Probing Quantumness With Joint Continuous Measurements Of Non-Commuting Observables, Luis Pedro García-Pintos, Justin Dressel

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

We analyze the continuous measurement of two noncommuting observables for a qubit, and investigate whether the simultaneously observed noisy signals are consistent with the evolution of an equivalent classical system. Following the approach outlined by Leggett and Garg, we show that the readouts violate macrorealistic inequalities for arbitrarily short temporal correlations. Moreover, the derived inequalities are manifestly violated even in the absence of Hamiltonian evolution, unlike for Leggett-Garg inequalities that use a single continuous measurement. Such a violation should indicate the failure of at least one postulate of macrorealism: either physical quantities do not have well-defined values at all times …

Severing Ties: A Lacanian Reading Of Motherhood In Joyce Carol Oates’S Short Stories "The Children" And "Feral", Uroš Tomić

Bearing Witness: Joyce Carol Oates Studies

This paper approaches two of Joyce Carol Oates’s short stories (“The Children” and “Feral”) from a Lacanian perspective on the tripartite structure of personality in an attempt to analyze questions of motherhood and the parent-child separation process. Although published 35 years apart both stories deal with mothers who have trouble containing their maternal attitude and children who become elusive entities for their parents. Utilizing as well the concept of what Oates has termed “realistic allegory” in the analysis of characters situated within highly specific settings and circumstances, the paper aims to shed light on Oates’s vision of the workings of …

Stepping Towards Open Source Hydrological Modeling: Problems And Prospects, Kazi Rahman, Nicolas Ray, Gregory Giuliani, Rocio Escobar, Gissela Girón, Julia Schwank, Chris George, Anthony Lehmann

Open Water Journal

Hydrological modeling is a powerful technique for hydrologic system investigation for research hydrologists, and practicing water resources planners and engineers involved in the planning and development of an integrated approach for the management of water resources. Hydrological models are based on our understanding of the physics of the hydrological processes which control catchment response and use physically based equations to describe these processes. Some typical examples of field applications of hydrologic modeling includes the study of the effect of climate and land use changes, the prediction of the behavior of ungauged catchments, spatial variability in catchment inputs and outputs, movement …

Enhanced Flexibility And Coupling Opportunities: The Process-Based, Open-Source, Hydrological- Model Wetspa, E. Salvadore, J. Bronders, O. Schmitz, O. Batelaan

Open Water Journal

Hydrological modeling is evolving following advances in computational capabilities and the spread of digital data. Keeping up with technological development is becoming a challenge and might results in increased complexity and higher uncertainties. Many tools are today available to detailed simulate particular hydrological processes but the water system at the catchment scale requires the integration of several domains. For all this reasons flexibility and ease of integration are important requirements for the hydrological models of tomorrow. To this end, we considered the spatially distributed hydrological model WetSpa (Water and energy transfer between Soil plant and atmosphere) and we modified its …

The Impact Of Considering Different Sources Of Uncertainty On A Swat Model Parameter Distributions And Model Outputs: The River Zenne (Belgium) Case Study, Olkeba Tolessa Leta, Jiri Nossent, Carlos Velez, Narayan Kumar Shrestha, Ann Van Griensven, Willy Bauwens

Open Water Journal

The European Union Water Framework Directive (EU-WFD) called its member countries to achieve a good ecological status for all inland and coastal water bodies by 2015 (EU, 2000). However, the River Zenne (Belgium) is far from this objective. Therefore, an interuniversity and multidisciplinary project “Towards a Good Ecological Status in the River Zenne (GESZ)” was launched to evaluate the effects of wastewater management plans on the river. In the framework of this project, different models have been developed and integrated using the Open Modelling Interface (OpenMI) (Gregersen et al., 2007). The hydrologic, physically-based, semi-distributed Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) …

State Of R In Hydrological Modelling, J. A. Torres, E. Pebesma

Open Water Journal

Access to clean and safe water is a human right and to grant it under a sustainable development point of view is paramount for well being of the future generations. Therefore, it is important to understand the interaction between the mate- rial flows to coastal waters that are constrained by catchment boundaries and the human activi- ties therein, and those materials that are tied to trade and other trans-boundary processes (e.g. re- sidence time, transport and fate of physical, chemi- cal and microbiological water-quality determinants) and their global implications on preserving the qua- lity of the natural environment.

