Often it is mentioned by participants that having peers speak out about their personal journey has instilled a sense of hope and been an inspiring experience. From this evolved the Mentor program. The Body Image and Eating Disorders Treatment and Recovery Service (BETRS) Mentor Program has been developed to complement the professional expertise within the team. Our Mentors share their lived exp...

In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...

Reactive real-time software is used when safety is the issue and the margin for errors is narrow. Such software is used in automotive, avionics, air traffic control, space shuttle control, medical equipment, nuclear power stations, etc. As the timeliness of those systems is critical, it needs to be assured and tested. However, real-time properties require automated tests as manual tests are unt...

Twitter offers a phenomenal platform for the social sharing of information. We describe new resources that have been created in the context of the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) to support the academic study of Twitter as a real-time information source. We formalize an information seeking task—real-time search—and offer a methodology for measuring system effectiveness. At the TREC 2011 Microb...
