Mindful Virtue, Mindful Reverence, Ursula Goodenough, Paul Woodruff
Mindful Virtue, Mindful Reverence, Ursula Goodenough, Paul Woodruff
Biology Faculty Publications & Presentations
How does one talk about moral thought and moral action as a religious naturalist? We explore this question by considering two human capacities: the capacity for mindfulness, and the capacity for virtue. We suggest that mindfulness is deeply enhanced by an understanding of the scientific worldview and that the four cardinal virtues—courage, fairmindedness, humaneness, and reverence—are rendered coherent by mindful reflection. We focus on the concept of mindful reverence and propose that the mindful reverence elicited by the evolutionary narrative is at the heart of religious naturalism. Religious education, we suggest, entails the cultivation of mindful virtue, in ourselves and …
Packet Scheduling For Link-Sharing And Quality Of Service Support In Wireless Local Area Networks, Lars Wischhof, John W. Lockwood
Packet Scheduling For Link-Sharing And Quality Of Service Support In Wireless Local Area Networks, Lars Wischhof, John W. Lockwood
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
The growing deployment of wireless local area networks (WLANs) in corporate environments, the increasing number of wireless Internet service providers and demand for quality of service support create a need for controlled sharing of wireless bandwidth. In this technical report a method for using long-term channel-state information in order to control the sharing of wireless bandwidth is studied. The algorithm enables an opera-tor of a WLAN to equalize the revenue/cost for each customer in the network and to control the link-sharing based on a combination of user-centric and operator-centric fact-tors. As an example, we adapt one of the well-know wireline …

Genomes, Gould, And Emergence, Ursula Goodenough
Biology Faculty Publications & Presentations
The publication of the human genome has elicited commentary to the effect that, since fewer genes were identified than anticipated, it follows that genes are less important to human biology than anticipated. The flaws in this syllogism are explained in the context of a treatise on how genomes operate and evolve and how genes function to produce embryos and brains. Most of our most cherished human traits are the result of the emergence of new properties from preexisting genetically scripted ideas, offering countless opportunities to celebrate the evolutionary process.

Terabit Burst Switching, Jonathan S. Turner
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
This report summarizes progress on Washington University's Terabit Burst Switching Project, supported by DARPA and Rome Air Force Laboratory. This project seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of Burst Switching, a new data communication service which can more effectively exploit the large bandwidths becoming available in WDM transmission systems, than conventional communication technologies like ATM and IP-based packet switching. Burst switching systems dynamically assign data bursts to channels in optical data links, using routing information carried in parallel control channels. The project will lead to the construction of a demonstration switch with throughput exceeding 200 Gb/s and scalable to over 10 …
A Heat-Shock-Activated Cdna Encoding Gaga Factor Rescues Some Lethal Mutations In The Drosophila Melanogaster Trithorax-Like Gene, H Granok, B Leibovitch, Sarah C.R. Elgin
A Heat-Shock-Activated Cdna Encoding Gaga Factor Rescues Some Lethal Mutations In The Drosophila Melanogaster Trithorax-Like Gene, H Granok, B Leibovitch, Sarah C.R. Elgin
Biology Faculty Publications & Presentations
GAGA factor is an important chromosomal protein involved in establishing specific nucleosome arrays and in regulating gene transcription in Drosophila melanogaster. We developed a transgenic system for controlled heat-shock-dependent overexpression of the GAGA factor 519 amino acid isoform (GAGA-519) in vivo. Efficient production of stable protein from these transgenes provided genetic rescue of a hypomorphic Trithorax-like (Trl) lethal allele to adulthood. Nevertheless, supplemental GAGA-519 did not suppress position effect variegation (PEV), a phenomenon commonly used to measure dosage effects of chromosomal proteins, nor did it rescue other lethal alleles of Trl. The results suggest requirements for the additional isoforms of …
Juno: A Framework For Reconciling Scheduling Disciplines, Angelo Corsaro
Juno: A Framework For Reconciling Scheduling Disciplines, Angelo Corsaro
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Scheduling problems arise each time there is some form of resource contention. The problem addressed by scheduling disciplines is that of ordering the access to contended resources. The ordering is typically based on either (1) properties that are exposed by the entities that compete for the resource (like a deadline), or by (2) external properties (like the arrival order), or (3) a combination of both. In literature there exist many different scheduling algorithms, each of which has certain properties and an associated application domain. All these scheduling disciplines are based on the assumption that all the entities that com-pete for …

Strategies For Creating Mis Technology To Improve Social Work Practice And Research, Elizabeth Johnson, James Hinterlong, Michael Sherraden
Strategies For Creating Mis Technology To Improve Social Work Practice And Research, Elizabeth Johnson, James Hinterlong, Michael Sherraden
Center for Social Development Research
This paper illustrates the potential for management information system (MIS) technology to integrate information collection, management and reporting within a single program or network of organizations. Properly devised and created, MIS applications improve administration, service delivery and practice evaluation. Three strategies are offered to guide the design and development of MIS software. This paper is based on lessons from the production and implementation of MIS software that serves as a management and evaluation tool for a nationwide policy demonstration. Data from the MIS have helped to shape state and federal policy.

Center for Social Development Research
Effective community development requires the establishment of links among multiple organizations and institutions. How well the network functions depend on the specificity and accuracy of the information exchanged. In this paper, we illustrate how the introduction of a management information system (MIS) to a network of economic development programs across the United States meets the diverse information needs of the multiple members and standardizes their communication. We discuss how the MIS, as a tool for community development, supports the collection and flow of information among network members, leading to expansion of the network. The success of this MIS-enhanced network is …

Women, Microfinance, And Savings: Lessons And Proposals, Rebecca Vonderlack, Mark Schreiner
Center for Social Development Research
Microfinance—both credit and savings—has potential to improve the well-being of poor women in developing countries. This paper explores practical ways to achieve that potential. Based on lessons from informal saving mechanisms that women already use, the paper proposes two savings services designed to address the development issues that confront women. The proposals call for safe-deposit boxes and for matched savings accounts for health care or education.

Poverty is associated with negative health outcomes, including depression. Little is known about the specific elements of poverty that contribute to depression, particularly among African- American women at risk for type 2 diabetes. This study examined the relationships of economic and social resources to depression among African-American women at high risk for the development of type 2 diabetes (N=181) using the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory as a conceptual framework. Women were assessed at three time points in conjunction with a dietary change intervention. At baseline, 40% of women reported clinically significant depression and 43.3% were below the poverty line. …
