Tammy Garcia, Form Without Boundaries, is a collection of images portraying Tammy’s extraordinary talent. She is regarded as the foremost Native American potter in the world today and in this magnificent coffeetable book provides glimpses of her sculpture and jewelry. Today, collectors buy her work by lottery as her pieces have become so sought after and her production for the public market is limited. The book tells of her heritage as a fourth generation Santa Clara pueblo potter and what inspires this beautiful, young, soft-spoken artisan. The narrative also introduces the layperson to pottery and the Native American culture. It is written by acknowledged experts in the field of Native American culture, art and collections. The book is a spectacular result of collaboration between an artist and those who are committed to preserving a culture through museums, collections and writing. This is the most dramatic, most beautiful,coffeetable book that will be available for the fall in 2003.

In one of the most eloquent and sustained depictions of psychological trauma ever committed to poetry in the English language, The Road of Glass chronicles one year in the life of Benjamin Rose from Yom Kippur 2020 to December 2021. Written at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic through the last days of the Trump Administration and the collapse of the American mission in Afghanistan, The Road Of Glass is Rose''s attempt to find peace within himself after a lifetime of mental illness in a world gone mad. From the fiery antifascism of "Elegy Of The Mayfire" and "Sons Of The Axe" to the epic romance of "Royal Blue" and "Kabul", the poem is a stark and unsanitized depiction of how man driven to a state of utmost desperation may find within himself the strength to reject hatred and despair. At once epic and observational, personal and political, The Road Of Glass is a testament to the transformative power of poetry to name and alleviate human suffering.

A novel trajectory and attitude control and navigation analysis tool for powered ascent is developed. The tool is capable of rapid trade-space analysis and is designed to ultimately reduce turnaround time for launch vehicle design, mission planning, and redesign work. It is streamlined to quickly determine trajectory and attitude control dispersions, propellant dispersions, orbit insertion dispersions, and navigation errors and their sensitivities to sensor errors, actuator execution uncertainties, and random disturbances. The tool is developed by applying both Monte Carlo and linear covariance analysis techniques to a closed-loop, launch vehicle guidance, navigation, and control (GN & C) system. The nonlinear dynamics and flight GN & C software models of a closed-loop, six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF), Monte Carlo simulation are formulated and developed. The nominal reference trajectory (NRT) for the proposed lunar ascent trajectory is defined and generated. The Monte Carlo truth models and GN & C algorithms are linearized about the NRT, the linear covariance equations are formulated, and the linear covariance simulation is developed. The performance of the launch vehicle GN & C system is evaluated using both Monte Carlo and linear covariance techniques and their trajectory and attitude control dispersion, propellant dispersion, orbit insertion dispersion, and navigation error results are validated and compared. Statistical results from linear covariance analysis are generally within 10% of Monte Carlo results, and in most cases the differences are less than 5%. This is an excellent result given the many complex nonlinearities that are embedded in the ascent GN & C problem. Moreover, the real value iv of this tool lies in its speed, where the linear covariance simulation is 1036.62 times faster than the Monte Carlo simulation. Although the application and results presented are for a lunar, single-stage- to-orbit (SSTO), ascent vehicle, the tools, techniques, and mathematical formulations that are discussed are applicable to ascent on Earth or other planets as well as other rocket-powered systems such as sounding rockets and ballistic missiles.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a chronic rheumatic disease affecting between 1 and 4 out of 1000 children in Canada, with outcomes including pain, prolonged dependence on medications, and disability. To allow families to effectively self-manage chronic conditions, such as JIA, patient education is necessary. Families of children with JIA need access to the Patient Education Materials (PEM) provided by their Rheumatology clinic outside of clinic visits in a way that allows them control over what content they receive and when they receive it. This work aims to address this educational gap by using a knowledge management approach to explore how an artificial intelligence method based on the Toulmin model of argument could be used to construct an interactive dialogue that allows users to engage with PEM. Content from the PEM was computerized using a knowledge model based on the Toulmin model of argument which was also leveraged to manage the structure of the dialogue. We have evaluated the dialogue of the resulting system through cognitive walkthroughs and semi-structured interviews with JIA domain experts. The results of this study show that these methods show great promise for providing quality information to families of children with JIA when they need it.

The detection of variable stars in open clusters is an essential component of testing stellar structure and evolution theories. The ability to detect low-amplitude variability among cluster members is directly related to the quality of the photometric results. Point Spread Function (PSF) fitting is the best method available for measuring accurate magnitudes within crowded fields of stars, while high-precision differential photometry is the preferred technique for removing the effects of atmospheric extinction and variable seeing. In the search for new variable stars among hundreds or thousands of stars, the Robust Median Statistic (RoMS) is proven more effective for finding low-amplitude variables than the traditional error curve approach. A reputable computer program called DAOPHOT was used to perform PSF fitting, whereas programs, CLUSTER and RoMS, were created to carry out high-precision differential photometry and calculate the RoMS, respectively, on the open clusters NGC 225, NGC 559, NGC 6811, NGC 6940, NGC 7142, and NGC 7160. Twenty-two new variables and eighty-seven suspected variable stars were discovered, and time-series data of the new variables are presented.
