Fest, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 This dissertation looks at global nuclear war as a trope that can be traced throughout twentieth century American literature. I argue that despite the non-event of nuclear exchange during the Cold War, the nuclear referent continues to shape American literary expression. Since the early 1990s the nuclear referent has dispersed into a multiplicity of disaster scenarios, producing a “second nuclear age.” If the atomic bomb once introduced the hypothesis “of a total and remainderless destruction of the archive,” today literature’s staged anticipation of catastrophe has become inseparable from the realities of global risk.

For those of you who have been in the financial aid profession for a few years, I think you’ll agree that 2007 was one of the Tracey Lehman more memorable ones. We’ve seen more scrutiny, more regulations, and Past-President more challenges, but we’ve also seen more grant money for students and that, for me, is the highlight of 2007. New federal programs (such as the Melinda Dunnick TEACH grant) and changing eligibility criteria (such as the Shared Vice President Responsibility Model for the Oregon Opportunity Grant) will mean more money for our Community Colleges students in 2008, but will also mean more challenges for our offices as we implement these programs. Terri Crawford Vice President As you encounter these challenges in 2008, I encourage you to use OASFAA as a resource. Independent Institutions OASFAA exists to provide you and your office with training and support, as well as opportunities to ask questions, find answers, and explore options. The OASFAA Executive Anny Hawkins Council will work throughout 2008 to enhance existing training opportunities and provide Vice President support for all of Oregon’s financial aid community.

As digital technologies are expanding the power and reach of research, they are also raising complex issues. These include complications in ensuring the validity of research data; standards that do not keep pace with the high rate of innovation; restrictions on data sharing that reduce the ability of researchers to verify results and build on previous research; and huge increases in the amount of data being generated, creating severe challenges in preserving that data for long-term use. Ensuring the Integrity, Accessibility, and Stewardship of Research Data in the Digital Age examines the consequences of the changes affecting research data with respect to three issues - integrity, accessibility, and stewardship-and finds a need for a new approach to the design and the management of research projects.

    October 28, 2009 13:56 WSPC - Proceedings Trim Size: 9in x 6in chapter˙r3 3 THE TRANSITION FROM MATHEMATICIAN TO ASTROPHYSICIST M. R. FLANNERY School of Physics, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332-0430, USA E-mail: r.fl[email protected] www.physics.gatech.edu/people/faculty/rflannery.html Various landmarks in the evolution of Alexander Dalgarno from a gifted math- ematician to becoming the acknowledged Father of Molecular Astrophysics are noted. His researches in basic atomic and molecular physics, aeronomy (the study of the upper atmosphere) and astrophysics are highlighted. Keywords: atomic and molecular physics, aeronomy, astrophysics, Dalgarno- Lewis method, associative detachment, rotational excitation. 1. Some Distinct Landmarks As this “Dalgarno Celebratory Symposium” in honor of Alex Dalgarno’s 80th birthday continues, I would like to welcome you all to this morning’s session “Calculation of Atomic and Molecular Properties ”. This title is par- ticularly well suited to Alex’s philosophy because, in a recent reminiscence1 of his career, he mentions that, “ ... It is often said, by theorists, that physics is embodied in its equations, but I think it is to be found in the solutions to the equations”. And so, emboldened/accelerated by this realization, Alex embarked on making landmark advances in all of the following subjects: (1) Atomic and Molecular Structure (perturbation variational and expan- sion methods) (2) Interactions (polarization, dispersion, model, pseudo and long-range potentials) and (3) Collisions (near-resonant electronic transfer, excitation and charge transfer radiative transitions, rotational and vibrational excitation in molecules, spin-exchange).
