description: This study sought to address an existing gap in the multicultural research literature by exploring the impact of racial identity, ethnic identity, and racial socialization on perceptions of racial discrimination among Black Caribbean immigrants to the United States.  Participants included 120 English-speaking Black Caribbean immigrant adults who completed a survey consisting of: a demographic information sheet, the Black Racial Identity Attitude Scale - Long Form (RIAS-L), the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM), the Teenager Experience of Racial Socialization Scale (TERS), and the Perceived Racism Scale (PRS).
      A Pearson's correlational analysis found significant relationships between racial identity and ethnic identity, with the racial identity status attitudes Encounter, Immersion-Emersion, and Internalization being positively related to overall ethnic identity. Linear regression analyses were then conducted using racial socialization as a predictor variable and racial identity status attitudes as well as overall ethnic identity as criterion variables. Significant positive relationships were found between racial socialization and the racial identity status attitudes Encounter, Immersion-Emersion, and Internalization, as well as between racial socialization and overall ethnic identity.
      Two simple linear regressions were initially conducted in order to determine whether racial socialization might be predictive of perceptions of racial discrimination for the year as well as the lifetime. Significant positive relationships were found between racial socialization and perceived racism scores for both the year and the lifetime. Further regression analyses also found the racial socialization factor Cultural Alertness to Discrimination (CAD) to be a unique positive predictor of perceptions of racial discrimination for the year as well as the lifetime. Subsequent hierarchical regression analyses later indicated that racial socialization significantly predicted perceptions of racial discrimination for the year and the lifetime above and beyond racial identity. Racial socialization was also a significant predictor of perceptions of racial discrimination for the year and the lifetime after accounting for overall ethnic identity.
      Finally, MANOVA results indicated that first generation and second generation participants differed significantly on: the racial identity status attitude Encounter, overall ethnic identity, as well as the racial socialization factor Cultural Alertness to Discrimination (CAD). In sum, findings from the current study suggest that racial socialization experiences have a substantial impact on perceptions of racial discrimination and play an important role in racial and ethnic identity development. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

description: We have studied ionizing collisions in a BEC of He*. Measurements of the ion production rate combined with measurements of the density and number of atoms for the same sample allow us to estimate both the 2 and 3-body contributions to this rate. A comparison with the decay of the number of condensed atoms in our magnetic trap, in the presence of an rf-shield, indicates that ionizing collisions are largely or wholly responsible for the loss. Quantum depletion makes a substantial correction to the 3-body rate constant.

description: We propose a modification to Nielsen's circuit complexity for Hamiltonian simulation using the Suzuki-Trotter (ST) method, which provides a network like structure for the quantum circuit. This leads to an optimized gate counting linear in the geodesic distance and spatial volume, unlike in the original proposal. The optimized ST iteration order is correlated with the error tolerance and plays the role of an anti-de Sitter (AdS) radial coordinate. The density of gates is shown to be monotonic with the tolerance and a holographic interpretation using path-integral optimization is given.

Determinants of regular singular Sturm-Liouville operators

description: We consider a regular singular Sturm-Liouville operator $L:=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + \frac{q(x)}{x^2 (1-x)^2}$ on the line segment $[0,1]$. We impose certain boundary conditions such that we obtain a semi-bounded self-adjoint operator. It is known that the $ζ$-function of this operator $ζ_L(s)=\sum_{λ\in\spec(L)\setminus\{0\}} λ^{-s}$ has a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane with 0 being a regular point. Then, according to Ray and Singer the $ζ$-regularized determinant of $L$ is defined by $\detz(L):=\exp(-ζ_L'(0)).$ In this paper we are going to express this determinant in terms of the solutions of the homogeneous differential equation $Ly=0$ generalizing earlier work of S. Levit and U. Smilansky, T. Dreyfus and H. Dym, and D. Burghelea, L. Friedlander and T. Kappeler. More precisely we prove the formula $\detz(L)=\frac{πW(ψ,ϕ)} {2^{ν_0+ν_1} Γ(ν_0+1)Γ(ν_1+1)}.$ Here $ϕ, ψ$ is a certain fundamental system of solutions for the homogeneous equation $Ly=0$, $W(ϕ, ψ)$ denotes their Wronski determinant, and $ν_0, ν_1$ are numbers related to the characteristic roots of the regular singular points $0, 1$.

