“Nothing Is More Sacred Than the Liberation of Black People:” Albert Cleage’s Method as Unfulfilled Theological Paradigm Shift in Black Theology
Creators: name: Clark, Jawanza Eric
Publisher: name: Black Theology Papers Project
Year: 2019

description: I argue that Albert Cleage offers an alternative theological methodology that is worthy of reexamination and engagement in Black theology. His central tenet that “nothing is more sacred than the liberation of black people,” reflects a pragmatic theological method that is guided by the lived experiences of everyday Black people in America. In this way, it differs from academic Black theology, because it does not seek validation within the academy or conform to theology’s presumed universal imperative. Cleage’s approach is practical, malleable, and adaptable to the current situation of black people in America making it as relevant now as ever.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The current practice of unstructured preoperative teaching for elective cesarean section patients' lacks instructions on mobility. The aim of this quasi experimental study was to determine if the independent variable (preoperative structured teaching) enabled patients to have higher scores for mobility (dependent variable) than the control group. Study subjects were 128 women equally divided into an experimental and control group. Findings: The experimental group performed more breathing, coughing and leg exercises through out the three days. They also turned more than the control group on the operative day and the first post operative day; sat up in bed more often on the operative day and ambulated to toilet more often on the second post operative day (p=<0.05). Conclusion: Although there was no difference for activities like standing, sitting on chair, walking and attending to the newborn, the null hypothesis was rejected based on scores for selective exercises daily, daily total scores as well as the three day cumulative scores. The hypothesis that there will be a difference in scores between patients who received structured preoperative teaching than those who did not receive structured preoperative teaching was accepted. The Demographic characteristics as well as past and present history did not influence the respondents' behaviors.

description: This basic research aimed to detect the inner-correlation of EGF containing fibulin extracellular matrix protein 1 (EFEMP1), TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 3 (TIMP3), matrix metalloprotease 9 (MMP9), elastin (ELN) in direct inguinal hernia (IH), and their effect on fibroblasts motility. Transversalis fascia samples from 20 direct IH patients and 20 varicocele (served as controls) patients were collected for detecting EFEMP1, TIMP3, MMP9 and ELN expressions by immunohistochemistry assay. Fibroblasts L929 cells were transfected with EFEMP1 overexpression plasmid or knock-down plasmid to investigate the influence of EFEMP1 dysregulation on L929 cell migration, invasion, TIMP3, MMP9 and ELN expressions. Additionally, rescue experiments were performed by adding TIMP3 knockdown plasmid to the EFEMP1-overexpressed L929 cells. Transversalis fascia EFEMP1, TIMP3 and ELN expressions were decreased, but MMP9 expression was increased in IH patients compared with controls. In IH patients, EFEMP1 was not correlated with TIMP3, but positively correlated with ELN and negatively correlated with MMP9; TIMP3 negatively correlated with MMP9, but positively correlated with ELN. Overexpression of EFEMP1 did not affect TIMP3 expression but increased ELN expression and decreased MMP9 expression in L929 cells. In addition, EFEMP1 suppressed L929 cell migration and invasion. The following rescue experiments indicated that silencing TIMP3 attenuated the effect of EFEMP1 overexpression on MMP9 and ELN expressions as well as the effect of EFEMP1 overexpression on cell migration and invasion in L929 cells. EFEMP1 is downregulated in direct IH, and it regulates ELN homoeostasis as well as fibroblast mobility via interacting with TIMP3.
Constructing and Circulating Black Madonnas as Black Power: Charting the Aesthetic and Cultural Influence of Shrine of the Black Madonna, #1
Creators: name: Harvey, Melanee
Publisher: name: Black Theology Papers Project
Year: 2019

description: From his pulpit, Albert B. Cleage Jr. weighed in on a controversy, boldly asserting, “Jesus was a Black Messiah born to a black woman. The pictures of the Black Madonna which are all over the world did not all turn black through some mysterious accident.” This statement exemplifies the aesthetic perspective Rev. Cleage actively promoted during the 1960s and marks one aspect of his contribution to the Black Arts Movement: establishing a Christian icon as visual symbol for Black Power. Dialoging with Black Art Movement figures such as Amiri Baraka and Elridge Cleaver, Cleage and the Shrine of the Black Madonna remains absent from art histories, despite the fact that they were active participants in shaping this Black Arts Movement history.

