Gauge theories, solitons, and monopoles

Title: Gauge theories, solitons, and monopoles

Authors: Mohar, Wasil

Abstract: Gauge theories are believed to underlie all elementary particle interactions. Starting from the Lagrangian formulation of mechanics, this thesis proceeds to develop Lagrangian field theory, and the principle of local gauge invariance. It is shown how local gauge invariance can be used to account for the electromagnetic, strong, and weak interactions. The ideas of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism are shown to be essential for the description of the weak interactions. These concepts,combined with a knowledge of solitons, which are localized static steady-profile wave solutions, are then used to investigate the triplet Higgs model, which is shown to possess magnetic monopole solutions.

Outside-in : application interoperability using an OSID-based framework

Title: Outside-in : application interoperability using an OSID-based framework

Authors: Franco, Adam

Abstract: This paper describes an interoperability demonstration given at OpeniWorld-Europe 2008, Lyons, France. Segue and Concerto are two curricular applications built upon Harmoni, an Open Service Interface Definition-based (OSID) service-oriented application framework. This demonstration will show how website content created in Segue is stored as OSID Assets in Harmoni’s OSID Repository. Similarly, the demonstration will show how multimedia assets created in Concerto can be stored in the same repository. Interoperability will be demonstrated as each application is used to view and make real-time modifications to the OSID Assets created using the other application, while at the same time respecting the authorizations given to those assets. Additionally, an OSID Repository to OAI-PMH gateway will be shown providing the LibraryFind meta-search tool with access to the metadata for content created in Segue, Concerto, and a lightweight, read-only OSID Repository.

Title: The American Studies web museum : primary source materials as a digital resource at Middlebury College

Authors: Wentink, Andrew Mark; Allen, Holly M.

Abstract: Presented at the 2006 ACRL-New England spring conference, this poster describes a collaborative effort between special collections librarian Andy Wentink and faculty member Holly Allen. Their aim was to provide a student-centered, student-created digital resource based on primary source materials located within Special Collections at Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vt.
