This is built by the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) with the assistance of Belgian. The telescope has been located at a height of 2,500 metres at Devasthal in Nainital district. The site was chosen for getting a clear view of the sky. The telescope has mirror of 3.6 m diameter. The telescope facility has been incorporated with high end technology which enables it to be operated with the help of remote control from anywhere in the world. ARIES, the largest optical telescope of its kind in Asia. It will be used to study star structures and magnetic field structures of stars and astronomical debris. Raisina Dialogue 2016 kicks off at New Delhi The first Raisina-Dialogue 2016, a flagship conference on Geopolitics and Geo-economics began in New Delhi. The three day conference is joint initiative of Union Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and Observer Research Foundation (ORF), an independent think tank based in India. Key Facts The theme of Raisina-Dialogue 2016 is “Asia: Regional and Global Connectivity”. It will enable the MEA to reach out to a wider international multi-disciplinary audience. It will focus on Asia’s economic, physical, human and digital connectivity and shall attempt to discover challenges and opportunities for the region to manage its common spaces.

    Hardness of Approximation Between P and NP by Aviad Rubinstein A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Christos Papadimitriou, Chair Professor Ilan Adler Associate Professor Prasad Raghavendra Professor Satish Rao Summer 2017 Hardness of Approximation Between P and NP Copyright 2017 by Aviad Rubinstein 1 Abstract Hardness of Approximation Between P and NP by Aviad Rubinstein Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Christos Papadimitriou, Chair Nash equilibrium is the central solution concept in Game Theory. Since Nash’s orig- inal paper in 1951, it has found countless applications in modeling strategic behavior of traders in markets, (human) drivers and (electronic) routers in congested networks, nations in nuclear disarmament negotiations, and more. A decade ago, the relevance of this solution concept was called into question by computer scientists [DGP09; CDT09], who proved (under appropriate complexity assumptions) that computing a Nash equilibrium is an intractable problem. And if centralized, specially designed algorithms cannot find Nash equilibria, why should we expect distributed, selfish agents to converge to one? The remaining hope was that at least approximate Nash equilibria can be efficiently computed. Understanding whether there is an efficient algorithm for approximate Nash equi- librium has been the central open problem in this field for the past decade. In this thesis, we provide strong evidence that even finding an approximate Nash equilibrium is intractable. We prove several intractability theorems for different settings (two- player games and many-player games) and models (computational complexity, query complexity, and communication complexity).

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES H ARLO W S HAPLEY 1885—1972 A Biographical Memoir by BART J. BOK Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1978 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. HARLOW SHAPLEY November 2,1885-October 20,1972 BY BART J. BOK ARLOW SHAPLEY was born November 2, 1885, on a farm H five miles from Nashville, Missouri. He was one of fra- ternal twins. Besides his twin, Horace, he had one older sister, Lillian, and a younger brother, John. He went to school in Jasper, Missouri, but he did not go at first beyond elementary school; he and his brother John had a brief period in a normal school, where they were only permitted to take a business course. At the time when most boys would go to high school, Harlow studied by himself at home. He had one year of early schooling in Hampton, New York, where he went on a family visit. At the age of fifteen he became a crime reporter for the Daily Sun in Chanute, Kansas, and he also worked off and on as a police reporter for the Joplin (Missouri) Times. He learned to take notes in shorthand, which, in later life, became a -medium of communication between him and his wife. In Chanute he found a Carnegie library, and there he really started reading and studying on his own. When funds became available, he and his younger brother, John, decided to go to Carthage High School, a prestigious school located in the nearest city to Nash- ville, Missouri.