description: In gratitude for my great-grandmothers, stolen from me by white supremacy and colonization, I offer this reflection on the connection between Yorubá and Black/Womanist theologies. It is through a lived understanding of Axé that I have found my roots and the connection to both my Latinidad and my Blackness. In this paper I consider the possibilities of a dialogue between Candomblé, a Yorubá related African Brazilian tradition, and Black and Womanist theologies in the US, trying to go along with several people who have been expanding this relation, like Dianne M. Stewart’s “Three Eyes for the Journey,” Tracey E. Hucks’ “Yoruba Traditions and African American Religious Nationalism,” and our precious Monica Coleman’s “Making a Way Out of No Way.”

description: We introduce a modified Jaynes-Cummings model with single-photon cavity radiation field but with the atomic system instead of exchanging a single photon as in the Jaynes-Cummings model, it exchanges instead a squeezed photon. After a unitary transformation and requiring the decoupling of the spin up from the spin down, we diagonalize the resulting Hamiltonian via a Bogoliubov transformation. This allows to determine the energy eigenvalues for the quantum Rabi model. We obtain the energy eigenvalues albeit for the asymmetric Rabi model in the limit of large coupling strength, where it approaches the symmetric Rabi model energy eigenvalues.

description: This article describes experimental research studies conducted towards understanding the implementation aspects of high-capacity quantum-secured optical channels in mission-critical metro-scale operational environments using Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that an 800 Gbps quantum-secured optical channel -- along with several other Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed (DWDM) channels on the C-band and multiplexed with the QKD channel on the O-band -- was established at distances up to 100 km, with secret key-rates relevant for practical industry use cases. In addition, during the course of these trials, transporting a blockchain application over this established channel was utilized as a demonstration of securing a financial transaction in transit over a quantum-secured optical channel. The findings of this research pave the way towards the deployment of QKD-secured optical channels in high-capacity, metro-scale, mission-critical operational environments, such as Inter-Data Center Interconnects.

Living Beyond Death
Creators: name: McGee, Timothy
Publisher: name: Black Theology Papers Project
Year: 2018

description: In the 1997 preface to this remarkable book, James Cone criticizes his original Christological emphasis, stating, “No one people’s language and experience are capable of capturing the full reality and presence of God” (xiv). Christology, in this modality of capture, becomes a strategy of grounding, that is, of situating a particular cultural formation in and as the divinely instituted form of human life, as the origin and goal. Christology as a mode of capture is a regulative discourse, and as such, another imposition of limits, another way to securely hold, to place in (the) hold, the diffuse mobilities and relations that are creaturely life. It would be, therefore, a Christology still in the hold of, or the hold that is, white supremacy. Cone’s concerns over theology in the mode of capture are well-founded; however, there are aspects of his earlier Christology that also elude this pretense toward capture without relying, as Cone does in 1997, on a more general dialectic of transcendence and human finitude. This paper was written and is given in honor of the 40th anniversary of James Cone’s God of the Oppressed.

description: This work focuses on the preconditioning and DC stabilization of the time domain electric field integral equation discretized in time with the convolution quadrature method. The standard formulation of the equation suffers from severe ill-conditioning for large time steps and refined meshes, in addition to DC instabilities plaguing standard solutions for late time steps. This work addresses all these issues by preconditioning the TD-EFIE operator matrices with a Calderón approach. Numerical results will corroborate the theory, showing the practical relevance of the proposed advancements.

