description: In this paper, we compare predictive models for students' final performance in a blended course using a set of generic features collected from the first six weeks of class. These features were extracted from students' online homework submission logs as well as other online actions. We compare the effectiveness of 5 different ML algorithms (SVMs, Support Vector Regression, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes and K-Nearest Neighbor). We found that SVMs outperform other models and improve when compared to the baseline. This study demonstrates feasible implementations for predictive models that rely on common data from blended courses that can be used to monitor students' progress and to tailor instruction.

description: A comparative study of thawing and tracking models of dark energy is carried out with the help of a dynamical systems analysis. It is found that both of them have stable solutions which are consistent with the requirement of a dark energy. So none of them is actually favored from the consideration of stability. The trackers have the interesting possibility that the present acceleration is a transient phenomenon.

description: An attempt to extract critical exponents gamma, beta and tau from data on gold nuclei fragmentation due to interactions with nuclear emulsion at energies 4.0 A GeV and 10.6 A GeV is presented. Based on analysis of Campi's 2nd charge moments, two subsets of data at each energy are selected from the inclusive data, corresponding to 'liquid' and 'gas' phases. The extracted values of critical exponents from the selected data sets are in agreement with predictions of 'liquid-gas' model of phase transition.

Terrorism--Prevention

description: This paper will investigate the use of drone strikes by the United States government in its ongoing counterterrorism efforts in the Middle East as part of the War on Terror. It will focus on the use of drones during the Obama administration and investigate the ways in which the program violates both international human rights law and international humanitarian law. It will then argue that the United States government’s drone program constitutes a form of collective punishment as outlined and prohibited in Geneva Convention IV. In arguing that the drone program constitutes a form of collective punishment, the paper hopes to emphasize the gravity of violations of international law that the United States is committing. It will examine why the United States has been allowed to continue violating international law with little repercussions, focusing on the lack of transparency and refusal to disclose information regarding its counterterrorist operation. Finally, it will provide suggestions as to how the international community can work towards holding the United States accountable to international law in order to maintain the credibility of international law and ensure that the basic human rights of all individuals are protected and upheld.

 3 Meimunaduffelsi: dédiéeàuncollèguenéerlandaispourcommémorersondépartàlaretraite. Par ailleurs, j’ai retenu Mae Kam Pong, village proche du site de découverte comme localité originelle.
 Au cours de la première quinzaine d'avril 2006, en revisitant le locus typicus de l'espèce, notre surprise fut immense de voir nombre d'individus installés posément sur les plagettes et bancs de sable du Huai Maekampong. Grâce à un zoom puissant, nous avons pu observer et photographier ces scènes singulières: les cigales étaient toutes occupées à s'abreuver, calmement, le rostre fiché dans le sable humide (celui-ci parfois plus ou moins limoneux). Comme pour ajouter à cette scène incongrue, elles émettaient régulière-
ment des jets d'urine grisâtre, que nous avons pu filmer. Certaines se trouvaient si près du cours d'eau, que parfois des vaguelettes touchaient leurs ailes ou l’extrémité abdominale, sans les déranger.
 Lors de nos essais de captures, la plupart des M. duffelsi s'échappèrent d'un vol rapide. Quelque deux heures plus tard, les gros insectes étaient revenus « se ravitailler », apparemment aussi nombreux: l'éthologie psammophile et hydrotrophe n'est donc pas anecdotique chez cette espèce, mais une règle dans sa biologie. Bien des questions restentposées: le rostrefiché dans le sable, les stylets ne ponctionnent-ils pas aussi les micro alguesdecemilieu? L’observation de la couleur des mictions permet de supposer que l'eau absorbée n'est certainementpas pure... Autre constattoutaussiénigmatique: les cigales observées s’avèrent, sans exception, être toutes des mâles! De petits groupes de buveurs semblaient particulièrement concentrés parendroits  4 : lesable yétait-ilplus attractif, plus riche en eau minérale, en algules, ou chargée davantagedesouilluresdiluées?

