title: Mending What’s Invisible
Creators: name: Yoon, Chaehee
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: A written thesis to accompany the M.F.A. Exhibition Mending What’s Invisible, in which the artist’s personal experiences and memories explore the cultural identities and femininity in Korea and the US. These identities are explored by using traditional Korean motifs, embroidery patterns, and the visual images of the artist's childhood photographs in the projects of “Reconnecting of Nostalgia” and “Mutating”. Also the visual clips of the artist's hometown is demonstrated in the video project “Things I hated” that discusses criticalities of Korean cultures and a sense of nostalgia for childhood in Korea. The project comes out of a personal need to connect the artists' different identities but also wants to create an awareness of the conflict between different cultural understandings of Korea and the US.

description: We present the results of FLUKA simulations of the propagation of cosmogenic muons in a 20 kton spherical liquid scintillator detector underneath 700 to 900 meters of rock. A showering muon is one which deposits at least 3 GeV in the detector in addition to ionization energy. We find that 20 percent of muons are showering and a further 10 percent of muon events are muon bundles of which more than one muon enters the detector. In this range the showering and bundle fractions are robust against changes in the depth and topography, thus the total shower and bundle rate for a given experiment can be obtained by combining our results with an estimate for the total muon flux. One consequence is that a straightforward adaptation of the full detector showering muon cuts used by KamLAND to JUNO or RENO 50 would yield a nearly vanishing detector efficiency.

title: Exploring the Use of Grid-Scale Compressed Air Energy Storage in the Urban Landscape
Creators: name: Slover, Connor S
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Energy storage is becoming a crucial element to the renewable energy grid, and new facilities will have to go somewhere. This thesis will propose to co-locate compressed air energy storage on a site with residential units, and a community park.
This thesis will make the argument that co-locating a compressed air energy storage system with residential units could create a new start for the communities most harmed by fossil fuel infrastructure. This thesis will propose a design for a site in East Boston; a community badly scarred by heating oil and natural gas storage; with the goal of creating a model for healing both the physical site, and the social injustices created by the fossil fuel grid, arguing for using compressed air energy storage as both a spatial and an economic resource.

description: Multilingualism is a widespread phenomenon in modern societies. A considerable number of people speak more than two languages in their everyday life due to historical, social, or economic reasons (Cenoz & Genesee, 1998). They may live in a multilingual community as a result of colonialism and immigration, or they might be in constant contact with different monolingual communities because of globalization (Kemp, 2009). The continuing growth of individuals and communities that use three or more languages has led many researchers to investigate multilingualism and multilingual acquisition. Of the many key issues within the field of multilingualism, this short piece will focus on multilingual competence from the perspective of proficiency and acquisition goals. Identifying the extent to which an individual should be proficient in each of his or her languages is essential for defining a multilingual and for understanding which goals are attainable in multilingual education.

Insight into the Properties of the UK Power Consumption Using a Linear Regression and Wavelet Transform Approach

description: In this paper, the relationship between the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), air temperature variations and power consumption is evaluated using the linear regression and Wavelet Coherence (WTC) approach on a 1971-2011 time series for the United Kingdom (UK). The results based on the linear regression approach indicate that some 66% variability of the UK electricity demand can be explained by the quarterly GDP variations, while only 11% of the quarterly changes of the UK electricity demand are caused by seasonal air temperature variations. WTC however, can detect the period of time when GDP and air temperature significantly correlate with electricity demand and the results of the wavelet correlation at different time scales indicate that a significant correlation is to be found on a long-term basis for GDP and on an annual basis for seasonal air-temperature variations. This approach provides an insight into the properties of the impact of the main factors on power consumption on the basis of which the power system development or operation planning and forecasting the power consumption can be improved.

description: The rise of multilingualism has drawn the attention of language researchers and instructors to various phenomena that have been observed in multilingual speakers, who develop knowledge on how and when to use their languages depending on, for instance, the interlocutors involved in the conversation, the topic of the conversation, and the social context (Reyes, 2004). The present paper aims to focus on two representative multilingual phenomena, namely code-switching and translanguaging. Each phenomenon will be defined based on existing literature and their potential functions in multilingual classroom research will be highlighted and discussed.