We analyze our spectra to determine the main optical parameters and show that in this material the interband conductivity already starts around 10 meV. We determine the superfluid density to be 2.2 10^{7}$ cm^{-2}, which places optimally doped BFCA close to the Uemura line. Our experimental data shows clear signs of a superconducting gap with 2$Δ_{1}$ = 6.2 $\pm$ 0.8 meV. In addition we show that the optical spectra are consistent with the presence of an additional band of strongly scattered carriers with a larger gap, 2$Δ_{2}$ = 14 $\pm$ 2 meV.

A Womanist Interpretation of the Lukan Parable of the Great Supper (Luke 14:15-24)
Creators: name: Amen, Richetta Najuma
Publisher: name: Black Theology Papers Project
Year: 2018

description: For African American women and many others, Octavia Butler’s recontextualizations of biblical parables aid in the understanding of the biblical text. Additionally, her recontextualizations help African American women decode the oppressive reality of their own lives. As womanists, we believe that these stories of our lives have value for theological reflection. As an African American Christian womanist, I believe that my reflections lend value to the general discussion of womanist thought. Furthermore, a womanist hermeneutic, an interpretive procedure that takes seriously the everyday experiences of being African American and female in the diaspora, says that the life and ministry of Jesus is central to the theology of African American Christian women. The parables of Jesus, the primary genre of his teaching in the gospels, compel African American women and hearers to come to a decision about the person and ministry of Jesus. These parables speak on two levels: the aspects of everyday life and the reign of God. The understanding of the relationship between these two levels is reflected in parable theories.

description: Kanye West represents a myriad complex trope of issues for not just Black Theological praxis, but also for the broader study of Black people. In this post-civil rights era we, as Black people, find ourselves in a locality that is neither post-racial nor public Jim/ Jane Crowism; neither fully equal nor fully separate; not fully human yet celebrated in full, for culture and entertainment; it is an era that contains all the elements of hope and forward momentum in the symbol of what is the President of the United States and the nefarious nature of racism poignantly symbolized in Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and countless other Black lives, both male and female, lost at the hands of racism and profiling. West’s symbolism rises as a figure and presents an anomaly of sorts on a post-civil rights era. Located in Kanye is a mixture of voices; the narcissist, the pain, the disillusioned, the proud, the critical interrogator, the double standard, and even the push for a contextual pursuit and understanding of God. Kanye West. Kanye is important for three reasons: 1) in my 2011 research among Hip Hoppers and urban emerging adults, he was ranked above Tupac as a spiritual and religious figure in Hip Hop1, 2) White emerging adults have come to appreciate and love him and, have grown up on his music, and 3) Kanye is a symbol for a postcivil rights context and represents the sacred, the secular, and profane exceptionally well. This is where we must begin, at the intersections of the sacred, profane, and secular.

description: In this note, we formulate and study a Hamilton-Jacobi approach for describing thermodynamic transformations. The thermodynamic phase space assumes the structure of a contact manifold with the points representing equilibrium states being restricted to certain submanifolds of this phase space. We demonstrate that Hamilton-Jacobi theory consistently describes thermodynamic transformations on the space of externally controllable parameters or equivalently, the space of equilibrium states. It turns out that in the Hamilton-Jacobi description, the choice of the principal function is not unique but, the resultant dynamical description for a given transformation remains the same irrespective of this choice. Some examples involving thermodynamic transformations of the ideal gas are discussed where the characteristic curves on the space of equilibrium states completely describe the dynamics. The geometric Hamilton-Jacobi formulation which has emerged recently is also discussed in the context of thermodynamics.

