https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary%20D.%20Sammel | Mary Dupuis Sammel is a biostatistician, who works as a professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. As well as doing research on theoretical statistics and reproductive health,
she also raises guide dogs and has published research on their upbringing.
Education and career
Sammel graduated from the University of Michigan in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in statistics and completed a master's degree in applied statistics in 1988 at the same university. She did her doctoral studies at the Harvard School of Public Health, completing a Sc.D. in biostatistics in 1995.
Work with guide dogs
Sammel and her family have been active at fostering future guide dogs, from infancy through puppyhood until they are ready to go on to more intensive training with The Seeing Eye as a guide dog.
With a student, Emily Bray, Sammel studied the effects of dogs' mothers' behavior on the dogs. Their work showed that dogs with overly-attentive mothers tended to be less effective as guide dogs,
and less successful at completing guide dog training.
Recognition
In 2015, Sammel was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard%20H.%20Stockbridge | Richard H. Stockbridge is a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His contributions to research primarily involve stochastic control theory, optimal stopping and mathematical finance. Most notably, alongside Professors Thomas G. Kurtz, Kurt Helmes, and Chao Zhu, he developed the methodology of using linear programming to solve stochastic control problems.
Education
Stockbridge obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the supervision of Thomas G. Kurtz with a dissertation entitled "Time-Average Control of Martingale Problems". He also holds a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and attended St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, for his baccalaureate studies.
Academic career
Following the awarding of his Ph.D., Stockbridge served as an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Case Western Reserve University from 1987 to 1988. He then took an assistant professor position at the University of Kentucky from 1988 to 1993, leading to an associate professorship which he held until 2000. Later, Stockbridge began working at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and became a full professor in 2002. In 2018, he was awarded the title of "distinguished professor" by the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Distinguished Faculty Committee.
Stockbridge has also held various visiting positions, including:
Visiting Scholar, Heriot Watt University, School of Mathematical and Computer Science, Edinburgh, Scotland, March–August 2016
Sabbaticant Professor, University of Botswana, Department of Mathematics, July 2008 – January 2009
Visiting Fellow, Bath University, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Bath, England, January–July 1997
Visiting Assistant Professor, University of Kentucky, Department of Mathematics, Lexington, Kentucky, 1988–89
Research
Professor Stockbridge's research is focused on developing linear programming techniques in stochastic control. These techniques give an alternative formulation to the traditional dynamic programming framework used in stochastic control problems and have been demonstrated in examples including control of the running maximum of a diffusion, optimal stopping problems, and regime-switching diffusions.
Through the completion of his Ph.D. dissertation, Stockbridge examined the relationship between long-term average stochastic control problems and linear programs spanning the space of stationary distributions for that controlled process, ultimately concluding their equivalence. This dissertation served as a basis for significant work in the field.
Following his graduate studies, Stockbridge helped expand the applications of this equivalence between linear programming and stochastic control to include discounted, first-exit and finite horizon problems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther%20Seiden | Esther Seiden (; March 9, 1908 – June 3, 2014) was a mathematical statistician known for her research on the design of experiments and combinatorial design theory. In the study of finite geometry, she introduced the concept of the complement of an oval, and her work with Rita Zemach on orthogonal arrays of strength four was described as "the first significant progress" on the subject.
Early life and education
Seiden was born to a Polish-speaking Jewish middle-class family in West Galicia, and educated at a Zionist gymnasium in Krakow.
Against her father's wishes, she went into mathematics. She began her university studies at the University of Krakow but moved after a year to Stefan Batory University in Vilnius, where an uncle was a high school mathematics teacher. There, as well as pure mathematics, she also studied physics and mathematical logic.
Although she planned a teaching career with the master's degree she earned, her instructors provided support to continue her studies for another year. By that time, violence between anti-Jewish student groups and Jewish counter-protesters in Vilnius had led to the death of a student, so she was sent away to the University of Warsaw, where she studied logic with Alfred Tarski and Stanisław Leśniewski.
Activism in Palestine
After completing her studies, Seiden became a schoolteacher at a Jewish school from 1932 to 1934. By this time, she had long felt like a second-class citizen in Europe and wished to move to Mandatory Palestine. With the help of recommendations from Tarski and one of her Vilnius professors, she obtained admission to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which allowed her to move there in 1935. In Palestine, she continued her work as a teacher, and studied mathematics at the Hebrew University under Abraham Fraenkel. However, her interest in mathematics diminished as she became involved in the paramilitary Haganah and then worked in the Red Cross during World War II.
Statistics
At the end of the war, Seiden came to work for the Palestine Census of Industry and began studying statistics under Aryeh Dvoretzky.
