My talk today is based on a research project, housed at the University of Pennsylvania, that we have undertaken for the UNFPA and UNDESD. The project, with the same title as the draft material distributed for this conference, is a collaborative effort among Lawrence Klein, Fred Campano, Dominick Salvatore, and myself. The principal issue in the project is the simultaneous interaction between demographic and socio-economic variables in the development process of an emerging economy. The main concrete objective is to construct an operational econometric framework which establishes appropriate feedback linkages between demographic and economic movements and allows meaningful examination of conflicts and consistencies of population policies with economic policies. This is essential in formulating appropriate population and other policies and in evaluating their effectiveness in promoting the demographic and socio-economic developmental goals of society.

In this article, the author describes how a collaborative effort among advisors produced some very useful self-help materials for students who are in the process of deciding on a major. The author states that the advising staff of the College of Arts and Sciences at The University of Pennsylvania offers its “Choosing a Major: Factors to Consider” checklist to NACADA members, who may adapt it for their own students. The advising staff invite recommendations for improving the material.

Selecting a research topic is an integral part of graduate studies. According to Skip Brass, Associate Dean and Director of the MD-PhD program at the University of Pennsylvania, you need to “pick a problem that interests you. You will be living with it for a long time. Make sure it is something you will want to wrestle with even when the going gets rough. It has to make you want to get up early, work late, come in on the weekend, and think about it in the shower.” This paper aims to make the process of choosing and evaluating a research topic a little easier through providing some helpful steps in formulating a successful project.

A “new charts program” for the Americal Association of Variable Star Observers was instigated in 1966 via the gift to the Association of the complete variable star observing records, charts, photographs, etc. of the late Prof. Charles P. Olivier of the University of Pennsylvania (USA). Adequate material covering about 60 variables, not previously charted by the AAVSO, was included in this original data, and was suitably charted in reproducible standard format.Since 1966, much additional information has been assembled from other sources, three Catalogs have been issued which list the new or revised charts produced, and which specify how copies of same may be obtained. The latest such Catalog is dated June 1978, and lists 670 different charts covering a total of 611 variables none of which was charted in reproducible standard form previous to 1966.

The Type I simple cold block device was described by Bullivant and Ames in 1966 and represented the product of the first successful effort to simplify the equipment required to do sophisticated freeze-cleave techniques. Bullivant, Weinstein and Someda described the Type II device which is a modification of the Type I device and was developed as a collaborative effort at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The modifications reduced specimen contamination and provided controlled specimen warming for heat-etching of fracture faces. We have now tested the Mass. General Hospital version of the Type II device (called the “Type II-MGH device”) on a wide variety of biological specimens and have established temperature and pressure curves for routine heat-etching with the device.

At Home

To slow down the spread of the Coronavirus, the population has been instructed to stay<br>at home if possible. This measure consequently has a major impact on our daily mobility<br>behaviour. But who is being affected, and how? The MOBIS-COVID-19 research project,<br>an initiative of ETH Zurich and the University of Basel, is a continuation of the original<br>MOBIS study. The aim of the project is to get a picture of how the crisis is affecting<br>mobility and everyday life in Switzerland.
