    Aspects of Black Hole Physics Andreas Vigand Pedersen The Niels Bohr Institute Academic Advisor: Niels Obers e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This project examines some of the exact solutions to Einstein’s theory, the theory of linearized gravity, the Komar definition of mass and angular momentum in general relativity and some aspects of (four dimen- sional) black hole physics. The project assumes familiarity with the basics of general relativity and differential geometry, but is otherwise intended to be self contained. The project was written as a ”self-study project” under the supervision of Niels Obers in the summer of 2008.

  • Lambeth Business Intelligence
    Lambeth Business Intelligence An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science. Prepared by: James Chen Ben Sarkis ________________________ ________________________ Chris Fernández Rachel Whalen ________________________ ________________________ Submitted to: Vincent J. Manzo, WPI Humanities and Arts Department Jianyu Liang, WPI Mechanical Engineering Department Noel Hatch, London Borough of Lambeth Business Intelligence Abstract Lambeth, a central borough of London, is undergoing large population growth and a shrinking budget. This strains the Lambeth Council’s services, so they have chosen to integrate a Business Intelligence [BI] system to improve efficiency. Our project encouraged the staff who gather and use data to incorporate this BI system. After gathering information through interviews and surveys, we developed an integration plan through workshops and a poster. However, many staff members do not use the BI system due to lack of knowledge or perceived uselessness. More workshops, surveys, and interviews will aid the use of this system amongst the council. Executive Summary Business Intelligence BI is a technology-driven process for analyzing data and converting it into useful information. It has helped businesses, corporate executives, governments, councils, and the health industry among other organizations make informed decisions. Several case studies further demonstrated the usefulness of BI. A suburb in Sweden, called Jä rfä lla Kommun, implemented BI in the contact center of the municipality that improved decision making and the quality of life of its citizens. In addition, a hospital in Southern Taiwan incorporated a BI-based SQL system to streamline information and meet quality standards.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Abstract This paper provides an introduction to the approach of the Scottish psychiatrist, Thomas Ferguson Rodger (1907–78), as reconstructed from his archive. Rodger’s contribution has been largely neglected within the history of Scottish psychiatry. This paper amends this neglect through situating Rodger’s eclecticism in relation to both the biopsychosocial approach of his mentors, Adolf Meyer and David Henderson, and psychiatry’s de- institutionalization in the 1950s and 1960s. It is posited that Rodger’s eclecticism was a considered response to the pressures of this transitional phase to balance physical, psychological and social approaches, and a critical acknowledgement of the instability of contemporary psychiatric therapeutics underlying how contemporary therapies functioned. More psychodynamic than his predecessors, the importance of social relations for Rodger led him to acknowledge psychiatry’s limitations.

  • Guide to Archival Resources for Jewish Studies in Edinburgh
    HTTP://JEWISHSTUDIES.DIV.ED.AC.UK/ Guide to Archival Resources for Jewish Studies in Edinburgh Researched, compiled, edited, and annotated by Mirella Yandoli Edinburgh, May 2013. http://jewishstudies.div.ed.ac.uk/ Guide to Archival Resources 2 Introduction This guide to academic archival resources is a subject-by-subject overview of what Edinburgh may have to offer researchers in a variety of research areas. Archival resources have been selected on the basis of their connection to Jewish individuals, groups, organisations, theology et al. Many of the categories relate directly to the Jewish community in Edinburgh and Scotland and/or Jewish religion and will therefore present scope for researchers in Jewish Studies and history. Other categories and archival listings point more obliquely towards more diverse subject areas such as musical theory, political theory and literature amongst many others. Overall the guide is designed to be as broad as possible and the Jewish connection that links them all can simply function as a research channel through which a range of subjects can be approached. The subject categories are arranged alphabetically and each one is given a table with a chronologically organised list of relevant material. The different archives in Edinburgh are listed below. Along with holdings found in Edinburgh, the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, based in Glasgow, and the Scottish Catholic Archives are also listed due to the relevance of their collections. Researchers aware of more archival holdings or of items within the archival holdings listed below which have not been included, are invited to contribute their knowledge. This overview is not finite and the overall intention is that the guide serves as an initial glimpse into what Edinburgh may have to offer in terms of research and resources for research.
