Program analysis

description: Machine learning models have many applications, being used for example in pattern analysis, image classification, or sentiment analysis for textual data, and also in medical diagnosis or perception and control in autonomous driving, which bring safety and security concerns. Machine learning models are hard to systematically analyze due to their complex nature. The efficacy of machine learning models is typically determined by computing their accuracy on test datasets. However, this may often be misleading, since the test data may not be representative of the problem that is being studied. Moreover, trained models can have defects that need repair. Our thesis is that program analysis and repair techniques like model counting and constraint solving can be applied to the field of machine learning to solve these problems. This insight enables us to propose i) a set of tools and techniques which can precisely quantify the extent to which machine learning models have learned and generalized from the given data, and ii) a set of tools and techniques which can improve the performance of machine learning models. Our work makes six key contributions. First, it presents a new technique that uses model counting to determine the true performance of binary decision trees. Second, it presents the first framework to quantify the learnability, safety, and robustness of machine learning models. Third, it presents the first framework that can test model counters using differential and metamorphic testing. Fourth, it presents a new framework for the symbolic analysis of neural networks that can be used for coverage-based testing and test generation, finding adversarial examples, and constraint-based repair of neural networks, thus improving the reliability of the applications that use them. Fifth, it presents a new constraint-based approach for repairing neural network classifiers. The technique uses fault localization to find potentially faulty network parameters (such as the weights) and then performs repair using constraint solving to apply small modifications to the parameters to remedy the defects. Sixth, it presents a lightweight automated detection and correction technique against poisoning attacks, which is based on neuron patterns mined from the network based on a small set of clean and poisoned test samples with known labels.

description: AGB variables, particularly the large amplitude Mira type, are a vital step on the distance scale ladder. They will prove particularly important in the era of space telescopes and extremely large ground-based telescopes with adaptive optics, which will be optimized for infrared observing. Our current understanding of the distances to these stars is reviewed with particular emphasis on improvements that came from Hipparcos as well as on recent work on Local Group galaxies. In addition to providing the essential calibration for extragalactic distances Gaia may also provide unprecedented insight into the poorly understood mass-loss process itself.

description: We demonstrate how to discriminate two non-orthogonal, entangled quantum state which are slightly different from each other by using pseudo-Hermitian system. The positive definite metric operator which makes the pseudo-Hermitian systems fully consistent quantum theory is used for such a state discrimination. We further show that non-orthogonal states can evolve through a suitably constructed pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian to orthogonal states. Such evolution ceases at exceptional points of the pseudo-Hermitian system.

description: Aims: We present mid-infrared observations and photometry of the transitional disks around the young stellar objects DH Tau, DM Tau, and GM Aur, obtained with VISIR/VLT in N band. Our aim is to resolve the inner region and the large-scale structures of these transitional disks, carrying potential signatures of intermediate or later stages of disk evolution and ongoing planet formation. Methods: We use the simultaneously observed standard-stars as PSF reference to constrain the radial flux profiles of our target objects. Subtracting the obtained standard-star profile from the corresponding science object profile yields the flux residuals produced by the star-disk system. A detection threshold takes into account the background standard deviation and also the seeing variations during the observations to evaluate the significance of these flux residuals. On the basis of a simple model for the dust re-emission, we derive constraints on the inner radius of the dust disk. Results: We spatially resolve the transitional disk around GM Aur and determine an inner-disk hole radius of 20.5(+1.0,-0.5) AU. The circumstellar disks around DH Tau and DM Tau are not spatially resolved but we are able to constrain the inner-disk hole radius to <15.5(+9.0,-2.0) AU and <15.5(+0.5,-0.5) AU, respectively. The performed photometry yields fluxes of 178+-31 mJy for DH Tau, 56+-6 mJy for DM Tau, and 229+-14 mJy for GM Aur.

