In this capacity he was responsible for supporting commercial, defense and civil space customers with innovative and affordable propulsion solutions. Kent also served as vice president of Propulsion Systems Division’s Test and Research Operations, where his responsibilities included the overall testing of rocket motors, warheads and components and support for research and development operations. He joined Northrop Grumman in October 2006 as vice president, Advanced Programs, following distinguished careers with NASA and the U.S. Navy.
Rominger was selected as a NASA astronaut in 1992. A veteran of five space shuttle flights, including two as the mission commander, he has logged over 1,600 hours and traveled almost 27 million miles in space. He culminated his NASA career as the chief of the Astronaut Office.
Rominger was commissioned as a naval officer in 1979. During his 26-year career, he served as an F-14 Tomcat pilot with fighter squadrons VF-2 and VF-211 and as a Navy test pilot. While with VF-211, he completed a deployment to the Arabian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm. Rominger is a graduate of the Navy Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) and the Naval Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Maryland. He has logged more than 7,000 flying hours in 35 different types of aircraft and has completed 685 carrier landings.

Phosphino-arene ruthenium complexes containing the phosphorus acid anion {P(=O)(OR)(2)} as P-donor
No full textThe cationic complex [Ru(OTf)(P(OH)Ph-2){Ph2P-(eta (6)-arene)}]OTf,2(2a=6'-diphenylphosphino-1'-naphthyl-eta (6)((1-6))-naphthalene, 2b = 6,6'-dimethoxy-2'-diphenylphosphino-eta (6)((1-6))-biphenyl), is shown to react with water/tert-butyl alcohol/THF mixtures to afford [Ru(P(=O)(OH)(2){Ph2P-(eta (6)-arene)}](2)(OTf)(2), 4. The solid-state structure of a derivative, [Ru{P(=O)(OH)(OMe)}{Ph2P-(naphthyl-eta (6)-naphthalene}](2)(OTf)(2), 6, is reported and found to possess extremely asymmetric eta (6)-arene bonding. Complexes 4 and 6, plus a mononuclear dimethoxy analogue, [Ru(P(=O)-(OMe)(2)(Ph2P-(naphthyl-eta (6)-naphthalene)](OTf), 8, represent the first examples of Ru-compounds that contain the phosphorus acid anion P(=O)(OR) 2 (R = H and/or Me) as an anionic P-donor ligand. PGSE diffusion measurements are shown to be helpful in distinguishing between dinuclear oxygen bridging species and their mononuclear analogues
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters

John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