description: Abstract
This study aims to study; 1) What are the Case Resolution Models that can be used to solve traffic accident cases that cause death?; 2) How effective is the model for solving cases of heavy traffic accidents that result in death? The research method used is empirical juridical with a legal approach, concept approach, and case studies. The results showed that; 1) Case Resolution Models that can be used to solve Traffic accident cases are: Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), Restorative Justice; 2) The settlement of traffic accident cases in Indonesia can be resolved through the criminal justice system, but in general the perpetrators hold an out-of-court peace process with the victim's family so that a peace agreement occurs between the parties. The peace model is known as the restorative justice approach model which until now has not been accommodated in laws and regulations so that law enforcement officials are hesitant to make peace agreements a consideration to stop or continue investigations. Efforts to approach restorative justice in traffic accident cases provide a sense of justice for both perpetrators and victims. However, the implementation of the termination of the investigation because a restorative justice approach has been carried out in traffic accidents cannot be carried out absolutely because there are several criteria that must be used as a benchmark in making decisions regarding investigations.
Excitation of the precessing vortex core by active flow control to suppress thermoacoustic instabilities in swirl flames

description: In this study, we apply periodic flow excitation of the precessing vortex core at the centerbody of a swirl-stabilized combustor to investigate the impact of the precessing vortex core on flame shape, flame dynamics, and especially thermoacoustic instabilities. The current control scheme is based on results from linear stability theory that determine the precessing vortex core as a global hydrodynamic instability with its maximum receptivity to open-loop actuation located near the center of the combustor inlet. The control concept is first validated at isothermal conditions. This is of utmost importance for the proceeding studies that focus on the exclusive impact of the precessing vortex core on the combustion dynamics. Subsequently, the control is applied to reacting conditions considering lean premixed turbulent swirl flames. Considering thermoacoustically stable flames first, it is shown that the actuation locks onto the precessing vortex core when it is naturally present in the flame, which allows the precessing vortex core frequency to be controlled. Moreover, the control allows the precessing vortex core to be excited in conditions where it is naturally suppressed by the flame, which yields a very effective possibility to control the precessing vortex core amplitude. The control is then applied to thermoacoustically unstable conditions. Considering perfectly premixed flames first, it is shown that the precessing vortex core actuation has only a minor effect on the thermoacoustic oscillation amplitude. However, we observe a continuous increase of the thermoacoustic frequency with increasing precessing vortex core amplitude due to an upstream displacement of the mean flame and resulting reduction of the convective time delay. Considering partially premixed flames, the precessing vortex core actuation shows a dramatic reduction of the thermoacoustic oscillation amplitude. In consideration of the perfectly premixed cases, we suspect that this is caused by the precessing vortex core-enhanced mixing of equivalence ratio fluctuations at the flame root and due to a reduction of time delays due to mean flame displacement.

description: Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NDIS) monitor a network with the aim of discerning malicious from benign activity on that network. While a wide range of approaches have met varying levels of success, most IDS's rely on having access to a database of known attack signatures which are written by security experts. Nowadays, in order to solve problems with false positive alters, correlation algorithms are used to add additional structure to sequences of IDS alerts. However, such techniques are of no help in discovering novel attacks or variations of known attacks, something the human immune system (HIS) is capable of doing in its own specialised domain. This paper presents a novel immune algorithm for application to an intrusion detection problem. The goal is to discover packets containing novel variations of attacks covered by an existing signature base.

description: Intrusion detection systems (IDS) monitor system logs and network traffic to recognize malicious activities in computer networks. Evaluating and comparing IDSs with respect to their detection accuracies is thereby essential for their selection in specific use-cases. Despite a great need, hardly any labeled intrusion detection datasets are publicly available. As a consequence, evaluations are often carried out on datasets from real infrastructures, where analysts cannot control system parameters or generate a reliable ground truth, or private datasets that prevent reproducibility of results. As a solution, we present a collection of maintainable log datasets collected in a testbed representing a small enterprise. Thereby, we employ extensive state machines to simulate normal user behavior and inject a multi-step attack. For scalable testbed deployment, we use concepts from model-driven engineering that enable automatic generation and labeling of an arbitrary number of datasets that comprise repetitions of attack executions with variations of parameters. In total, we provide 8 datasets containing 20 distinct types of log files, of which we label 8 files for 10 unique attack steps. We publish the labeled log datasets and code for testbed setup and simulation online as open-source to enable others to reproduce and extend our results.