Cmd: A Semi-Automatic Model Structure Identification And Calibration Tool For River Water Quantity Modelling, Vincent Wolfs, Pieter Meert, Patrick Willems

Open Water Journal

Detailed hydrodynamic models that solve the full de Saint-Venant equations play a crucial role in support of river engineering, management and integrated catchment modelling. They explain the current state of a river system, and are useful for various types of scenario investigations. However, detailed physically-based models show two major disadvantages. Due to the long calculation times, simulations have to be limited both in time and space. Applications involving numerous simulations, such as global optimization problems at catchment level, real time control applications and uncertainty analyses, cannot be performed. Secondly, the coupling of models created in different software environments can be …

“When The Details Are No Longer Too Much”: The Embodied Citizen-Subject In Régine Michelle Jean-Charles’S Conflict Bodies, Alessandra Benedicty-Kokken

Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal

Régine Michelle Jean-Charles’s Conflict Bodies: The Politics of Rape Representation in the Francophone Imaginary (2014) is a stunning first book by a dynamic scholar working at the intersection of Africana Studies, Human Rights Studies, and Feminist Studies, not to mention literary studies in French. Jean-Charles’s title “Conflict Bodies” gestures both to the context of "conflict zones" as identified by human rights institutions, and it also refers to how the body of the victim-survivor is at once one that has survived, but whose survival reinscribes the body with new subjectivities, subjectivities that are informed both by the extremely intimate, and by …

The Anxiety Of Racialized Sexuality In Jean Rhys, Yanoula Athanassakis

Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal

This article centers on Dominican-born Jean Rhys’s novel Good Morning, Midnight (1939). Rhys’s West Indian roots are often referenced and Anglicized both in terms of, and because of, her engagement with Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (vis-à-vis Wide Sargasso Sea). I argue that Good Morning, Midnight’s protagonist, Sasha Jensen, refracts the uniquely Caribbean experience of dislocation through the modernist aesthetic of detachment. Good Morning, Midnight is the last book in a series of four that Rhys published in a period of eleven years after World War I. The disturbingly ambiguous nature of her characters reveal the complex intersectionality of race …

To Be Dragon And Man: The Cultural Politics Of Carnival In Earl Lovelace’S The Dragon Can’T Dance, Richard Mcguire

Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal

This paper argues that it is important to realise that Trinidadian author Earl Lovelace’s 1979 novel The Dragon Can’t Dance presents an implicit but identifiable stratigraphic history of Trinidadian carnival practices in formal, social and political development, from European and African origins, through the colonial era, to independence in 1962 and beyond. To be able to identify how Lovelace relates the political development of Trinidadian carnival is to be positioned to analyse, crucially, why his novel presents its main narrative as detailing in particular with a crisis of social and cultural politics in post-independence, contemporary Trinidad from the late 1950s …

The Trope Of Flattening And The Complexities Of Difference: An Account Of Trinidad Carnival, Nanette De Jong, Christian Mieves

Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal

This paper critiques the position of flattening as an alternative way to map and analyse power structures in Trinidad Carnival. As will be argued, traditional hierarchies of meaning and value invert in Carnival, with participants using masquerade and the visual arts to perform and critique the contradictions of Trinidad society, and to make or unmake categories of difference. Flattening, as the authors argue, is particularly well suited when speaking about Carnival, whose cultural frames are constantly blurred, stretched, erased or redrawn, and where distortions of social and cultural distinctions are realised visually. Furthermore, flattening emphasises the elasticity and fluidity …

