Sites of Inscription: Writing In and Against Post-Plantation Geographies

Subjects: African Americans

description: “Sites of Inscription” argues that creative works allow us to trace black epistemologies of space and time in the United States. Reading works of literature and art from the 19th century to the present, I trace how black people have creatively mis-used, reimagined, and transformed the spatial technologies of the plantation and its geographic afterlife. My project specifically asks how the “literary” in black literary geographies reveals and preserves black spatial praxes in ways that exceed the capacities of dominant modes of Western spatial representation such as conventional maps, blueprints or land surveys. Each chapter considers literary form in particular to be intimately related to the production and representation of space by black people—both as ways of expressing the experience of living under spatial technologies of racialized management, enclosure and exploitation, and as ways of expressing resistance to these technologies and the underwriting epistemologies they reproduce. Employing a palimpsestic practice of reading, I gather texts written across periods but which cohere around a single spatial formation that stages the tensions of (post)plantation geographies—fences, city blocks, apartments, and rooftops. Reading works by W.E.B. Du Bois, Frederick Douglass, and Zora Neale Hurston, I consider the relationship between writing and enclosure in the South during and immediately after slavery. Moving North and into the 20th century, I consider representations of the city block in work by Romare Bearden, Tonya Foster, and Langston Hughes. The art of apartment living in Chicago is explored through readings of Kerry James Marshall and Gwendolyn Brooks. I conclude on the rooftop, where Claude Brown, Piri Thomas, and Faith Ringgold document its creative re-production. All four chapters explore the impact of these radical acts of counter-planning, and efforts to represent them, on literary form and genre—concluding that formal experimentations are precisely what allow literature and visual art to archive these fugitive and fleeting engagements with space.

Stochastic and Boltzmann-like models for behavioral changes, and their relation to game theory

description: In the last decade, stochastic models have shown to be very useful for quantitative modelling of social processes. Here, a configurational master equation for the description of behavioral changes by pair interactions of individuals is developed. Three kinds of social pair interactions are distinguished: Avoidance processes, compromising processes, and imitative processes. Computational results are presented for a special case of imitative processes: the competition of two equivalent strategies. They show a phase transition that describes the selforganization of a behavioral convention. This phase transition is further analyzed by examining the equations for the most probable behavioral distribution, which are Boltzmann-like equations. Special cases of Boltzmann-like equations do not obey the H-theorem and have oscillatory or even chaotic solutions. A suitable Taylor approximation leads to the socalled game dynamical equations (also known as selection-mutation equations in the theory of evolution).

description: A multi-scale study of solute release, transport, and attenuation mechanisms in waste rock under neutral drainage conditions is underway at the open-pit Cu-Zn-Mo Antamina mine in the Peruvian Andes. The objectives of the project are to better understand the mechanisms that control the fate of elements of concern, principally Zn, Mo, Cu, and As, and to develop field- and laboratory-derived scale-up relationships that provide a framework for prediction of waste-rock drainage quality at field scales and over long times. Five 36 m x 36 m x 11 m high instrumented experimental waste-rock piles have been constructed on site to provide insight into the hydrological and geochemical behavior of distinct combinations of waste rock under field conditions. Field cells constructed from 60 L barrels provide data on leaching behavior of the distinct rock types. Our results allow us to constrain the water balance, demonstrate that mixing of distinct waste-rock types may enhance attenuation of Zn and Mo in drainage and suggest that sulfide mineral oxidation may become O₂-limited in fine-grained reactive material.[All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]

Free particle scattering off two oscillating disks

description: We investigate the two-dimensional classical dynamics of the scattering of point particles by two periodically oscillating disks. The dynamics exhibits regular and chaotic scattering properties, as a function of the initial conditions and parameter values of the system. The energy is not conserved since the particles can gain and loose energy from the collisions with the disks. We find that for incident particles whose velocity is on the order of the oscillating disk velocity, the energy of the exiting particles displays non-monotonic gaps of allowed energies, and the distribution of exiting particle velocities shows significant fluctuations in the low energy regime. We also considered the case when the initial velocity distribution is Gaussian, and found that for high energies the exit velocity distribution is Gaussian with the same mean and variance. When the initial particle velocities are in the irregular regime the exit velocity distribution is Gaussian but with a smaller mean and variance. The latter result can be understood as an example of stochastic cooling. In the intermediate regime the exit velocity distribution differs significantly from Gaussian. A comparison of the results presented in this paper to previous chaotic static scattering problems is also discussed.

