This paper describes an early-stage investigation into approaches and tools to collect, manage, and deliver institutional metrics to the senior command of the United States Marine Corps. The paper describes how contemporary approaches to institutional metrics and supporting tools from more traditional organizations were adapted to Marine Corps priorities. The study explores current institutiona...

In 1970 the National Health Service Corps (NHSC or Corps) was created as part of the Emergency Health Personnel Act. The goal of this agency is to provide health personnel, most often physicians, to communities that are deemed “medically underserved.” The Corps has provided an important subsidy to medical students by providing access to full scholarships covering tuition and fees in exchange fo...

A local analogue of the Grothendieck Conjecture is an equivalence of the category of complete discrete valuation fields K with finite residue fields of characteristic p 6= 0 and the category of absolute Galois groups of fields K together with their ramification filtrations. The case of characteristic 0 fields K was considered by Mochizuki several years ago. Then the author proved it by differen...

Il faut distinguer les codes correcteurs d’erreurs de la cryptographie. Les codes correcteurs d’erreur servent à protéger l’information d’erreurs de transmission ou de stockage. On peut trouver dans ce texte, avec des références bibliographiques précises, des idées d’exposés ou d’applications pour plusieurs leçons portant sur l’algèbre linéaire ou les polynômes. (Les titres des leçons sont ceux...

Un groupe stable est dit monobasé si tout ensemble définissable est combinaison booléenne de cossettes de sous-groupes définissables. Cette propriété géométrique généralise celle des géométries projectives associées aux espaces vectoriels. La démonstration modèle-théorique de la conjecture de Mordell-Lang pour le cas de corps de fonctions [7] consiste à remplacer le groupe de type fini pour un ...
