Lecture Iii: The Origin Of The Books Of The Old Testament, Part 1, Earl Clement Davis

Lectures on the Origin and History of the Bible

Lecture III, "The Origin of the Books of the Old Testament, Part 1," discusses the scholarly efforts, known in 1916 as "higher criticism," that bring careful historical and linguistic analysis to the study of biblical texts. Davis illustrates that text clearly shows that the Old Testament cannot be simply the received word of God because of various problems, including the idea that Moses could describe his own death, double accounts of creation and of the flood.

Judicial Preferences And Aggrandizement Effects, Jason Marisam

ConLawNOW

Scholars increasingly portray the Supreme Court as power hungry and self-aggrandizing. This aggrandizement literature, though, lacks a robust causal theory. This essay argues that judicial aggrandizement is not the product of a power-maximizing agenda but a function of judicial preferences and legal background conditions. Aggrandizement occurs in cases where legal background conditions do not align with judicial policy preferences and the justices assert power to create their preferred policy outcomes. This theory has significant prescriptive and normative implications. For example, counterintuitively, this essay shows that more judicial aggrandizement could be a sign of a healthier institution under some conditions.

Ultra-Compact High-Density Metal Resistor In Modern Finfet Or Gaa Process, Tong Zhang, Jason Cancio

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes ultra-compact high-density metal resistors for use in semiconductor applications. Per techniques of this disclosure, one or more metal layers included in a wafer are connected in different configurations to implement high density resistors. Resistors thus configured can provide up to ten times the resistance density than foundry provided resistors. A first configuration uses M0 and M1 layers, while a second configuration uses M0 and M2 layers, and a third configuration uses M0 and stacked M2 layers. The configurations described herein can achieve the same resistance as foundry provided resistors with a significantly smaller, even 10X smaller area, …

Enhancing Covid-19 Forecasting In Dagestan With Quasi-Linear Recurrence Equations By Using Gldm Algorithm, Mostafa Abotaleb, Tatiana Makarovskikh, Maad M. Mijwil, Ramadhan Ali J

Al-Bahir

This research delineates the advancement of a refined predictive algorithm centered on the Generalized Least Deviation Method (GLDM) specifically configured for analyzing COVID-19 infection trends in Dagestan using univariate time series data. Our methodology is characterized by its enhancement of forecast precision through diligent minimization of a bespoke loss function. The algorithm’s innovation lies in its formulation, incorporating second-order relationships within the time series data: where are the computed weights ascribed to historical data, and denotes the error component. Our empirical analysis substantiates that by strategically accentuating pertinent coefficients and optimizing the loss function, there is a significant elevation in …

University Administration Bookshelf

Instructional designers, instructional systems designers, and other educational technologists are, by their nature, innovators. These professionals apply and extend the applied science of learning, systems, communication, and instructional design theory to help students learn. Technology in some capacity is used to make the connections between subject matter experts, teachers, instructors, and their learners. It is common for instructional designers to seek new tools, techniques, and innovations for the improvement of learning, access, quality, and student satisfaction. However, the adoption and diffusion of new educational technology and innovation is a complex process that depends on many variables. Understanding these processes and …

A Lidar-Driven Pruning Algorithm To Delineate Canopy Drainage Areas Of Stemflow And Throughfall Drip Points, Collin Wischmeyer, Travis E. Swanson, Kevin E. Mueller, Nicholas R. Lewis, Jillian Bastock, John T. Van Stan Ii

Biological, Geological, and Environmental Faculty Publications

Precipitation channelled down tree stems (stemflow) or into drip points of 'throughfall' beneath trees results in spatially concentrated inputs of water and chemicals to the ground. Currently, these flows are poorly characterised due to uncertainties about which branches redirect rainfall to stemflow or throughfall drip points. We introduce a graph theoretic algorithm that 'prunes' quantitative structural models of trees (derived from terrestrial LiDAR) to identify branches contributing to stemflow and those contributing to throughfall drip points. To demonstrate the method's utility, we analysed two trees with similar canopy sizes but contrasting canopy architecture and rainfall partitioning behaviours. For both trees, …

The Fight For Purity: Hiram Evans And The Second Ku Klux Klan, Ava Jackson

English: Student Scholarship & Creative Works

The Klu Klux Klan of the 1920s, known as the second Klan, built its three to six million members quicker than any previous group. The Klan continued the traditions of earlier generations, including the notorious robes, masks, and racist attitudes toward African Americans. In addition, anti-Semitism and anti-Catholicism grew, which further increased animosity and reshaped what it meant to be a terrorist in America. Through the leadership of Hiram Wesley Evans, a small-practice dentist, who quickly rose in the ranks to later become Imperial Wizard of the Klan in 1922, the Klan was altered in a way never seen before. …

Bridging Thought And Action: History, The Digital Humanities, And Building The Foundations Of Asian/American Political Thought, Vivian Yan-Gonzalez

Asian American Studies Faculty Articles and Research

This article argues that understanding the historical contours of Asian American electoral engagement provides an essential foundation for studying Asian/American political thought. However, historians have tended to adopt a broad understanding of "politics" beyond traditional civic and electoral politics, due to limited historical sources on Asian American electoral engagement and the longstanding interest among Asian Americanist scholars in alternative politics. I reintroduce Asian American electoral history as a vital and viable subject of study by exploring how scholars can use digital humanities tools and methods to build the archives of Asian American politics and to explore new insights and questions.

Collaborative Research Report: Personal Assistance Workforce Capacity And Quality Outcomes, Luke Santore, Catherine Ipsen, Lillie Greiman, Lina Stepick

Employment

The growing demand for home-based care services contends with a major shortage of personal care aide (PCA) workers. PCAs support older adults and people with disabilities in home and community-based settings with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, eating, and more. A thriving PCA workforce is necessary to match demand for home and community-based care. However, persistently low wages and poor job quality lead to high rates of turnover and shortages in the workforce. This research report aims to understand the relationship between PCA workforce capacity and quality of consumer-reported care for long-term services and supports.