description: We consider the dynamics generated by the Schroedinger operator $H=-{1/2}Δ+ V(x) + W(\epsi x)$, where $V$ is a lattice periodic potential and $W$ an external potential which varies slowly on the scale set by the lattice spacing. We prove that in the limit $\epsi \to 0$ the time dependent position operator and, more generally, semiclassical observables converge strongly to a limit which is determined by the semiclassical dynamics.

description: It is shown that the universal Newton time may be introduced in the classical electrodynamics. The statement results from an existence of the generalized symmetry of Maxwell equations with respect to Galilei transformations (physics/9701006). In the case of the extended Galilei transformations the postulate of invariance of the speed of light may be made compatible with the concept of the universal Newton time. Some physical consequences of the extended Galilei symmetry are considered.

description: Phytoplankton samples were collected monthly (August 1974-June 1975) at two stations in the Back Bay system of southeastern Virginia. Measurements of phytoplankton productivity and potentially influencing environmental parameters (water and air temperature, turbidity, depth, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen) accompanied sample collections. A total of 106 phytoplankton species, representing six algal divisions and 54 genera were identified. Cyanophyta species were dominant at both stations in the warmer months of August, September, October, and June, and in April at one station only. In all remaining months, Chlorophyta species were dominant, indicating a seasonal shift in phytoplankton composition during winter and spring. The absence of dominance by diatoms at any time during the study indicated a clear departure from typically estuarine conditions. A predominantly fresh water flora favored comparison of data with studies conducted in southeastern Coastal Plain lakes and ponds. Seasonal variation in phytoplankton density followed a bimodal pattern at both stations, with moderate increases in October, and density maxima in March and April. Phytoplankton productivity values correlated significantly with standing crop, but not with measurements of individual environmental parameters. Productivity values were similar to values measured in other shallow, upper-estuarine habitats. Seasonally elevated productivity values and associated populations of green and blue-green algae suggested advanced mesotrophic, or eutrophic conditions such as reported in nutrient-enriched Coastal Plain ponds.

description: Gleason-type theorems derive the density operator and the Born rule formalism of quantum theory from the measurement postulate, by considering additive functions which assign probabilities to measurement outcomes. Additivity is also the defining property of solutions to Cauchy's functional equation. This observation suggests an alternative proof of the strongest known Gleason-type theorem, based on techniques used to solve functional equations.

The Wei-Norman method is applied to obtain the associated differential equation in the group $SL(2,R)$. The superposition principle for first order differential equation systems and Lie-Scheffers theorem are also analysed from this group theoretical perspective. Finally, the theory is applied in the solution of second order differential equations like time-independent Schroedinger equation

description: Starting from γ-ketoesters with an o-iodobenzyl group we studied a palladium- catalyzed cyclization process that stereoselectively led to bi- and tricyclic compounds in moderate to excellent yields. Four X-ray crystal structure analyses unequivocally defined the structure of crucial cyclization products. The relative configuration of the precursor compounds is essentially transferred to that of the products and the formed hydroxy group in the newly generated cyclohexane ring is consistently in trans-arrangement with respect to the methoxycarbonyl group. A transition-state model is proposed to explain the observed stereochemical outcome. This palladium-catalyzed Barbier-type reaction requires a reduction of palladium(II) back to palladium(0) which is apparently achieved by the present triethylamine.

description: The purpose of this paper is to suggest the construction and study properties of semi-infinite induction, which relates to semi-infinite cohomology the same way induction relates to homology and coinduction to cohomology. We prove a version of the Shapiro Lemma, relating the semi-infinite cohomology of a module with that of the semi-infinitely induced module. A practical outcome of our construction is a simple construction of Wakimoto modules, highest-weight modules used in double-sided BGG resolutions of irreducible modules.