On the recommendation of Tarski, she entered graduate study in statistics at the University of California, Berkeley in 1947 as an assistant to Jerzy Neyman. She began her work in experimental design, a topic she came to through lectures from Berkeley visitor Raj Chandra Bose. She completed her Ph.D. in 1949. Her dissertation, supervised by Neyman, was On a problem of confounding in symmetrical factorial design. Contribution to the theory of tests of composite hypotheses.
After shorter positions on the faculties of the University of Buffalo, University of Chicago, University of Chicago, American University, Northwestern University, and the Indian Statistical Institute, she moved to Michigan State University in 1960. She retired from Michigan State in 1978, only to return to the Hebrew University as a faculty member, and she remained active at the Hebrew University for many more year |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita%20Zemach | Rita B. Zemach (née Dresner, April 3, 1926 – June 8, 2015) was an American statistician who worked for the Michigan Department of Public Health, and helped promote women in statistics.
Early life and education
Rita Dresner started her undergraduate studies at New York University, but transferred to Barnard College in her junior year.
At Barnard, she became a member of the editorial staff of the Barnard Bulletin, the school newspaper.
She graduated from Barnard in 1947.
Statistics career
As Rita Zemach, she became an elected member of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 1961,
and earned her Ph.D. in statistics in 1965 from Michigan State University. Her dissertation, supervised by Esther Seiden, was On Orthogonal Arrays of Strength Four and Their Applications. She later published this work, "the first significant progress on orthogonal arrays of strength 4", with Seiden in the Annals of Mathematical Statistics.
Her later research concerned more applied areas of statistics, in health and resource allocation. By 1979, she had become chief of statistics research and education for the Michigan Department of Public Health.
Recognition
Zemach was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 1987.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliet%20Popper%20Shaffer | Juliet Popper Shaffer (born May 23, 1932) is an American psychologist, statistician and statistics educator known for her research on multiple hypothesis testing. She is a teaching professor emerita at the University of California, Berkeley.
Education and career
Juliet Martha Popper was born in Brooklyn, and took four years of mathematics at Midwood High School in Brooklyn, a curriculum that was at that time intended only for boys. She did her undergraduate studies at Swarthmore College, following the lead of classmate Arthur Mattuck, and despite the anti-women and anti-Jewish admission quotas then in place at Swarthmore. After several changes of topic she ended up majoring in psychology and minoring in mathematics and philosophy. She graduated in 1953, married a classmate, and moved to Stanford University for graduate study in psychology. Her marriage broke up during her studies, but she completed her Ph.D. in psychology at in 1957. She published a modified version of her dissertation, Motivational and social factors in children's perceptions of height, as Social and personality correlates of children's estimates of height with Journal Press in 1964.
After postdoctoral studies with William Kaye Estes at Indiana University, she joined the faculty in psychology at the University of Kansas.
At Kansas, Popper was involved with local struggles for desegregation, and became the first chair of the university's Affirmative Action Board. During this time she married her second husband, Harry G. Shaffer, another faculty member who already had children. She was informed at the time of their marriage that, because of Kansas's anti-nepotism rules, only one of her or her husband could win tenure, but this rule was changed when she finally went up for tenure, a year late because having children made her department think she wasn't serious about psychology. The part-time teaching schedule she followed while raising her children delayed her chances for taking a sabbatical, but finally, in 1973, she was allowed to take a sabbatical at Berkeley, under the supervision of Erich Leo Lehmann. In the same year she divorced her husband.
In 1977 she married Lehmann and moved to Berkeley. The psychology department there was not hiring, so she took a visiting position at the University of California, Davis and then a year later became a lecturer in statistics at Berkeley. At Berkeley, she also ran a "drop-in consulting service", and by 1981 achieved security of employment, the equivalent of tenure for lecturers. She retired in 1994, and spent several of the following years as a researcher at the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, New Jersey.
Research
Shaffer's work in psychology at Kansas involved learning theory, personality, and perception. She also developed experimental designs to test the theories of a colleague, Fritz and Grace Heider, involving the ways in which the personal connection between two people can influence the transmission of a feeling towards |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winner%20and%20loser%20effects | The winner and loser effect is an aggression phenomenon in which the winner effect is the increased probability that an animal will win future aggressive interactions after experiencing previous wins, while the loser effect is the increased probability that an animal will lose future aggressive interactions after experiencing previous losses. Overall these effects can either increase or decrease an animals aggressive behaviour, depending on what effect affects the species of concern. Animals such as Agkistrodon contortrix, Rivulus marmoratus, and Sula nebouxii show either both or one of these effects.
The outcomes of winner and loser effects help develop and structure hierarchies in nature and is used to support the game theory model of aggression.
