In recommending that the 1995 NRC rankings in Assessing the Quality of Research-Doctorate Programs: Continuity and Change be updated as soon as possible, this study presents an improved approach to doctoral program assessment which will be useful to administrators, faculty, and others with an interest in improving the education of Ph.D.s in the United States. It reviews the methodology of the 1995 NRC rankings and recommends changes, including the collection of new data about Ph.D. students, additional data about faculty, and new techniques to present data on the qualitative assessment of doctoral program reputation. It also recommends revision of the taxonomy of fields from that used in the 1995 rankings.ResearchUnited StatesEvaluationDoctor of philosophy degreeUnited StatesEvaluationScienceStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesEvaluationEngineeringStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesEvaluationHumanitiesStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesEvaluationResearchEvaluation.Doctor of philosophy degreeEvaluation.ScienceStudy and teaching (Higher)Evaluation.EngineeringStudy and teaching (Higher)Evaluation.HumanitiesStudy and teaching (Higher)Evaluation.507/.2/073Ostriker J.

This work presents developments in cosmology, theoretical physics and mathematics, and covers the future of spacetime physics.Two theories revolutionized the 20th century view of space and time: Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Their union has given rise to elementary particle theories with extra spacetime dimensions, the inflationary model of big bang cosmology, the hypothesis of dark matter in the universe, the discovery of radiation from quantum black holes, and the fuzzy spacetime geometry of superstrings and M-theory. In this work, experts present developments in cosmology, theoretical physics and mathematics, and share their thoughts on the future of spacetime physics.Spacetime odysseyProceedings of the Inaugural Conference of the Michigan Center for Theoretical PhysicsPhysicsCongressesAstronomyCongressesSpace and timeCongressesPhysicsAstronomySpace and time530Duff M.