description: Wild swift fox (Vulpes velox) were observed in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan in May - August, 1991 - 1992. Discriminant function analyses indicated that occupied sites were located on hill tops, close to roads, and with taller grass than unoccupied sites. Female parents and kits exhibited a modified diel activity pattern during the whelping period. Percent of each hour spent above ground at the den by kits was typically related to that spent above ground by adult females. Reduced use of areas outside dens coincided with high external temperatures. Swift fox use multiple dens during the whelping season and ground squirrels, prairie hares, and voles were important prey items. Foxes also display elaborate behaviours associated with play and caching prey items. These results are used to evaluate captive-rearing, pre-release training, field program schedules, and selection of release sites.
Remedies for the Empire : the eighteenth century Spanish botanical expeditions to the new world
Creators: name: Nieto Olarte, Mauricio
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Under the reign of Carlos III the Spanish government set up ambitious expeditions to the New World in order to investigate the medical virtues of the tropical vegetation. The explorers remained in America for several years collecting numerous new species, and they brought back to Europe large collections of dried plants, botanical drawings, samples and descriptions of useful plants. The case of quinine (Cinchona) is an outstanding instance of the medical, scientific and commercial issues involved in the exploration of the New World, and is one of the several discussed in detail in the dissertation. The investigation shows how colonial mercantile policies motivated the development of pharmacy during the eighteenth century and how knowledge in particular areas of natural history such as medicine and botany was shaped by economic, political and religious interests. Scientific exploration and natural history are described as forms of appropriation. Classifying and naming plants were essential practices for the displacement and accumulation of natural objects. The elaboration and central role of visual representations as well as the publication of floras are also examined in detail. The legitimation of botanical and medical knowledge involved a process of translation from folk experience into enlightened science. In this process of certification Linnaean taxonomy and eighteenth century pharmacy had central roles. My investigation provides an analysis of these practices and of the social and political interests which made them possible. Finally, my research is concerned with the influence of scientific exploration upon the nations in which the expeditions took place. The creation of scientific traditions in the Spanish America and the practice of European science by an elite of creoles had an important effect on the history of Latin America.

description: Photosynthetic light harvesting provides a natural blueprint for bioengineered and biomimetic solar energy and light detection technologies. Recent evidence suggests some individual light harvesting protein complexes (LHCs) and LHC subunits efficiently transfer excitons towards chemical reaction centers (RCs) via an interplay between excitonic quantum coherence, resonant protein vibrations, and thermal decoherence. The role of coherence in vivo is unclear however, where excitons are transferred through multi-LHC/RC aggregates over distances typically large compared with intra-LHC scales. Here we assess the possibility of long-range coherent transfer in a simple chromophore network with disordered site and transfer coupling energies. Through renormalization we find that, surprisingly, decoherence is diminished at larger scales, and long-range coherence is facilitated by chromophoric clustering. Conversely, static disorder in the site energies grows with length scale, forcing localization. Our results suggest sustained coherent exciton transfer may be possible over distances large compared with nearest-neighbour (n-n) chromophore separations, at physiological temperatures, in a clustered network with small static disorder. This may support findings suggesting long-range coherence in algal chloroplasts, and provides a framework for engineering large chromophore or quantum dot high-temperature exciton transfer networks.

description: We consider the focusing $L^2$-critical half-wave equation in one space dimension $$ i \partial_t u = D u - |u|^2 u, $$ where $D$ denotes the first-order fractional derivative. Standard arguments show that there is a critical threshold $M_* > 0$ such that all $H^{1/2}$ solutions with $\| u \|_{L^2} < M_*$ extend globally in time, while solutions with $\| u \|_{L^2} \geq M_*$ may develop singularities in finite time. In this paper, we first prove the existence of a family of traveling waves with subcritical arbitrarily small mass. We then give a second example of nondispersive dynamics and show the existence of finite-time blowup solutions with minimal mass $\| u_0 \|_{L^2} = M_*$. More precisely, we construct a family of minimal mass blowup solutions that are parametrized by the energy $E_0 >0$ and the linear momentum $P_0 \in \R$. In particular, our main result (and its proof) can be seen as a model scenario of minimal mass blowup for $L^2$-critical nonlinear PDE with nonlocal dispersion.

