Farewell To A Beloved Buddy, David Josephson Mar 2026

Farewell To A Beloved Buddy, David Josephson

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

“You never know when it’s the last time.” For sixty years, from a chance meeting when we were undergraduates at Columbia until his last days, the incomparable Richard Taruskin gave me the great gift of his friendship. I never knew why, still don’t, but I reveled in every moment we shared. After I decamped for Brown ten years later, and he eventually for Berkeley, our meetings grew fewer and a cherished correspondence (those from its last months excerpted here) filled the gaps. COVID-19 put finis to our reunions. “The last time” would come and go with all too little warning, …

Responding To Increased Enrollment In An Undergraduate Seminar: A Hybrid Approach, Nancy Luke, Kelly N. Tracy Mar 2026

Responding To Increased Enrollment In An Undergraduate Seminar: A Hybrid Approach, Nancy Luke, Kelly N. Tracy

Teacher Education Journal of South Carolina

Shrinking budgets and increasing enrollment can often mean growing class sizes. These larger numbers can have a negative effect on student achievement (Johnson, 2010; Kokkelenberg, et al., 2008) and student evaluations of courses and instructors (Bedard & Kuhn, 2008; Westerlund, 2008). Large class sizes may be particularly challenging for courses that are intended to be discussion-oriented seminars. One possible solution for this problem may be found through utilizing a hybrid format (Knapczyk & Hew,2007). In this article, the authors will share why and how they utilized the on-line platform , Blackboard, to redesign a traditionally face-to-face undergraduate seminar as a …

System And Method For Closed-Loop Network-Aware Container Scheduling Via Passive Kernel-Level Telemetry And Topology-Correlated Congestion Detection, Ankita Ojha

Defensive Publications Series

Container orchestration platforms often utilize static resource requests and topological labels to schedule workloads. The disclosed technology introduces a closed-loop control mechanism that dynamically biases workload placement based on real-time physical network health. The system acts as a normalization layer between a high-frequency data plane and a low-frequency control plane. By employing passive kernel-level telemetry, the system captures network state metrics from existing application traffic. Orchestrator control plane metadata is synchronized into the data plane, allowing network flows to be aggregated by physical failure domains. An adaptive normalization logic component differentiates between application-layer processing delays and network-layer transport delays to …

Unified Management System For A Hybrid Workforce Of Human And Computational Agents, N/A Mar 2026

Unified Management System For A Hybrid Workforce Of Human And Computational Agents, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

The management of a hybrid workforce comprising human and autonomous computational agents may be challenged by the use of separate systems for human capital and software assets, which can create a governance gap. A system can provide a unified framework for managing a hybrid workforce. For example, the system may utilize a labor service mesh to analyze and route tasks to either a human intent tier or an agentic execution tier. A potential principle of the system is structural symmetry, where computational agents can be assigned digital identities and managed through a lifecycle process that may parallel human resource functions, …

Probabilistic Governance And Telemetry Framework For Autonomous Agents, Tanmay Kayande Mar 2026

Probabilistic Governance And Telemetry Framework For Autonomous Agents, Tanmay Kayande

Defensive Publications Series

When managing complex, unpredictable (non-deterministic) AI agents using simple, fixed control systems (like finite state machines), operational failures and accountability issues often arise. This document introduces a probabilistic governance and telemetry framework to resolve these problems. Instead of following a rigid sequence of steps, this framework defines a multi-dimensional operational boundary, a 'behavioral volume', and assigns the agent a goal. This allows the agent to use its own reasoning to achieve the goal while remaining within the defined boundaries. A separate telemetry layer monitors the agent's actions by calculating metrics, such as alignment scores and drift velocity, to measure how …

Berlioz's Mysterious Amélie, Pascal Beyls, Peter Bloom Mar 2026

Berlioz's Mysterious Amélie, Pascal Beyls, Peter Bloom

Music & Musical Performance: An International Journal

In September 1864, in a letter to his long-time confidante, the Princess Carolyne von Sayn-Wittgenstein, Berlioz mentioned the name of the woman with whom, as he had earlier confided to the Princess, he had conducted a brief but passionate affair: “her name was Amélie.” Until now, the Berlioz scholars have been unable properly to identify this mysterious person. From other letters and documents, including Ernest Legouvé’s Soixante ans de souvenirs, we have known the approximate dates of the beginning and ending of the relationship. But only now, on the basis of the birth and death certificates of the woman and …