Causation
A theory underlying the causation of the winner and loser effect deals with an animals perception on its own and other members resource holding potential. Essentially if an animal perceives that it has a high resource holding potential then it considers itself to be a dominant member of an intraspecific community. If an animal perceives that it has a low resource holding potential then it considers itself to be a less dominant member. This perception of resource holding potential is further enhanced or disrupted when aggressive challenges arise. If an animal wins an encounter then its perception of its own resource holding potential increases, just as if an animal loses, its perception of its resource holding potential decreases. Animals, regardless of size, with a higher perception of resource holding potential are more likely to initiate aggressive behaviour to maintain their dominance within a community. Overall the larger the difference between the perception of two fighting animals resource holding potential, the higher the chance of the animal with the higher resource holding potential of winning the encounter. Based on this theory an animal who assumes itself as a high resource holding individual is likely to be a dominant/aggressive member while an animal who assumes self as a low resource holding individual is likely to be a submissive/non-aggressive member of a community.
The reason an animal will accept its dominant or submissive position in a hierarchy is because of the game theory model of aggression. Based on the hawk and dove game, being a hawk (aggressive individual) or dove (submissive individual) can be beneficial depending on the fitness associated with the trait. Game theory discusses a frequency-dependent model where both traits (aggressive vs submissive) can exist when the frequency of each meets an evolutionary stable strategy (ESS).
Hormonal stimulation
In some animals winner and loser effects have been shown to cause hormonal differences in blood plasma. Hormones like corticosterone are found to be higher in animals experiencing loser effects than those experiencing winner effects. Corticosterone is a stress hormone and is likely raised due to the implications o |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semisimple%20representation | In mathematics, specifically in representation theory, a semisimple representation (also called a completely reducible representation) is a linear representation of a group or an algebra that is a direct sum of simple representations (also called irreducible representations). It is an example of the general mathematical notion of semisimplicity.
Many representations that appear in applications of representation theory are semisimple or can be approximated by semisimple representations. A semisimple module over an algebra over a field is an example of a semisimple representation. Conversely, a semisimple representation of a group G over a field k is a semisimple module over the group ring k[G].
Equivalent characterizations
Let V be a representation of a group G; or more generally, let V be a vector space with a set of linear endomorphisms acting on it. In general, a vector space acted on by a set of linear endomorphisms is said to be simple (or irreducible) if the only invariant subspaces for those operators are zero and the vector space itself; a semisimple representation then is a direct sum of simple representations in that sense.
The following are equivalent:
V is semisimple as a representation.
V is a sum of simple subrepresentations.
Each subrepresentation W of V admits a complementary representation: a subrepresentation W such that .
The equivalences of the above conditions can be shown based on the next lemma, which is of independent interest:
Proof of the lemma: Write where are simple representations. Without loss of generality, we can assume are subrepresentations; i.e., we can assume the direct sum is internal. Now, consider the family of all possible direct sums with various subsets . Put the partial ordering on it by saying the direct sum over K is less than the direct sum over J if . By Zorn's lemma, we can find a maximal such that . We claim that . By definition, so we only need to show that . If is a proper subrepresentatiom of then there exists such that . Since is simple (irreducible), . This contradicts the maximality of , so as claimed. Hence, is a section of p.
Note that we cannot take to the set of such that . The reason is that it can happen, and frequently does, that is a subspace of and yet . For example, take , and to be three distinct lines through the origin in . For an explicit counterexample, let be the algebra of matrices and set , the regular representation of . Set and and set . Then , and are all irreducible -modules and . Let be the natural surjection. Then and . In this case, but because this sum is not direct.
Proof of equivalences : Take p to be the natural surjection . Since V is semisimple, p splits and so, through a section, is isomorphic to a subrepretation that is complementary to W.
: We shall first observe that every nonzero subrepresentation W has a simple subrepresentation. Shrinking W to a (nonzero) cyclic subrepresentation we can assume it is finitely gener |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%20India%20GDP%20rebasing | In 2015, the Central Statistics Office (an office under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation) of the Government of India made a number of changes to the way it calculated the gross domestic product of India, including a change in the base year relative to which calculations are done. This change was known as the 2015 India GDP rebasing or just the rebasing.
Timeline
The new method was used to release updated numbers for Fiscal Year 2013 (April 2013 to March 2014) and 2014 (April 2014 to March 2015). Initial announcements about the change were made in February 2015, and additional series were released in 2015; much of the commentary on the changes happened in April 2015.
Changes made
There were two main changes made to bring Indian GDP calculations more in line with international standards as enshrined in the System of National Accounts: change of the base year to 2011/12, and switch to market prices. A number of other minor changes were made, such as better data sources, and new classification and calculation methods.