description: The work described in this thesis represents an attack on certain problems of separation and identification which are presented by fish liver oils. A way has been sought for separating the mired highly-unsaturated acids which are present (together with numerous saturated and mono- olefinic acid ¿fa as glycerides in fish oils, without causing damage thereto by excessive heating or oxidation. There is described a method and technique of high vacuum-distillation (molecular distillation) which has giver separative results which surpass expectation. It is shown that the physical basis of evaporative distillation is such as to preclude separation of the unsaturated members of the fatty acid series (or their esters) which have the same chain length bub differ in the degree of unsaturation; it should however be possible to separate the groups of acids of the same chain-length. By the technique of molecular distillation described, the mixed unsaturated fatty esters from cod liver-oil, cod liver-halibut oil and Japanese sardine oil have been divided with very satisfactory precision into fractions consisting of G C 16 ’ 18 » ^20~> an^ (mixed) higher acids. The characteristic and most abundant highly unsaturated acid of the fish oils is shewn to be a "'22~'hexaene acid (^22^32^2^ ari(^ rt0^ ’the C^-pentaene a°id called Clupanodonlc acid as formerly supposed. Some progress, has been made in the determination of the constitution of this acid, and the possible formulae narrowed down to five. A means of distinction between the "natural” highly-unsaturated acids from fish oils and their heat-changed derivatives (the latter have usually previously been described as "natural" acids) is discussed in connexion with the refractivity/hydrogen value-relationship of the acids, and the claims which have been made in the literature respecting the isolation of pure individual acids are critically reviewed. A section of the thesis is devoted to the determination of the constitution of a highly unsaturated vegetable-oil acid viz punlcic acid from the seeds of Punlea Granatum . This acid is shown to be a genuine third geometrical isomeride of elaeostearic acid.

description: We emphasize the complementarity of timelike and spacelike studies of deep exclusive processes, taking as an example the case of timelike Compton Scattering (TCS) i.e. the exclusive photoproduction of a lepton pair with large invariant mass, vs deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) i.e. the exclusive leptoproduction of a real photon. Both amplitudes factorize with the same generalized parton distributions (GPDs) as their soft parts and coefficient functions which differ significantly at next to leading order in alpha_s. We also stress that data on TCS at very high energy should be available soon thanks to the study of ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC, opening a window on quark and gluon GPDs at very small skewness.

description: This project involved updating processing traffic characteristics data using a series of quality control and analytical programs to produce an estimate of the following parameters of interest; 1) average daily traffic, 2) percent trucks, 3) percent trucks classified as heavy/coal, 4) axles per truck, 5) axles per heavy/coal truck, 6) ESALs per truck axle, 7) ESALs per heavy/coal truck axle, and 8) total ESALs. ESAL estimation parameters used WIM data collected during 2007, 2011, and 2012–2013 (representing 41 stations); and classification data collected in 2010, 2011 and 2012 (representing 1,669 stations).  Computer programs used to process classification data, process weight data, and then combining output to calculate ESALs are contained in the three following programs; 1) CLASS SUMMARY – processes vehicle classification data and produces annual average number of vehicle types at each classification station, 2) LOADOMTR SUMMARY – processes truck weight data to produce axle load distributions by vehicle type, and 3) AGGCALC – processes output form LOADOMTR AND CLASS programs to produce ESAL-related parameters of interest. A flowchart which provides steps of processing data and calculating estimates of ESALs is included in Appendix A and computer code for each of these programs is included in Appendix B.

description: High frequency reporting of energy consumption data in smart grids can be used to infer sensitive information regarding the consumer’s life style and poses serious security and privacy threats. Differential privacy (DP) based privacy models for smart grids ensure privacy when analysing energy consumption data for billing and load monitoring. However, DP models for smart grids are vulnerable to collusion attack where an adversary colludes with malicious smart meters and un-trusted aggregator in order to get private information from other smart meters. We first show the vulnerability of DP based privacy model for smart grids against collusion attacks to establish the need of a collusion resistant privacy model. Then, we propose an Enhanced Differential Private Noise Cancellation Model for Load Monitoring and Billing for Smart Meters (E-DPNCT) which not only provides resistance against collusion attacks but also protects the privacy of the smart grid data while providing accurate billing and load monitoring. We use differential privacy with a split noise cancellation protocol with multiple master smart meters (MSMs) to achieve collusion resistance. We propose an Enhanced Differential Private Noise Cancellation Model for Load Monitoring and Billing for Smart Meters (E-DPNCT) to protect the privacy of the smart grid data using a split noise cancellation protocol with multiple master smart meters (MSMs) to provide accurate billing and load monitoring and resistance against collusion attacks. We did extensive comparison of our E-DPNCT model with state of the art attack resistant privacy preserving models such as EPIC for collusion attack. We simulate our E-DPNCT model with real time data which shows significant improvement in privacy attack scenarios. Further, we analyze the impact of selecting different sensitivity parameters for calibrating DP noise over the privacy of customer electricity profile and accuracy of electricity data aggregation such as load monitoring and billing.