description: In recent decades, the field of applied linguistics has witnessed a growth of interest in the study of multilingualism. A particular subset of studies in multilingualism is that of heritage languages (Montrul, 2010). A heritage language (HL) can be broadly defined as an ancestral language with which one feels a cultural connection (Van Deusen-Scholl, 2003), or more narrowly defined as a home language that a person is exposed to in early childhood before becoming socialized into the host country’s dominant language (Valdés, 2001). The present discussion suggests a direction for future research for HLs. First, the various approaches through which HLs have been studied will be mentioned. Next, Cenoz and Gorter’s (2011) Focus on Multilingualism (FOM) approach will be presented and discussed in relation to its potential contributions to the study HLs.

Then we apply this in the context of the extragalactic shock model, according to which Earth receives an enhanced dose of high-energy cosmic rays when it is at the galactic north. We obtain considerable reduction in the photosynthesis rates, consistent with potential drops in biodiversity.

description: The number of multilingual speakers now outnumbers that of monolinguals (Tucker, 1998). In a figure provided by the Linguistic Society of America, nations that are monolingual or mono-ethnic are the minority; on the contrary, scholars estimate over five-thousand languages are spoken in 160 nations around the world (Valdés, 2012). For those people, the usage of multiple languages occurs on a daily basis, possibly due to the emergence of global markets or the development of the Internet. The present commentary discusses multilingualism in relation to a newer perspective to multilingual education. First, the scope of multilingualism will be provided, followed by a discussion on a newer trend – a holistic approach – to multilingual education. A particular focus will be placed on monolingual bias and insights for research on multilingualism will be proposed.

description: Driven primarily by globalization, multilingualism has become a topic du jour in the field of applied linguistics in general and in critical applied linguistics in particular (May, 2013). Especially in the last decade, the field has witnessed an intensive period of research into multilingualism and multiple language acquisition. A fundamental premise for research in the field is that a multilingual is not the sum of many monolinguals in the same person. Hence an individual with more than one language needs to be studied as a multilingual, with researchers avoiding a so-called “monolingual bias” (Grosjean, 2008). This commentary presents a short description of the so-called monolingual bias, followed by a brief discussion of the critique mounted over this notion from within SLA, and concludes with a brief analysis of the proposed solution for a way out and forward by Ortega (2010).
title: Surface Functionalized Electrospun Cellulose Nanofilters for High-Efficiency Particulate Matter Removal
Creators: name: Hung, Shaohsiang
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: The global spread of COIVD-19, as well as the worsening air pollution throughout the world have brought tremendous attention into the development of materials that can efficiently capture particulate matter (PM). Traditional filters made from fabric, glass fibers, or melt blown fibers exhibit a low efficiency at removing sub-micrometer and nanoscale particles. Additionally, they exhibit limited performance in high humidity, high temperature environments. We suggest that the high porosity of filters composed of nanofibers could provide minimal obstruction to air flow, while their high tortuosity and surface area-to-volume ratio presents an excellent platform for particle capture. Electrospinning is a simple and well-studied process to produce randomly accumulated nano- and micro-scale diameter fibers. The main advantages of electrospun nanofibers include their tunable fiber morphology and diameter under specific electrospinning parameters, as well as the ease of post-process modification. Studies have demonstrated its promising applications ranging from tissue engineering, water purification to wearable electronics. Giving the tunable aspect of the process, various polymers were electrospun with different morphology and fiber diameter which all demonstrated high particle removal efficiency. Cellulose was chosen as the base material for our study since it is the most abundant biopolymer and its affinity for further chemical modification.
In this study, the removal of nanoscale particles via in-house fabricated cellulose nanofilters is significantly enhanced by chemically functionalizing the fibers’ surface via the deposition of the bio-inspired glue polydopamine (PDA) and the polycation poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC). Nanofilters were electrospun from cellulose acetate solutions before being regenerated to cellulose via an alkaline treatment. Cellulose nanofilters were then functionalized using only PDA or the codeposition of PDA with PDADMAC. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the nanofilters. The effects of filter packing density, filter layering, and surface functionalization on their performance, i.e., their filtration efficiency, most penetrating particle size (MPPS), performance in a high humidity environment, and filter pressure drop were investigated. Furthermore, by introducing hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanofibers within a composite filter structure, the performance of the composite filter remained unchanged even in high humidity.
title: Defining the Role of RBBP4 in Oocyte Maturation and Preimplantation Development Using Trim-Away
Creators: name: Barletta, Holly L
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Retinoblastoma-binding protein 4 (RBBP4) is a subunit of chromatin remodeling factor 1 (CAF-1) and is essential for mammalian oocyte maturation, embryo survival, and embryo implantation. RBBP4 also localizes to the chromatin and is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein. Previous methods used to study this protein include short interfacing RNAs (siRNAs) and CRISPR/Cas9. These techniques have limitations such as determining an indirect depletion of proteins, may trigger compensatory mechanisms, and may not be useful in non-dividing primary cells. A new, acute, and rapid endogenous protein depletion technique called Trim-Away, can overcome these limitations. Trim-Away is also widely applicable since it can be used with many off-the-shelf reagents. Trim-Away utilizes the TRIM21-antibody interaction within the cytosol and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) to target and degrade a protein of interest. Studying RBBP4 using Trim-Away can offer insight into possible new functions of RBBP4 and its maternal effect, and increase the knowledge on a new, acute, and endogenous protein depletion technique. Here we report that, RBBP4 is required for proper blastocyst development and RBBP4 is more abundant in MII oocytes than GVBD oocytes. We also report that the loss of RBBP4 hinders RNA synthesis and causes cell death in later stages of embryo development. While our Trim-Away methodology can deplete RBBP4 as early as the 2-cell stage in embryos, our oocyte Trim-Away protocol needs to be optimized.

