Interview With Jon Ratner Vocalist, The Real Ambassadors, 1962 Monterey Jazz Festival Date Of Interview: November 9, 2012, Ignacio Sanchez-Alonso, Jon Ratner

The Real Ambassadors - Interviews

Dave and Iola Brubeck created The Real Ambassadors in the late 1950s. The jazz musical pointed out the absurdity of segregation and makes the case that artists such as Louis Armstrong are the best and "real" ambassadors to demonstrate a nation's ideals. It was recorded in 1961 and performed live only once. Despite their efforts, the play never made it to stage. Here is a collection of letters, photographs, scripts, and audio that document the creation of The Real Ambassadors.

Action Disambiguation Analysis Using Normalized Google-Like Distance Correlogram, Qianru Sun, Hong Liu Nov 2012

Action Disambiguation Analysis Using Normalized Google-Like Distance Correlogram, Qianru Sun, Hong Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Classifying realistic human actions in video remains challenging for existing intro-variability and inter-ambiguity in action classes. Recently, Spatial-Temporal Interest Point (STIP) based local features have shown great promise in complex action analysis. However, these methods have the limitation that they typically focus on Bag-of-Words (BoW) algorithm, which can hardly discriminate actions’ ambiguity due to ignoring of spatial-temporal occurrence relations of visual words. In this paper, we propose a new model to capture this contextual relationship in terms of pairwise features’ co-occurrence. Normalized Google-Like Distance (NGLD) is proposed to numerically measuring this co-occurrence, due to its effectiveness in semantic correlation analysis. …

Effective Inter-Residue Contact Definitions For Accurate Protein Fold Recognition., Chao Yuan, Hao Chen, Daisuke Kihara Nov 2012

Effective Inter-Residue Contact Definitions For Accurate Protein Fold Recognition., Chao Yuan, Hao Chen, Daisuke Kihara

Department of Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Background

Effective encoding of residue contact information is crucial for protein structure prediction since it has a unique role to capture long-range residue interactions compared to other commonly used scoring terms. The residue contact information can be incorporated in structure prediction in several different ways: It can be incorporated as statistical potentials or it can be also used as constraints in ab initio structure prediction. To seek the most effective definition of residue contacts for template-based protein structure prediction, we evaluated 45 different contact definitions, varying bases of contacts and distance cutoffs, in terms of their ability to identify proteins …

An Examination Of The Sensitivity Of The Great Salt Lake To Changes In Inputs, Ibrahim Nourein Mohammed, David G. Tarboton Nov 2012

An Examination Of The Sensitivity Of The Great Salt Lake To Changes In Inputs, Ibrahim Nourein Mohammed, David G. Tarboton

Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

The Great Salt Lake is a closed basin lake in which level and volume fluctuate due to differences between inflows and outflows. The only outflow is evaporation, which depends directly on lake area and salinity, both of which depend on lake volume. The lake’s level, volume, and area adjust to balance, on average, precipitation and streamflow inflows by evaporation. In this paper, we examine the sensitivity of lake volume changes to precipitation, streamflow, and evaporation and the interactions among these processes and lake area and salinity related to volume. A mass balance model is developed to generate representative realizations of …


A Comparison Of Literature-Based And Content-Based Guided Reading Materials On Elementary Student Reading And Science Achievement, Christine Guns Nov 2012

A Comparison Of Literature-Based And Content-Based Guided Reading Materials On Elementary Student Reading And Science Achievement, Christine Guns

Theses and Dissertations

Guided reading, as developed by Fountas and Pinnell (2001), has been a staple of elementary reading programs for the past decade. Teachers in the elementary school setting utilize this small group, tailored instruction in order to differentiate and meet the instructional needs of the students. The literature shows academic benefit for students who have special needs, such as learning disabilities, autism, and hearing impairments but consideration of academic impact has not been investigated for regular education students. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to investigate the academic impact of the use of content-related (Group C) and the traditional literature-based …

Medication Deserts: Survey Of Neighborhood Disparities In Availability Of Prescription Medications, Philippe Amstislavski, Ariel Matthews, Sarah Sheffield, Andrew R. Maroko, Jeremy Weedon

Publications and Research

Background Only a small amount of research has focused on the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and geographic access to prescription medications at community pharmacies in North America and Europe. To examine the relationship between a community’s socio-economic context and its residents’ geographic access to common medications in pharmacies, we hypothesized that differences are present in access to pharmacies across communities with different socio-economic environments, and in availability of commonly prescribed medications within pharmacies located in communities with different socio-economic status. Methods We visited 408 pharmacies located in 168 socio-economically diverse communities to assess the availability of commonly prescribed medications. …

The Characterization Of Volatiles Associated With Young Stellar Objects, Kari Anne Wojtkowski Nov 2012

The Characterization Of Volatiles Associated With Young Stellar Objects, Kari Anne Wojtkowski

Dissertations

In the first portion of this work, we searched for differences in volatiles within a single star forming region, Rho Ophiuchi. We determined the amount, temperature, and composition of two ice features, the bending modes of CO2 and H2O at 15 μm and 6 μm, respectively, toward 28 Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). We found that more than 50% of the YSOs studied contained a portion of crystalline CO2 ice. We also found that some sources with Flat or borderline Class II Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) have a larger abundance of CO2 ice with respect to H2O ice. In addition to …


Conductance-Based Determination Of Solid-State Nanopore Size And Shape: An Exploration Of Performance Limits, Cameron M. Frament, Jason R. Dwyer Nov 2012

Conductance-Based Determination Of Solid-State Nanopore Size And Shape: An Exploration Of Performance Limits, Cameron M. Frament, Jason R. Dwyer

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Knowledge of nanopore size and shape is critical for many implementations of these singlemolecule sensing elements. Geometry determination by fitting the electrolyte-concentrationdependence of the conductance of surface-charged, solid-state nanopores has been proposed to replace demanding electron microscope-based methods. The functional form of the conductance poses challenges for this method by restricting the number of free parameters used to characterize the nanopore. We calculated the electrolyte-dependent conductance of nanopores with an exponential-cylindrical radial profile using three free geometric parameters; this profile, itself, could not be uniquely geometry-optimized by the conductance. Several different structurally simplified models, however, generated quantitative agreement with the …
