Steven M. Lowenstein Collection - Addenda. 1960s-2007
No full textThe Steven Lowenstein Collections documents professional activities of Steven Lowenstein, writer, researcher, historian, and teacher. Documents comprising the collection reflect his interests in a wide spectrum of topics related to Jews and Judaism, such as modernity and tradition and their influence on the religion and common folks; Berlin Jews of the upper strata; similarities and differences between agrarian/rural and urban Jews; popular and official Judaism; secular and religious Jews; and other Jewish related topics. However, there is a very small amount of materials related to his professional activities other than research and writing.There are two distinct types of materials – correspondence and manuscripts: Correspondence collected here pertain to Steven Lowenstein’s writings and publishing efforts; his teaching activities; conferences; writings by others; and research projects. Additional correspondence dealing with Steven Lowenstein’s editorial work, writings, and publishing efforts is found in Series II: Writings.Writings collected here range from large scale works to short essays, reviews and lectures. By and large, his manuscripts are accompanied by very extensive supplementary materials such as notes, research files, correspondence with publishers regarding publications and publication’s rights, small amount of correspondence with colleagues, and printed materials. Additionally, there are legal documents, such as agreements and permissions; small amount of printed materials, and photographs.Steven Lowenstein, scholar, teacher, and a writer was born in New York in 1945 into a family of German –Jewish refugees. He received his master’s degree from Princeton University in 1969 and went on earning a doctorate degree from Princeton University in 1972. He taught at a number of universities, including Columbia University and Monmouth College, and worked as a researcher at YIVO and the Leo Baeck Institute. In the late 1970s Dr. Lowenstein moved to California where he taught Jewish history at the American Jewish University. He is the author of a large number of scholarly works, including The Jewish Cultural Tapestry: International Jewish Folk Traditions; The Berlin Jewish Community: Enlightenment, Family and Crisis, 1770-1830; and Frankfurt on the Hudson: The German-Jewish Community of Washington Heights, 1933-1983, Its structure and Culture.digitize

Reflection Grating Array Associated with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer Developed by the Space Research Organization of the Netherlands for the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM)
No full textThe University of California, Berkeley (UCB) served as the Principal Investigator institution for the United States participation in the development of the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) which included the design, development, fabrication, and testing of the Reflection Grating Assembly (RGA). UCB was assisted in this role by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Columbia University who provided the primary facilities, materials, services and personnel necessary to complete the development. UC Berkeley's Dr. Steven Kahn provided the technical and scientific oversight for the design. development and testing of the RGA units by monitoring the performance of the units at various stages in their development. Dr. Kahn was also the primary contact with the Space Research Organization of the Netherlands (SRON) and represented the RGA development at all SRON and European Space Agency (ESA) reviews of the RGA status. In accordance with the contract, the team designed and developed novel optical technology to meet the unique requirements of the RGS. The ESA XMM-Newton Mission carries two identical Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RGS) behind two of its three nested sets of Wolter I type mirrors. The instrument allows high-resolution measurements in the soft X-ray range (6 to 38 angstroms or 2.1 to 0.3 keV) with a maximum effective area of about 140 sq cm at 15 angstroms. Its design is optimized for the detection of the K-shell transitions of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, magnesium, and silicon. as well as the L shell transitions of iron. The RGA itself consists of two units. A structure for each unit was designed to hold up to 220 gratings. In its final configuration, one unit holds 182 gratings and the second hold 181 gratings
Steven Bryant’s Solace: a conductor’s analysis and performance guide
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine Solace, a musical composition for wind ensemble, by Steven Bryant composed for the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Wind Ensemble and premiered at the 2013 College Band Directors National Association National Conference. Through a conductor's analysis and performance guide, the author provided insight and background knowledge to all future performers and interpreters of the work through unique first hand accounts from commission to premiere performance. The research method included three processes: 1. A detailed analysis of the musical score, 2. The observation of rehearsals and recording sessions during preparation for the premiere performance of Solace by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Wind Ensemble, Kevin M. Geraldi, conductor, 3. Extensive interviews of Steven Bryant, composer and Kevin M. Geraldi, conductor. Through examination of prior research on electro-acoustic works for wind ensemble, the author examined Solace within those constructs. Because of the blurring of lines between electronics and acoustic sound, the author further identified Solace as a unique musical composition within the electro-acoustic genre
