposively selected experts. The finding of the study has showed
that the two kinds of tests were contently not well representative of the contents/objectives in
the syllabus. The average chi value of EGSEC tests resulted 50.24 where as the average chi
value of zonal tests resulted 139.7.This entails that the zonal test was highly divergent of the
syllabus than the EGSEC English tests did. The measures of association of the zonal tests
were also weaker than the EGSEC English tests. Thus, the assumption made at the start of
the research was confirmed that zonal tests in Gurage zone were contently divergent even
more than the standardized English tests. In addition, comparison of the two tests was done
based on five judges’ decision of the syllabus objectives and sample tests. 80% of the zonal
and  67%  of  the  EGSEC  English  tests  were  sampled  from  cognitive  domain  though  the
textbook  has  given  high  (60%)  for  psychomotor domain.  In general,  in  all ways of the
comparisons,  zonal  tests  were  more  contently  unrepresentative  sample  of  the  textbooks
contents  and  learning  objectives  where  they  should  be  better
Thunder and being : attribution, continuity, and symbolic capital in a Nuxalk community
Creators: name: Smith, Christopher Wesley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This ethnography investigates how Nuxalk carpenters (artists) and cultural specialists discursively connect themselves to cultural treasures and historic makers through attributions and staked cultural knowledge. A recent wave of information in the form of digital images of ancestral objects, long-absent from the community, has enabled Nuxalk members to develop connoisseurial skills to reinterpret, reengage, and re-indigenize those objects while constructing cultural continuity and mobilizing symbolic capital in their community, the art market, and between each other. The methodologies described in this ethnography and deployed by Nuxalk people draw from both traditional knowledge and formal analysis, problematizing the presumed binary division between these epistemologies in First Nations art scholarship and texts. By developing competencies with objects though exposure and familiarity, Nuxalk carpenters and cultural specialists are driving a spiritual and artistic resurgence within their community. One example of a traditional knowledge being returned to the Nuxalk is the “carpenter’s mark,” a crease on the palms of some carpenters connecting them to supernatural events and prominent ancestors who shared this rare physical feature. Through case studies and interviews, this thesis demonstrates that 1) Nuxalk carpenters and community members build and mobilize relationships to ancestral carpenters and iconic objects as cultural and symbolic capital, 2) Nuxalk carpenters have indigenized aspects of formal art analysis in their engagements with objects and images of objects in developing connoisseurial skills that draw coequally from traditional ways of knowing and formalism and 3) the carpenter’s mark, a single transverse palmar crease, serves as a physical connection between historic and contemporary carpenters and is a vehicle for both continuity and symbolic capital.
Understanding the epidemiology of young-onset colorectal cancer and information needs of patients and survivors
Creators: name: Saad El Din, Khalid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Introduction: Recent evidence suggests that the risk of young-onset colorectal cancer (yCRC) is significantly increasing. Furthermore, the information needs of this population are not well understood. Unmet information needs are associated with ineffective disease self-management and negative health outcomes. Therefore, it is pertinent to understand the changing epidemiology of yCRC and the information needs of this population. Objectives: This thesis aims 1) to systematically review the literature on the incidence and prevalence trends of yCRC; 2) to determine the information-seeking behaviours of individuals with yCRC; and 3) to determine the information needs of individuals with yCRC. Methods: To address Objective 1, a systematic review was conducted. Databases were searched for studies that: used an epidemiologic design, assessed trends in yCRC incidence or prevalence, and published in English. To address Objective 2, descriptive statistics and proportions of information-seeking behaviours were reported. Lastly, Objective 3 was addressed by reporting proportions of information items unmet. Predictors of corresponding unmet information needs were assessed using multivariable logistic regression models. Results: 1) The search returned 8,695 articles with 40 studies from 12 countries across five continents. Thirty-nine studies assessed trends in yCRC incidence and only one study prevalence trends. Noteworthy, 17 studies from North America and Oceania consistently reported increasing incidence trends in yCRC. Among studies assessing cancer site, nine (of 14) showed an increased risk of rectal cancer in adults less than 50 years. 2) A sample of 366 yCRC respondents, predominantly consisting of highly-educated white women, was analyzed. At respondents’ most recent search of yCRC information (N= 323), 143 respondents relied on the Internet. 3) Among 39 information need items, 26 unmet information needs were found. Conclusion: This thesis provided evidence that risk of yCRC is increasing predominantly in North America and Oceania, driven by rising rectal cancers in younger adults over the past two decades. In addition, this thesis reports that the information needs of the recruited sample were substantially unmet.

