Parallax and Distance Estimates for Fourteen Cataclysmic Variable Stars
, 2003 I used the 2.4 m Hiltner telescope at MDM Observatory in an attempt to measure trigonometric parallaxes for 14 cataclysmic variable stars. Techniques are described in detail.

Public Administration, EarlyView.ABSTRACT New research argues that robust governance based on flexible adaptation and proactive innovation is needed in order to uphold core public functions, purposes, and values in times of societal turbulence. However, we have limited knowledge of the conditions for enhancing robust governance.

On the orbital period of the cataclysmic variable RZ Leonis [PDF]
, 2001 In this research note we present a time-resolved study of the Balmer emission lines of RZ Leo. From the analysis of the radial velocities we find an orbital period of 0.07651(26) d.

Teaching New Religious Movements Historically: Distance, Empathy, and Cults in the Classroom
Teaching Theology &Religion, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Resistance to understanding the beliefs of modern New Religious Movements (NRMs) is well‐known to those who teach in the area. This paper builds on Eugene Gallagher's repurposing of “methodological belief” for college classes on NRMs by suggesting that scholars and teachers in the field of religious studies engage methods and content drawn ...

OBSERVATIONS OF CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES AT KOLONICA OBSERVATORY
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2007 We present a small sample of our observations of cataclysmic variable stars obtained at Kolonica Observatory, The presented data for CI UMa, MR UMa and SW UM were obtained in 2006 and 2007. Our observations demonstrate that also the small telescopes with

Hibernation Revived by Weak Magnetic Braking [PDF]
, 2006 Cataclysmic variables undergo periodic nova explosions during which a finite mass of material is expelled on a short timescale. The system widens and, as a result, the mass-transfer rate drops.