description: Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of African Sleeping Sickness in humans and contributes to the related veterinary disease, Nagana. T. brucei is segregated into three subspecies based on host specificity, geography and pathology. T. b. brucei is limited to animals (excluding some primates) throughout sub-Saharan Africa and is non-infective to humans due to trypanolytic factors found in human serum. T. b. gambiense and T. b. rhodesiense are human infective sub-species. T. b. gambiense is the more prevalent human, causing over 97% of human cases. Study of T. b. gambiense is complicated in that there are two distinct groups delineated by genetics and phenotype. The relationships between the two groups and local T. b. brucei are unclear and may have a bearing on the evolution of the human infectivity traits. A collection of sympatric T. brucei isolates from Côte d'Ivoire, consisting of T. b. brucei and both groups of T. b. gambiense have previously been categorized by isoenzymes, RFLPs and Blood Incubation Infectivity Tests. These samples were further characterized using the group 1 specific marker, TgSGP, and seven microsatellites. The relationships between the T. b. brucei and T. b. gambiense isolates were determined using principal components analysis, neighbor-joining phylogenetics, STRUCTURE, FST, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and linkage disequilibrium. Group 1 T. b. gambiense form a clonal genetic group, distinct from group 2 and T. b. brucei, whereas group 2 T. b. gambiense are genetically indistinguishable from local T. b. brucei. There is strong evidence for mating within and between group 2 T. b. gambiense and T. b. brucei. We found no evidence to support the hypothesis that group 2 T. b. gambiense are hybrids of group 1 and T. b. brucei, suggesting that human infectivity has evolved independently in groups 1 and 2 T. b. gambiense.

description: Measurements of light emission from a scanning tunneling microscope probing a Na overlayer on the (111) surface of Cu are reported along with results of a model calculation that essentially agree with the experimental ones. The observed light emission spectra show two characteristic features depending on the bias voltage. When the bias voltage is smaller than the energy of the second quantum well state formed outside the Na overlayer the light emission is due to a plasmon-mediated process, while for larger biases light emission is mainly caused by quantum well transitions between the two levels.

Previous results have concentrated on the small-particle limit where the size of the attaching particle approaches zero in the limit. However, we consider the case where we rescale the whole cluster by its capacity before taking limits, whilst keeping the particle size fixed. We first consider the case where $α=0$ and show that under capacity rescaling, the limiting structure of the cluster is not a disk, unlike in the small-particle limit. Then we consider the case where $0

description: In the last decade there has been a significant shift in the framing of climate governance. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has moved from an explicit focus on mitigation, to also include adaptation. Climate change is no longer simply about reducing emissions but also about enabling countries to deal with its impacts – be it on development, migration, or health. Yet most studies of the climate regime have focused on the evolution of mitigation governance, not adaptation. This tendency is partly because adaptation was considered a ‘taboo’ topic in the UNFCCC as many states did not want to concede that climate change was occurring, or did not want it to be considered a substitute for mitigation. In short, global adaptation governance is understudied and poorly conceptualized. In this paper, we ask: what constitutes and characterizes global adaptation governance? We attempt to characterize governance efforts in terms of what, who and how adaptation is governed. We examine: the constituent parts of an emerging regime (principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures), the institutions involved, and how these parts have been manifested in concrete modes of governance (standards and commitments, operations, finance, knowledge and networking). To aid this mapping, we use the mitigation regime as a heuristic for comparison. We find that there is indeed an emerging global regime around adaptation, although characterized by ‘soft’ procedural and facilitative modes of governance. Furthermore the institutional complexity and fragmentation we see in global adaptation governance arises for different reasons than for the mitigation regime. Namely the epistemic ambiguity around adaptation, including its scalar framing, and the power politics around controlling donor funds for adaptation. This paper contributes to our understanding of the shift in framing of global climate governance, from mitigation to adaptation, and the coherence of this regime.

description: During the last years we have generated a large number of data related to Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties which can be described by reflexive polyhedra. We classified all reflexive polyhedra in three dimensions leading to K3 hypersurfaces and have nearly completed the four dimensional case relevant to Calabi-Yau threefolds. In addition, we have analysed for many of the resulting spaces whether they allow fibration structures of the types that are relevant in the context of superstring dualities. In this survey we want to give background information both on how we obtained these data, which can be found at our web site, and on how they may be used. We give a complete exposition of our classification algorithm at a mathematical (rather than algorithmic) level. We also describe how fibration structures manifest themselves in terms of toric diagrams and how we managed to find the respective data. Both for our classification scheme and for simple descriptions of fibration structures the concept of weight systems plays an important role.

