Bush, the book seeks to ground unitary executive theory with exhaustive historical evidence. Although the authors do not purport to present a history of the presidency, they do provide important and co...

Statement Julian

My mathematical research interests are in number theory and algebraic geometry. My thesis work concerns the arithmetic of a family of rational numbers known as multiple harmonic sums, which are truncated approximations of multiple zeta values. I explore new structures underlying relations involving multiple harmonic sums, p-adic L-values, Bernoulli numbers, and binomial coefficients. This is us...

Madden-julian Oscillation

[1] The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant component of the intraseasonal (30–90 days) variability in the tropical atmosphere. It consists of large-scale coupled patterns in atmospheric circulation and deep convection, with coherent signals in many other variables, all propagating eastward slowly ( 5 m s ) through the portion of the Indian and Pacific oceans where the sea surface i...

Julian McAuley - teaching statement

I have worked as a teaching assistant for classes on concurrency, complexity theory, algorithms, soware engineering, and introductory computer science. A typical course involved giving a series of  one-hour tutorials, supervising laboratory exercises, marking, and holding regular office hours. My tutorials were popular and well aended, and I was routinely invited to return for subsequent it...
