Duke University 2011-2012 the Graduate School University’S Mission Statement James B bulletin of Duke University 2011-2012 The Graduate School University’s Mission Statement James B. Duke’s founding Indenture of Duke University directed the members of the University to “provide real leadership in the educational world” by choosing individuals of “outstanding character, ability and vision” to serve as its officers, trustees and faculty; by carefully selecting students of “character, determination and application;” and by pursuing those areas of teaching and scholarship that would “most help to develop our resources, increase our wisdom and promote human happiness.” To these ends, the mission of Duke University is to provide a superior liberal education to undergraduate students, attending not only to their intellectual growth but also to their development as adults committed to high ethical standards and full participation as leaders in their communities; to prepare future members of the learned professions for lives of skilled and ethical service by providing excellent graduate and professional education; to advance the frontiers of knowledge and contribute boldly to the international community of scholarship; to promote an intellectual environment built on a commitment to free and open inquiry; to help those who suffer, cure disease and promote health, through sophisticated medical research and thoughtful patient care; to provide wide ranging educational opportunities, on and beyond our campuses, for traditional students, active professionals and life-long learners using the power of information technologies; and to promote a deep appreciation for the range of human difference and potential, a sense of the obligations and rewards of citizenship, and a commitment to learning, freedom and truth. By pursuing these objectives with vision and integrity, Duke University seeks to engage the mind, elevate the spirit, and stimulate the best effort of all who are associated with the University; to contribute in diverse ways to the local community, the state, the nation and the world; and to attain and maintain a place of real leadership in all that we do. —Adopted by the Board of Trustees on February 23, 2001 ACADEMIC LIAISON David Bell Associate Dean BULLETIN COORDINATOR, GRADUATE SCHOOL Judith Wittenberg PUBLICATIONS COORDINATOR Sarah Kibler COORDINATING EDITOR Rob Hirtz PHOTOGRAPHS Duke University Photography The information in this bulletin applies to the academic year 2011-12 and is accurate and current, to the extent possible, as of July, 2011.

Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods.

  • Probabilistic Models on Fibre Bundles by Shan Shan
    Probabilistic Models on Fibre Bundles by Shan Shan Department of Mathematics Duke University Date: Approved: Ingrid Daubechies, Supervisor Sayan Mukherjee, Chair Doug Boyer Colleen Robles Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Mathematics in the Graduate School of Duke University 2019 ABSTRACT Probabilistic Models on Fibre Bundles by Shan Shan Department of Mathematics Duke University Date: Approved: Ingrid Daubechies, Supervisor Sayan Mukherjee, Chair Doug Boyer Colleen Robles An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Mathematics in the Graduate School of Duke University 2019 Copyright c 2019 by Shan Shan All rights reserved Abstract In this thesis, we propose probabilistic models on fibre bundles for learning the gen- erative process of data. The main tool we use is the diffusion kernel and we use it in two ways. First, we build from the diffusion kernel on a fibre bundle a projected kernel that generates robust representations of the data, and we test that it outperforms regular diffusion maps under noise. Second, this diffusion kernel gives rise to a nat- ural covariance function when defining Gaussian processes (GP) on the fibre bundle. To demonstrate the uses of GP on a fibre bundle, we apply it to simulated data on a M¨obiusstrip for the problem of prediction and regression. Parameter tuning can also be guided by a novel semi-group test arising from the geometric properties of dif- fusion kernel. For an example of real-world application, we use probabilistic models on fibre bundles to study evolutionary process on anatomical surfaces.

