Our Science and Technology Courses are created for the students looking to build upon skills from last year and to prepare for new challenges in the year to come. These summer courses focus on essential concepts with an emphasis on material from the classroom while propelling them forward into successful careers.
Wikipedia is a free multilingual online encyclopedia covering a wide range of general and specific knowledge. Its con- tent is continuously maintained up-to-date and extended by a supporting community. In many cases, real-world events influence the collaborative editing of Wikipedia articles of the involved or affected entities. In this paper, we present Wikipedia Event Reporter, a web-based system that supports the entity-centric, temporal analytics of event-related information in Wikipedia by analyzing the whole history of article updates. For a given entity, the system first identifies peaks of update activities for the entity using burst detection and automatically extracts event-related updates using a machine-learning approach. Further, the system deter- mines distinct events through the clustering of updates by exploiting different types of information such as update time, textual similarity, and the position of the updates within an article. Finally, the system generates the meaningful temporal summarization of event-related updates and automatically annotates the identified events in a timeline.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

CENTER FOR PHYSICS
2015
SUMMER PROGRAM
May 24 to September 13, 2015
The program of the Aspen Center for Physics is based on individual and collaborative
research and the informal exchange of ideas. In an environment free from normal
distractions, more than five hundred scientists from over a hundred U.S. and international
institutions participate in the Center’s summer program with eighty to ninety in residence at
any one time. Research interests include astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter physics,
dynamical systems, elementary particle physics, mathematical physics and statistical
physics. The stimulating interaction among participants with diverse interests and
backgrounds is one of the most fruitful aspects of the program. Opportunities for
collaboration and for initiating new research are always available as colleagues from a variety
of subfields are present throughout the summer. In addition to the unstructured program of
Individual Research and Working Groups, Informal Workshops are also scheduled.

will be considered only in exceptional circumstances.
Proposals for the 2016 Winter Conferences are also invited.
The deadline to submit them is January 15.
Physicists who wish to pursue a serious program of research at the Center are invited to
apply. Applications by small working groups and independent researchers are strongly
encouraged. An effort is made to select a diversity of participants from a wide field of
physics, ranging in experience from post-doctoral fellows to senior scientists, and
representing a variety of institutions. Special consideration is given to physicists who have
never participated or who have not participated recently. The Aspen Center for Physics is
committed to the significant participation of women and under-represented groups in all of its
programs. While there are no experimental facilities available, experimentalists are
encouraged to participate in the Center’s programs.
Many summer participants bring their families with them to Aspen. Numerous childcare and
day camp options are available within the Aspen/Snowmass area and current information
and advice is available through the Center and local websites. Weekly picnics at the Physics
Center give families an opportunity to meet and share activities.
Individual participants must provide for their own expenses from their contracts, grants,
fellowships or regular appointments. Through a grant from the NSF, the Center provides
partial financial support for the housing we arrange for you.
Application Deadline is January 31, 2015