We find that the strain-minimizing stacking patterns connecting inequivalent ground states with local $AB$ and $BA$ interlayer registries are two dimensional twisted textures of an interlayer displacement field. We construct and display these topological stacking textures for bilayer graphene, examine their interactions and develop the composition rules that allow us to represent other more complex stacking textures, including globally twisted graphenes and extended one dimensional domain walls.

description: Across the four selected papers, Cenoz and Gorter present a research program entitled Focus on Multilingualism (FOM), which is underpinned by two questions: (1) how to understand multilingualism, perhaps from a humanistic perspective, and (2) how to implement it in education. In exploring these questions, the authors cite an intellectual and methodological lineage drawn from the fields of bilingualism and second language acquisition (SLA). I do not see inherent contradictions in invoking both bilingualism and SLA for the purpose. However, the thesis of this commentary is that the argumentation for these goals might benefit from a more explicit reflection of current understandings of SLA, from a macro view to a micro view, such that its own descriptive adequacy can be bolstered. Furthermore, I have concerns about how the implementation of such understanding will follow in education. First, I describe the scope and motivation of the FOM framework. Then, I suggest that more constructs from the field of SLA be invoked in FOM, namely from a Usage-based framework. I also suggest borrowing some of SLA’s methodological rigor. Last, I express broad concerns about the implementation of FOM for the purposes of education.

description: Posited as a “holistic” approach to the study of multilingualism and multilingual competence in educational contexts, Focus on Multilingualism (Cenoz & Gorter, 2011) attempts to bring together the fields of (1) second language acquisition (SLA), and (2) bilingualism/ multilingualism studies – both in (a) theory and (b) research methodology. It has even been argued – from a language ecological perspective – that there is more validity to this new approach than its traditional counterparts, given its proximity to the way languages are used in a social context. Specifically, FOM differs from SLA and bilingualism in that it takes into consideration the individual roles as well as the interplay of (i) the multilingual speaker, (ii) the entire linguistic repertoire (i.e., the multiple languages spoken by the learner), and (iii) the context, such as seeing the linguistic landscape as an additional source of language input (see, for example, Cenoz & Gorter, 2008). While this emphasis on the interconnectedness and mutual support across the learner’s different subsystems during the course of development and social interaction may appear somewhat in spirit with the sociocultural and/or complex systems approaches to SLA, FOM apparently gets ahead in that it avoids comparing the competence of multilingual speakers against the benchmarks of the native speaker of the target language(s). As will be illustrated below, while FOM has the potential to supplement current approaches to SLA in certain aspects of theory and research, it unavoidably also has its limitations.