Change of base year
Since January 2010, the base year used by statisticians in India's Central Statistics Office was the months endinyear for calculations to the year ending March 2012 (i.e., the 2011/12 year). According to the Frontier Strategy Group, India changes the base year for its GDP calculation about once every five years, so this change was in keeping with past changes.
Change to using market prices
The change also switched GDP calculation to using market prices rather than factor costs. to take into account gross value addition in goods and services as well as indirect taxes and subsidies (adding taxes and reducing subsidies). The change was claimed by the government to be more in line with global practices, and specifically in line with the recommendations of the System of National Accounts (SNA) 2008. Commentators generally agreed; Tim Worstall of Forbes called the previous system of factor costs a relic of the state-driven, manufacturing-focused approach to the economy of the Nehruvian Fabian socialist era.
Incorporation of more and better survey data
The government of India identified three new categories of data sources that were now being used in GDP calculation to make it more reliable:
Corporate sector surveys: Data was used from MCA21, the new initiative of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Coverage of the financial sector was also increased.
Improved coverage of activities of local bodies, both rural and urban, for better coverage of government activity
Results of the National Sample Surveys conducted by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, specifically the Unincorporated Enterprise Survey (2010–11) and Employment-Unemployment Survey (2011–12).
Other changes
A problem common to the old and new series was a lack of annual surveys, particularly to cover changes in the informal sector. The old method used a Labor Input (LI) method, which uses a benchmar |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellman%27s%20lost%20in%20a%20forest%20problem | Bellman's lost-in-a-forest problem is an unsolved minimization problem in geometry, originating in 1955 by the American applied mathematician Richard E. Bellman. The problem is often stated as follows: "A hiker is lost in a forest whose shape and dimensions are precisely known to him. What is the best path for him to follow to escape from the forest?" It is usually assumed that the hiker does not know the starting point or direction he is facing. The best path is taken to be the one that minimizes the worst-case distance to travel before reaching the edge of the forest. Other variations of the problem have been studied.
Although real world applications are not apparent, the problem falls into a class of geometric optimization problems including search strategies that are of practical importance. A bigger motivation for study has been the connection to Moser's worm problem. It was included in a list of 12 problems described by the mathematician Scott W. Williams as "million buck problems" because he believed that the techniques involved in their resolution will be worth at least a million dollars to mathematics.
Approaches
A proven solution is only known for a few shapes or classes of shape. A general solution would be in the form of a geometric algorithm which takes the shape of the forest as input and returns the optimal escape path as the output.

As a result, Nigeria's estimate of its GDP increased by 89%, moving it from Africa's second biggest economy (after South Africa) to the biggest economy. These changes were known as the 2014 Nigeria GDP rebasing or simply the rebasing.
Changes made
Change of base year
The base year for calculation (including information on the market structure) was updated from 1990 to 2010. This was a fairly huge increment in base year; for comparison, the 2010 Ghana GDP rebasing updated the base year from 1993 to 2006, and the 2015 India GDP rebasing updated the base year from 2004/05 to 2011/12.
Change of data sources
GDP can be estimated through three methods: production, income, and expenditure. GDP calculations in Nigeria were previously done purely through the production method. The new data included results on income and expenditure, allowing for better reconciliation of data.
Effect on data series
Overall estimate of economy size increased significantly
The estimate of total GDP of Nigeria increased from 42.4 trillion naira (US$270 billion at exchange rates) to 80.2 trillion naira (US$510 billion at exchange rates), an 89% increase. This was similar to the result of rebasings in other African economies around that time, including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Zambia, and also matched the result of the 2010 Ghana GDP rebasing. It contrasted with the experience of the 2015 India GDP rebasing, where the overall estimate of the size of the economy was slightly reduced.
Nigeria's GDP increase far exceeded the expectations of analysts who had forecast an increase of between 40 and 60 per cent following the rebasing exercise.
As a result of the size change, the stock market capitalization to GDP ratio estimate reduced from 33% to 18% (for comparison, the corresponding ratio for South Africa at the time was 270%). Nigeria's finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala believed this would be interesting to foreign investors interested in the upside potential of emerging markets.
Sectoral composition shifted toward services and away from oil
As a result of this change, more weight was given in the new series to services, with the role of Nollywood (the film industry) and mobile phones increasing significantly. In particular, the telecom industry accounting for more than a quarter of the increase in the GDP estimate. After telecoms, the biggest contributor to the upward shift was traders; this was achieved by increasing the sample of firms from which GDP data are calculated by a factor of about ten. The fraction of the economy devoted to oil reduced by more than half to 14%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally%20Elizabeth%20Carlson | Sally Elizabeth Carlson (October 2, 1896 – November 1, 2000) was an American mathematician, the first woman and one of the first two people to obtain a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Minnesota.
