The Radio Luminosity Function And Redshift Evolution Of Radio-Mode And Quasar-Mode Agn
Creators: name: Pracy, Mike
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Active Galactic Nuclei

description: The properties of the AGN population indicate that there are two fundamentally different accretion modes operating. In the quasar-mode, material is accreted onto the supermassive black hole via a small, thin, optically luminous accretion disc. Accretion in this mode is recognisable by emission lines in the optical spectrum. However, there is a population of AGN observable only by their radio emission and without optical emission lines. These radio-mode AGN are likely powered by radiatively inefficient accretion from a hot gas halo. I will describe the cosmic evolution of these two populations via radio luminosity functions. The radio luminosity functions are  constructed from a new survey of over 4000 radio galaxies out to z=1, all with confirmed redshifts and their accretion mode classified from their optical spectra. This is 20 times larger than the only other survey used to make such a measurement. The radio-mode AGN population displays no statistically significant  evolution in  space density out to redshift z=1.  In contrast the quasar mode AGN exhibits rapid evolution in space density, increasing by a factor of 8 over the same redshift range. The characteristic break in the radio luminosity function occurs at a significantly higher power for the quasar-mode AGN in comparison to the radio-mode AGN and we demonstrate this is consistent with the two populations representing fundamentally different accretion modes.  The radio luminosity function is used to estimate the total amount of mechanical energy available for radio mode feedback as a function of redshift, and is found to be in good agreement with cosmological models and previous measurements.   Again, by separating by accretion mode, the previously estimated increase in available mechanical energy per unit volume out to z=1 (approximately a factor of 2) can be attributed to the rapid evolution of the quasar-mode AGN, while for the classical radio-mode AGN the total mechanical energy output remains roughly constant.
Iconic Lyricism and Personal Perspective

description: It is my contention that iconic lyrics of this period register a shift in awareness of human psychology that gives them a status equal to that we might grant to major tragedies like Hamlet and King Lear, or novels such as Proust's masterpiece and War and Peace. The contemporary literary and artistic consequences of this evolution are perhaps more significant than those of the pagan models, which as pre-Christian necessarily concerned more style (such as Cicero's or Seneca's) than that later moral content. Typical artistic patterns of the Reformation period reflect the pre-eminence of the subjective point of view, particularly in its lyrics and their use of chronological perspective, which came to be seen as intrinsic to the form.

"A Death Like the Rebel Angels": Cather and Faulkner Expose the Myth of Aerial Chivalry in One of Ours and Soldiers' Pay

subject: Faulkner, William, 1897-1962

description: This essay explores the challenge to the chivalric myth of the aviator in Willa Cather’s One of Ours and William Faulkner’s Soldier’s Pay. Revived during the First World War, this romantic myth cloaked the aviator in idealism and hid the actual body of the flyer in rhetoric. In this war of increasing mechanization, the air war was the last bastion of individual, man-to-man combat; as such, the chivalric myth captured the hearts of the public, painting the aviators as knights of the air and romanticizing both their kills and their deaths in legends of glory.  Cather and Faulkner, writing shortly after the war’s end, expose this construction by showing aviators who are themselves subsumed by this myth, surrendering to this rhetoric until they essentially disappear within it. The pilots these authors present are decidedly unromantic, with raucous lives, disfiguring injuries and ignoble deaths.  By putting these texts in conversation with each other, and with the discourse of aerial chivalry, this essay fills a gap in the study of war literature.  Moving beyond the study of soldiers and the ground war, I show how these novels publicly critique the discursive formation of the aviator.

description: Hugh M. Richmond, "Renaissance Landscapes," Mouton, 1973; De Gruyter 2019.  This study explores some of the significant points in the evolution of a literary pattern, a recognizable topic or motif which captures attention through the poet's mastery of language, which records the nuances of human awareness of each period. The author coins this genre as "landscape lyric". Its scale varies from that of an Horatian ode to that of Il Penseroso. In its mature form, the poet characteristically exploits circumstantial detain of persona, place, and atmosphere to give to this kind of poem the appearance of autobiographical realism; thus, he normally used his own name and that of a areal place. This air of historical particularity is a necessary part of the genre's aesthetic impact - a consideration which distinguishes it at least superficially from the more oblique, pastoral mode.  As a recognized genre the landscape lyric has perhaps been too exclusively associated with the Romantics, and this phase has certainly been too well discussed to go into depth in this volume. This book looks into some earlier masters of the genre, showing that its conception, development, and even perfection as a literary mode antedate the eighteenth century, and that such Romantics as Wordsworth and Keats depended on this perfected tradition in creating poems like "Tintern Abbey" and "to Autumn". These pre-Romantic achievements in landscape lyricism also influenced later poets as Hardy and Frost. This volume also covers the exposition of the virtues of four important Renaissance poets - Petrarch, Ronsard, Milton, and Marvell. Later poetry in the genre is also quoted and discussed in the latter half of the book.