description: The study of quarkonia, bound states of heavy (charm or bottom) quark-antiquark pairs such as the J/psi or the Upsilon?, provides insight into the earliest and hottest stages of high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions where the formation of a Quark-Gluon Plasma is expected. High-precision data from proton-proton collisions represent an essential baseline for the measurement of nuclear modifications in nucleus-nucleus collisions and serve also as a crucial test for models of quarkonium hadroproduction. Another fundamental tool to understand the quarkonium production in nucleus-nucleus collisions is the the study of proton-nucleus interactions, which allows one to investigate cold nuclear matter effects, such as parton shadowing or gluon saturation. The ALICE detector provides excellent capabilities to study quarkonium production at the Large Hadron Collider at both central and forward rapidity. An overview on ALICE results on quarkonium production in pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions is presented. Results are compared to theoretical model predictions.

description: Each year the TESOL & Applied Linguistics programs invite internationally-renowned researchers to give lectures at Teachers College. This year, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Jasone Cenoz and Dr. Durk Gorter, two prominent scholars in the field of multilingualism. In their talk, Cenoz and Gorter re-evaluated the previously dominant understanding of multilingualism and proposed a new approach to investigating multilingualism, which they termed Focus on Multilingualism (henceforth, FOM). While earlier treatments of multilingualism ignored dynamic interactions between the different linguistic systems that multilinguals know, this new perspective stresses the importance of a holistic approach to understanding multilingual speakers and their linguistic repertoires. Stemming from this new definition, multilingualism may be examined as a social and an individual phenomenon, keeping in mind, however, that “individual and societal multilingualism are not completely separated” (Cenoz, 2013, p. 5).

description: The Islamic world has always been of interest to the West. However, the attention after the catastrophic event of September 11, 2001, was unprecedented and the burgeoning rise of literary and cultural texts written about Islam and Muslim women simply reflects such attention. In this context, Muslim women’s voice gained impetus and the literary market received so many works by these women who for the first time started to speak about their life behind the veil. This research traces the memoir boom in the aftermath of 9/11 by Middle Eastern and Muslim women writers published and promoted by American, European and Australian publishing industries followed by contemporary women fictions by Arab American writers. In the first part, I address three memoirs that are written and published by and about women from Middle East and/or Islamic background by Azar Nafisi, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Norma Khouri. In each chapter, I will discuss how the author by taking up the role of cultural insider claims to be the voice of oppressed Muslim women and fight for their rights. But in fact, by documenting Islam as a monolithic, misogynist and backward religion, they confirm the Orientalist tropes and neoconservative ideologies and create highly problematic, yet popular, work which intensifies Islamophobic tendencies and anti-Muslim sentiments in the West. Furthermore, I argue that much of the discourse on the oppression of Muslim women in these testimonial narratives, is primarily used to help secure the popular neoconservative’s assumption that Muslim women need to be saved therefore providing enough support for the west to justify war and military intervention in the Middle East. Part two addresses works of Laila Halaby, Mohja Kahf, and Diana Abu-Jaber emerged as a write-back to the monolithic representation of Islam and Muslim women. These narratives by Arab American women authors question the simplified image of the Muslim and Arab woman in favour of more complex and nuanced representations of Muslim and Arab women. By bringing their American identity into a dialogue with their ethnicity, these authors deal with the question of hybridity and in-betweenness and problematize the dominant misrepresentation of Arabs in mainstream America. They also deconstruct the essentialized notion of identity and through various negotiation strategies construct individual and communal subjectivity, which is complex, unfixed, fluid and in-progress.

description: The Higgs production in the two-photon fusion process is investigated where one of the photons is off-shell while the other one is on-shell. This process is realized in either electron-positron collision or electron-photon collision where the scattered electron or positron is detected (single tagging) and described by the transition form factor. We calculate the contributions to the transition form factor of the Higgs boson coming from top-quark loops and W-boson loops. We then study the $Q^2$ dependence of each contribution to the total transition form factor and also of the differential cross section for the Higgs production.

description: In this paper, we propose a new rateless coded cooperation scheme for a general multi-user cooperative wireless system. We develop cooperation methods based on Raptor codes with the assumption that the channels face erasure with specific erasure probabilities and transmitters have no channel state information. A fully coded cooperation (FCC) and a partially coded cooperation (PCC) strategy are developed to maximize the average system throughput. Both PCC and FCC schemes have been analyzed through AND-OR tree analysis and a linear programming optimization problem is then formulated to find the optimum degree distribution for each scheme. Simulation results show that optimized degree distributions can bring considerable throughput gains compared to existing degree distributions which are designed for point-to-point binary erasure channels. It is also shown that the PCC scheme outperforms the FCC scheme in terms of average system throughput.