Early life and education
Carlson was born in Minneapolis to a large working-class family of Swedish immigrants. She became her high school valedictorian in 1913, graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1917, and earned a master's degree there in 1918. After teaching mathematics for two years, she returned to graduate study in 1920, and completed her Ph.D. at Minnesota in 1924. Both students were supervised by Dunham Jackson; Carlson's dissertation, in functional analysis, was On The Convergence of Certain Methods of Closest Approximation.
Career and contributions
She joined the Minnesota faculty, and remained there until her retirement in 1965 as a full professor.
She has no record of supervising doctoral dissertations,
and published little research after the work of her own dissertation.
However, she supervised several master's students,
and was described as a mentor by Margaret P. Martin, who completed her Ph.D. at Minnesota in 1944.
Recognition
Carlson won a Distinguished Teacher Award at Minnesota.
After her 2000 death, the library of the University of Minnesota memorialized her in an exhibit, titled "Elizabeth Carlson, notable alumna".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth%20Rice%20Puffer | Ruth Rice Puffer (August 31, 1907 – September 2, 2002) was an American biostatistician who headed the Department of Health Statistics of the Pan American Health Organization, where she led the Inter-American Investigation of Childhood Mortality.
Life
Puffer was born in Berlin, Massachusetts, and went to Hudson High School (Massachusetts).
She graduated from Smith College in 1929, began working with Edgar Bright Wilson in the Harvard School of Public Health, and in 1933 moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to become director of statistics in the Tennessee Department of Public Health.
After additional graduate study with Wade Hampton Frost at Johns Hopkins University, she returned to Harvard and obtained a doctorate in public health (unusually, without also having completed an M.D.) in 1943. She published her dissertation research on tuberculosis as a book through the Harvard University Press.
After completing her doctorate, Puffer returned to Tennessee, but her interest in international health statistics was sparked by a 1946 lecture tour in Chile, and a return visit there in 1950.
From 1953 to 1970, she worked with the Pan American Health Organization. Since that time, she continued to work as a consultant, including trips to India, Thailand, and Indonesia.
She moved to Corvallis, Oregon in 1982, and to McMinnville, Oregon, where she died, in 1991.
Recognition
Puffer was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 1966.
In 1970, Smith College gave her an honorary doctorate, and in 1977, the Tennessee Department of Public Health gave her their Centennial Award for outstanding service. In 1978, she won the Abraham Horwitz Award for Inter-American Health.
In 2002 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Pan American Health Organization, the organization listed her as one of 100 "public health heroes".
Books
Puffer was the author of:
Familial Susceptibility to Tuberculosis: Its Importance as a Public Health Problem (Harvard University Press, 1944)
Practical Statistics in Health and Medical Work (McGraw-Hill, 1950)
Patterns of Urban Mortality (with G. Wynne Griffith, Pan American Health Organization, 1967)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie%20Charpentier | Jeanne Radegonde Marie Charpentier (30 October 1903 – 9 October 1994) was a French mathematician. She was the first woman to obtain a doctorate in pure mathematics in France, and the second woman, after Marie-Louise Dubreil-Jacotin, to obtain a faculty position in mathematics at a university in France.
Charpentier was born in Poitiers, the daughter of Michel Marie Eugène Charpentier and Marie Thérèse Geneviève Rondelet, on either 29 or 30 October 1903.
Education
Charpentier joined the Société mathématique de France in 1930, possibly their second female member after Édmée Chandon.
She was a student of Georges Bouligand at the University of Poitiers, where she completed her thesis in 1931 with Paul Montel as chair. Her dissertation was Sur les points de Peano d'une equation différentielle du premier order [On the Peano points of a first-order differential equation].
Career
Charpentier did postdoctoral studies with George Birkhoff at Harvard University,
and was an invited speaker on geometry at the 1932 International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich.
However, she could not obtain a faculty position in France at that time, and instead had to support herself as a teacher at the high school level.
She was appointed to her faculty position in 1942, at the University of Rennes, became full professor there, and retired in 1973.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%20Denver%20Broncos%20season | The 2018 Denver Broncos season was the franchise's 49th season in the National Football League and their 59th overall.
After poor offensive statistics that resulted in a 5–11 record during the previous season, the Broncos hoped for improvement at the quarterback position, with the offseason signing of Case Keenum as well as the breakthrough of undrafted rookie running back Phillip Lindsay. Another rookie that made an impact was linebacker Bradley Chubb, who recorded 12 sacks following a slow start. However, for a third consecutive season, the Broncos scored 30 or more points only once, and midway through the season, longtime wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was traded to the Houston Texans.