  • 2. Superoscillations.Pdf
    When the Whole Vibrates Faster than Any of its Parts Computational Superoscillation Theory Nicholas Wheeler December 2017 Introduction. The phenomenon/theory of “superoscillations”—brought to my attention by my friend Ahmed Sebbar1—originated in the time-symmetric formulation of quantum mechanics2 that gave rise to the theory of “weak measurements.” Recognition of the role that superoscillations play in that work was brought into explicit focus by Aharonov et al in 1990, and since that date the concept has found application to a remarkable variety of physical subject areas. Yakir Aharonov took his PhD in 1960 from the University of Bristol, where he worked with David Bohm.3 In 1992 a conference was convened at Bristol to celebrate Aharonov’s 60th birthday. It was on that occasion that the superoscillation phenomenon came first to the attention of Michael Berry (of the Bristol faculty), who in an essay “Faster than Fourier” contributed to the proceedings of that conference4 wrote that “He [Aharonov] told me that it is possible for functions to oscillate faster than any of their Fourier components. This seemed unbelievable, even paradoxical; I had heard nothing like it before. ” Berry was inspired to write a series of papers relating to the theory of superoscillation and its potential applications, as also by now have a great many other authors. 1 Private communication, 17 November 2017. 2 Y. Aharonov, P. G. Bergmann & J. L. Libowitz, “Time symmetry in the quantum meassurement process,” Phys. Rev. B 134, 1410–1416 (1964). 3 It was, I suspect, at the invitation of E. P Gross—who had collaborated with Bohm when both were at Princeton—that Aharonov spent 1960–1961 at Brandeis University, from which I had taken the first PhD and departed to Utrecht/CERN in February of 1960, so we never met.

  • Jewish Nobel Prize Laureates
    Jewish Nobel Prize Laureates In December 1902, the first Nobel Prize was awarded in Stockholm to Wilhelm Roentgen, the discoverer of X-rays. Alfred Nobel (1833-96), a Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite, had bequeathed a $9 million endowment to fund significant cash prizes ($40,000 in 1901, about $1 million today) to those individuals who had made the most important contributions in five domains (Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Peace); the sixth, in "Economic Sciences," was added in 1969. Nobel could hardly have imagined the almost mythic status that would accrue to the laureates. From the start "The Prize" became one of the most sought-after awards in the world, and eventually the yardstick against which other prizes and recognition were to be measured. Certainly the roster of Nobel laureates includes many of the most famous names of the 20th century: Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Mother Teresa, Winston Churchill, Albert Camus, Boris Pasternak, Albert Schweitzer, the Dalai Lama and many others. Nobel Prizes have been awarded to approximately 850 laureates of whom at least 177 of them are/were Jewish although Jews comprise less than 0.2% of the world's population. In the 20th century, Jews, more than any other minority, ethnic or cultural, have been recipients of the Nobel Prize. How to account for Jewish proficiency at winning Nobel’s? It's certainly not because Jews do the judging. All but one of the Nobel’s are awarded by Swedish institutions (the Peace Prize by Norway). The standard answer is that the premium placed on study and scholarship in Jewish culture inclines Jews toward more education, which in turn makes a higher proportion of them "Nobel-eligible" than in the larger population.

  • Chemistry Department Have Floated Their Departmental Magazine
    Message from Director Prof. Sunil Kr Sarangi, FNAE Director Scholarship thrives for communication; Institutes of higher learning prosper when faculty and students share their thoughts with each other. While conversation among faculty and students continue to be scientifically productive, more formal communication channels benefit everyone in the community. These formal channels include conferences, symposia, institute and departmental seminars, journals and magazines. Those are the category of communication media that give more effective sharing of thoughts among scientists around the globe. Departmental magazines in particular are good compromise between informal communication among closely related colleagues, and formal communication between professional peers over wider areas. Departmental magazines may be in print, in electronic media or even be pasted on the wall. They substantially enrich the scientific and cultural life of a department. These magazines give opportunity to everyone in the department, from senior-most professor to the youngest student to express his or her creative thoughts. I am indeed happy to learn that the faculty and students of our Chemistry Department have floated their departmental magazine. I am confident that with the support and cooperation of all faculty and students in the department, this magazine will grow from strength to strength with time. I congratulate the Head of the Department Professor B. G. Mishra, his team of young faculty colleagues and students of the Department for taking up this venture. I wish them all success in serving the Institute community interested in various aspects of chemistry. Prof. Sunil Ku Sarangi Editorial….. Like an age old banyan tree; deep rooted in soil and numerously branched above the ground to arise as a symbol of growth and serene existence, our department of chemistry in NIT Rourkela has come across a long way since its inception in 1961 and standing taller than ever in 2012.