The entropy change of the black hole is nicely written in terms of Hawking flux. Integrating the first law of thermodynamics, we can obtain the decreasing black-hole entropy and the increasing radiation entropy, and the entanglement entropy for this system based on the Page argument. We also obtain analytically the critical temperature to release black-hole information, which corresponds to the Page time, and discuss the relation between the conserved total entropy and information recovering of the black hole in this model.

description: Almost forty years after Stalnaker’s (1974) initial call for “the development and application of a pragmatic theory in which detailed explanations of phenomena relating to linguistic contexts can be given” (p. 214), a unifying construct definition and theory still does not exist to explain fully pragmatic knowledge and ability (Roever, 2011, 2013). Given that test validity and reliability are crucial concerns in the field of second language (L2) assessment, it is important that we try to develop a more comprehensive theoretical construct, so that tests of pragmatic ability will have more construct validity, better represent the target language use (TLU) domain of the test construct, and thus have results that are hopefully more generalizable and useful to stakeholders. This paper presents a brief review of the extensive pragmatics literature and examines how the construct of pragmatic knowledge and ability has been operationalized from the perspective of theoretical and applied linguists. The paper presents (1) an introduction to the theoretical foundations of pragmatics, (2) a brief survey of applied empirical studies in L2 pragmatics, and (3) an overview of how the L2 assessment field has conceptualized pragmatic knowledge and ability, looking also at the various theoretical frameworks that have been proposed and utilized. Validation studies for the assessment models, although scarce, are discussed where appropriate. Lastly, some general ideas and suggestions are offered to help lead us towards a unifying construct definition of pragmatic knowledge and ability.

description: A theoretical analysis is presented to show the general occurrence of phase clusters in weakly, globally coupled oscillators close to a Hopf bifurcation. Through a reductive perturbation method, we derive the amplitude equation with a higher order correction term valid near a Hopf bifurcation point. This amplitude equation allows us to calculate analytically the phase coupling function from given limit-cycle oscillator models. Moreover, using the phase coupling function, the stability of phase clusters can be analyzed. We demonstrate our theory with the Brusselator model. Experiments are carried out to confirm the presence of phase clusters close to Hopf bifurcations with electrochemical oscillators.

description: In the summer of 1996, I started the TESOL program at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, and Leo was my professor in a number of courses, such as Language Analysis and Classroom Observations. His book Interaction in the Language Curriculum: Awareness, Autonomy, and Authenticity, which became known to us as the “AAA book,” had just come out. He quickly captured us with his wit, fairness, and wisdom. As a novice teacher from abroad, I was clueless about his impact on the field at the time.
In addition to drawing sentence trees in his Language Analysis class, Leo introduced us to his Introducing Language Awareness book, which everyone loved. By means of Leo’s “Grammar Stick de Luxe,” we rated native-speaker sentences on a scale in terms of what would be grammatically acceptable in what contexts: “It’s ten minutes in front of eight o’clock,” “There’s a big meeting ongoing right now.” Or: “The sporting neneks sang and ‘mengalaid’ through the night” (van Lier, 1995, p. 85). It was hilarious and eye-opening in that this went beyond the grammar books I had seen before, and it stuck with me. To this day, I still get giggles from my students whenever I introduce them to this exercise. Leo’s curiosity and playfulness as a teacher were contagious. He was never dismissive of our questions or suggestions, and there was never a bad idea. He supported each and every one as fully as he could. I was blessed to have him as a post-graduation mentor.
Prediction of an $I=1$ $D \bar D^*$ state and relationship to the claimed $Z_c(3900)$, $Z_c(3885)$

