Plyler V. Doe: The Education Of Undocumented Alien Schoolchildren In Texas, 1975-1982, John Powell

History Theses and Dissertations

When a Texas statute denied a free public education to those who were not citizens or legal residents of the United States, four Mexican-American families challenged the constitutionality of that statute. The Supreme Court ruled in their favor, confirming that the Equal Protection Clause protects everyone regardless of immigration status.

Improved Constraints On The Standard Model Higgs Self-Interaction Using A Search For Hh → 4b Via The Vector-Boson Fusion Production Mode At √S = 13 Tev In 126 Fb^-1 Of Data Collected By The Atlas Experiment, Christopher Milke

Physics Theses and Dissertations

A search for di-Higgs production via the Vector Boson Fusion mechanism decaying to 4 bottom quarks is performed using 126 fb−1 of data from Run 2 of ATLAS at √s = 13 TeV. The search was performed in the non-resonant regime, finding an upper bound on the production cross-section for the Standard Model VBF→HH→4b of about 200 times the Standard Model. Constraints are placed on both the HHVV coupling (which determines the W/Z-higgs four-point interaction strength) and HHH Higgs self-coupling scale factors at 95% confidence. The HHVV coupling scaling factor (κ2V ) is constrained to an observed interval between 0.09 …

Es La Rosa, El Símbolo Más Proprio De La Pureza’ (The Rose Is The Most Appropriate Symbol Of Purity) An Analysis Of An 18th-Century Document Reflecting Female Monasticism In Mallorca, Brigid Powers

Art History Theses and Dissertations

Currently owned by the Bridwell Library at Southern Methodist University, an eighteenth-century profession object, the Clarissine Manuscript, offers insight into the inner workings of the cloistered Convent of Santa Clara in Palma, Mallorca. This thesis serves to outline and provide all available information about this object while analyzing such information and offering avenues for future research. By looking back through history and tracking the narrative of Saint of Clare of Assisi’s formation of the Poor Clares order, we are able to understand this object in a new way.

An understudied object, the Clarissine Manuscript depicts eighteen saints and martyrs bordering …

Modulation Of P53-Dependent Differentiation Signaling Through Molecular Interactions Between The Hpv E6 Oncoprotein And The Actin-Binding Transcriptional Cofactor, Mkl1, Nicholas Kurtaneck

Biological Sciences Theses and Dissertations

The high-risk human papillomaviruses infect basal epithelial stem cells within oropharyngeal or anogenital mucosal membranes and have been etiologically linked to uterine cervical dysplasia as well as to several HPV+ epithelial malignancies, including cervical squamous-cell carcinomas, vaginal, penile, and anogenital cancers, and certain subsets of head-and-neck/oropharyngeal cancers. Despite the widespread availability of multivalent preventive vaccines against the major hrHPV subtypes, more than 45,000 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States and the incidences of oropharyngeal and anogenital cancers have continued to increase, particularly, among HPV-infected subpopulations. The vegetative replication of the viral dsDNA genome …

A Machine Learning Approach To Revenue Generation Within The Professional Hair Care Industry, Alexander K. Sepenu, Linda Eliasen

SMU Data Science Review

The cosmetic and beauty industry continues to grow and evolve to satisfy its patrons. In the United States, the industry is heavily science-driven, innovative, and fast-paced, suggesting that to remain productive and profitable, companies must seek smart alternatives to their current modus operandi or risk losing out on this multi-billion-dollar industry to fierce competition. In this paper, the authors seek to utilize machine learning models such as clustering and regression to improve the efficiency of current sales and customer segmentation models to help HairCo (pseudonym for confidentiality), a professional hair products manufacturer, strategize their marketing and sales efforts for revenue …

The Climate Emergency Demands A New Kind Of History, Jo Guldi

History Faculty Publications

How shall we judge the element of practicality or urgency for scholars working in the era of the 2030 deadline for action on climate change? This essay surveys the reaction to climate change by scholars who work with data, using the philosopher Stephen Gardiner’s conceit of “corrupt institutions” to organize the approaches according to an index of pragmatic orientation. This survey will lead to the identification of some challenges for those seeking to engage the climate deadline with data, especially work making climate data more transparent, text mining to identify aspects of corruption and reform within contemporary institutions, and building …

Corpus Linguistics Criticisms Of Heller Misuse Corpus Linguistics, Michael Showalter

SMU Law Review Forum

A number of linguistics experts have asserted that new corpus-linguistics evidence undermines the U.S. Supreme Court’s conclusion in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment phrase keep and bear arms means to possess and carry weapons. At the time of ratification, the term bear arms carried both an idiomatic sense meaning “to serve as a soldier” and a literal sense meaning “to carry weapons.” The Heller majority concluded that the Second Amendment uses the literal sense, partly because the idiomatic reading has the absurd implication of causing the Amendment to protect a right to serve as a soldier. …