description: At the heart of the black American Struggle for life has always been the question of the land. Land, at the most basic level, situates all human relationships with flora and fauna. My focus on Afro-Christian and Afro-Blue identities is situated by the idea that life, at its most basic level, suggests relationship to the earth. I argue three points; 1. Land should be understood as a substantive component in how we understand black identities, 2. Certain Christian binaries, particularly the Spirit/Flesh binary, does violence to blues identities that point toward deep relationships with the land, 3. The Blues as a cultural production points toward a landed cosmology that has corrective implications for how we image life theologically. In short, each of these points express a type of Blues— A Blues for the Land, Spirit/Flesh Blues and the Blues of Blues People.

description: Multicast data transfers occur in many distributed systems and applications (e.g. IPTV, Grids, content delivery networks). Because of this, efficient multicast data distribution optimization techniques are required. In the first part of this paper we present a small diameter, bounded degree, collaborative peer-to-peer multicast tree architecture, which supports dynamic node arrivals and departures making local decisions only. The architecture is fault tolerant and, at low arrival and departure rates, converges towards a theoretically optimal structure. In the second part of the paper we consider several offline data distribution optimization problems, for which we present novel and time-efficient algorithmic solutions.
Orbital pathways unify intermolecular interactions and electron transfer kinetics
Creators: name: Kellett, Cameron William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Electron transfer reactions in solution and electron transport in solid-state devices often involve electron transfer events between distinct molecules or otherwise through interfaces between disparate materials. The performance of electronic materials and redox catalysts relies in part on fast intermolecular electron transfer. The electronic coupling (HDA), between electron donors and acceptors is a crucial factor in determining the rate of electron transfer reactions, yet, among the many factors influencing intermolecular electron transfer kinetics, this property is arguably the most challenging to reliably engineer. While it is well understood that HDA can be influenced by the nature of weak intermolecular interactions between the reactants in intermolecular electron transfer reactions, universal structure-property relationships that can be applied to modulate HDA through any interaction in any situation have yet to be developed. For ground-state intermolecular electron transfer reactions, HDA of a reacting donor-acceptor pair in their reactive geometry can be approximated from the overlap integral between their frontier molecular orbitals. In this thesis, I show that this approximation can serve as a useful intuitive tool for researchers designing high-performance electronic materials. In order for a particular intermolecular interaction to increase HDA, it is necessary that the frontier molecular orbitals of the electron donor and acceptor are significantly delocalized onto the atoms involved in that reaction. Moreover, the extent to which those atoms are involved in the frontier molecular orbitals can serve as a rough quantitative predictor of the relative magnitude of HDA through those interactions. I demonstrate, through the use of this principle, how careful design of molecular electron acceptors can accelerate the rate of iodide oxidation through non-specific chalcogen-iodide interactions or through halogen bonding interactions. A surprising consequence of this research was the discovery that halogen bonds can involve not just a σ-symmetric covalent component, but a π-symmetric component as well. Experimental evidence of this π-covalency in a halogen bond and the potential implications of this discovery are discussed in the final chapters.

description: Some new unusual physical phenomena and effects associated with dielectric mesoscale particles with Mie size parameter near 10 were studied and have been discovered during the last decade. In this paper, we propose nanoholes structured wavelength-scaled dielectric cubic particle with refractive index near two, where the array of nanoholes can act as a plurality of near-field probes to simultaneously illuminate the sample surface and it has the potential of surpassing the performance of most existing nearfield imaging approaches. We also offer the concept of the single nano-structuring of a dielectric cylinder or sphere made from conventional optical materials. The choice of the diameter of the nanohole in the particle "transfers" it into the resonance mode, when the characteristics of the field localized in the shadow part of the particle are determined not by the wavelength, but by the size of the nanohole. Thus, the diameter of the focused spot at the exit from the particle can be much smaller than the solid immersion diffraction limit.