description: We provide a theoretical framework to analyze the properties of frontal collisions of two growing interfaces considering different short range interactions between them. Due to their roughness, the collision events spread in time and form rough domain boundaries, which defines collision interfaces in time and space. We show that statistical properties of such interfaces depend on the kinetics of the growing interfaces before collision, but are independent of the details of their interaction and of their fluctuations during the collision. Those properties exhibit dynamic scaling with exponents related to the growth kinetics, but their distributions may be non-universal. These results are supported by simulations of lattice models with irreversible dynamics and local interactions. Relations to first passage processes are discussed and a possible application to grain boundary formation in two-dimensional materials is suggested.

description: Unlike the ordinary supernovae (SNe) some of which are hydrogen and helium deficient (called Type Ic SNe), broad-lined Type Ic SNe (SNe Ic-bl) are very energetic events, and all SNe coincident with bona fide long duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are of Type Ic-bl. Understanding the progenitors and the mechanism driving SN Ic-bl explosions vs those of their SNe Ic cousins is key to understanding the SN-GRB relationship and jet production in massive stars. Here we present the largest set of host-galaxy spectra of 28 SNe Ic and 14 SN Ic-bl, all discovered before 2013 by the same untargeted survey, namely the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). We carefully measure their gas-phase metallicities, stellar masses (M*s) and star-formation rates (SFRs) by taking into account recent progress in the metallicity field and propagating uncertainties correctly. We further re-analyze the hosts of 10 literature SN-GRBs using the same methods and compare them to our PTF SN hosts with the goal of constraining their progenitors from their local environments by conducting a thorough statistical comparison, including upper limits. We find that the metallicities, SFRs and M*s of our PTF SN Ic-bl hosts are statistically comparable to those of SN-GRBs, but significantly lower than those of the PTF SNe Ic. The mass-metallicity relations as defined by the SNe Ic-bl and SN-GRBs are not significantly different from the same relations as defined by the SDSS galaxies, in contrast to claims by earlier works. Our findings point towards low metallicity as a crucial ingredient for SN Ic-bl and SN-GRB production since we are able to break the degeneracy between high SFR and low metallicity. We suggest that the PTF SNe Ic-bl may have produced jets that were choked inside the star or were able break out of the star as unseen low-luminosity or off-axis GRBs.

description: The halo of the Milky Way has long been hypothesized to harbour significant amounts of merger debris. This view has been supported over more than a decade by wide-field photometric surveys which have revealed the outer halo to be lumpy. The recent release of Gaia DR2 is allowing us to establish that mergers also have been important and possibly built up the majority of the inner halo. In this work we focus on the Helmi streams, a group of streams crossing the Solar vicinity and known for almost two decades. We characterize their properties and relevance for the build-up of the Milky Way's halo. We identify new members of the Helmi streams in an unprecedented dataset with full phase-space information combining Gaia DR2, and the APOGEE DR2, RAVE DR5 and LAMOST DR4 spectroscopic surveys. Based on the orbital properties of the stars, we find new stream members up to a distance of 5 kpc from the Sun, which we characterize using photometry and metallicity information. We also perform N-body experiments to constrain the time of accretion and properties of the progenitor of the streams. We find nearly 600 new members of the Helmi streams. Their HR diagram reveals a broad age range, from approximately 11 to 13 Gyr, while their metallicity distribution goes from $\sim$ 2.3 to $\sim$1.0, and peaks at [Fe/H] $\sim$1.5. These findings confirm that the streams originate in a dwarf galaxy. Furthermore, we find 7 globular clusters to be likely associated, and which follow a well-defined age-metallicity sequence whose properties suggest a relatively massive progenitor object. Our N-body simulations favour a system with a stellar mass of $\sim 10^8\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$ accreted $5 - 8$ Gyr ago. The debris from the Helmi streams is an important donor to the MilkyWay halo, contributing approximately 15\% of its mass in field stars and 10\% of its globular clusters.

description: What do religions do and how do they do it? In The Elementary Forms of Religious Life, Émile Durkheim claims that religions are “grounded in and express the real” and center upon a set of ritualized practices that enact and embody in a distinctively intense and potentially transformative form the truth regarding the constitutive relations in which we stand to one another. With the help of Heidegger’s account in “The Origin of the Work of Art” of the way in which works of art work, along with Kierkegaard’s relational account of the health and sickness of the self in The Sickness Unto Death, I attempt in this dissertation to develop an improved version of the basic Durkheimian picture. The central claim is that religious practices are in the game of cultivating and actively integrating the fundamental relationships upon which our being as persons in a most radical and literal sense depends. Where successful, the heightened modes of relationality enacted in such practices transform us into more active, vital, and unalienated agents capable of tackling the concrete normative situations in which we lead our lives. For these reasons, I argue that religious practices aren’t going and shouldn’t go anywhere. If anything, we have grounds for leaning into them more if we hope to develop the existential resources to tackle the various forms of relational breakdown that constitute the true ground of the problem of “disenchantment” and with which our alienated, lonely, and unjust world is saturated.

