Resolvent Estimates In L∞ For The Stokes Operator In Nonsmooth Domains, Jun Geng, Zhongwei Shen

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We establish resolvent estimates in spaces of bounded solenoidal functions for the Stokes operator in a bounded domain Ω in Rd under the assumptions that Ω is C1 for d≥3 and Lipschitz for d=2. As a corollary, it follows that the Stokes operator generates a uniformly bounded analytic semigroup in the spaces of bounded solenoidal functions in Ω. The smoothness conditions on Ω are sharp. The case of exterior domains with nonsmooth boundaries is also studied. The key step in our proof involves new estimates that connect the pressure to the gradient of the velocity in the Lq average, but …

Majority Of Utahns Support Keeping Bears Ears National Monument As Originally Designated, Michaelann Nelson

Utah People and Environment Poll (UPEP)

Bears Ears National Monument in Southeastern Utah was established in 2016 by President Obama after a coalition of Native American petitioned for its designation. In 2017, during his first administration, President Trump reduced the size of the monument by 85%. It was subsequently restored to the original boundaries in 2021 by President Biden. In 2022, the Utah Legislature provided $5 million in funding for the Attorney General’s office to challenge the Bears Ears National Monument designation, and the State of Utah filed a lawsuit in August 2022 challenging the designation (1).

Quasi-Optimal Cyclic Orbit Codes, Chiara Castello, Heide Gluesing-Luerssen, Olga Polverino, Ferdinando Zullo

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We focus on two aspects of cyclic orbit codes: invariants under equivalence and quasi-optimality. Regarding the first aspect, we establish a connection between the cyclic orbit code generated by a subspace U of Fqn and the associated linear set LU×U. Relating the size of the linear set to the number of fractions formed by the elements of U allows us to derive new bounds on the parameters of the cyclic orbit code. In the second part, we study a particular family of (quasi-)optimal cyclic orbit codes. With the aid of these codes we establish the existence of quasi-optimal codes in …

Architectural Engineering Programs In The United States, Sachi Goli

Architectural Engineering

This paper revises and presents the curriculum and demographic data for the 26 ABET accredited Architectural Engineering programs in the United States. It is an update to the 2007 paper: “Architectural Engineering Programs: Finding Common  Ground” in which the 17 existing ABET accredited programs were analyzed based on their course offerings, diversity of organization, and their common ground in the academic community. The courses offered by each university in this paper have been classified into 14 categories: Communication, Humanities, Math and Science, Engineering Science, Structural Engineering, Mechanical Systems, Construction, Electrical Systems, Other, Freshman Experience, Architecture, Senior Capstone experience, Co-op/intern experience, …

Exploring Slow Librarianship As An Intervention To Support Library Workers With Adhd, Valerie Linsinbigler, Liana Bayne-Lin

Faculty Scholarship

While scholarly conversations about supporting library patrons who are neurodivergent have grown in the past years, conversations about library workers who are neurodivergent lag behind. As it becomes easier to encourage students to destigmatize their neurodivergence, share their experiences, and seek formal and informal accommodations in university spaces, when, and how, will it become easier for neurodivergent library workers to do the same?

Perhaps slow librarianship is one answer to this question. Following in the footsteps of Jocelyn Swick-Jemison (2023), this chapter is part autoethnography, in which two early-career librarians will share their perspective of learning how to be liaison …

Living Between The Lines: Economic Insecurity And Older Americans, Caitlin E. Coyle, Michelle Ward, Nidya Velasco Roldán, Ceara Somerville, Jan Mutchler

Center for Social and Demographic Research on Aging Publications

New estimates from the 2025 Elder Index(TM) suggest that over half of older adults living alone, and about one out of four older couples, lack the financial resources required to pay for basic needs. We compared household incomes for adults age 65 and above living in one- and two-person households to the 2025 Elder Index for each state to calculate Economic Insecurity Rates (EIRs), the percentage of independent adults age 65 or older with annual incomes that do not support economic security. National averages suggest that 53% of older adults living alone and 25% of older couples have annual incomes …

The Untold Story Of 150 Years Of Women In State Judiciaries, Elizabeth D. Katz

A focus on the U.S. Constitution and federal judges has obscured a longer and more complex history of women serving on state benches — and how state constitutions mattered in their rise.

Trade, Tariffs, Sanctions, And Security: A Framework For Judicial Review, Cory Alexander Evans

UF Law Faculty Publications

National security and international trade, and their intersections, have become critical focuses for recent administrative action. It was once rare to invoke national security as a justification for tariffs and restriction on foreign investment, but it has now become increasingly common. Courts reviewing these measures have largely defaulted to deferential approaches developed in an earlier era—one in which such actions were infrequent and rarely litigated. But in an era where assertions of national security are more common, this dogmatic jurisprudential approach lacks coherence. A new framework is needed to better guide judicial review.