description: Although there have been recent claims that there is a large dispersion in the abundances of the heavy neutron capture elements in the old Galactic globular cluster M92, we show that the measured dispersion for the absolute abundances of four of the rare earth elements within a sample of 12 luminous red giants in M92 (less than or equal to 0.07 dex) does not exceed the relevant sources of uncertainty. As expected from previous studies, the heavy elements show the signature of the r-process. Their abundance ratios are essentially identical to those of M30, another nearby globular cluster of similar metallicity.

description: In this paper, we present a high-order expansion for elliptic equations in high-contrast media. The background conductivity is taken to be one and we assume the medium contains high (or low) conductivity inclusions. We derive an asymptotic expansion with respect to the contrast and provide a procedure to compute the terms in the expansion. The computation of the expansion does not depend on the contrast which is important for simulations. The latter allows avoiding increased mesh resolution around high conductivity features. This work is partly motivated by our earlier work in \cite{ge09_1} where we design efficient numerical procedures for solving high-contrast problems. These multiscale approaches require local solutions and our proposed high-order expansion can be used to approximate these local solutions inexpensively. In the case of a large-number of inclusions, the proposed analysis can help to design localization techniques for computing the terms in the expansion. In the paper, we present a rigorous analysis of the proposed high-order expansion and estimate the remainder of it. We consider both high and low conductivity inclusions.
Energy Resources Use Metrics

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Energy resources use has been considered as a key component of sustainable development. Data related to global, regional, state, sector, industry and process demonstrate that a significant reduction of energy resources for a given production rate in manufacturing processes requires an introduction of transformational technologies at the process level, propagating the impact to higher scales, leading not just to a gradual improvement of traditional technologies but to more sustainable development.  The study offers two approaches to the formulation of the limits of energy use in the context of sustainable development. The first is to construct a map of key selected sustainable development metrics that would include energy use, economic and social aspects of the individual economy. The second view offers a close-up insight into an energy use at a process level, at the technical domain where actual energy transformations take place. Case study for a Controlled atmosphere brazing process is provided to investigate the gap between the theoretical minimum and actual energy used for the process. It has been demonstrated that the energy use, associated with a manufactured product is number of orders of magnitude smaller than the actual energy resources use for the actual process under consideration.

The search is performed using 1.34 fb^-1 of sqrt(s)=7 TeV proton-proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector during 2011. Data-driven techniques are used to determine the backgrounds in kinematic regions that require at least six, seven or eight jets, well beyond the multiplicities required in previous analyses. No evidence is found for physics beyond the Standard Model. The results are interpreted in the context of a supersymmetry model (MSUGRA/CMSSM) where they extend previous constraints.

The Equivalence Postulate of Quantum Mechanics, Dark Energy and The Intrinsic Curvature of Elementary Particles

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The equivalence postulate of quantum mechanics offers an axiomatic approach to quantum field theories and quantum gravity. The equivalence hypothesis can be viewed as adaptation of the classical Hamilton-Jacobi formalism to quantum mechanics. The construction reveals two key identities that underly the formalism in Euclidean or Minkowski spaces. The first is a cocycle condition, which is invariant under $D$--dimensional Mobius transformations with Euclidean or Minkowski metrics. The second is a quadratic identity which is a representation of the D-dimensional quantum Hamilton--Jacobi equation. In this approach, the solutions of the associated Schrodinger equation are used to solve the nonlinear quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation. A basic property of the construction is that the two solutions of the corresponding Schrodinger equation must be retained. The quantum potential, which arises in the formalism, can be interpreted as a curvature term. I propose that the quantum potential, which is always non-trivial and is an intrinsic energy term characterising a particle, can be interpreted as dark energy. Numerical estimates of its magnitude show that it is extremely suppressed. In the multi--particle case the quantum potential, as well as the mass, are cumulative.

description: The study of numu->nutau oscillation and the explicit observation of the nutau through the identification of the final-state tau lepton ("direct appearance search") represent the most straightforward test of the oscillation phenomenon. It is, nonetheless, the most challenging from the experimental point of view. In this paper we discuss the current empirical evidence for direct appearance of tau neutrinos at the atmospheric scale and the perspectives for the next few years, up to the completion of the CNGS physics programme. We investigate the relevance of this specific oscillation channel to gain insight into neutrino physics within the standard three-family framework. Finally, we discuss the opportunities offered by precision studies of numu->nutau transitions in the occurrence of more exotic scenarios emerging from additional sterile neutrinos or non-standard interactions.