subject: Marine spatial connectivity

description: Globally, ecosystems are experiencing increasing pressure from anthropogenic stressors. Human population growth is responsible for overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, land alteration and climate change. A change in landscape connectivity, may not only reduce the habitable space for species, but may also affect their movement and population dynamics. These changes potentially reduce the resilience of ecosystems against other stressors. Reserves are a common method to protect areas from overexploitation and habitat destruction and help to safeguard ecosystem functioning. Reserve size, location and configuration influence the effect of reserves and the optimal design of protected areas is a field of ongoing research. Connectivity is a guiding principle in protected area planning but the explicit incorporation of connections remains a challenge. Reasons can be found in the scarcity of quantitative data on connectivity and a lack of agreement on connectivity measures. Currently, connections in marine landscapes are less studied than on land. The aim of this thesis was to examine the relationship between connectivity and ecosystem processes, and to test methods for modelling and incorporating quantitative data on connectivity in the design of marine protected areas.

The mean annual income was 4.21 for category 4 of $40,000-$49,999 (min 1, max 9, SD=1.64). Most of the participants were employed (n=188, 96.9%) and born in the United States (n=152, 78.4%). As a reflection of a global sample, if not a sample of men born in Ghana (77.3%, n=194) who were now dispersed across the globe, over two-thirds (77.3%) were born in Ghana while 78.4% (n=152) were currently living in the United States; 15.5% (n=30) were currently living in Ghana, followed by 5.1 (n=10) currently living in other countries. Key findings showed that, as a brief intervention of taking the PC-S-KT-39, as per results of four paired t-tests (Bonferroni Adjustment Significance, .05/4, p=.013), this was associated with a significant increase from pre-knowledge test to post-knowledge test (p

description: Lattice current algebras were introduced as a regularization of the left- and right moving degrees of freedom in the WZNW model. They provide examples of lattice theories with a local quantum symmetry $U_q(\sg)$. Their representation theory is studied in detail. In particular, we construct all irreducible representations along with a lattice analogue of the fusion product for representations of the lattice current algebra.

Black Lyric: Trauma and Poetic Voice in Contemporary Irish Drama

description: I argue that lyricism, prevalent on the Irish stage from the inception of the national dramatic theatre tradition, is invoked, subverted, and exhausted by contemporary Irish playwrights. Lyric art had an evident nation-building function on the Irish stage, but the capacities of lyric language also included the expression and containment of painful material that otherwise could not easily be represented or voiced, but which, by the second half of the twentieth century, could not be comfortably repressed. In the period 1960-2010 (from Tom Murphy to Mark O’Rowe), playwrights of national significance—Murphy, Marina Carr, Martin McDonagh, Enda Walsh, and O’Rowe—increasingly associate the Hiberno-English lyric register with social fracture, emotional and psychic disturbance, and loss, until the lyric mode itself is exposed as inherently traumatized. I call this later mode, at the close of the twentieth century, “black lyric.” Black lyric operates as a travesty of lyric expression. Black lyrical writing is lyrical text containing, but also produced by, pain, and at its fullest power, it operates as a grotesque parody of poetic expressiveness. It confronts the audience with trauma and psychic suffering attached to national expression rather than offering sonorous comfort. This project uses a combination of close reading, historical research, and theoretical analysis to argue that the playwrights who deploy heightened Hibernicized English at the end of the twentieth century are commenting upon and challenging the canon of Irish drama, which depended on a lyric register not only to console but to conceal. Commentators of twentieth-century Irish drama routinely remark on the dramatic tradition’s visceral poetry, yet it is rarely the subject of any sustained analysis outside of considerations of “language” or “style” generally. This dissertation seeks to partly address that omission.
Quantum thermodynamics in the interior of a Schwarzschild B-H

description: We study the interior of a Schwarzschild Black-Hole (B-H) using Relativistic Quantum Geometry described in \cite{rb} and \cite{rb1}. We found discrete energy levels for a scalar field from a polynomial condition for Heun Confluent functions expanded around the Schwarzschild radius. From the solutions it is obtained that the uncertainty principle is valid for each energy level of space-time, in the form: $E_n\, r_{sh,n}=\hbar/2$. Temperature, entropy and the B-H mass are dependent on the number of states in the B-H, such that the Bekenstein-Hawking (BH) results are obtained in a limit case.