This Article proposes that new framework. It …

Task Intensive Virtual Circulation Management To Meet Rising Patron Demand: Analyzing Ebook And Eaudiobook Acquisition Workflows In Fulton County Libraries, Elizabeth F. Keathley, Stephanie Galipeau

Georgia Library Quarterly

Managing eBook hold times while adhering to budget constraints is a critical challenge for public libraries. In a budgetary landscape where models of licensing and cost are in constant flux, this article offers a snapshot in time of strategies employed by the Fulton County Library System (FCLS) in Atlanta, Georgia, during Spring and Summer 2024. Librarians deployed a multi-pronged approach of daily carts in OverDrive, daily monitoring and response to patron holds and recommendations, daily updates of OverDrive records and bi-weekly updates of Hoopla records to meet patron demand. Documenting strategies like these is crucial for collection management professionals adapting …

Put Your Best Chat Forward: Analyzing Chat Reference For Best Practices, Kytt Everdeen Moore, Tera A. Ray, Emily Rogers

Georgia Library Quarterly

Chat transcript analysis studies are a proven method of evaluating levels of instruction and patron satisfaction. For more than 20 years, Odum Library at Valdosta State University has offered chat service but had never conducted an assessment. In summer 2024, three reference librarians at VSU reviewed literature and developed a means of evaluating 520 chat transcripts from spring semester 2024. Using a codebook implemented through a Qualtrics form, the researchers analyzed transcripts to examine the ways library reference staff responded to chat questions and to develop a list of best practices. The analysis showed that while most transactions had high …

Responsible Ai In Teaching And Learning, Asa B. Stone, Mark C. Stone, Derek M. Heeren, Santosh Pitla

PRAIRIE: Pioneering Responsible AI for Research, Innovation, and Education

The rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education presents both transformative opportunities and significant pedagogical risks. While AI tools are becoming embedded in academic and professional environments, their integration into teaching and learning raises critical questions about cognitive engagement, academic integrity, equity, and skill development. This white paper proposes a principled framework for the responsible integration of AI in higher education, grounded in the dual commitment to AI literacy and the cultivation of durable skills.

The framework articulates six core principles: purposefulness; transparency; integrity and attribution; critical AI literacy; equity and access; and privacy and data protection. …

The Federal Death Penalty As A Sign Of The Times, Ngozi Ndulue

Georgia State University Law Review

Scholars have been predicting the demise of the American death penalty for much of the twenty-first century. This prediction finds support in state-by-state abolition, reduced numbers of new death sentences, and continued reductions in the death row population. Despite significant movement away from the death penalty, the punishment remains stubbornly persistent, with a small number of states continuing to aggressively pursue executions and scattered local jurisdictions securing a disproportionate amount of new death sentences.

While several legal academics have looked to historical precedent and international experience to map the future trajectory of the American death penalty, this Article seeks to …

The Free Exercise Of Religion As A Privilege, Kyron Huigens

Georgia State University Law Review

In the span of a decade, the Supreme Court has restructured the Free Exercise Clause entirely. It has removed the counterweight of disestablishment; it has sought parity between religion and secularity by means of strict scrutiny analysis turning on a principle of nondiscrimination; and it has opened the way to a general exemption from secular law for the faithful by ceding the question of what counts as an exercise of religion to the faithful themselves. This Article proposes reading the free exercise of religion as a privilege in response to these changes. This privilege stands against secular law in the …

Affordable Housing Cooperatives As Shared Equity Homeownership: Part I – An Expanded View Of Organizational Law And Its Governance Dimensions, Jerome Hughes

Georgia State University Law Review

Scholars and advocates have emphasized affordable housing cooperatives as an important opportunity for shared equity homeownership. Yet, except for a few jurisdictions, these entities comprise a small share of the housing market. This article situates the limited presence of affordable housing cooperatives as arising from the constraints and frameworks of organizational law.

Using affordable housing cooperatives as a descriptive context, this Article advocates for an expanded view of what constitutes organizational law. A first and foundational claim of an expanded view is that while business entity statutes are important loci, organizational law is constituted by multiple areas of law. Secondly, …

Undue Burdens: Georgia’S Life Act And Its Disporportionate Impact On Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence, Kathryn A. Hammock

Georgia State University Law Review

More than half of women in Georgia report experiencing some form of intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime. Women experiencing IPV are not only at greater risk of unintended pregnancy, but those who do become pregnant often face more frequent and severe abuse, increasing their risk of miscarriage. Despite clear evidence of its impact on women’s reproductive health and access to abortion, consideration of IPV is largely absent from policy discussions concerning abortion restrictions and bans.

This Note explores the outsized impact that Georgia’s Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act has on women experiencing IPV—effectively functioning as a …

Addressing The Inadequacies Of Defamation Law As A Method Of Stopping Disinformation: The Possibilities Of Post-Adjudication Injunctive Relief, Elijah Byrd

Georgia State University Law Review

Individuals harmed by weaponized disinformation possess only one avenue for legal recourse: bringing a defamation suit in civil court. Monetary damages are the standard remedy for the defamed, and while sufficient in some cases, plaintiffs may seek to use the legal system to stop the further spread of the very disinformation that harmed them. In theory, a large judgment or settlement should deter the defamer from continuing to spread disinformation. However, reality shows that this is not always the case, as payments of judgments are held up in bankruptcy court, or the defamer continues to spread lies about the plaintiff, …

Arbitration Unplugged: Heckman V. Live Nation And The Future Of Compelled Arbitration, Will Knowles

Journal of Dispute Resolution

“Long story short, it was a bad time.” The lyrics from Taylor Swift’s 2020 song Long Story Short resonated strongly with her fans in 2022 when they attempted to purchase tickets to her record breaking Eras Tour. The self-proclaimed “Swifties” waited for weeks to purchase presale through the tour’s official ticketing partner, Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster, an American ticketing giant owned by Live Nation, handles over seventy percent of all ticket transactions in the country. November 15 arrived and the Swiftie army entered the virtual queue with hopes of securing tickets to see their hero. Ticketmaster, however, did not prepare for the …