Following a 3–6 start, the Broncos put together a three-game winning streak, with hopes of turning their season around and competing for a playoff spot. However, key late-season injuries to cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (fractured fibula) and wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ruptured Achilles tendon) derailed those hopes, sending the Broncos to a season-ending four-game losing streak and a 6–10 record – only a one-win improvement from 2017.
For the first time since 2010, the Broncos did not play the New England Patriots during the regular season.
The Broncos missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season, suffered back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1971–1972 and back-to-back double-digit losses for the first time since 1966–1967, resulting in the firing of head coach Vance Joseph at the end of the season. Joseph posted an 11–21 record in his two seasons as the Broncos' head coach. This was the third consecutive season with one game involving the Broncos getting at least 30 points.
This was also the 35th and final season under the ownership of Pat Bowlen, who died on June 13, 2019.
Coaching changes
January 1: One day after the 2017 regular season finale, the Broncos parted ways with six coaching assistants, firing special teams coordinator Brock Olivo, running backs/assistant head coach Eric Studesville, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, outside linebackers coach Fred Pagac, defensive backs coach Johnnie Lynn and offensive line coach Jeff Davidson. Bill Musgrave, who was promoted to offensive coordinator midway through the 2017 season, shed the interim tag, and remained as the full-time offensive coordinator.
January 3: Sean Kugler was hired as the new offensive line coach, replacing Jeff Davidson. Kugler, who will focus on the guards and centers, was the head coach at the University of Texas at El Paso from 2013 to 2017, and has previously served as an offensive line coach for the Detroit Lions (2004–2005), Buffalo Bills (2007–2009) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2010–2012).
January 4: Mike Sullivan was hired as the new quarterbacks coach, while Curtis Modkins was hired as running backs coach. Sullivan was the New York Giants' quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator during the previous three seasons (2015–2017), while Modkins served a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acylindrically%20hyperbolic%20group | In the mathematical subject of geometric group theory, an acylindrically hyperbolic group is a group admitting a non-elementary 'acylindrical' isometric action on some geodesic hyperbolic metric space. This notion generalizes the notions of a hyperbolic group and of a relatively hyperbolic group and includes a significantly wider class of examples, such as mapping class groups and Out(Fn).
Formal definition
Acylindrical action
Let G be a group with an isometric action on some geodesic hyperbolic metric space X. This action is called acylindrical if for every there exist such that for every with one has
If the above property holds for a specific , the action of G on X is called R-acylindrical. The notion of acylindricity provides a suitable substitute for being a proper action in the more general context where non-proper actions are allowed.
An acylindrical isometric action of a group G on a geodesic hyperbolic metric space X is non-elementary if G admits two independent hyperbolic isometries of X, that is, two loxodromic elements such that their fixed point sets and are disjoint.
It is known (Theorem 1.1 in ) that an acylindrical action of a group G on a geodesic hyperbolic metric space X is non-elementary if and only if this action has unbounded orbits in X and the group G is not a finite extension of a cyclic group generated by loxodromic isometry of X.
Acylindrically hyperbolic group
A group G is called acylindrically hyperbolic if G admits a non-elementary acylindrical isometric action on some geodesic hyperbolic metric space X.
Equivalent characterizations
It is known (Theorem 1.2 in ) that for a group G the following conditions are equivalent:
The group G is acylindrically hyperbolic.
There exists a (possibly infinite) generating set S for G, such that the Cayley graph is hyperbolic, and the natural translation action of G on is a non-elementary acylindrical action.
The group G is not virtually cyclic, and there exists an isometric action of G on a geodesic hyperbolic metric space X such that at least one element of G acts on X with the WPD ('Weakly Properly Discontinuous') property.
The group G contains a proper infinite 'hyperbolically embedded' subgroup.
History
Properties
Every acylindrically hyperbolic group G is SQ-universal, that is, every countable group embeds as a subgroup in some quotient group of G.
The class of acylindrically hyperbolic groups is closed under taking infinite normal subgroups, and, more generally, under taking 's-normal' subgroups. Here a subgroup is called s-normal in if for every one has .
If G is an acylindrically hyperbolic group and or with then the bounded cohomology is infinite-dimensional.
Every acylindrically hyperbolic group G admits a unique maximal normal finite subgroup denoted K(G).
If G is an acylindrically hyperbolic group with K(G)={1} then G has infinite conjugacy classes of nontrivial elements, G is not inner amenable, and the reduced C*-algebra of G is simp |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giulio%20Bisconcini | Giulio Ugo Bisconcini (2 March 1880, Padua – 1969) was an Italian mathematician, known for his work on the three-body problem.