description: Aims: The present study was conducted to determine the optical extinction curve for Cerro Paranal under typical clear-sky observing conditions, with an accuracy of 0.01 mag/airmass. Methods: The extinction curve of Paranal was obtained through low-resolution spectroscopy of 8 spectrophotometric standard stars observed with FORS1 mounted at the 8.2 m Very Large Telescope, covering a spectral range 3300-8000 A. A total of 600 spectra were collected on more than 40 nights distributed over six months, from October 2008 to March 2009. The average extinction curve was derived using a global fit algorithm, which allowed us to simultaneously combine all the available data. The main atmospheric parameters were retrieved using the LBLRTM radiative transfer code, which was also utilised to study the impact of variability of the main molecular bands of O2, O3, and H2O, and to estimate their column densities. Results: In general, the extinction curve of Paranal appears to conform to those derived for other astronomical sites in the Atacama desert, like La Silla and Cerro Tololo. However, a systematic deficit with respect to the extinction curve derived for Cerro Tololo before the El Chichon eruption is detected below 4000 A. We attribute this downturn to a non standard aerosol composition, probably revealing the presence of volcanic pollutants above the Atacama desert. An analysis of all spectroscopic extinction curves obtained since 1974 shows that the aerosol composition has been evolving during the last 35 years. The persistence of traces of non meteorologic haze suggests the effect of volcanic eruptions, like those of El Chichon and Pinatubo, lasts several decades. The usage of the standard CTIO and La Silla extinction curves implemented in IRAF and MIDAS produce systematic over/under-estimates of the absolute flux.

description: Jones-matrix optical coherence tomography (JM-OCT) is an extension of OCT that provides multiple types of optical contrasts of biological and clinical samples. JM-OCT measures the spatial distribution of the Jones matrix of the sample and also its time sequence. All contrasts (i.e., multi-contrast OCT images) are then computed from the Jones matrix. The contrasts obtained from the Jones matrix include the conventional and polarization-insensitive OCT intensity, cumulative and local phase retardation (birefringence), degree-of-polarization uniformity quantifying the polarization randomness of the sample, signal attenuation coefficient, sample scatterer density, Doppler OCT, OCT angiography, and dynamic OCT. JM-OCT is a generalized version of OCT because it measures the generalized form of the sample information; i.e., the Jones matrix sequence. This review summarizes the basic conception, mathematical principle, hardware implementation, signal and image processing, and biological and clinical applications of JM-OCT. Advanced technical topics, including JM-OCT-specific noise correction and quantity estimation and JM-OCT's self-calibration nature, are also described.
The Relationship between Students’ Vocabulary Learning Strategies and Their Beliefs about Vocabulary Learning:  The Case of Beto Secondary and Preparatory School.
Creators: name: TESFAYE TAYE ZELEKE
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Vocabulary learning is the core element in L2 acquisition and hence the utility of vocabulary
learning strategy, having the beliefs about vocabulary learning is inevitable for the success in
acquisition of new words or the L2 learning as well. However, the fact that majority of the students
in the study spot were certainly in deficiency of word knowledge in their skill performance as a
result of the utility of strategies and as the beliefs they hold during vocabulary learning. Thus, the
present study attempted to bring forth information about students’ vocabulary learning strategies and
beliefs about vocabulary learning based on their learning experience. Further search was made to
examine the relationship between VLS and BVL. Accordingly, Beto secondary and preparatory
school was selected for its availability of enough number of samples. 100 students were selected
from grade 10 for the questionnaires through simple random sampling technique. 5 participants were
selected among the respondents, who participated in the questionnaire, using simple lottery method.
A questionnaire and interviews were administered to collect data on the issues involved. The study
employed descriptive method involving both qualitative and quantitative methods. Descriptive
analysis was made using the percentages of each specific item. Afterwards the total percentage and
grand means of each category of strategies and beliefs were used to obtain the results. Regarding
quantitative data analysis, the spss.v16 software was used to identify the relationship between the
strategies and beliefs. Descriptions of data were made by using the results from the correlation
coefficient (r) and the p-value for its association.
The results show that students do not utilize vocabulary learning strategies, but they possess beliefs
about vocabulary learning. The result also proves that there were no correlations between these two
variables.
On gauge transformation property of coordinate independent SO(9) vector states in SU(2) Matrix Theory

description: We investigate coordinate independent SO(9) vector states in SU(2) Matrix theory. There are 36 vector states, and we determine what representations of SU(2) they are decomposed into. Among them we find a unique set of states transforming in adjoint representation. We show that this set of states can appear as the linear term in the coordinate matrices in Taylor expansion of zero energy bound state wavefunction around the origin i.e. it satisfies the condition of full supersymmetry.