Tristan Garcia

description: Verglichen werden Teile des Denksystems von Bloch, das sich maßgeblich in seinem Hauptwerk Das Prinzip Hoffnung entwickelt hat, mit Tristan Garcias Das intensive Leben. Folgende Passage aus Garcias Werk kann als einführende und anschauliche Hilfestellung dienen: „Während die Moderne eine Rationalisierung der Kenntnisse, Produktionen und Tauschbeziehungen, die Mathematisierung des Realen, die Herstellung einer gleichwertigen Ebene zwischen allen auf einem Markt tauschbaren Dinge bedeutet, bezeichnet die Intensität nun, gleichsam zum Ausgleich, den höchsten ethischen Wert dessen, was dieser Rationalisierung widersteht: Intensität ist nicht eigentlich irrational, aber sie lässt sich nicht auf diese Figuren der Rationalität reduzieren, wie es Objektivität, Identifikation, Teilung in Raum, Zahl und Quantität sind. Nach und nach wurde die Intensität zum Fetisch der Subjektivität, der Differenz, des Kontinuierlichen, des Unzählbaren und der reinen Qualität.“
 Da Garcias sehr junges Werk noch kaum kritischen Widerhall in der wissenschaftlichen Sekundärliteratur gefunden hat, soll Das intensive Leben als Definitionsschablone dienen, an der die Charakterisierung des Individuums und der Gesellschaft nach Bloch auch mithilfe von Publikationen unterschiedlicher Bloch-Kenner von Alfred Schmidt bis Hans Heinz Holz abgeglichen werden kann. Die Arbeit zielt darauf ab, an den von Garcia gelieferten philosophisch-definitorischen Kategorien formell zu messen, ob die Seinsweise des Menschen nach Bloch dem von Garcia entworfenen intensiven Menschen entspricht, also: Ob Blochs Philosophie eigentlich eine moderne Ethik der Intensität ist, die Garcia unserer Gesellschaft attestiert. Interessant ist dies, da – wie diese Arbeit auch herausstellen wird – das intensive Ideal aufgrund seiner paradoxen Natur erhebliche Schwierigkeiten birgt.

description: The detonation of a helium shell on a white dwarf has been proposed as a possible explosion triggering mechanism for Type Ia supernovae. Here, we report ZTF 18aaqeasu (SN 2018byg/ATLAS 18pqq), a peculiar Type I supernova, consistent with being a helium-shell double-detonation. With a rise time of $\approx 18$ days from explosion, the transient reached a peak absolute magnitude of $M_R \approx -18.2$ mag, exhibiting a light curve akin to sub-luminous SN 1991bg-like Type Ia supernovae, albeit with an unusually steep increase in brightness within a week from explosion. Spectra taken near peak light exhibit prominent Si absorption features together with an unusually red color ($g-r \approx 2$ mag) arising from nearly complete line blanketing of flux blue-wards of 5000 Å. This behavior is unlike any previously observed thermonuclear transient. Nebular phase spectra taken at and after $\approx 30$ days from peak light reveal evidence of a thermonuclear detonation event dominated by Fe-group nucleosynthesis. We show that the peculiar properties of ZTF 18aaqeasu are consistent with the detonation of a massive ($\approx 0.15$ M$_\odot$) helium shell on a sub-Chandrasekhar mass ($\approx 0.75$ M$_\odot$) white dwarf after including mixing of $\approx 0.2$ M$_\odot$ of material in the outer ejecta. These observations provide evidence of a likely rare class of thermonuclear supernovae arising from detonations of massive helium shells.

