Nonabelian generalization of Topological Dipole Field Theory

The Standard model of particle physics is based on nonabelian gauge theories. Since there are observed phenomena which cannot be explained with ordinary Standard model, this theory can be further generalized. This paper treats an extension of the Standard model by introducing a generalization of nonabelian gauge theories

Foundations of E-Theory

Differential geometry is a powerful tool in various branches of science, especially in theoretical physics. Ordinary differential geometry requires differentiable manifolds. This research paper shows how concepts of differential geometry can also be applied to pure topological spaces. Such a theory is based on concepts like cohomology theory. It allows to define a curvature operator also on pure topological spaces without connection. The main advantage of this theory is that the only required information about the topological spaces is the structure of these spaces. A formulation of quantum gravity is also possible with this theory

The 2010 Campus Climate Survey: Status Characteristics as Predictors of Campus Climate Perceptions

Diversity issues are still real and relevant concerns for organizations; university campuses are no exception. This study surveyed the faculty and staff at Clemson University in South Carolina about their experiences with diversity issues and the campus climate. The research question evaluated what influenced employees to have a negative perception of the campus climate. In addition to status characteristics, a respondent\u27s level of cultural competence and exposure to harassment and discrimination were considered. A respondent\u27s race was found to be the most influential of the status characteristics while experiencing harassment or discrimination was also significant. Cultural competence was significant in some models, pointing to the appropriateness of incorporating this relatively new concept into the campus climate literature. Administrators and other stakeholders at the university can use this information when making policy decisions or changes. In addition, the Cultural Competence and Campus Climate Indices created through this study hold promise for subsequent research