description: We have analysed the early LHC signatures of the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model. Our emphasis is on the 7 - $TeV$ run corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $\sim 1.0 ~fb^{-1}$ although we have also discussed briefly the prospects at LHC-10 $TeV$. We focus on the parameter space yielding relatively light squark and gluinos consistent with the darkmatter relic density data and the LEP bounds on the lightest Higgs scalar mass. This parameter space is only allowed for non-vanishing trilinear soft breaking term $A_0$. A significant region of the parameter space with large to moderate negative values of $A_0$ consistent with the stability of the scalar potential and relic density production via neutralino annihilation and/or neutralino - stau coannihilation yields observable signal via the jets + missing transverse energy channel. The one lepton + jets + missing energy signal is also viable over a smaller but non-trivial parameter space. The ratio of the size of the two signals - free from theoretical uncertainties - may distinguish between different relic density generating mechanisms. With efficient $τ$-tagging facilities at 7 $TeV$ the discriminating power may increase significantly. We also comment on other dark matter relic density allowed mSUGRA scenarios and variants there of in the context of LHC-7 $TeV$.

description: Online social media represent an oftentimes unique source of information, and having access to reliable and unbiased content is crucial, especially during crises and contentious events. We study the spread of propaganda and misinformation that circulated on Facebook and Twitter during the first few months of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. By leveraging two large datasets of millions of social media posts, we estimate the prevalence of Russian propaganda and low-credibility content on the two platforms, describing temporal patterns and highlighting the disproportionate role played by superspreaders in amplifying unreliable content. We infer the political leaning of Facebook pages and Twitter users sharing propaganda and misinformation, and observe they tend to be more right-leaning than the average. By estimating the amount of content moderated by the two platforms, we show that only about 8-15% of the posts and tweets sharing links to Russian propaganda or untrustworthy sources were removed. Overall, our findings show that Facebook and Twitter are still vulnerable to abuse, especially during crises: we highlight the need to urgently address this issue to preserve the integrity of online conversations.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Theoretical studies of Higgs production via gluon fusion are frequently carried out in the limit where the top quark mass is much larger than the Higgs mass, an approximation which reduces the top quark loop to an effective vertex. We present a numerical analysis of the error thus introduced by performing a Monte Carlo calculation for gg->h in kT-factorisation, using the parton shower generator CASCADE. We proceed to compare CASCADE to the collinear Monte Carlos PYTHIA, MC@NLO and POWHEG. We study the dependence of parton radiation on the resummation of high-energy corrections taken into account by kT-factorisation, and its influence on predictions for the Higgs pT spectrum.

description: ABSTRACT
The present study investigated the effect of authentic listening materials on Laska secondary
and preparatory school grade nine students‟ listening performance and attitude towards
learning listening skill in EFL classes. Experimental research design was used in this study.
The random sampling method was used to select 60 grade nine participants from Laska
secondary and preparatory school.  Each group consisted of 30 students. Data were collected
using test and questionnaire. Before starting the treatment, similar listening test were given
for them as a pretest to check their listening performance. At the end of the treatment,
attitude questionnaire was distributed and post  listening test was given both groups. The
analysis of the quantitative data was made using SPPS. Analysis of Independent sample t-test
showed no significant difference  between two groups at pre-intervention stages. But a 2-
tailed Independent sample t-test at post t showed significant difference between two groups.
This revealed that there was a significant difference in the mean scores of students‟ learning
test results in favor of the experimental group. Correspondingly, 2-tailed paired sample t-test
for mean difference between experimental group pre and post-intervention attitude showed
that they had similar attitude toward learning listening skill in EFL class before and after
intervention with an average that nearly equals agree (3.96). So, English language teacher
should use different authentic materials to enhance the students‟ attitude towards to listening
skill and listening performance.

description: The factorization theorems of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) apply equally well to most simple quantum field theories that require renormalization but where direct calculations are much more straightforward. Working with these simpler theories is convenient for stress-testing the limits of the factorization program and for examining general properties of the parton density functions (pdfs) or other correlation functions that might be necessary for a factorized description of a process. With this view in mind, we review the steps of factorization in a real scalar Yukawa field theory for both deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) cross sections. In the case of SIDIS, we illustrate how to separate the small transverse momentum region, where transverse momentum dependent (TMD) pdfs are needed, from a purely collinear large transverse momentum region, and we examine the influence of subleading power corrections. We also review the steps for formulating TMD factorization in transverse coordinate space, and we study the effect of transforming to the well-known $b_*$-scheme. Within the Yukawa theory, we investigate the consequences of switching to a generalized parton model (GPM) approach, and compare with a fully factorized approach. Our results highlight the need to address similar or analogous issues in QCD.