description: Learning a creativity-based skill like programming requires practice and dedication. In â€œtraditionalâ€ programming courses, instructors spend most of their time lecturing to large groups of students, with little class time to spend on active exercises or personal interaction. Students are not in control of the content delivery or its pacing, nor is it effectively communicated that practice is needed to master programming. Moreover, most practice is individual and graded strictly, meaning students suffer heavy penalties for minor slips while learning or collaborating. This past year we experimented with a self-paced version of introductory programming, where students spend class time working on problems in small groups at their own pace. Learning is intentional because students take responsibility for their learning, rather than waiting for the instructor. Our pass rates in the course improved by 25% with these modifications. This design could be adapted to other disciplines. Â We propose to demonstrate our innovations by leading the audience in a simulation of our self-paced, active learning, class by teaching the 'students' to solve a simple puzzle. Members of our instructional team will play the role of teaching assistants, who offer peer learning opportunities in our classrooms. Like students, the audience will have varying levels of previous exposure to these puzzles, so they will move through the exercises at their own pace. We will demonstrate how faculty can use immediate automated feedback, asynchronous online content, individual assessments with the ability to test up to five times, interventions, peer-learning, and mini-lectures to allow students to learn new skills at their own pace. Â Suggestions for adapting this to other disciplines will also be discussed.

Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2016
Subjects: Chemistry; STEM Education;

description: Undergraduate students need to develop the ability to communicate scientific ideas to both their peers and the public. Often senior level chemistry classes focus on written and sometimes oral communication methods, such as reports and presentations. These traditional methods of dissemination are valuable, but often inaccessible to non-scientists. Information graphics or infographics are examples of visual communication and have become increasingly common in recent years. In a senior-level inorganic chemistry course at George Mason University, students created information graphics or infographics to communicate a scientific idea of interest to them. This flexible project required students to think creatively about unfamiliar elements and concepts. The details of the assignment, its assessment, and the student products will be presented in this poster. Recommendations for changes and future implementation by other educators will be discussed.

description: Despite increased pressure on academia to produce job-ready graduates, students can still learn how to discover new knowledge and put that knowledge to use without compromising the important lessons a liberal education and the interdisciplinary research process teaches. An innovative course in Masonâ€™s Honors College called â€œResearch in the Public Sphereâ€ connects student researchers from across all disciplines with Northern Virginia nonprofits and businesses whose pressing challenges serve as a starting point for student research projects. Students develop their research questions around the needs of these public entities, exploring and examining their research questions from multiple perspectives. Now in its third installation, this â€œtranslationalâ€ research course demonstrates to students important relations and distinctions between â€œpureâ€ and â€œappliedâ€ research, helping them translate their learning to the public sphere. Bio-engineering, computer science, finance, government and international politics, neuroscience, psychology, and systems engineering majors have all taken the course. Two students who took the course will share some specific research experiences and learning gains. Â Lesson plans will be made available for those interested in particular assignments from the course.

Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: Dialogue as an intervention approach to conflict resolution employs a variety of setting, techniques and mechanisms to forge understanding and bring participants to a new notion of self and other. This dissertation shares knowledge based on mechanism and settings of an innovating dialogue model initiated in the field of conflict resolution, named Reflective Digital Dialogue. This model has been applied to the case study of Iran-Israel Dialogue (IID), where citizens from the two countries with high-level hostility join each other in an online dialogue. The IID is a multi-year effort to collect, examine and apply data on a dialogue intervention approach that grew out of Iranian-Israeli conflict and the personal experience of a group of citizens from the two counties and the author as a participant of that conflict. In the years since data gathering aspect of this project concluded, the author has sought to apply various theoretic and conceptual tools from an advanced education, as well as personal reflection, to develop an in-depth understanding of the large amount of data collected in the IID project into this dissertation. This research seeks answer to what kind of shifts happen when Iranian and Israeli citizens engage in a digital dialogue? It also shares knowledge and experiment of the IID model, whether the model used in the IID viable to connect mutual trust and understandings among citizens from enemy states. Compiling and coming to understand the important lessons contained in the lived experiences of the multiple participants in the IID project has involved a multi-year effort of applying newly learned theoretic and conceptual approaches. The resulting dissertation demonstrates three stages of shifts in the dialogue. The case study examines the evolution of three stages of shift, including trustbuilding, sharing fears and perception of the other and taking collaborative actions. The research also shares the challenges of online dialogue as experienced in this digital model.