description: Klassische Märchen sind die ersten literarischen Werke, mit denen Kinder in Berührung kommen. Sie setzen einen wichtigen Grundstein des Erzählens und haben eine stark prägende Wirkung auf das Sozialverhalten der Gender und die Moralvorstellungen von „Gut“ und „Böse“. Kinder und Jugendliche lernen durch Literatur sich in andere Menschen hineinzuversetzen und so ihre Empathie sowie ihr Bewusstsein für ihre Mitwelt zu stärken. Die Kinder- und Jugendliteratur (KJL) wird allerdings bedeutend durch die binäre Geschlechterrollenverteilung von Mann und Frau und die damit verbundene Lebens- und Familienplanung geprägt. Entsprechend dem Narrativ: „Sie bekamen viele Kinder und lebten glücklich bis zum Ende ihrer Tage“ wird ein heteronormatives, zweigeschlechtliches und patriarchales Konstrukt weitergegeben, das mit aktuellen Lebensrealitäten unserer Gesellschaft so nicht mehr übereinstimmt und welches sogar den Fortschritt der Gleichberechtigung aller Gender beeinträchtigt. Das liegt auch an Teilen der Gesellschaft, die ihre traditionellen oder religiösen Werte durch eine zunehmende Individualisierung bedroht sehen. In ihrer Gender-cis Sichtweise stehen sie für ein binäres Rollensystem ein, welches der Fortpflanzung dient und eine traditionelle gegengeschlechtliche Kernfamilie vorsieht. Das führt dazu, das queere Menschen in bestimmten Ländern auch heute noch verfolgt und unterdrückt werden.

We discuss in detail procedures to generate quadrupole traps, self-sufficient traps and ring traps based on superconducting disks and rings. The ease of creating these traps and the low current noise in supercurrent carrying structures makes our approach attractive for designing atom chip interferometers and probes.

description: Some critical error sources in static GPS surveying and methods to reduce these errors on baseline determinations are investigated. Ambiguity search strategies in rapid static surveying are discussed and some modifications are explored. Based on the assumption that the impact of the periodic multipath error on code and carrier phase measurements can be minimized by averaging the observations, an attempt is made to estimate the site occupation time in order to correctly resolve the integer ambiguities using spectral analysis in postprocessing mode. The relationship between code and carrier phase multipath is investigated. For single frequency users, an ionospheric model is developed by using code and carrier phase measurements.

description: We present the discovery of a 0.2" companion to the young M dwarf GJ 3629 as part of our high contrast adaptive optics imaging search for giant planets around low-mass stars with the Keck-II and Subaru telescopes. Two epochs of imaging confirm the pair is co-moving and reveal signs of orbital motion. The primary exhibits saturated X-ray emission, which together with its UV photometry from GALEX point to an age younger than ~300 Myr. At these ages the companion lies below the hydrogen burning limit with a model-dependent mass of 46 +/- 16 Mjup based on the system's photometric distance of 22 +/- 3 pc. Resolved YJHK photometry of the pair indicates a spectral type of M7 +/- 2 for GJ 3629 B. With a projected separation of 4.4 +/- 0.6 AU and an estimated orbital period of 21 +/- 5 yr, GJ 3629 AB is likely to yield a dynamical mass in the next several years, making it one of only a handful of brown dwarfs to have a measured mass and an age constrained from the stellar primary.

description: Unplanned migration (especially by sea) has dominated the history of Italian migration policy over the last 30 years. Although subsequent waves of arrivals have differed in terms of causes, scale and landing points, forced migration flows have constantly played a key role in both public debate and policy responses. The way in which migration has been addressed in public discourses is characterised by certain recurring features, such as the idea of migration as a security threat to be dealt with security-driven measures, the metaphor of arrivals as a 'siege'; or the emphasis on human suffering and deaths at sea that influenced the development of a humanitarian narrative. 
Following the conceptual and methodological framework developed by the BRIDGES Work Package 7 concept note (Boswell and Smellie 2023), the aim of this working paper is to analyse how recurrent elements of certain narratives circulate in the communicative (media and political arenas) and in the coordinative spheres (the one of policy making) at different levels in the Italian political system. The study focuses on three specific events occurred in 2015 (the adoption of the EU relocation scheme), 2017 (the initial stage of a process of 'criminalisation' of NGOs) and in 2022 (the Ukrainian crisis) and addresses the question of how event-related narratives resonate with the master narratives on migration that emerged in the 2012–2022-time frame.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: To understand the role of isospin effects on fragmentation due to the collisions of charge asymmetric nuclei, we have performed a complete systematical study using isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. Here simulations have been carried out for $^{124}X_{n}+ ^{124}X_{n}$, where n varies from 47 to 59 and for $^{40}Y_{m}+ ^{40}Y_{m}$, where m varies from 14 to 23. Our study shows that isospin dependent cross-section shows its influence on fragmentation in the collision of neutron rich nuclei.