description: Limb amputation is devastating for those affected and is a significant factor in rising health
care cost. In Ethiopia like other developing country trauma is the most causes of amputation. This is mainly due
to  late complication  of  trauma  management  like  wet  gangrene,  gas  gangrene  and  chronic  osteomyelitis. The
inappropriate use and care of splints (both bamboo and plaster) in the management of fractures by Medical Staff
and Traditional Healer is one of factors associated with limb amputation.
Objective: To assessMagnitude and associated factors oflimb amputation among orthopedic procedures at Arba
Minch General Hospital fromSeptember 2014-Augst 30/2017.
Methods: Facility based  cross  sectional  study  was used  to  conductthe  study  from  cards  of  orthopedic
procedures utilizing a three years data. Systematic sampling technique was used to select representative of 384
study subjects. Socio-demographic and limb amputation related information was reviewed from Patient medical
records using Structured and pretested checklists.Epi-Info version 7.0 and SPSS version 21.0 was used for data
entry  and  analysis  respectively.  Descriptive  statistics  and  bivariate  analyses  were  computed. Variables
associated  at  bivariate  logistic  regression  with  significance  level  of  P<  0.25  wereentered  into  multivariate
logistic regression model and then variables with P <0.05 was considered statisticallyas significantassociation
with limb amputation.
RESULTS: From  a  total  of  384 samples 61(15.9%) limb  amputation  were  performed.  The  mean  age  of  the
study subjects were 27(SD + 17).Amputation was common in age group <18yr in 25(41%) patients followed
22(36%)  in  19-37yrs.  In  this  study  amputation  was  more  common  in  male  39(64%)  than  female
22(36%).independent variable like infection, time of arrival >7hr, pre hospital treatment, place of pre hospital
visit diabetes  mellitus  and  rural  residence  was  found  to  have  association  with  amputation  at  P<0.25.  On
Multivariate logistic regression infection (p=0.001 (AOR=24.311, 95%CI (5.868-75.045) and traditional healer
treatment (P=0.001 (AOR=30.976, 95% CI (4.221-22.734) have significant association with limb amputation.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDETION:The study has revealed magnitude of limb amputation 15.9%.
Infection  and  pre  hospital  treatment  by  traditional  healer  (wogesha)  was  found  to  be  significantly  associated
with  limb  amputation. Developing  appropriate  strategy  to  prevent  orthopedic  infection  and  providing  health
education for traditional bone setters (Wogesha) on adverse effect of tight splint age of fracture and putting law
enforcement to make them responsible for early referral of patients was recommended.

description: This dissertation examines president Eisenhower’s ‘Open Skies’ policy and its links with American defence strategy of the 1950s. Based principally on archival sources, especially the records of the Eisenhower Presidential Library, it will assess the foreign policy issues and domestic pressures that influenced Eisenhower’s desire to implement a system of mutual aerial inspection with the Soviet Union from July 1955. The first chapter will focus on the background to the rise of the military establishment in America after 1945, which Eisenhower later referred to as a military-industrial complex. Chapter Two examines the president’s defence strategy, which became known as the New Look, and the ways in which this strategy embraced not only a military response towards the perceived threat of Soviet communism but also included non-military measures. Chapter Three focuses on the background to the Geneva summit, at which Open Skies was proposed to the Russians. In particular, it will assess Eisenhower’s efforts to strengthen Western allied unity so that constructive negotiations with the Russians could be undertaken. Chapter Four will focus on Nelson Rockefeller and the Quantico Panel. Think tanks played an influential role in shaping foreign policy during the early Cold War period. Chapters Five and Six examine Eisenhower’s attempts to implement Open Skies with the Soviets after July 1955. In order to confront the growing challenges to the New Look and cuts in defence budgets, Eisenhower needed reliable intelligence on the Soviet Union that would quell exaggerated estimates about Russian military capabilities. The dissertation concludes that Open Skies was neither a transient measure nor an attempt by Eisenhower to achieve a propaganda advantage over the Soviet Union. It is argued instead that his desire to implement this initiative was linked to his determination to control the military-industrial complex in America, an interpretation that has not been addressed by historians.

description: Stellar streams are sensitive probes of the Galactic potential. The likelihood of a stream model given stream data is often assessed using simulations. However, comparing to simulations is challenging when even the stream paths can be hard to quantify. Here we present a novel application of Self-Organizing Maps and first-order Kalman Filters to reconstruct a stream's path, propagating measurement errors and data sparsity into the stream path uncertainty. The technique is Galactic-model independent, non-parametric, and works on phase-wrapped streams. With this technique, we can uniformly analyze and compare data with simulations, enabling both comparison of simulation techniques and ensemble analysis with stream tracks of many stellar streams. Our method is implemented in the public Python package TrackStream, available at https://github.com/nstarman/trackstream.