description: Engaging the studentâ€™s prior knowledge is considered by educational researchers to be an important part of constructing a strong foundation for new learning. Diagrams are one technique used in the classroom. Jill Larkin and Herbert Simon described the computational advantages of diagrams over text when used to communicate information in their 1987 article entitled â€œWhy a Diagram is (Sometimes) Worth Ten Thousand Words.â€ This presentation describes a novel abstract diagramming technique designed to be facilitated in the classroom. Using paper and crayons, the participants create three diagrams that represent the externalization of their own prior knowledge of concepts in a domain of study. The presentation illustrates how differences in prior knowledge can be visualized using diagrams with greater speed in less time than the traditional use of text-based descriptions. The student diagrams were shown to contain a hidden conceptual topology, one that is described by Egenhofer in his 1991 article entitled â€œReasoning About Binary Topological Relations.â€ This topology is recommended as a framework for structuring and facilitating student collaboration and sharing of prior knowledge and new learning.

description: We extracted pollen from historical honeycomb specimens of beeswax to highlight the potential of beeswax as a source for palynological studies. The pollen composition was explored as a proxy for honeybee foraging in the past. Additionally, we wanted to illuminate the potential of the palynological analysis to provenance the specimens. Danish honeycomb samples from the Natural History Museum of Denmark, dating from the late 19th, early twentieth century were processed and analysed for pollen identification. We used Ellenberg values to represent functional traits for the identified taxa and applied these as explanatory variables to study the variation in foraging environment and plant preference of the honeybees. Our results indicate variations of an agricultural landscape, with bees foraging on plants that are high in nutritional value. We found that information gained from palynological analysis of museum samples may be useful in illuminating details of historical apiology. We present our study in light of the importance of environmental biodiversity in Denmark and its vitality for bees as key pollinators in our ecosystem.

description: Undergraduate research is an experience that cultivates creative and intentional learners in and out of the classroom. Using unique data from an online survey of faculty members at three diverse colleges and universities, we investigate the individual and institutional factors that facilitate or inhibit faculty membersâ€™ willingness to provide undergraduates with research opportunities.Â  We focus our analysis on individual and institutional explanations for faculty participation or non-participation as a research mentor to one or more undergraduates.Â  We examine the influence of demographic (e.g., gender, race, tenure status, discipline) and institutional characteristics (e.g., type of institution, perceived institutional supports) to statistically model the likelihood that faculty members had previously mentored undergraduates in independent research projects. We draw upon these findings to discuss implications for institutions desiring to increase student (and therefore faculty) undergraduate research experience.Â

description: The Keresta Formation, located in the Volgograd–Volga region (the Volga–Caspian subregion of south-west Russia) has been dated as Middle Eocene, Lutetian, based on dinoflagellate cysts of the Enneadocysta arcuata Zone and nannofossils from the Lutetian subzones CP13c–CP14a. Within this interval, four new species of dinoflagellate cysts are described: Spiniferella grigorovichiae sp. nov., Impagidinium tuberculatum sp. nov., Hystrichostrogylon crassitunicatum sp. nov. and Hystrichosphaeropsis tenerum sp. nov. The new species present a high correlation potential for Middle Eocene stratigraphy over the southern part of the Russian Platform. Also, the assemblage of organic-walled microphytoplankton from the Keresta Formation indicates warm-water marine environments within the marginal part of the Paratethys Basin.

Photoionisation Modelling Of The Broad Line Region
Creators: name: King, Anthea
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Active Galactic Nuclei

description: Two of the most fundamental questions regarding the broad line region (BLR) are "what is its structure?" and "how is it moving?” Baldwin et al. (1995) showed that by summing over an ensemble of clouds at differing densities and distances from the ionising source we can easily and naturally produce a spectrum similar to what is observed for AGN. This approach is called the `locally optimally emitting clouds' (LOC) model. This approach can also explain the well-observed stratification of emission lines in the BLR (e.g. Clavel et al. 1991, Peterson et al. 1991, Kollatschny et al. 2001) and `breathing’ of BLR with changes in the continuum luminosity (Netzer & Mor 1990, Peterson et al. 2014) and is therefore a generally accepted model of the BLR. However, LOC predictions require some assumptions to be made about the distribution of the clouds within the BLR. By comparing photoionization predictions, for a distribution of cloud properties, with observed spectra we can infer something about the structure of the BLR and distribution of clouds. I use existing reverberation mapping data to constrain the structure of the BLR by observing how individual line strengths and ratios of different lines change in high and low luminosity states.  I will present my initial constraints and discuss the challenges associated with the method.

