  • Moufang Polygons

    Bernhard M ̈uhlherr, Bernhard Matthias Mühlherr et al.BOOKDescent in buildings2017

    This chapter introduces some basic facts about Moufang polygons and root group sequences. For each root group sequence Ω , there is a unique Moufang polygon Δ such that Ω is isomorphic to a root group sequence of Δ . The classification of Moufang n -gons states that, up to isomorphism, there are no other Moufang polygons. The chapter also considers the notion of an isomorphism of root group sequences and the notion of an anti-isomorphism of root …

  • Descent in Buildings

    Bernhard Mühlherr, Holger P Petersson et al.BOOKDescent in Buildings (AM-190)2015

    Descent in Buildings begins with the resolution of a major open question about the local structure of Bruhat-Tits buildings. The authors then put their algebraic solution into a geometric context by developing a general fixed point theory for groups acting on buildings of arbitrary type, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the residues fixed by a group to form a kind of subbuilding or "form" of the original building. At the center of t…

  • Revisiting Black Medical School Extinctions in the Flexner Era

    Lynn E Miller, Richard M Wei et al.ARTICLEJournal of the History of…2012

    Abraham Flexner's 1910 exposé on medical education recommended that only two of the seven extant medical schools for blacks be preserved and that they should train their students to "serve their people humbly" as "sanitarians." Addressing charges of racism, this article traces the roots of the recommendation that blacks serve a limited professional role to the schools themselves and presents evidence that, in endorsing the continuance of Howard's…

  • The Social Transformation of American Medical Education

    Open AccessRichard M Wei, Richard M Weiss et al.ARTICLESociological Quarterly2010Citada por: 1Referencias: 24

    Applying Weber's theorizing on action and stratification, this study examines whether the early 20th-century extinction of half of the medical schools in the United States resulted from actions intended to serve class, status, and party interests by achieving social closure. Analyses reveal closure intentions in the school ratings assigned by the American Medical Association, although not in the recommendations in the 1910 Carnegie-sponsored Flex…

  • The Structure of Affine Buildings. (AM-168)

    Richard M Wei, Richard M WeissBOOKStructure of Affine Buildings.…2008

    In The Structure of Affine Buildings , Richard Weiss gives a detailed presentation of the complete proof of the classification of Bruhat-Tits buildings first completed by Jacques Tits in 1986. The book includes numerous results about automorphisms, completions, and residues of these buildings. It also includes tables correlating the results in the locally finite case with the results of Tits's classification of absolutely simple algebraic groups …

  • Medical Education Reform Efforts and Failures of U.S. Medical Schools, 1870-1930

    Lynn E Miller, Richard M Wei et al.ARTICLEJournal of the History of…2008

    The dramatic decline in the number of US medical schools in the early twentieth century has been traced to a medical education reform movement that gained momentum after the Civil War. The major parties to reform-the universities themselves, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), state licensing boards, the American Medical Association (AMA), and Flexner-had different interests and strategies, however, and scholars have continued to…

  • Moufang Polygons

    Open AccessJacques Tits, Richard M Wei et al.BOOKMoufang Polygons2002

    This book gives the complete classification of Moufang polygons, starting from first principles. In particular, it may serve as an introduction to the various important algebraic concepts which arise in this classification including alternative division rings, quadratic Jordan division algebras of degree three, pseudo-quadratic forms, BN-pairs and norm splittings of quadratic forms. This book also contains a new proof of the classification of irr…

  • Factor Analytic Study of the Aiken and Hage Measures of Perceived Organizational Structure and Technology

    Open AccessLynn E Miller, Richard M Wei et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1991

    Much work on organizational structure has been based on a set of scales developed by Aiken and Hage to measure centralization, formalization, and technology, yet the scales have been subjected to limited psychometric testing. This paper presents factor analyses of the scales and makes recommendations for their revision and use

  • Boards of Directors in Nonprofit Organizations

    Open AccessLynn E Miller, Richard M Wei et al.ARTICLEJournal of Voluntary Action…1988

    Analyses of survey responses from the executive directors of 184 human service organizations examined the relationships of board characteristics to board activities, and of board activities to organizational outcomes. Results indicated that board characteristics most predictive of board activities were the numbers of board members who were representatives of the client population, who had expertise in marketing, who were trained in the types of s…

  • Managerial Ideology and the Social Control of Deviance in Organizations

    Mary L Fennell, Richard M Wei et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1988

    Weiss examines the disease model of alcoholism and how bureaucratically rigid organizations use it to justify their control of employee behavior. He looks at the relations among control programs encountered by management and their inclination to have an alcoholism program based on this disease model. The results of his research suggest that those companies faced with greater control problems tend to have a more bureaucratic organizational structu…

  • Managerial Prerogative and the Question of Control

    Richard M Wei, Richard M Weiss et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1984

    In both Marxist and non-Marxist scholarship there has been a remarkable neglect of the managerial control of labour. John Storey’s analysis of the modern labour process shows that managerial control is in fact more precarious than has been so far recorded. This book, first published in 1983, reassesses the Braverman theory of the inexorable degradation of work, and demonstrates the need to go beyond not only Braverman but also most of the ensuing…

  • The Work-Leisure Relationship

    Open AccessLynn E Miller, Richard M Wei et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations1982Citada por: 4Referencias: 9

    Research has generally found positive relationships between work and leisure, such that people choose leisure activities involving the same psychological, social, and behavioral skills as their work. The present study argues, however, that negative relationships may also occur, with individuals sometimes compensating for work deficiencies through leisure activities. Evidence is presented showing that individuals with low occupational status are m…
