The Burnside Expedition

By Ambrose E. Burnside, Late Major-General, United States Army. Personal Narratives of Events of the War of the Rebellion being papers read before the Rhode Island Soldiers and Sailors Historical Society. No.6 – Second Series. 1882. Written by Ambrose Burnside and read before the Rhode Island Soldiers and Sailors Historical Society on July 7, 1880, the author discusses his military expedition along the North Carolina Coast between February and June of 1862. The expedition was part of General Winfield Scott’s overall Anaconda Plan, which was aimed at closing the blockade-running ports inside the Outer Banks.https://digitalcommons.providence.edu/ri_history/1001/thumbnail.jp

Generalised sifting in black-box groups

We present a generalisation of the sifting procedure introduced originally by Sims for computation with finite permutation groups, and now used for many computational procedures for groups, such as membership testing and finding group orders. Our procedure is a Monte Carlo algorithm, and is presented and analysed in the context of black-box groups. It is based on a chain of subsets instead of a subgroup chain. Two general versions of the procedure are worked out in detail, and applications are given for membership tests for several of the sporadic simple groups. Our major objective was that the procedures could be proved to be Monte Carlo algorithms, and their costs computed. In addition we explicitly determined suitable subset chains for six of the sporadic groups, and we implemented the algorithms involving these chains in the {\sf GAP} computational algebra system. It turns out that sample implementations perform well in practice. The implementations will be made available publicly in the form of a {\sf GAP} package

Seapower in World Wars I and II

The concept of seapower has undergone considerable change during this century as a result of two world wars and a tremendous increase in technology. The experience obtained during these years indicates that many of the traditional concepts of seapower need to be reexamined

Applied Strategy of World War II

During the last months of World War II, several important strategic decisions were made which were of major significance not only for the remaining course of the war, but for the future. In his third article in the Naval War College Review, Professor Stephen E. Ambrose examines these decisions and their significance for the postwar world

Grand Strategy of World War II

In this second article of a three-part series, Professor Stephen E. Ambrose examines the strategic decisions made by the United States in World War II

The effect of a semester unit of study on ethical issues in nursing on a group of practising registered nurses

This study explored the effect an educational unit on ethical issues in nursing had on the ethical reasoning of practising registered nurses. The educational unit was conducted at a university school of nursing as part of a baccalaureate degree programme for already registered and practising nurses. A quasi-experimental posttest design utilising stratified random samples compared subjects from one group who had undertaken the unit (n=53) with subjects from another group who had not (n=61). Ethical reasoning was measured using Grisham\u27s Nursing Dilemma Test and a researcher designed demographic data sheet provided information on additional variables for analysis.The group which had undertaken the unit had a significantly higher principled thinking score at n=.05. There were no other significant findings for other variables. The result is discussed in relation to other research findings, various extraneous variables and theoretical and measurement issues
