Abstract Nonprofit organizations faced enormous challenges in maintaining service operations and fulfilling their responsibilities to communities during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Good leadership is key ensuring effective responses survival of nonprofits a crisis. Leaders must maintain commitment, passion, dedication teams even uncertain difficult times. Hence, this study explored performance nonpr...

We present laser beam astigmatism results obtained by Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy. Measurements made with this technique on the high reflecting facet of a Graded Index Separate Confinement Heterojunction laser diode indicate the lateral beam waist is outside of the device structure, seemingly in contradiction to far-field measurements made on the low reflecting output facet of the de...

This study explored the kinetics of ultraviolet (UV) laser photoinitiated polymerization in thick polymer systems to achieve improved polymerization efficiency and uniformity. The modeling system comprised an incident UV laser and its reflecting beam, which was focused by a concave mirror to compensate for the exponential decay in the absorbing medium. The polymerization kinetic equation was nu...

Control-theoretic inverse models are very useful for learning and generating flexible sensorygoal directed motor behaviors. We have recently proposed a simple eligibility-weighted Hebbian learning rule capable of provably forming inverse models in high dimensional linear networks by associating random motor explorations with their future sensory consequences [1]. In this theory the inverse mode...

This paper provides a brief introduction to the secret level of Tibetan spiritual biographies (gsang ba’i rnam thar) and autobiographies rang rnam) with focus on visions in meditation dreams. In analysis section, some appropriately selected episodes such aspects taken from one Second Pawo, Tsuklak Trengwa (dpa’ bo gtsug lag phreng ba; 1504–1566), called The Mirror Reflecting Illusory Countenanc...
