Into The Fray: Novice Teachers Tackle Standards-Based Mathematics, B. Schroder, S. Gningue Jan 2007

Into The Fray: Novice Teachers Tackle Standards-Based Mathematics, B. Schroder, S. Gningue

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This article tracks twenty-one graduates of a refom-based mathematics teacher education program for two years as they begin teaching mathematics in public elementary schools in New York City. Using surveys, classroom observations, and interviews, it examines the extent to which these beginning teachers were able to implement standards-based mathematics instruction in their classes. Results of the study were mixed. The novice teachers generally demonstrated an adequate understanding of the underlying mathematics principles and strong intentions of teaching mathematics for understanding.They were generally able to engage children in learning, and most performed at the “beginning stages of effective instruction” in their …

The Superior Position Of The Creditor In The Community Property Regime: Has The Community Become A Mere Creditor Collection Device?, Andrea B. Carroll Jan 2007

The Superior Position Of The Creditor In The Community Property Regime: Has The Community Become A Mere Creditor Collection Device?, Andrea B. Carroll

Journal Articles

This article is a first step in an effort to critically examine the continued vitality of the community regime for regulating spousal property. Specifically, the article examines the American community property regimes in light of how they measure up against non-community property states in terms of creditor protection. The results are often surprising. The community regime grants creditors access to a variety of property for all manner of debts. For instance, the entirety of the community property, including the non-debtor spouse's wages, may be seized in some community property states for the other's premarital debts. That the non-debtor spouse has …

Coercion, Causation, And The Fictional Elements Of Indirect State Responsibility, James D. Fry Jan 2007

Coercion, Causation, And The Fictional Elements Of Indirect State Responsibility, James D. Fry

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Article provides an in-depth analysis of Article 18 of the 2001 ILC Draft Articles on State Responsibility, which holds a coercing state indirectly responsible for an injurious act committed by a coerced state. Not only does this provision lack support from state practice, but the structural and logical flaws within the current formulation ensure that this provision does not significantly influence the evolution of state practice. Indeed, it would have been better for the ILC to have left Article 18 out of the Draft Articles, given that other, less problematic provisions could have covered such situations involving coercion. In …

Rosoboroneksport: Arms Sales And The Structure Of Russian Defense Industry, Stephen J. Blank Dr. Jan 2007

Rosoboroneksport: Arms Sales And The Structure Of Russian Defense Industry, Stephen J. Blank Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Although Russian observers believe that Washington imposed sanctions in Russian arms sellers and producers because of these firms’ arms sales to Venezuela. Sales to such dangerous states oblige us to analyze the Russian defense export program and the structure of its defense industry. Until now, that industry would have collapsed without arms sales. Arms sales thus have become the main source of its reveneue until the present and will play a key role in Russia’s ongoing attempt to regenerate its armed forces while winning friends and influence abroad.


Crossing Borders: Loving V. Virginia As A Story Of Migration, Victor C. Romero Jan 2007

Crossing Borders: Loving V. Virginia As A Story Of Migration, Victor C. Romero

Faculty Scholarship

The struggle of binational same-gender partners today parallels the struggles of Mildred and Richard Loving during the heyday of the Civil Rights Movement - not only in the obvious parallels between race and sexual orientation as barriers to freedom, but also in the way the law uses these immutable characteristics to limit the freedom of movement. It is this freedom of movement - this migration or immigration - that I want to focus on in this essay. Lest we forget, the Lovings' story is, importantly, a story of migration: It's a story of the great lengths to which an interracial …

Optimizing A Communication System By Neural Circuits: The Magic Number 4 And Golden Ratio, Bo Deng Jan 2007

Optimizing A Communication System By Neural Circuits: The Magic Number 4 And Golden Ratio, Bo Deng

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

For a new class of circuit models of neurons we demonstrate here that an artificial but robust and efficient communication system can be constructed using one neural circuit as an encoder/transmitter and another as a receiver/decoder, for which metastable-plastic spike-bursts with the minimal bursting periods are used for its alphabet. We also demonstrate that the spike-bursting alphabet is frequency-modulated onto the encoder’s ion pump current as the signal. We further demonstrate that for this spike-excitation-encoding-decoding (SEED) system, the quadrary alphabet tends to give the maximal transmission rate for all possible sources. We also demonstrate that by a trivial source-to-channel encoding, …


Decimal Spike Code Maximizes Neural Memory Against Retrieval Time, Bo Deng Jan 2007

Decimal Spike Code Maximizes Neural Memory Against Retrieval Time, Bo Deng

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

For a new class of circuit models for single neurons we demonstrate here that if the circuits’ plastic spike-bursts are used for memory alphabet, then using the first 10 bases tend to maximize the amount of information that can be retrieved from and stored into the circuits in a unit time.


Physiological And Biochemical Responses Of Resistant And Susceptible Wheat To Injury By Russian Wheat Aphid, Lisa D. Franzen, Andrea R. Gutsche, Tiffany Heng-Moss, Leon G. Higley, Gautam Sarath, John D. Burd Jan 2007

Physiological And Biochemical Responses Of Resistant And Susceptible Wheat To Injury By Russian Wheat Aphid, Lisa D. Franzen, Andrea R. Gutsche, Tiffany Heng-Moss, Leon G. Higley, Gautam Sarath, John D. Burd

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

We examined the physiological and biochemical responses of resistant (“Halt” and “Prairie Red”) and susceptible (“TAM 107”) wheat, Triticum aestivum L., to injury by the Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko). Photosynthetic capacity was evaluated by measuring assimilation/ internal CO2 (A/Ci) curves, chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll, and nonstructural carbohydrate content. Total protein and peroxidase specific activity also were determined. No significant differences were detected in chlorophyll concentration between aphid-infested and control TAM107 plants. The aphid-infested resistant cultivars had similar or significantly higher chlorophyll concentrations compared with their respective control plants. Measurements over time showed that infested Halt plants …
