This thesis is an exposition of spectral theory for bounded operators on Hilbert space. Detailed proofs are given for the functional calculus, the multiplication operator, and the projection-valued measure versions of the ...

Spectrally-resolved differential reflectivity experiments on GaMnAs over a broad spectral range (1.4-2.0 eV) are presented, representing the first such measurements in a III-Mn-V diluted magnetic semiconductor. Comparison ...

We present near-infrared spectroscopic observations from VLT ISAAC of thirteen 250\mu m-luminous galaxies in the CDF-S, seven of which have confirmed redshifts which average to = 2.0 \pm 0.4. Another two sources of the 13 ...

There are two ways of viewing autism: as an affliction, or as an identity. The first, biomedical perspective is most common, but communities of self-advocates are lobbying for a more socio-cultural approach, arguing for ...

Drawing on the concepts of “habitus” (Bourdieu & Passeron, 1990), “stigma management,” (Goffman, 1963) and “moral boundaries” (Sayer, 2005) which feature strongly in the existing literature on working-class students, this ...
