MS-157: Donald Brett Collection of Eisenhower Memorabilia

The collection consists of items relevant to all aspects of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s life and career. Most prevalent are Ike’s years as president with numerous artifacts from his 1952 and 1956 presidential campaigns as well as commemorative pieces. These artifacts include a significant collection of campaign buttons, jewelry, and postcards along with other miscellaneous campaign artifacts. There is also a series of photographs mostly relating to his Army career in World War II with others from his two terms as president. Of particular interest are the 1915 and 1945 Howitzers, the United States Military Academy at West Point’s yearbook and the tropical worsted wool summer uniform coat of Brigadier General Robert Ludwig Schulz, Eisenhower’s military aide who continued to work with the retired general and president until Ike’s death in 1969. Also included is a small box of Donald Brett’s personal papers that reflect his own research interests.

Imperial Systems of Power, Colonial Forces, and the Making of Modern Southeast Asia

Why do colonial subjects choose to enlist and to court death under the command of officers who come from thousands of miles away? Under what conditions do they stay loyal? When, why and with what results do they revolt? Questions such as these can be answered only with the greatest diffculuty. In part this is because comparative work on colonial forces is rare, restricted to a few short introductions to edited volumes, whose collections of articles at first seem to invite contrast, rather than comparison. This is compounded by a second problem: the careless use of concepts. the terms colonial armies, colonialism and imperialism have been employed so loosely as to spread confusion. For this reason, we must begin by examining the terminology surrounding "colonial armies" and what we call "imperial systems of power"

Symmetry-guided nonrigid registration: the case for distortion correction in multidimensional photoemission spectroscopy

Image symmetrization is an effective strategy to correct symmetry distortion in experimental data for which symmetry is essential in the subsequent analysis. In the process, a coordinate transform, the symmetrization transform, is required to undo the distortion. The transform may be determined by image registration (i.e. alignment) with symmetry constraints imposed in the registration target and in the iterative parameter tuning, which we call symmetry-guided registration. An example use case of image symmetrization is found in electronic band structure mapping by multidimensional photoemission spectroscopy, which employs a 3D time-of-flight detector to measure electrons sorted into the momentum ($k_x$, $k_y$) and energy ($E$) coordinates. In reality, imperfect instrument design, sample geometry and experimental settings cause distortion of the photoelectron trajectories and, therefore, the symmetry in the measured band structure, which hinders the full understanding and use of the volumetric datasets. We demonstrate that symmetry-guided registration can correct the symmetry distortion in the momentum-resolved photoemission patterns. Using proposed symmetry metrics, we show quantitatively that the iterative approach to symmetrization outperforms its non-iterative counterpart in the restored symmetry of the outcome while preserving the average shape of the photoemission pattern. Our approach is generalizable to distortion corrections in different types of symmetries and should also find applications in other experimental methods that produce images with similar features

SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING OF TEACHERS IN K-12 CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS

This non-experimental, quantitative study aimed to examine the factors that influence the self-perceived well-being of teachers in K-12 Christian schools. The sample for this study was convenient, non-probable, and purposive and comprised of 81 teachers from one Christian school system in Florida. The measurement tool used in this study is based on Seligman’s (2011) work on well-being. The Workplace PERMAH Profiler is a valid and reliable (α = .94) instrument that measures flourishing in terms of six domains: positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment, and health. The internal reliability of study participant responses to survey items associated with the construct of well-being was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha (α). The internal reliability levels achieved in the study across all 23 survey items associated with the study’s construct of well-being was very good at α = .87. A one-sample t-test was conducted to assess the statistical significance of study participant response to survey items associated with the six dimensions of the study’s overarching construct of well-being. The response effects for all six dimensions of the construct of well-being were statistically significant. In five of the six dimensions of the construct of well-being, the response effects were considered huge (d ≥ 2.0). The response effect for the dimension of health was considered medium (d = .47). The single greatest response effect within the six dimensions of the construct of well-being was reflected in the dimension of meaning (d = 3.94), closely followed by the dimension of accomplishment (d = 3.44)

DYSGRAPHIA

Introduction: Every teacher has probably experienced having a good student whose only problem seems to be that they take too long on writing assignments. When the student finally does turn in their work, it is sloppy, incomplete, and has several spelling errors
