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

Restoring color-magnitude diagrams with the Richardson-Lucy algorithm
No full textAims. We present an application of the Richardson-Lucy algorithm to the analysis of color-magnitude diagrams by converting the CMD into an image and using a restoring point spread function function (psf) derived from the known, often complex, sources of error. Methods. We show numerical experiments that demonstrate good recovery of the original image and establish convergence rates for ideal cases with single Gaussian uncertainties and poisson noise using a chi(2) statistic. About 30-50 iterations suffice. As an application, we show the results for a particular case, the Hipparcos sample of the solar neighborhood where the uncertainties are mainly due to parallax which we model with a composite weighted Gaussian using the observed error distributions. The resulting psf has a slightly narrower core and broader wings than a single Gaussian. The reddening and photometric errors are considerably reduced by restricting the sample to within 80 pc and to M-V <= 3.5. Results. We find that the recovered "image", which has a narrower, better defined main sequence and a more clearly defined red giant clump, can be used as input to stellar evolution modeling of the star formation rate in the solar vicinity and, with more contributing uncertainties taken into account, for general Galactic and extragalactic structure and population studies

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