Smoke And Mirrors: Generic Manipulation And Doubling In Dancing To “Almendra”, Amanda Ruth Waugh Lagji

Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal

This paper explores Mayra Montero’s novel Dancing to “Almendra” as a specifically postcolonial revision of the classic detective novel. Through an examination of the novel’s generic characteristics, I argue that elements that might be at first considered mere postmodern play—the conflation of the real and the performed or the illusion, anachronistic film references, the implantation of historical figures and cinematic personas alike into an otherwise fictional detective narrative—serves the novel’s socially committed, political critique. The doubling and smoke and mirrors that structure the novel ultimately serve to show the truth more clearly, as the postmodern play of performance, smoke, and …

The Rhyming Irons Of Abdur-Rahman Slade Hopkinson, Paul Thifault

Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal

Despite being a highly respected member of the Brathwaite-Walcott generation, Abdur-Rahman Slade Hopkinson has received only passing attention from scholars of West Indian literature. In an attempt to foster greater appreciation for a Caribbean artist recently dubbed “the forgotten poet” in his native Guyana, this article uncovers an organizing principle running through Snowscape with Signature (1993), a substantial posthumous selection of Hopkinson's poems that includes both secular and religious verses. The defining characteristic of Hopkinson’s poetry, I argue, involves his careful imbrication of competing notions of poetry as, on the one hand, a space for transcendent aesthetics and, on the …

Maps Of Intimate And Institutional Change In Merle Collins’S Angel And Oonya Kempadoo’S Tide Running, Clare M. Sigrist

Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal

This article reads Merle Collins’s Angel and Oonya Kempadoo’s Tide Running for their narration of social transformations within their characters lived experience. Comparing these two different novels allows this paper to think change both within and beyond the dramatic moments of revolutionary change and against theories of change that primarily limit themselves to large structural forces, such as sex tourism and the U.S. media, and their effects. I propose Angel acts as a map of and toward social transformation, while Tide Running acts as an anti-map, a source of disorientation that prompts better wayfinding. Through the family structure Angel critiques …

Effects Of Transportation Hazards On High Barrier Flexible Packaging Films, Kyle Dunno

Journal of Applied Packaging Research

Two flexible food packaging barrier material film structures were employed for this research study to evaluate the effects of over-the-road truck transport. The films containing different barrier materials, ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) or aluminum oxide (AlOx), were selected based on their abundant use within the flexible food packaging arena. Pouches were formed and filled with tomato paste before being thermally processed then palletized for shipment. Pouches were shipped over-the-road via truck transport a distance of 2,500 miles. After transport, the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of the pouches located on the bottom and top layers of the palletized loads were obtained and …

Bayou: An Original Book For Children, Taylor Hodges

Graduate Student Independent Studies

Bayou is an original picture book for children between the ages of four and six years old. Bayou is a sweet, fun-loving young cheetah. There is just one thing very different about him: he likes to take his time. He moves very slowly and enjoys playing checkers and doing puzzles. He moves so slowly that his best friend is actually a turtle. Bayou’s two older brothers do not understand how a cheetah, an animal born to be fast, can live life always moving so slowly. One day, his brothers are running around extremely fast and carelessly as usual, and they …

Safety Culture And Fall Prevention: A Collaborative Effort, Cecilia Cortina

Seton Hall University DNP Final Projects

Patient falls in the United States (US) range from 700,000 to one million annually and one third of those falls can be prevented (Du Pree, Fritz-Campiz & Musbeno, 2014). Twenty to 30% of falls are moderate to severe (Schimke & Schimke, 2014). As of 2009, The Joint Commission’s (TJC) (2015) Sentinel Event databank held 465 reports of hospital falls with injury; deaths that resulted in those injuries were reported as 63 percent. Common denominators resulting in patient falls with injury are poor assessment, lack of communication, failure to follow protocols, insufficient training and supervision, staffing levels, unsafe environments and lack …