Education and career
Biscocini received his laurea in mathematics in 1901 at the University of Padua. In 1906 he was appointed an academic assistant in analytic and projective geometry at the University of Rome. He was also a professor ordinarius at the commercial institute "Luigi di Savoia - Duca degli Abruzzi" in Rome. At the University of Rome he became a libero docente (lecturer) on rational mechanics, i.e. classical mechanics as a mathematical system based on axioms. At the beginning of his career he did research on number theory, but he soon began to specialize in rational mechanics. His research dealt with the classification of the types of holonomic systems and the three-body problem.
Bisconcini was one of the professors conducting the Università clandestina di Roma (1941–1943), which was organized by Guido Castelnuovo to teach secret university courses to Jews and disfavored opponents of fascism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvonne%20Bishop | Yvonne Millicent Mahala Bishop (died May 26, 2015) was an English-born statistician who spent her working life in America. She wrote a "classic" book on multivariate statistics, and made important studies of the health effects of anesthetics and air pollution. Later in her career, she became the Director of the Office of Statistical Standards in the Energy Information Administration.
Education
Bishop completed her Ph.D. at Harvard University in 1967; her dissertation was Multi-Dimensional Contingency Tables: Cell Estimates.
As a student, she also made significant contributions to a national study of the side-effects of halothane anesthetics,
and temporarily moved to Stanford University to take part in the study.
Writing of her during this period, Frederick Mosteller says that she already had significant experience in biology. She had worked in the fishing and fishery industry, but moved to health and medicine after experiencing too much discrimination as a woman in the fisheries. Mosteller writes that she had "a remarkable ability to get things done", and that she wrote several chapters of the halothane report.
Career
After completing her doctorate, Bishop worked for the Children's Cancer Research Foundation, and as a faculty member in the biostatistics department of the Harvard School of Public Health.
At Harvard, she became one of the lead researchers of the Harvard Six Cities study,
an influential work on the effects of air pollution on public health.
In 1975, she was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.
By 1982 Bishop had moved to Washington, D.C., where she was listed as deputy assistant director for energy data operations at the United States Department of Energy.
In 1996 she was listed as Director of the Office of Statistical Standards in the Energy Information Administration.
Book
With Stephen Fienberg and Paul W. Holland, Bishop became the author of a book on multivariate statistics, Discrete Multivariate Analysis: Theory and Practice (MIT Press, 1975; Springer, 2007).
By 1980 the book had already become regarded as a "classic" in the field.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category%20of%20representations | In representation theory, the category of representations of some algebraic structure has the representations of as objects and equivariant maps as morphisms between them. One of the basic thrusts of representation theory is to understand the conditions under which this category is semisimple; i.e., whether an object decomposes into simple objects (see Maschke's theorem for the case of finite groups).
The Tannakian formalism gives conditions under which a group G may be recovered from the category of representations of it together with the forgetful functor to the category of vector spaces.
The Grothendieck ring of the category of finite-dimensional representations of a group G is called the representation ring of G.
Definitions
Depending on the types of the representations one wants to consider, it is typical to use slightly different definitions.
For a finite group and a field , the category of representations of over has
objects: pairs (, ) of vector spaces over and representations of on that vector space
morphisms: equivariant maps
composition: the composition of equivariant maps
identities: the identity function (which is an equivariant map).
The category is denoted by or .
For a Lie group, one typically requires the representations to be smooth or admissible. For the case of a Lie algebra, see Lie algebra representation. See also: category O.
The category of modules over the group ring
There is an isomorphism of categories between the category of representations of a group over a field (described above) and the category of modules over the group ring [], denoted []-Mod.
Category-theoretic definition
Every group can be viewed as a category with a single object, where morphisms in this category are the elements of and composition is given by the group operation; so is the automorphism group of the unique object. Given an arbitrary category , a representation of in is a functor from to . Such a functor sends the unique object to an object say in and induces a group homomorphism ; see Automorphism group#In category theory for more. For example, a -set is equivalent to a functor from to Set, the category of sets, and a linear representation is equivalent to a functor to Vect, the category of vector spaces over a field .
In this setting, the category of linear representations of over is the functor category → Vect, which has natural transformations as its morphisms.
Properties
The category of linear representations of a group has a monoidal structure given by the tensor product of representations, which is an important ingredient in Tannaka-Krein duality (see below).
Maschke's theorem states that when the characteristic of doesn't divide the order of , the category of representations of over is semisimple.
Restriction and induction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodoros%20Varopoulos | Theodoros Varopoulos (Θεόδωρος Βαρόπουλος; 30 January 1884 in Astakos – 14 June 1957 in Thessaloniki) was a Greek mathematician, and a mathematics professor at the University of Athens (1929–1931) and at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1931–1957).