description: We present optical spectroscopic identifications of X-ray sources in ~3 square degrees of the XMM-Large Scale Structure survey (XMM-LSS), also covered by the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS), obtained with the AAOmega instrument at the Anglo Australian Telescope. In a flux limited sample of 829 point like sources in the optical band with g' 1x10^{-15}erg/cm^2/s, we observed 695 objects and obtained reliable spectroscopic identification for 489 sources, ~59% of the overall sample. We therefore increase the number of identifications in this field by a factor close to five. Galactic stellar sources represent about 15% of the total (74/489). About 55% (267/489) are broad-line Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) spanning redshifts between 0.15 and 3.87 with a median value of 1.68. The optical-to-X-ray spectral index of the broad-line AGNs is 1.47, typical of optically-selected Type I quasars and is found to correlate with the rest frame X-ray and optical monochromatic luminosities at 2 keV and 2500 angstroms respectively. Consistent with previous studies, we find alpha_ox not to be correlated with z. In addition, 32 and 116 X-ray sources are, respectively absorption and emission-line galaxies at z<0.76. From a line ratio diagnostic diagram it is found that in about 50% of these emission line galaxies, the emission lines are powered significantly by the AGN. Thirty of the XMM sources are detected at one or more radio frequencies. In addition, 24 sources have ambiguous identification: in 8 cases, two XMM sources have a single optical source within 6 arcsecs of each of them, whereas, 2 and 14 XMM sources have, respectively, 3 and 2 possible optical sources within 6 arcsecs of each of them.

Language Learning in Repeated Storytellings
Creators: name: Frantz, Kelly Katherine
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL

description: This paper uses conversation analysis (CA) to trace changes in one learner’s repair practices during a repetitive storytelling activity in an intermediate-level ESL classroom. An analysis of the learner’s phonological and grammatical repairs is guided by two questions: How are the repair sequences organized, and what changes occur in the sequences over time? By considering the impact of task repetition on a student’s linguistic performance, this study highlights CA’s analytical potential for examining learning processes during classroom activities on a highly detailed level. The findings contribute to the larger sociocultural reconceptualization of second language acquisition by demonstrating how learning occurs and is made visible during a student’s interaction with her teacher and peers.

Influence of the Environment on the Effect of Super Resonance in Mesoscale Dielectric Spheres

description: Dielectric mesoscale spheres have aroused strong interest because of their potential to localize light at deep subwavelength volume and to yield extremal internal magnetic and/or electric field enhancements. Recently, we showed that such particle could support high-order Mie resonance modes with giant field localization and enhancement. Optimizing the internal fields appears as a key challenge for enhancing wave matter interactions in dielectric mesoscale particles. However, a dielectric particle is always located in some medium, and not in a vacuum. Moreover, the question is how much the environment medium affects the internal field intensities enhancement in the super-resonance effect. Based on Mie theory we show for the first time that the presence of the environment leads to a significant decrease in the intensity of the field in the particle. Thus, the study of the effect of super-resonance becomes meaningless without taking into account the environment. However, a greater enhancement of the internal field is found for the blue-shifted Mie size parameter of the sphere when the particle, for example, is in air rather than in vacuum.

Cross-Examining English-Medium Legal Education

Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2019

description: Increasingly, English is being used as a medium of instruction in law schools around the world, even in countries that do not use English in their legal systems. This paper examines three related research questions about this phenomenon. First, it explores why these law schools are choosing to deliver law degrees in English, notwithstanding the discrepancy between the language of instruction and the languages in which local laws are written. Next, it assesses how English is actually being used in law school classrooms, and what other institutional changes appear to be occurring at the same time. Finally, it examines what, if anything, can be said about the effect that English-medium instruction may be having on student content achievement. Many elements of these research questions appear to be unanswered by research in either applied linguistics or legal education, and directions for future empirical research are therefore suggested.

