Perturbative and Non-perturbative Aspects of the Chern-Simons-Witten Theory
No full textWe investigate a relation between non-perturbative and perturbative cases in the 2+1 dimensional Chern-Simons-
Witten (CSW) theory for G = E6 gauge group. In the perturbative case, we calculate the vacuum expectation value(VEV) of an unknotted Wilson loop operator up to order 1/k3 (k is a coupling constant). The result above is proved
to be identical to the polynomial invariant E0 (ρ) in the non-perturbative case at the same order of expansion

Evaluation as adventure: taking that risk
No full textHelen Simons traces the values that underpin her preferred methodology of case study and democratic evaluation to the central values she gained from the land of her birth. She looks back to consider what early experiences may have influenced her deep commitment to these values and how they impacted on her professional world as a teacher, a psychologist, and an evaluator. Her interview transcript which was a stimulus for this article is here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/wol1/doi/10.1002/ev.20302/suppinfo. Read only.

Vincent Vince Simons Interview, November 1988
No full textVincent “Vince” Simons describes moving to Montana from South Dakota by hopping a boxcar in 1931 in hopes of finding a lucrative job as a miner during the Great Depression. Simons recalls finding a job in 1933 with a gold dredging operation in Pioneer Gulch, Montana, working for the Pioneer Placer Dredging Company. Simons discusses the construction of the Mosier dredge, what sorts of materials were used in the construction process, the mechanics of the dredge in operation, and discusses the volume of earth the dredge could move and particularly large strikes. He also views photos of the dredge that indicate the various stages of construction and points out the different pieces of equipment and how they functioned. Simons talks about disputes among dredge workers and instances of “crookedness” within the dredging operation, as well as disputes between the company owners and surrounding landowners.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/mtunionsandlabor_oralhistory/1009/thumbnail.jp