description: We study here the interaction of $D \bar D^*$ in the isospin $I=1$ channel in the light of recent theoretical advances that allow to combine elements of the local hidden gauge approach with heavy quark spin symmetry. We find that the exchange of light $q \bar q$ is OZI suppressed and, thus, we concentrate on the exchange of heavy vectors and of two pion exchange. The latter is found to be small compared to the exchange of heavy vectors, which then determines the strength of the interaction. A barely $D\bar{D}^*$ bound state decaying into $η_cρ$ and $πJ/ψ$ is found. At the same time we reanalyze the data of the BESIII experiment on $e^+ e^- \to π^{\pm} (D \bar D^*)^\mp$, from where a $Z_c(3885)$ state was claimed, associated to a peak in the $(D \bar D^*)^\mp$ invariant mass distribution close to threshold, and we find the data compatible with a resonance with mass around $3875$ MeV and width around $30$ MeV. We discuss the possibility that this and the $Z_c(3900)$ state found at BESIII, reconfirmed at 3896 MeV at Belle, or 3885 MeV at CLEO, could all be the same state and correspond to the one that we find theoretically.

description: As I encounter life during a global pandemic, caused by a virus that has us all homebound, I continue my own struggle with a different virus that keeps me not only homebound, but bed bound as well. In this thesis project, I make my way around and through the questions of chronic illness, self-worth, productivity and a changing relationship to time that arise in this dual viral experience - situating the personal within a larger social/political context.

description: Background With microarray technology becoming mature and popular, the selection and use of a small number of relevant genes for accurate classification of samples is a hot topic in the circles of biostatistics and bioinformatics. However, most of the developed algorithms lack the ability to handle multiple classes, which arguably a common application. Here, we propose an extension to an existing regularization algorithm called Threshold Gradient Descent Regularization (TGDR) to specifically tackle multi-class classification of microarray data. When there are several microarray experiments addressing the same/similar objectives, one option is to use meta-analysis version of TGDR (Meta-TGDR), which considers the classification task as combination of classifiers with the same structure/model while allowing the parameters to vary across studies. However, the original Meta-TGDR extension did not offer a solution to the prediction on independent samples. Here, we propose an explicit method to estimate the overall coefficients of the biomarkers selected by Meta-TGDR. This extension permits broader applicability and allows a comparison between the predictive performance of Meta-TGDR and TGDR using an independent testing set. Results Using real-world applications, we demonstrated the proposed multi-TGDR framework works well and the number of selected genes is less than the sum of all individualized binary TGDRs. Additionally, Meta-TGDR and TGDR on the batch-effect adjusted pooled data approximately provided same results. By adding Bagging procedure in each application, the stability and good predictive performance are warranted. Conclusions Compared with Meta-TGDR, TGDR is less computing time intensive, and requires no samples of all classes in each study. On the adjusted data, it has approximate same predictive performance with Meta-TGDR. Thus, it is highly recommended.

description: On Friday, April 19, 2013, our journal (represented by Catherine Box and Victoria Parra-Moreno) had the fortunate opportunity to speak one-on-one with the Teachers College, Columbia University 2013 Applied Linguistics and Language Education (APPLE) speaker, Professor Mary McGroarty. She graciously agreed to take time out of her quite packed schedule, which included two talks with the Teachers College community, to converse about her thoughts on language policies in education, teacher training, bilingualism in the schools, and the progression of the applied linguistics field. Professor McGroarty is professor in the applied linguistics program in the English Department at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona. She is a former president of the American Association for Applied Linguistics and editor-in-chief of the Annual Review of Applied Linguistics. She has also served on editorial boards for journals published in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Europe. She has published numerous book chapters, and her articles have appeared in journals such as TESOL Quarterly, Language Policy, Educational Researcher, and Language Learning. Her current research and teaching interests include sociolinguistics, language policy, pedagogy, bilingualism, and assessment. We would like to thank Professor McGroarty for allowing us to interview her and providing us doctoral students such rich food for thought on topics that we often grapple with as researchers and as parents of bilingual children. We would also like to thank Fred Tsutagawa for videotaping the interview, and Yuna Seong and Dr. Kirby Grabowski for helping to coordinate our time with Professor McGroarty.