description: Der gegenwärtige Trend der Körpermodellierung hat in den letzten Jahren ebenso stetig Veränderungen erfahren wie das kommerzielle Fitnessstudio als ein anerkannter Ort der Artikulation moderner Körper- lichkeit. Dies zeigt sich insbesondere an den gestiegenen Ansprüchen hinsichtlich gesellschaftlich akzep- tierter Körperideale. Dabei bedingt das Sporttreiben im Fitnessstudio positive wie auch negative Erfah- rungen, die an das Aussehen und die sportliche Leistung gebunden sind. Hiervon ausgehend nimmt die vorliegende Studie an der Schnittstelle von Sportwissenschaften und Geschlechterforschung die Frage in den Blick, welche Bedeutung diverse Körper(-formen) für die Anerkennung junger Männer innerhalb der Fitnessszene haben. Hierbei werden zum einen positive Anerkennungserfahrungen basierend auf der richtigen Selbstinszenierung sowie der sportlichen Leistung deutlich. Zum anderen werden Abhän- gigkeiten zwischen Hierarchien unter Männern, körperbezogenen Diskriminierungstendenzen und der selbstbestimmten Teilnahme am körpermodellierenden Sport sichtbar. The current trend in body shaping has undergone continuous changes in recent years just as the com- mercial gym has as a recognized place for the articulation of modern corporality. This especially be- comes apparent in the increased standards regarding socially accepted body ideals. Engaging in sport activities at the gym thus induces positive as well as negative experiences which are tied to appearance and athletic performance. From here, the study at hand considers the question – at the point of inter- section of sport science and gender studies – which meaning diverse body forms have for the recogni- tion of young men in the context of fitness. In this process, positive experiences of recognition based on appropriate self-fashioning as well as athletic performance become evident, on the one hand. On the other hand, dependencies between body-related tendencies of discrimination, body dissatisfaction and self-determined participation in body-modulating sport become apparent.

Spin-filtered edge states in graphene

description: Spin orbit coupling changes graphene, in principle, into a two-dimensional topological insulator, also known as quantum spin Hall insulator. One of the expected consequences is the existence of spin-filtered edge states that carry dissipationless spin currents and undergo no back-scattering in the presence of non-magnetic disorder, leading to quantization of conductance. Whereas, due to the small size of spin orbit coupling in graphene, the experimental observation of these remarkable predictions is unlikely, the theoretical understanding of these spin-filtered states is shedding light on the electronic properties of edge states in other two-dimensional quantum spin Hall insulators. Here we review the effect of a variety of perturbations, like curvature, disorder, edge reconstruction, edge crystallographic orientation, and Coulomb interactions on the electronic properties of these spin filtered states.

National Association of Women Artists 58th Annual Exhibition, May 31st - June 22, 1950
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1950

description: The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) was established in 1889 and is the oldest professional women's fine arts organization in the United States. NAWA's mission is to promote awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. As part of this effort NAWA holds an annual exhibition of works by members of the association and publishes an exhibition catalog to accompany or commemorate the annual exhibitions. These catalogs not only function as an exhibition catalog, but also as a document that summarizes the structure, membership, and activities of the association.Information that can be found in these catalogs includes lists of officers, members of the executive board and committees, prize winners, lists of exhibitor and members, and images of some of the artwork exhibited. Catalogs from the 2000s also include information on NAWA events and activities beyond the annual exhibition.Please note that the numbering of the annual catalogs was adjusted in 1960 and again in 1971. For example, NAWA designated the annual exhibition in 1960 as the 70th Anniversary Exhibition after 1959 was the 67th Annual Exhibition. These adjustments appear to have been made to reflect the date of the founding of the association, so that, by 1989, the annual exhibition commemorated the 100-year anniversary of the founding of NAWA in 1889.