Black Men of the Classroom:  An Exploration of how the Organizational Conditions, Characteristics, and Dynamics in Schools Affect Black Male Teachers' Pathways into the Profession

description: This is a study of teachers' experiences in organizations. In particular, this study explores the experiences that prompted Black male teachers to consider a career in teaching, the organizational conditions that influenced their workplace experiences, and the organizational dynamics that affected these teachers' decisions to stay or leave their current schools or the profession. Drawing on interviews from 27 Black male teachers across fourteen schools in Boston Public Schools, this study found that an early experience teaching influenced participants' decisions to enter the teaching profession. Findings from this study also suggest that the number of Black men on a school's faculty influenced participants' workplace experiences. Participants who were the only Black men on the faculty, or whom I describe as "Loners," faced greater challenges in navigating the organization when compared to participants in schools with many more Black male teachers, or "Groupers." Moreover, there was a relationship between the reasons participants cited for leaving, participants' actual decisions to stay or leave, and organizational characteristics. Loners stayed. Groupers moved to other schools and some left teaching altogether. Loners cited the school's overall working conditions as their reason for staying, while Groupers described administrative leadership as their reason for leaving. This dissertation builds on the nascent literature that explores how organizational conditions, characteristics, and dynamics in schools affect the pathways into the profession, experiences, and retention of Black male teachers.

description: We conducted a simple experiment in which one pedestrian passed through a crowded area and measured the body-rotational angular velocity with commercial tablets. Then, we developed a new method for predicting crowd density by applying the continuous wavelet transform and machine learning to the data obtained in the experiment. We found that the accuracy of prediction using angular velocity data was as high as that using raw velocity data. Therefore, we concluded that angular velocity has relationship with crowd density and we could estimate crowd density by angular velocity. Our research will contribute to management of safety and comfort of pedestrians by developing an easy way to measure crowd density.

description: El objetivo central de este trabajo es analizar las representaciones sociales de la desigualdad social presentadas en los llamados Libros de Texto Gratuitos de Historia de México, producidos por el Estado mexicano. Estos libros, iguales para todos los alumnos que cursan la educación primaria, que después de cincuenta años de existencia son considerados un derecho fundamental, ofrecen un mismo horizonte en el acceso al saber. Además, estos libros son presentados por el Estado mexicano como los portadores de la “historia oficial”. Con base en cuatro grandes reformas de la educación primaria realizadas en el último medio siglo, los flujos de saber han modificado y transmitido versiones oficiales del pasado enmarcadas en distintos contextos sociopolíticos que permiten indagar cuáles son y cómo han evolucionado en estos libros las representaciones de la desigualdad social.

description: Black men make up roughly 2% of the national teaching corps, and as Brockenbrough (2012) reminds us, there are recurring themes within Black Masculinity Studies that are central to bear in mind when looking at the lived and teaching experiences of these Black male teachers. The major one is to recognize and acknowledge the unique psychological, emotional, and spiritual toll of Black male marginality on Black men. “Oft-cited statistics on incarceration, homicide, unemployment, high school dropout, and HIV infection rates, among other chronic blights (Dyson, 1993; Noguera, 2003), illustrate not only the systemic marginality of Black men in American society, but also their distance from patriarchal definitions of manhood that rely on White supremacist and capitalist power to reinforce male domination” (p.5).
      The intention of this study was to engage with these Black male teachers’ narratives, stories, and commentaries and learn from their life and teaching experiences as Black men. The aim was to gain insight into how they were recruited, how they were supported, and also what their understandings and thoughts are around retaining Black male teachers in the classrooms.
      This is a small qualitative study is a sample of four Black Male teachers within the 2013 Teach for America Corps in NYC. As Lewis (2006) suggests, many of these Black male teachers consider their role bound to some form of social justice. This inquiry aimed to talk across the struggles and challenges of Black men in the NYC corps of the TFA program and to reach an understanding of their lived and teaching experience, and of the ways ideologies and narratives are negotiated and navigated in schools and classrooms. The questions of inquiry were aimed to provide insight into the recruitment, retention, and professional support of the Black male teacher, both in TFA and outside this program. Participation in this study was limited to Black male educators with one year of elementary or middle school teaching experience, in order to draw on and speak to the greater presence of male teachers at those levels to help teacher preparation programs navigate toward better recruitment processes, and supporting and sustaining more Black males in the classroom.
