Realizing Degree Sequences With Graphs Having Nowhere-Zero 3-Flows, Rong Luo, Rui Xu, Wenan Zang, Cun-Quan Zhang

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

The following open problem was proposed by Archdeacon: Characterize all graphical sequences π such that some realization of π admits a nowhere-zero 3-flow. The purpose of this paper is to resolve this problem and present a complete characterization: A graphical sequence π = (d1, d2, ., dn) with minimum degree at least two has a realization that admits a nowhere-zero 3-flow if and only if π ≠ (34, 2), (k, 3k), (k2, 3k―1), where k is an odd integer.

Kierkegaard And/Or Catholicism: A Matter Of Conjunctions, Center For Catholic Studies, Seton Hall University

Center for Catholic Studies Faculty Seminars and Core Curriculum Seminars

It is often said (accurately) that one of the distinguishing marks of a Catholic understanding of life is its both-and approach in contrast to the either-or approach more characteristic of a Protestant sensibility. For example, Catholics tend to live with and argue for both scripture and tradition, faith and works. The Danish Lutheran Søren Kierkegaard is often cited as a paradigm of Protestant either-or thinking. In this seminar we will explore what we might learn not only about Catholicism and Kierkegaard, but even more about Christianity, human life, and the logic of conjunction.

Constructing Country: Fakery And 'Strictly American' Music [Part 2], Kevin Yuill

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

Having identified the strands that would later make up country music, we now consider the further development of the search for a national music. It coincided with the growing romantic attachment of certain members of the elite to a racialized Anglo-Saxon American "folk" whose culture they re-imagined, shorn of any uncouth or labor-related themes, in contrast to more urban, black or immigrant cultures. The English proselytiser for Morris dancing, Cecil Sharp, exceeded the efforts of others in highlighting the music of the Appalachians as particularly Anglo-Saxon and thus worthy of attention. After World War I in particular, an …

A Characterization Of Schur Multipliers Between Character-Automorphic Hardy Spaces, Daniel Alpay, M. Mboup

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

We give a new characterization of character-automorphic Hardy spaces of order 2 and of their contractive multipliers in terms of de Branges Rovnyak spaces. Keys tools in our arguments are analytic extension and a factorization result for matrix-valued analytic functions due to Leech.

Suppression Of Aromatase In Human Breast Cells By A Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitor And Its Analog Involves Multiple Mechanisms Independent Of Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibition, Bin Su, Edgar S. Diaz-Cruz, Serena Landini, Robert W. Brueggemeier

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Previous studies have demonstrated that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor NS-398 decrease aromatase activity at the transcript level in breast cancer cells. However, N-Methyl NS-398, which does not have COX-2 inhibitory activity but has very similar structure to NS-398, decreases aromatase activity and transcription in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cells to the same extent as NS-398. This suggests that NS-398 decrease aromatase expression in breast cancer cells via other mechanism(s). Further investigations find that both compounds only decrease aromatase activity stimulated by forskolin/phorbol ester at the transcript level in both breast cancer cell lines and in breast stromal cells from patients. They …

Multiplexed Predictive Control Of A Large Commercial Turbofan Engine, Hanz Richter, Anil V. Singaraju, Jonathan S. Litt

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

Model predictive control is a strategy well-suited to handle the highly complex, nonlinear, uncertain, and constrained dynamics involved in aircraft engine control problems. However, it has thus far been infeasible to implement model predictive control in engine control applications, because of the combination of model complexity and the time allotted for the control update calculation. In this paper, a multiplexed implementation is proposed that dramatically reduces the computational burden of the quadratic programming optimization that must be solved online as part of the model-predictive-control algorithm. Actuator updates are calculated sequentially and cyclically in a multiplexed implementation, as opposed to the …

Erisa, Agency Costs, And The Future Of Healthcare In The United States, John Bronsteen

Faculty Publications & Other Works

Because so many Americans receive health insurance through their employers, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 plays a dominant role in the delivery of health care in the United States. The ERISA system enables employers and insurers to save money by providing inadequate health care to employees, thereby creating incentives for these agents to act contrary to the interests of their principals. Such agency costs play a significant role in the current health care crisis and require attention when considering reform. We evaluate the two major health care reform movements by exploring the extent to which each …

Symmetric Presentations Of Finite Groups, Joshua Anthony Roche

Theses Digitization Project

Symmetric presentations of groups allow us to represent, and manipulate, group elements in a manner that is typically more convenient than conventional techniques; in this sense, symmetric presentations are particularly useful in the study of large finite groups.

To Keep You Is No Gain, To Destroy You Is No Loss : A Study Of The Historical And Behavioral Roots Of Cambodian Genocide Under Democratic Kampuchea, Jennifer Croslow

Honors Capstones

This essay is a study on totalitarianism and genocide through the lens of historical manipulation and cultural behavior unique to Cambodia (later called Democratic Kampuchea under the Khmer Rouge). The purpose is to describe the cause and effect that colonial machinations and native social behaviors had on the development and perpetuation of the Khmer Rouge. The study is limited by time and research capabilities, as I do not yet speak, read, or write Khmer or Vietnamese. Because the topic spans over two-hundred years, the research focuses on the two endpoints of colonialism and totalitarianism and neglects the time continuum in-between. …

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

This course is designed to help you develop a solid understanding of neural network algorithms and architectures. At the end of this course you should be able to read and critically evaluate most neural network papers published in major journals, (e.g. IEEE Transaction on Neural Networks, Neural Networks, and Neural Computation). In addition, you should be able to implement a broad range of network architectures and learning algorithms for a variety of applications.

Cs 790-03: Services Science, Yong Pei

Computer Science & Engineering Syllabi

Service Science, Management, and Engineering (SSME), often referred to
as Services Science, is emerging as a distinct field of study. It
encompasses numerous areas relating to the increasing role of services
in the world economy. In this course we will focus primarily on
services computing, or the technical aspects of services science, and
secondarily on the allied economic, business, and organizational aspects