description: This research study explores how prostitution laws correspond with the discourse surrounding sex work by applying the terminology of the academic dispute and legal framing on the way it is socially discussed. The examination of the public discourse was conducted by analyzing the narratives and portrayals of prostitution as they appear in the news media in three cities, each of which is subjected to a different legal regime: New York (criminalization of prostitution), Tel Aviv (decriminalization of the sexual transaction), and Vancouver (criminalization of the purchase). The results of this research indicated that different legal approaches, and their degree of regulation, may influence the extent and sense of urgency demonstrated in the public discourse. However, highly limited congruence was identified between the notions that underlie two of the three examined cities. Consequently, this research recommends further investigation on the effect of prostitution laws on the applicable society in order to provide a deeper and broader groundwork for addressing the complexities and needs of this phenomenon.

description: Lunar impact flashes have been monitored over the last 20 years for determining the mass frequency distribution of near-Earth objects in the cm-dm size range. In this work, using telescopic observations in R and I band from the NELIOTA database, impact flash temperatures are derived. They are found to range between approximately 1,300 and 5,800 K. In addition, it is also found that temperature values appear to have a distribution significantly broader than a Gaussian function, therefore making it difficult to estimate the impact flash luminous energy by assigning an average temperature. By measuring the flash temperatures and assuming a black body emission, here we derive the energy of the impacts. We also study the potential link of each event to individual meteoroid streams, which allows us to assign an impact velocity and therefore constrain the projectile mass. Impactor masses are found to range between a few to hundreds of grams, while their sizes are just of few centimetres following a size frequency distribution similar to other studies.

In the course of the following 15 years, they were involved in over 200 court actions together. The material documenting these actions is the focus of our project. Even though the material’s volume (approx. 8000 pages) is a challenge in itself, the most demanding aspect of these documents is their heterogeneity: typescripts, manuscripts, pre-printed forms, carbon copies, and receipts are only some examples of material types we are working with. In addition to the diverse materialities, the heterogeneous functions of the materials (statements, summons, verdicts, correspondences, etc.) pose a challenge as the exact functions of document types have to be understood before the document’s qualities can be encoded. In this paper, we will focus on the document characteristics that are not per se inherent in the text these documents carry, i.e. the documents’ functions in relation to real-world processes such as court actions and daily procedures in a lawyer’s office. As suggested by Hannesschläger and Andorfer (2019: 8), “the Text Encoding Initiative’s guidelines, while the unquestionably best approach for encoding text inherent phenomena, reach their limits when used for encoding ‘real world phenomena’ related to text genesis”. One of the approaches to tackle this problem is to develop a taxonomy in SKOS format to model these processes, i.e. a reusable, TEI-external classification scheme of text types that include different types of juridical documents, court actions, and the procedures in a lawyer’s office. In this paper, we will introduce the project, explain our approach and describe the integration of our SKOS taxonomy into the TEI documents containing the texts of our edition by making use of the versatile @ana attribute and the possibilities to include external metadata within the  element.

description: Marijuana is one of the most commonly abused substances among adolescents. Its use has led to addiction, poor concentration and poor performance in schools, thefts, organized crime, violence, mental illnesses, injuries, infections, and behavioral disorders. Aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, perception, and peculiarities of marijuana use among adolescents attending secondary schools in Sagamu, South-West Nigeria. A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used. 388 respondents were selected by a multi-stage sampling technique. A validated, semi-structured questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.72 was used to collect data. Statistical analysis of the prevalence was based on frequency and percentage, expressed in tables and figures. A 4-point Likert scale was used to collect information on the students’ perception. Logistic regression analysis of SPSS version 23 was used to assess the correlation between marijuana use and its prevalence. The mean age of respondents was 15.46±1.37years. Over half (56.2%) of the respondents were female, 74.5% were Christians, 84.0% were Yoruba, and 28.4% were in senior class one (grade 10). 4.6% of the respondents had an illiterate dad and 3.9% had an illiterate mum. A majority of the respondents’ fathers (70.6%) and mothers (78.1%) were self-employed. Among the respondents, the prevalence of marijuana use was 7.2%. Perception of marijuana use was high as the items in the perception analysis fell within the Likert scale interval of strongly agree and agree. There was no significant association between the students’ perception and marijuana use (R=-0.051; p=0.31). With no significant association between high perception and marijuana use, the respondents’ marijuana use was not influenced by their perception but by a particular aim - exam success which is very peculiar. Counselors and social workers should be engaged and strengthened in secondary schools to help promote abstinence from marijuana use.

description: To make clear several issues relating with the thermodynamics of computations, we perform a simulation of a binary device using a Langevin equation. Based on our numerical results, we consider how to estimate thermodynamic entropy of computational devices. We then argue against the existence of the so-called residual entropy in frozen systems such as ice.