Conditional inferences and predictions based on copula models
Creators: name: Pan, Shenyi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Copulas combined with univariate distributions are a flexible tool for modeling distributions beyond Gaussian. Vine copulas based on a nested sequence of trees and a sequence of bivariate copulas can be used to construct high-dimensional copula models with flexible dependence structures. A multivariate model based on vine copulas assumes that variables are observed simultaneously in a sample. The contributions of this thesis are the new conditional inference and prediction methods based on vine copulas, including: (a) conditional distribution of one variable given others, (b) conditional distribution when the response variable is right-censored, (c) conditional distribution when some explanatory variables are nominal categorical. For (a), an algorithm is developed to compute arbitrary conditional distributions of one variable given the others for cross prediction from a single joint distribution fitted by vine copulas. An existing algorithm is also modified to simulate data from a vine copula given that one variable takes extreme values. For (b), in time-to-event and survival studies, the goal is to model the right-censored response variable with the explanatory variables to obtain point and interval predictions. The existing vine copula regression methodology is extended with a censored response variable and a set of discrete or continuous explanatory variables. For (c), for a nominal variable with three or more unordered categories, there is a PMF but no CDF. For use within vine copulas, the nominal variable is either converted to an ordinal variable, or encoded as binary dummy variables, similar to other regression models. The existing vine copula regression method is extended to allow some of the explanatory variables to be binary dummy variables with positive dependence converted from nominal variables. When fitting copula models with previous settings, there can be pairs of mixed continuous-discrete variables on the edges of a vine. The existing diagnostic methods for two continuous variables are not valid, and new diagnostic methods are developed. When parametric copula families do not provide adequate fits, nonparametric copulas can be used with adaptations for mixed continuous-ordinal variables. Allowing nonparametric copulas for mixed continuous-ordinal variables can improve the performance of vine copulas when applied to conditional inference.
Systematically Improvable Generalization of Self-Interaction Corrected Density Functional Theory

description: Perdew-Zunger self-interaction correction (PZSIC) reintroduces an exact constraint to approximate density functional theory (DFT), but can paradoxically degrade performance and is not systematically improvable. We use the Adiabatic Projection formalism to derive PZSIC in terms of a reference system experiencing only electron self-interaction. Generalization introduces correlation into the reference system, systematically bridging from PZSIC to exact wavefunction theory. Minimal active spaces resolve the PZSIC paradox, accurately treating near-equilibrium and strongly-correlated systems.

Right or Wrong?

description: English language learners, and particularly recent immigrants, must negotiate not only the academic demands of American schooling, but also the social and cultural demands. In this vingette drawn from student teaching experience, the author shows how the classroom is often a site shaped by the dichotomy of right/wrong, in which students are constantly assessing the degree to which they have complied with expectations and in which there is often no space left for questions that seek answers outside of that dichotomy.

description: We were in a 5th grade classroom, working on a unit about narrative writing. Students had just completed personal narratives in which they depicted a challenging moment in their lives. The narratives were surprisingly frank and vulnerable. One student wrote about watching his baby sister being taken to China; another wrote about her dog’s death. These 11-year olds were writing about the most difficult and harrowing experiences of their young lives. I was moved, nearly to tears.

description: This paper studies various properties of the Pomeransky-Sen'kov doubly-spinning black ring spacetime. I discuss the structure of the ergoregion, and then go on to demonstrate the separability of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for null, zero energy geodesics, which exist in the ergoregion. These geodesics are used to construct geometrically motivated coordinates that cover the black hole horizon. Finally, I relate this weak form of separability to the existence of a conformal Killing tensor in a particular 4-dimensional spacetime obtained by Kaluza-Klein reduction, and show that a related conformal Killing-Yano tensor only exists in the singly-spinning case.