description: Scientific literacy entails mastery of basic scientific thinking practices. Rather than focus attention exclusively on students’ acquisition of science content knowledge, students should be engaged in the practice of science in order to support development of the critical thinking skills essential to scientific work. Previous research (Kuhn et al., 2017) has demonstrated the advancement of high-school students’ scientific reasoning and understanding of the nature of science following participation in a problem-based inquiry activity based on a socio-scientific issue. The present research investigates whether superior maintenance and transfer of scientific practices and understandings occur when students engage in investigations involving multiple such issues, including one of particular personal relevance for the population of students who participated. The intervention employed in the current work is the same one as in the study by Kuhn et al. (2017). However, in this study 84 ninth-grade students were assigned to one of three intervention groups who addressed different topics in a classroom activity that took place over five sessions of eighty minutes each. One group (the Astronaut group) addressed a neutral topic. The second group (the Asthma group) addressed a personally relevant topic. The third group addressed both of these topics. Students worked in pairs in a guided problem-based investigation to identify relations between multiple factors and an outcome. Students’ investigations began with comparisons of individual data points, and then proceeded to comparison of entire samples depicted graphically in Inspire Data, a data analysis tool for beginners. Thirty days following completion of the intervention, students were assessed on their ability to design controlled comparisons, to coordinate the effects of multiple-variables on an outcome, and to understand principles of scientific method. Results showed no statistically significant differences across groups in the maintenance and transfer of skills; the development of an experimental design, counterargument, and selection of informative evidence, although all groups showed gains compared to an earlier non-intervention group (Kuhn et al., 2017). However, the third multiple-topic group showed superior performance to the first two groups, in particular with respect to the understanding of multiple causes contributing to an outcome. These results suggest that the relevance of content and provision of multiple contexts to apply skills and understandings can enhance the development of science skills and understandings and aid in understanding their real-life relevance.

description: In this paper we study spin-2 excitations for a class of $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetric solutions of type-IIA supergravity found by Gaiotto and Maldacena. The mass spectrum of these excitations can be derived by solving a second order partial differential equation. As specific examples of this class we consider the Abelian and non-Abelian T-dual versions of the $AdS_5 \times S^5$ and we study the corresponding mass spectra. For the modes that do not "feel" the (non-)Abelian T-duality transformation we provide analytic formulas for the masses, while for the rest we were only able to derive the spectra numerically. The numerical values that correspond to large masses are compared with WKB approximate formulas. We also find a lower bound for the masses. Finally, we study the field theoretical implications of our results and propose dual spin-2 operators.

description: This study attempts to document the process of change in an example of cognitive behavior therapy conducted as part of larger research project in the effectiveness of this approach with parents having a potential for child abuse. One example of therapy was chosen for in depth analysis using a discourse analysis approach based on that of Labov and Fanshel (1977). Tape-recordings of the eight meetings between the client and the therapist--six therapy sessions, and two additional sessions to administer a pre and post test questionnaire required by the larger study--were transcribed. Selected segments of these transcripts were subjected to a microanalysis, the aim of which was to identify evidence of therapeutic change.

Although the client did not follow the therapist in every respect, considerable evidence was found of a process of change--which began prior to the first therapy session with the research oriented questionnaire session and ended with the final questionnaire session. Certain moments in the dialogue, which occurred in nearly every session, were especially significant in revealing change. Through the sessions, a process was identified in which the client adopts, but also adapts ideas put forward by the therapist.
Effective Use Of Dry Erase Boards/Walls In Active Learning Spaces

Year: 2019

description: Location: JC Room G With the age of digital revolution, institutions of higher education have to constantly come up with meaningful ways to engage students in learning within the classroom using traditional or dry erase boards. To successfully accomplish this, we must learn to make the classroom place of teaching both academic and social; to make the profession of teaching both instruction and facilitation and; to make the role of students not just as consumers of education but producers of information. Taking advantage of physical resources, such as a writable whiteboard space can provide us an unobtrusive way to engage with students while also offering a way to understand their use of the physical space. The goal of this teaching activity is to engage the participants in a quick teaching activity showcase whereby we can not only learn together and share best practices to enhance our pedagogical practices but also support 21st century thinking in the material classroom. Through a shared experience we hope to engage the participants in this session in an inquiry-based approach to problem solving. Come and learn how one can use the dry erase boards effectively to engage student learning.

