Interest in modeling contemporary crime trends, a task that has historically been considered valuable to the public, researchers, and policymakers, is resurging. Advancements in criminology have made it clear that understanding crime trends necessarily involves understanding trends in how likely individuals are to report crimes to the police, as well as how likely the police are to accurately record those crimes. In this paper, we use dynamic linear models to simultaneously model the time series for several crime types in order to gain insight into trends in crime and crime reporting. We analyze crime data from Chicago spanning 2007 through 2016 and show how correlations in the way crime trends evolve may contain information about drivers of crime and crime reporting. We provide evidence of substantial differences in the relationships between the trends of crimes of different types depending on whether crimes are violent or nonviolent and whether or not crimes are tracked in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article features electrical engineering hall of fame member, Albert H. Taylor. He was born on January 1, 1879 in Chicago, Illinois and graduated with a degree in physics from Northwestern University in 1902. His first researcg was on radio communication while he was still an undergraduate. He received a PhD degree from the University of Göttingen in Germany in 1909 for his thesis on alimunim rectifiers. He also became a communications offier in charge of a network of low-frequency, high power statuibs situated along the East coast.

The article presents a discussion on radiation chemistry. It also cites a brief history of radiation chemistry which started in 1942 when a group of physicists met in Chicago, Illinois to outline a chemical attack on atomic energy. Radiation chemistry or photo-chemistry is a highly essential phase of atomic energy development. It also cites the studies conducted on the effects of high-energy radiation which resulted in the finding that chemical elements alone were chemically insensitive. It also presents the new types of radiation and examines the effects of high-energy radiation on biological materials.

The article discusses the report on a low-cost laboratory for general education physical science, which was presented at the meeting of Section Q of the American Association for the Advancement of Science held December 30, 1961 in Denver, Colorado. It reports on the problem at Roosevelt University to provide laboratory experience in science to prospective elementary school teachers and some other liberal arts students. The article details the development of a low-cost laboratory that is an extension of the lecture-discussion period and does not require student assistants.

The article discusses the objectives of the general education physical science course at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois. The goals of the course are to learn some important theories and facts in the physical sciences, to know the nature of science and to become introduced to the inter- as well as intra-relationships of science. On one hand, another of the 10 characteristics or procedures of science highlighted in the first semester of physical science is the logical structure of a theory. On the other, the second semester highlights 10 characteristics and procedures of science such as the material on matter and energy, the Archimedes' principle, Pascal's principle and Bernoulli's principle are discussed.