description: Chitinozoan investigations on the late Middle to early Late Ordovician in South China are limited. Documented chitinozoan occurrences are mainly from the Miaopo Formation on the Upper Yangtze Platform. The present study reports new data from the Miaopo Formation at the Zhenjin section in the Yichang area. In total, 13 genera and 33 species are recognised, and three new species are described: Spinachitina? coronifera sp. nov., Lagenochitina yichangella sp. nov. and Pellichitina confragosa sp. nov. The Baltoscandian index species, Laufeldochitina striata, is documented in the lowermost part of the formation. This is the first report of this species in South China. The L. striata Biozone is suggested for the basal part of the formation due to the presence of the eponymous species. The index species of the Laufeldochitina stentor Biozone, the Armoricochitina granulifera and Cyathochitina megacalix subzones adopted in the Jieling section, are also observed in the Zhenjin section. However, according to the new data obtained at Zhenjin, the first appearance datum of C. megacalix and A. granulifera coincides with that of L. striata. Therefore, the C. megacalix Subzone is kept but moved to the L. striata Biozone. Armoricochitina granulifera has stable occurrences in almost the entire Miaopo Formation, corresponding to the Nemagraptus gracilis graptolite biozone. It is slightly older than Baltic records but could be useful for recognising this time interval in South China.

Talk Less, Teach More: Tactics for Converting from Lecture Courses to Active Courses

Subjects: active learning; collaborative learning; experiential learning; team-based learning; student engagement; critical thinking; creativity;

description: Evolving from a lecturer, a "sage on the stage," to an active learning
guide, is hard. Especially if you've lectured for more than 25 years.
Especially if you like to talk. Especially if you give "engaging and
exciting" lectures. I have recently used perseverance, resilience, and
more than a small dose of stubbornness to push myself to "talk less, teach
more." I've made progress but I'm still working on it. In the first
part of this talk, I will explain why I realized this change is necessary. I
will describe many reasons why this was hard for me and may be hard for you.
I will use general principles to explain how I am making this transition.

During the second part of this talk, I will share specific tactics from my
own classes that help "activate" problem solving courses,
skills-oriented courses, design courses, and analysis courses. For example,
instead of doing what I traditionally would have done (such as solving
problems for them, showing them case study examples, talking for an hour), I
employ tactics to engage students (such as students trying to solve problems
before I share solutions, students finding their own examples). One or more
of these tactics could help with almost any type of course. The session will
conclude with a brainstorming session where we will discuss how active
exercises could be incorporated into your classes with minimal effort.
Participants will develop the ability to create interesting active exercises
for their own courses.

Hamlet (RSC, 2016) and representations of diasporic blackness

description: In 2016 Paapa Essiedu, a British actor of Ghanaian ancestry, starred as Hamlet in Simon Godwin’s lauded Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) production, set in a post-colonial African state whose non-specificity nonetheless irritated some reviewers. We contend, however, that the production mixed multiple referents of blackness (Eastern African, West African, Caribbean, South African, 1970s African American) in order deliberately to create an imaginary post-colonial domain where these different kinds of diasporic blackness engaged with each other through the figure of Hamlet and his art. We therefore examine how the concept of race changes with the transatlantic or transnational movement among spaces in this production.
Teaching Strategies to Promote Imagination and Creativity Through Student Choice

Subjects: teaching online; creativity

description: High-agency learning activities empower students to take more active roles in their own learning, directed by their interests, curiosities, and choices. Educators, particularly K-12, have long asserted that student choice of learning activities encourages a greater degree of personal engagement with instructional content, leading to more confident, interested, imaginative, and creative students (e.g., Kohn, 1993; Ronan, 2015).Â  However, implementing these strategies at the college level often proves challenging as course instructors merge learner engagement strategies, such as student choice, while still sufficiently addressing course objectives and content. Additionally, creating Â supportive classroom environments that promote â€œopen-endedâ€ assignments at times are met with student resistance. This session is designed to provide ideas and tips to instructors wishing to employ student choice to enhance active learning, imagination, and creativity in their courses.Â  Presenters will share best practices for implementing student choice in learning activities and assignments, primarily using examples from asynchronous and synchronous online courses across various disciplines at George Mason University. We also will encourage participants to reflect on how learning activities and assignments in their own courses might be adapted to include student choice to promote imagination and creativity in university-level learning across course delivery formats.

description: The swift and accurate detection of canine injuries is crucial for timely medical intervention and enhancing public safety. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of three image classification models—Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Random Forest, and Support Vector Machines (SVM)— for detecting injuries in dogs. Utilizing a meticulously curated dataset of over 2000 images, the research emphasizes robust data gathering, cleaning, and preprocessing techniques. Experimental results reveal that CNN outperforms with an accuracy of 75.78%, followed closely by Random Forest and SVM. The findings highlight the strengths and limitations of each model, offering valuable insights into their applicability in real-world scenarios. This research underscores the potential of advanced machine learning models in promoting animal welfare and lays a foundation for further advancements in the field of computer vision applications in veterinary care.