description: We report the first observation of an azimuthal asymmetry in the hard electroproduction of real photons with respect to the charge of the incoming lepton beam. The asymmetry is attributed to the interference between the Bethe-Heitler process and the deeply-virtual Compton scattering process, which gives access to the latter at the amplitude level. This process appears to be the theoretically cleanest way to access generalized parton distributions. The data have been accumulated by the HERMES experiment at DESY, scattering the HERA 27.6 GeV electron/positron beam off an unpolarized hydrogen gas target.

description: A field study is on-going at the Diavik Diamond Mine, NT, Canada, to examine at several spatial scales the hydrologic, geochemical, microbiologic, gas transport, and heat transport mechanisms that control drainage water quality. Data sets on volumetric moisture content within a 15 m high waste rock pile (test pile), estimated using time domain reflectrometry (TDR), and discharge at the base of the test pile are presented to characterize the seasonal wetting of the test pile, freeze-thaw cycles within the test pile, and the discharge cycle at the base of an uncovered test pile. Differences in the dielectric properties of ice and water enable the propagation of freezethaw fronts to be recorded via TDR. A spatially uniform initial wetting of the matrix material throughout the test pile was recorded. Moisture contents following the initial wetting phase suggest that the matrix fraction has saturation values exceeding 0.8. Outflow from the test pile follows an annual cycle that is controlled by snowmelt infiltration on the batters, and the movement of thaw front into the core of the test pile.[All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]

description: “Skeletal Testimony: Bony Biopolitics in the Early Atlantic” argues that colonial descriptions of Indigenous remains throughout the Atlantic World compose two archives: textual representations and physical remains. Because these remains explicitly demonstrate a relationship between embodied life and writing, they enable analysis of how settler writers depicted them and how Indigenous communities care for them. Emphasizing these moments through what I term “skeletal testimony,” I ask the question: what care resulted in the appearance of these remains, and how does this recognition change how we read these texts? Examining reports, histories, natural histories, speeches, poems, and engravings from New England through Suriname, I establish how colonial authors used formalized conventions of natural history empiricism and firsthand narration to represent Indigenous remains as collectible bones, often citing and reproducing one another’s work throughout the eighteenth-century Anglophone colonies. These descriptions figure remains as arising naturally and spontaneously from the landscape, enabling colonists to claim land and histories as they erase living Indigenous persons from these spaces. However, without pointed and prolonged physical care, many of these remains would have disappeared. By identifying the tension between this physical preservation and textual descriptions, I contend that these remains always attest to communities and carework, constituting a structural grounding to colonial texts, even as they attempt to obscure such relations. This emphasis in turn facilitates “narrative repatriation,” in which these narratives can be formally and thematically returned from colonial texts to ongoing histories of Indigenous life, a process most clearly demonstrated by formal reworkings and textual citations by Indigenous writers like William Apess. Because this reclaiming does not require political or historical recognition by colonial persons (a contrast to physical repatriation), narrative repatriation thus serves as a creative process of returning and belonging. Ultimately, “Skeletal Testimony” reckons with erasures—real and supposed—of colonial archives, providing a model for navigating settler colonial texts across the Atlantic World. I recalibrate how we do “early American literary studies” by insisting that we must always think about texts and bodies together, mobilizing this relationship to contribute to interdisciplinary conversations about how to respect Indigenous relations between the living and the dead.

Slamming Shut that Golden Gate: The Role of New Media & the Unlikely Coalitions Against Regional Planning in the San Francisco Bay Area

Subjects: Regional planning--Citizen participation

description: This paper assesses how opponents of regional planning efforts in the San Francisco Bay Area transcend political party affiliations and established coalitions through an examination of their organization strategies across digital platforms and traditional strategies. Contrary to widespread perception, Bay Area opponents to regional planning are not a monolithic, wealthy, suburban group of ‘NIMBYs,’ but instead span a broad spectrum that includes anti-gentrification and tenants’ rights advocates, libertarians, environmentalists, Tea Party members, liberal progressives, anti-globalists, and more. With the adoption of the region’s first comprehensive housing and transportation plan in 2013, Plan Bay Area, these groups have for the first time joined forces as unlikely allies to oppose the goals of regional planning; namely, transit-oriented development and proposed increases in housing supply. This paper explores these strange bedfellow coalitions — how and why they’ve banded together, and how they’ve overcome their many ideological differences to rally so effectively as united fronts against regional planning. It concludes with takeaways for practice — how planners can understand these maligned groups, engage with them non-confrontationally in public fora, and find common ground to advance regional planning while alleviating their fears and addressing their grievances.

