New Releases by Benjamin Rose

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.

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.

A new tool for launch vehicle design and analysis is developed. The tool is capable of rapid analysis of requirements tradeoffs affecting system design and developed to reduce turnaround time for launch vehicle design and mission planning. It is streamlined to quickly determine trajectory and attitude control dispersions which represent how far the actual trajectory is expected to deviate from the nominal flight path, propellant dispersions which represent how much propellant is required to meet mission requirements, and navigation errors which represent how far the navigation filter''s estimate of the actual trajectory is expected to deviate from the actual trajectory. Moreover, the tool is able to measure sensitivities to instrument errors, engine performance 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 equations, algorithms, and models for a Monte Carlo simulation are formulated and developed. The nominal reference trajectory (NRT) for the proposed lunar ascent trajectory is defined and generated. The nonlinear equations, algorithms, and models associated with the Monte Carlo simulation 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 simulations and their 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 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 lunar ascent, the tools, techniques, and mathematical formulations that are discussed are applicable to launch vehicles on Earth or other planets as well as other rocket-powered systems such as sounding rockets and ballistic missiles.
