Quantum Liouville Theory from a Diffeomorphism Chern-Simons Action
A Chern-Simons action written with Christoffel Symbols has a natural gauge
symmetry of diffeomorphisms. This Chern-Simons action will induce a
Wess-Zumio-Witten model on the boundary of the manifold. If we restrict the
diffeomorphisms to chiral diffeomorphism, the Wess-Zumio-Witten model is
equivalent to a quantum Liouville action.Comment: Minor typo correcte

Description and performance of the Langley differential maneuvering simulator
The differential maneuvering simulator for simulating two aircraft or spacecraft operating in a differential mode is described. Tests made to verify that the system could provide the required simulated aircraft motions are given. The mathematical model which converts computed aircraft motions into the required motions of the various projector gimbals is described
A Nested-Case Study Investigating Distributed Leadership at the Middle School Level
The purpose of this nested-case study was to discover the perceptions of middle school teachers regarding the influence of distributed leadership on the subject matter they teach in McCullough County, Tennessee. The central research question for the study was as follows: How do middle school teachers describe the aspects of distributed leadership they encounter? The theoretical framework for this study was distributed leadership theory. I conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 middle school teachers from five middle schools in McCullough County, Tennessee : 5 English teachers (ELA), 1 math teacher, 4 social studies teachers, and 4 science teachers. Additional data were collected from the observation of a faculty meeting, analysis of distributed leadership documentation that was generated by the state department of education, and entries in my journal. I transcribed and analyzed interview data thoroughly. An analysis of research journal records was performed to reveal common themes that emerged from the data. These themes, codes within those themes, and one outlier within the data are presented. Pseudonyms were assigned for each participant, each principal, each school, and for the county itself

David Mitrany and South-East Europe: The Balkan Key to World Peace
Today David Mitrany is best known for his work on international functionalism, which influenced the development of European integration and the organisation of United Nations specialised agencies. What is often ignored in the West is his work on South-East Europe. During the inter-war period Mitrany studied both the operation of war government and the subsequent peasant revolution in the Balkans. War government demonstrated that political organisation could bridge the gap between social action and private property, while the peasant social revolution showed that the abstract economics associated with both capitalist and Marxist economics was not applicable outside of urban industrial production. It was through his studies of South-East Europe that Mitrany drew many of the lessons and concepts that were to form the foundations of his international theory