description: Session LOCATION: George's (3rd floor of Johnson Center) As a breakout during a special featured ITL session, "Conversations about Supporting Diverse Students," we address the question, "How can faculty create a mindful, gender-inclusive learning environment for all learners in their courses?" A person's gender identity -- as a woman, man, non-binary, or none of the above -- may or may not correspond to their sex/gender assignment at birth. Discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression is prohibited by policies from federal (Title IX, Executive Order 13672) to campus scales (e.g., George Mason University Policy 1202). Faculty also have numerous creative ways to proactively include students of all genders. A welcoming classroom provides all of its learners the opportunity to develop and express their gender, while respecting that identities may be latent, emergent or manifest as well as static, transitioning, or fluid throughout the term of the course. How can faculty create a mindful, gender-inclusive learning environment for all learners in their courses? First and foremost, we need to understand what gender is and how it is distinct from sex assigned at birth or (romantic and/or sexual) orientation. Next, we must practice and use appropriate vocabulary and strategies to acknowledge and respect each individual learner's gender identity. For instance, soliciting chosen names instead of dead names on studentsâ name placards or inviting inclusion of oneâs "pronouns" during self-introductions (e.g., they/them, she/her, he/him, ey/em, ze/hir, etc.). Finally, we should challenge ourselves to incorporate gender diversity into our pedagogy. This can be achieved by actively including various gender perspectives through case studies, role models, and guest lectures -- and by creating spaces, lesson plans, and activities that offer students opportunities to share and affirm one another's gender identity as intrinsic to each person's whole identity. Our session will feature a joint faculty, staff, and student team providing insights, illustrations, guidance, lessons, and resources to support your pursuit of more gender-inclusive learning in your teaching, advising, and community discourse. We will also allocate ample time to facilitated discussion, inquiry, and experience sharing among session participants of all gender identities.

description: We study polystable Higgs bundles twisted by a line bundle over a compact Kähler manifold. These form a Tannakian category when the first and second Chern classes of the bundle are zero. In this paper we identify the corresponding Tannaka group in the case in which the line bundle is of finite order. This group is described in terms of the pro-reductive completion of the fundamental group of the manifold, and the character associated to the line bundle.

description: Location: Dewberry Hall As Mason grows fully-online undergraduate and graduate programs, faculty who teach their online courses may face challenges in motivating students. As an online instructor, you may find that some of your students appear unmotivated, falling behind, and not actively participating in the online course. To support student learning and student success, itâs critical to make sure that your online students stay on task, participate in the online course, and actively engage in the learning community that you create for learners in your online course. In my poster, I will provide tips, strategies & best practices which may be used to foster motivation in online students, based on the MUSIC® Model of Motivation (Jones 2009; Jones 2018). This model was developed by Dr. Brett D. Jones (Virginia Tech) as a research-based motivation model to help instructors identify strategies to motivate learners. MUSIC® is an acronym for the five key principles of the model: eMpowerment, Usefulness, Success, Interest, and Caring. The MUSIC® Model recently has been used to study motivation and persistence in online education, particularly for adult learners (Lucey, 2018). Guided by the MUSIC® Model of Motivation, you may design-- and teach-- your online course to foster student motivation. In my poster presentation, I will share a brief overview of the MUSIC® Model, and focus on specific examples of strategies and best practices (which are guided by the MUSIC® Model) that you may use to motivate your online students in fully-online courses.

Skirting the Issue: Interweaving Dress into Sociopolitical Histories

Women's studies

description: This thesis seeks to provide the social history that brought about such voices as
[Steedman’s mother’s] in post-war Britain, through the analysis of dress that such women
wore and aspired to purchase following the end of the war. As the shoppers and makers
for their families, working class women like [Steedman’s mother], especially felt the
restrictions imposed by austerity measures and government policies. I argue a deeper
understanding of how these citizens, who had generally supported the Labour
government during the war, came to vote for the Conservative party following the end of
the Second World War, can be reached by examining clothing in the same manner in
which historians analyze critical texts. Because, even before citizens could use the 1951
elections to punish the Labour party for its failure to deliver the better Britain it had
promised during the war, British working class women had already taken a stance:

description: We study the behaviour on rearrangement-invariant spaces of such classical operators of interest in harmonic analysis as the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator (including the fractional version), the Hilbert and Stieltjes transforms, and the Riesz potential. The focus is on sharpness questions, and we present characterisations of the optimal domain (or range) partner spaces when the range (domain) is fixed. When a rearrangement-invariant partner space exists at all, a complete characterisation of the situation is given. We illustrate the results with a variety of examples of sharp particular results involving customary function spaces.

