Bomba And The Evolution Of Puerto Rican Activism In New York, Katherine Smith

Capstones

While Bomba, a traditional dance style that originated in Puerto Rico, has recently become more visible to a mainstream national audience, local activists in New York City have been working for years to promote the art and elevate the history of their community. For dance leaders like Milteri Tucker, Bomba dancing is not only a celebration of Puerto Rico’s African heritage, but an effective way to address social issues within the city’s local and Latino community. She is one of many activists in the city’s history that has used art and community try to uplift the culture and work on …

A Pandemic Revolution For Workout Devotees, Their Instructors, And The Gyms They Used To Frequent, Erika Wheless

Capstones

It used to be that going to the gym was the epitome of health - taking time out of your day to stretch, run, and crunch away stress. But the coronavirus has made this a selfish, even narcissistic, act. It has forced consumers to bring the gym into their living rooms. Now that many Americans have adapted to workouts without the gym, yoga studio, or spin class, it’s hard to imagine that we will return to our previous gym routines. The coronavirus won’t be the death of gyms, but it has permanently changed the industry.

En La Iglesia Católica De Nueva York, Los Sobrevivientes Latinos De Abuso Infantil Podrían Estarse Perdiendo Un Momento Único De Rendición De Cuentas, Roman O. Gressier, Jocelyn Azucena Contreras

Capstones

El pasaje de la Ley de Protección de Víctimas Infantiles (CVA por sus siglas en inglés) en el Estado de Nueva York en agosto del 2019 ofrece un momento histórico de rendición de cuentas desde instituciones que por décadas permitieron u ocultaron abuso sexual contra niños bajo su cuidado. Desde que se aprobó la ley hasta 1 diciembre 2020, las cortes estatales registraron poco menos de 900 casos contra las dos diócesis de la Iglesia Católica que abarcan la Ciudad de Nueva York.

Aunque la CVA estará vigente por un plazo total de dos años, la impunidad de la que …

Left In Limbo: Willets Point Businesses Face An Uncertain Future, Jacob Kaye

Capstones

Willets Point, a small neighborhood in Queens, has been eyed for development for over a decade. But in that time, the project has sputtered and stalled, with little to be said in the way of progress but a few acres of demolished land, known as Phase 1, and a plan for an environmental review. But as the city renews its promise to develop the area, business owners say they are being ignored and quietly forced out.

A Stroke Of Misfortune, Madison Ruffo

Capstones

In May 2019 my great grandmother, Carmel Ruffo, went to the hospital for a bowel impaction. One month and one stroke later she died. Since then, my great uncle–her son–has worked tirelessly seeking answers about the nature of his mother’s death. But the healthcare industry is a labyrinth of mind-boggling jargon, complex policies, and too-often dead ends.

In this story, the reader follows my uncle and me, just one of the hundreds of thousands of grieving families who suspect medical error contributed to their loved one’s death, as we navigate the bureaucracy of New York’s healthcare system and dig for …

Advocates in New York City are calling for changes to be made to school safety as the NYPD disproportionately restrains students of color and creates a …

Baseball Has A Race Problem: The Decline Of African-Americans In Baseball, Ariel Pacheco

Capstones

African-Americans have been on a decline in the sport of baseball since the 1980’s. Of the 900 players on the 2020 opening day rosters, only 65 were African American. There are currently only two Black managers and one Black general manager in the MLB. As other sports like basketball and baseball continue to rise in popularity, baseball has staggered. The question remains, what is baseball doing wrong? Is it too expensive? Is it simply not inviting to African-Americans? And what, if anything, can be done to curtail these numbers?

Enhancing Air Side Heat Transfer Coefficient Of Flat Tube Air Cooled Condensers., Mohamed Mahmoud Awad, Hesham Mostafa, Gamal Sultan, A. Elbooz, A. El-Ghonemy

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Forced convection heat transfer for air side over aluminum extruded micro-channel fat tubes, which used in air cooled condensers, was studied theoretically. Mathematical modeling of air flow outside the aluminum flat tubes were carried out to study the proposed inclination angles and evaluate the thermal performance for different operating parameters. A computational fluid dynamic software (CFD) is used to solve this problem. Two proposed cases for inclination of the flat tubes are studied. The first case is to make convergent and divergent channels for air Now, while the second case is tilting of all tubes in parallel to each other. …

Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis In A Pediatric Male, Florentino Saenz Rios, Sandhya Devaraj, Giri Movva, Hari Movva, Quan D. Nguyen

School of Medicine Publications

Significant eosinophilia is a prominent feature in Churg-Strauss syndrome but has not been described in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) in a pediatric patient. We present a biopsy case that confirmed granulomatosis with polyangiitis with significant eosinophilia > 30% on the initial presentation. Etiologies that could account for eosinophilia were excluded during workup. The patient's presentation of pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage, conjunctivitis arthritis, high-titer cytoplasmic antineutrophil, PR3-ANCA antibodies, and cytoplasmic antibodies (cANCA) was consistent with a clinical picture of atypical GPA in a pediatric patient. This case presents a rare opportunity not only due to GPA’s low incidence in the pediatric population but …

Rheological Effect During Swelling Of Polymer Membranes In Aqueous Solutions With Different Dithyremic Content, Yulchi T. Juraev, Leonard M. Sabirov, Nikolay F. Bunkin, Valeriy A. Kozlov

Scientific Journal of Samarkand University

It was shown that the swelling of the initially hydrophobic Nafion plate in ordinary water (157 ppm deuterium content) and in deuterium-depleted water (1 ppm deuterium content) in a limited volume cell occurs differently. It turned out that small changes in the deuterium content in water lead to significant differences in the dynamics of swelling of the polymer membrane. For a 175-micron thick Nafion plate, this effect is most pronounced when the distance between the windows is L = 200 microns.

In this paper, we considered the problem of analytical continuation of the solution of the system equations of the thermoelasticity in bounded domain from its values and values of its strains on part of the boundary of this domain, i.e., the Cauchy’s problem and we give a criterion for the solvability of the Cauchy problem.

Raman Scattering Spectra Of Α-Alanine Molecular Complexes, Hakim Hushvaktov

Scientific Journal of Samarkand University

The article presents the results of studying the complexity of the Raman spectra of a-alanine in the crystalline state. It has been shown by ab initio calculations that the change in the Raman spectra is explained by the formation of several types of hydrogen bonds. In Raman spectra, the presence of a hydrogen bond between molecules is manifested in the form of asymmetry and splitting of vibrational bands.

An efficient procedure for calculating the values of monotone functions on sets of a - dimensional cube is investigated and developed. An algorithm for solving systems of Boolean equations based on the search for the maximum upper zero of monotone functions of the logic algebra is developed.

Rapid Radiological Analysis Of Building Materials, Askar Safarov, Joseph Sharonov, Ali Mukhamedov, Askarali Azimov, Akmal Safarov, Mukhammad Salimov, B Radzhabboev

Scientific Journal of Samarkand University

Measurements of the dose-forming radionuclide concentrations such as Rа-226, Тh-232 and К-40 were carried out in samples of building materials with different ageing times. The radium equivalent activities of the samples were determined. Possible values of the correcting coefficients to the activity of Ra-226 that take into account the radioactive equilibrium were calculated. This, in turn, allows to perform rapid radiological analysis of building materials.