“Our World-Work”: Gender and Labor in African Diasporic Literatures

description: In the 1928 romance novel, Dark Princess, W. E. B. Du Bois used the form of a love letter to ask "the first question of our world-work: What are you and I trying to do in this world?" Structured around this vexed notion of "world-work," "'Our World-Work': Gender and Labor in African Diasporic Literatures" takes seriously this communal question of what “you and I”—or we—are "trying to do." I extend Du Bois’s idea to locate the boundaries of the "we" in the face of variations in labor and gender. Thinking world and work together, I consider the grounds of collective narration and social organization on a broad scale, one structured by gender even as anti-sexism is evoked, such as in the case of Du Bois, who is often called a feminist by contemporary scholars. "'Our World-Work'" covers a range of twentieth-century writing, focusing on how figures and figurations of the "black woman," often at the site of the domestic, came to embody some of the urgent issues raised by the globalization of capital. Reading multi-genre works by Du Bois, Alice Childress, Ousmane Sembène, Paule Marshall, and others, "'Our World-Work'" explores how black writers and intellectuals were thinking, writing, and critiquing the world—and worlds—through their encounters with labor and gender during the middle of the last century. Attention to gender in this dissertation illuminates how modes of affiliation also contain exclusions. "'Our World-Work'" contributes to scholarship on accounts of worlding, intervening in critical debates around race, gender, and labor in the fields of black, feminist, postcolonial, and comparative literary studies.

description: We show that any $d$-dimensional strictly stationary, asymptotically Minkowskian solution $(d\ge 4)$ of a null reduction of $d+1$-dimensional pure gravity must saturate the BPS bound provided that the KK vector field can be identified appropriately. We also argue that it is consistent with the field equations.

A COMPARATIVE HYDROLOGIC ANALYSIS OF SURFACE MINED AND FORESTED WATERSHEDS IN WESTERN MARYLAND

description: This thesis presents the results of a hydrologic analysis conducted as part of a larger, multi-faceted, collaborative effort to study ecosystem function of a watershed subjected to surface mining and reclamation in the Appalachian Region of the United States. The primary goal of this study was to determine whether a small watershed subjected to surface mine reclamation practices (MAT 1) displayed a stormflow response to rain events that was different from those displayed by a young second-growth forested watershed (NEFl). A secondary goal was to investigate whether intensive surface mining in the Georges Creek basin has altered stormflow response at a larger river basin scale when compared to a similar, but predominantly forested basin (Savage River). At the small watersheds, MATl produced greater a) runoff coefficients (2.5x); b) total runoff (3x); and c) peak runoff rates (2x) compared to NEFl. Total rainfall explained 63% of the variation in total runoff at MAT I compared to only 21 % of the variation in total runoff at NEF I. Regardless of a recent 13% increase in surface mine reclamation in the Georges Creek basin, little difference in stormflow response was observed for 15 storms analyzed across the two larger basins. Georges Creek on average responded 3 hr more quickly than Savage River, However the hydrological response characteristics of the two basins were similar. In addition, hydrological response characteristics for Georges Creek and Savage River remained relatively stable over time. Further research is needed to address inabilities to scale responses observed at the small watersheds.

description: This paper studies the problem of user association, scheduling and channel allocation in dense cellular networks with energy harvesting base stations (EBSs). In this problem, the EBSs are powered solely by renewable energy and each user has a request for downloading data of certain size with a deadline constraint. The objective is to maximize the number of associated and scheduled users while allocating the available channels to the users and respecting the energy and deadline constraints. First, the computational complexity of this problem is characterized by studying its NP-hardness in different cases. Next, efficient algorithms are proposed in each case. The case of a single channel and a single EBS is solved using two polynomial-time optimal algorithms---one for arbitrary deadlines and a less-complex one for common deadlines. The case of a single channel and multiple EBSs is solved by proposing an efficient constant-factor approximation algorithm. The case of multiple channels is efficiently solved using a heuristic algorithm. Finally, our theoretical analysis is supplemented by simulation results to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithms.