The Use of Generalized Information Dimension in Measuring Fractal Dimension of Time Series
Creators: name: Ashkenazy, Yosef
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An algorithm for calculating generalized fractal dimension of a time series using the general information function is presented. The algorithm is based on a strings sort technique and requires $O(N \log_2 N)$ computations. A rough estimate for the number of points needed for the fractal dimension calculation is given. The algorithm was tested on analytic example as well as well-known examples, such as, the Lorenz attractor, the Rossler attractor, the van der Pol oscillator, and the Mackey-Glass equation, and compared, successfully, with previous results published in the literature. The computation time for the algorithm suggested in this paper is much less then the computation time according to other methods.

description: Location: JC Room F Service and experiential learning activities help students understand the sociocultural context within course curriculum via a hands-on approach that gives course assignments individual meaning and engages the learner to want to discover, contribute to, and improve the world around them. Although the University offers numerous global and community-based learning through certain study abroad and alternative break courses, these opportunities may not always be reachable for some students or as frequent for others. By pairing these unique opportunities with those experiential activities offered in weekly courses, students are more often able to feel impactful within their community and in a global context. Understanding that their learning in tangibly connected to real-world problems that need further engagement and/or solutions, students may be feel more invested in their coursework, as they can see how it is connected to the world around them and perhaps additional purpose to their degree.

description: We place statistical constraints on Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors using 227 nebular phase spectra of 111 SNe Ia. We find no evidence of stripped companion emission in any of the nebular phase spectra. Upper limits are placed on the amount of mass that could go undetected in each spectrum using recent hydrodynamic simulations. With these null detections, we place an observational $3σ$ upper limit on the fraction of SNe Ia that are produced through the classical H-rich non-degenerate companion scenario of < 5.5%. Additionally, we set a tentative $3σ$ upper limit on He star progenitor scenarios of < 6.4%, although further theoretical modelling is required. These limits refer to our most representative sample including normal, 91bg-like, 91T-like, and "Super Chandrasekhar" \sne but excluding SNe Iax and SNe Ia-CSM. As part of our analysis, we also derive a Nebular Phase Phillips Relation, which approximates the brightness of a SN Ia from $150-500$~days after maximum using the peak magnitude and decline rate parameter $Δm_{15} (B)$.

Slave Mode Expansion for Obtaining Ab Initio Interatomic Potentials and its Applications
Creators: Ai, Xinyuan
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Physics

description: Having an interatomic potential overcomes limitations within DFT since it has a negligible cost in computing material properties while DFT is severely restricted by its computational cost when carrying out such tasks. In this thesis, we propose a new approach for creating an interatomic potential based on the Taylor series expansion of the crystal energy as a function of its nuclear displacements. We enlarge the dimensionality of the existing displacement space and form new variables (ie. slave modes) which transform like irreducible representations of the point group and satisfy homogeneity of free space. Standard group theoretical techniques can then be applied to deduce the non-zero expansion coefficients a priori. At a given order, the translation group can be used to contract the products and eliminate terms which are not linearly independent, resulting in a final set of slave mode products. By the end of the day, one ends up with an expansion that satisfies lattice symmetry and its number of coefficients is much smaller than that of a common Taylor series expansion. While the expansion coefficients can be computed in a variety of ways, we demonstrate that finite difference is effective up to fifth order. On the other hand, we demonstrate the power of the method in the strongly anharmonic systems PbTe and graphene. All anharmonic terms within an octahedron are computed up to fourth order for PbTe, while those within a hexagon are computed up to fourth order and dimer terms are computed at fifth order for graphene. In addition, for PbTe, a proper unitary transformation of its potential demonstrates that the vast majority of the anharmonicity can be attributed to just two terms, indicating that a minimal model of phonon interactions is achievable. The ability to straightforwardly generate polynomial potentials will allow precise simulations at length and time scales which were previously unrealizable.
