Dance As Embodied Ethics, Aili W. Bresnahan, Einav Katan-Schmid, Sara Houston Aug 2020

Dance As Embodied Ethics, Aili W. Bresnahan, Einav Katan-Schmid, Sara Houston

Books and Book Chapters by University of Dayton Faculty

This chapter, composed of three parts by three different authors, proposes that one of the many possible ways that dance might embody philosophic thought and discourse is via embodying ethical practice. Each author contributes a different perspective on the relationship between dance and ethical activity. The perspectives can be read both as separate ideas and as interrelated thoughts. Einav Katan-Schmid views "dance" as a metaphor for "embodied ethics." She analyzes dance as an embodied activity of decision-making that regulates the tension between co-existing physical dynamics. Following from the idea of "dancing," she suggests that one think of "embodied ethics" in …


Investigation Of Various Techniques For Controlled Void Formation In Fiberglass/Epoxy Composites, Donald A. Klosterman, Charles Browning, Issa Hakim, Kyle Lach Aug 2020

Investigation Of Various Techniques For Controlled Void Formation In Fiberglass/Epoxy Composites, Donald A. Klosterman, Charles Browning, Issa Hakim, Kyle Lach

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

The effect of porosity in composite materials has been studied for years due to its deleterious effects on mechanical properties, especially matrix dominated properties. Currently there is an increasing use of composites in infrastructure worldwide, for example bridge components, residential and building structures, marine structures such as piers and docks, and large industrial chemical tanks. Most of these applications use fiberglass composites. Unfortunately, most of the published literature has focused on carbon fiber composites, in which fiber diameter and gas-fiber interactions are different than fiberglass composites. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to revisit the effect of porosity but specifically …

Team Teachers — Soul Sisters, Vicki Austin

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

I pulled my emergency backpack closer as the bus swerved from side to side. A half-eaten Hershey bar, a handful of Band Aids, two-thirds of a bottle of hand sanitizer, five packets of Oreos and one broken pencil completed the inventory. My straining eyes pressed against the rain-spattered window, seeking a place to evacuate all 16 second graders and their parents to shelter. Five packets of Oreos multiplied by the four Oreos in each packet equaled 20 Oreos. Divide those by 16 kids and you get you get well, what you get is a riot.

Data Augmentation Analysis In Vehicle Detection From Aerial Videos, Quynh M. Chung, Tien D. Le, Thin V. Dang, Nguyen D. Vo, Khang Nguyen, Tam V. Nguyen

Computer Science Faculty Publications

Recent growth in deep learning and computer vision has opened up many opportunities for advanced intelligent systems. While the dataset quality plays a crucial role in the training phase and also affects the performance of a model, creating a reliable and diverse dataset appears to be challenging. Therefore, data augmentation can be used as a preprocessing step with a view to tackling the problem. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive analysis on different augmentation strategies to investigate their impact on vehicle detection in top-down videos captured by drones. Our experiments show that by adding similar data, randomly rotating and …