Education and career
Theodoros A. Varopoulos, the son of a poor family, was born three days before the death of his father. The financial support of the family was undertaken by his brother Nikolaos Tzanio, who was a teacher. Theodoros completed his primary education at Zervada and his secondary education in Lefkada.
Despite the financial problems of his family, he left his home territory to study in Athens where he passed an exam at the Military Academy of Flight. However, due to his inability to pay the required registration fee, he enrolled in 1914 in the Mathematical Department of the University of Athens. To earn income in the evenings he worked on the Athens Telegraph. He also worked as a clerk at the University of Athens. Among his professors at the University of Athens were Kyparissos Stefanos, Georgios Remoundos, and Nikolaos Hatzidakis. He graduated with honors in 1918, and in 1919 he was awarded a doctorate in mathematics.
In 1920, after receiving a scholarship from Emmanouíl Benákis, he was sent to Paris to continue his studies. There, by perfecting the theorems of Georgios Remoundos, he began to send scientific papers to the French Academy of Sciences. These works contributed to the decision of University of Paris to give him the possibility of obtaining a doctoral degree on the basis of his dissertation alone, without taking examinations. Eventually, he received a doctorate in 1923, and remained in the school through 1925. At the same time, he continued to publish scientific papers in journals as well as in conferences. He was also very much appreciated by other French mathematicians of the time and, after his return to Greece, he continued to travel yearly to Paris until the start of World War II.
On his return in 1925 from Paris to Greece he worked first as a secondary school teacher at Athens College. In 1927, he was appointed professor of mathematics at the Secondary School of Teaching and in 1929 he was appointed as a professor extraordinarius in higher mathematical analysis at the University of Athens. In 1931 he was appointed professor ordinarius of mathematics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where he served until his death on 1957 after a long-term illness.
Varopoulos was an invited speaker at the ICM in 1920 in Strasbourg and in 1924 in Toronto. He was a member of the editorial board of the French journal Bulletin de Sciences Mathématiques between September 1927 and October 1928. He also served as an editor for the journal of the Hellenic Mathematical Society. He had a close collaboration with Professor Panagiotis Zervos.
Personal life
In his free time Varopoulos read poetry, particularly French poetry, and especially the poems of Paul Verlaine. He w |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy%20Flournoy | Nancy Flournoy (born May 4, 1947) is an American statistician. Her research in statistics concerns the design of experiments, and particularly the design of adaptive clinical trials; she is also known for her work on applications of statistics to bone marrow transplantation, and in particular on the graft-versus-tumor effect. She is Curators' Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the University of Missouri.
Education and career
Flournoy is originally from Long Beach, California, the daughter of a plumber and a preschool teacher. She was educated at the Polytechnic School,
and then did her undergraduate studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, earning a bachelor's degree in 1969. She became interested in statistics in her junior year there after taking a course from Don Ylvisaker;
she tried to change majors from nutrition to mathematics but was prevented from doing so because a marriage and a change of names had snarled her paperwork.
Instead, she ended up majoring in biostatistics.
Working as a statistician at Regional Medical Programs, her superiors were concerned when her presentations gained attention because "she did not look the part". Then they hired a man to present for her. Objecting when asked to do trivial calculations, she was fired for being an "uppity" woman.
She returned to UCLA, with Olive Jean Dunn as a mentor, and went on to complete a master's degree in biostatistics in 1971.
Flournoy learned about experimental design in her next job, in educational psychology at the Southwest Education and Laboratory for Research, and by reading Walter Federer's book Experimental Design: Theory and Application, which she imported from India in order to keep up with the experimental psychologists.
She joined the pioneering bone marrow transplant team in 1973, under E. Donnall Thomas, and became founding Director of Clinical Statistics at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in 1975. At that time, patient records were stored on punched cards, and Flournoy writes of sorting data sets manually at the laundromat while doing laundry.
The center hired Leonard Hearne to create a shared clinical database before the term "database" existed, and Flournoy married him in 1978. Her work in this time on the graft-versus-tumor effect become "the first major application of the proportional hazards model with time-dependent covariates".
In 1982, Flournoy completed a doctorate in biomathematics at the University of Washington. Her dissertation, supervised by Lloyd Delbert Fisher, Jr., was The Failure-Censoring Bichain and the Relative Efficiency of Selected Partial Likelihoods in the Presence of Coprocesses.
On the recommendation of Ingram Olkin, she joined the National Science Foundation as the first female director of statistics in 1986.
She made a point of attending talks by young women and encouraging them to apply for grants; by doing so she increased the rate of applications by women from its previous lower value to matc |
