Unfinished Business: Twenty-First Century Questions Posed by Ambiguities in the Upper Colorado River Basin Compact and the Law of the River
No full textThe Law of the River, particularly those components relating to Upper Colorado River water allocation, usage, and measurement, is rife with ambiguities and uncertainties. In the twenty-first century, facing a future with less water, these ambiguities pose serious problems. The ongoing process for the development of the Post-2026 Colorado River Operating Guidelines presents an ideal opportunity to address these issues. This Article gives a brief history of the Law of the River, with an eye toward the origins of the stream depletion theory, beneficial consumptive use, and tribal water allocations. The authors then explore potential approaches to addressing the challenges posed by these three areas. The Article concludes by urging water leaders in the Upper Colorado River Basin to consider these solutions in their development of Post-2026 Guidelines
Exploring Perspectives on Student Engagement and Learning Outcomes in Online-Offline English Teaching: A Structured Assessment Using SuperHyperSoft and PSI Methods
No full textBetween Two Countries: The Impact of Globalization and Deglobalization on Generation 1.5 Chinese International Students in the U.S.
No full textThis study examines how Generation 1.5 Chinese international students, those who moved to the U.S. as teenagers and completed secondary education there, construct their identities amid globalization and the growing trend of deglobalization. Through in-depth interviews with 10 participants, it explores how they navigate their transnational experiences, negotiate belonging, and respond to shifting cultural expectations and perceptions from both China and the U.S. Using critical thematic analysis, the study goes beyond identifying recurring themes by analyzing the power relations, discourses, and sociopolitical dynamics that shape participants’ experiences. Findings reveal that geopolitical tensions, restrictive policies, and evolving public discourse in both countries influence not only the students’ educational and career decisions but also how they see themselves. This research contributes to broader discussions on identity, power, and mobility, offering insight into the lived experiences of Gen 1.5 international students at the intersection of competing national narratives and global forces
Ab-Initio Phase Discovery with Neural Quantum States
No full textIn this thesis we study the quantum many-body problem with tools from machine learning. In particular, we utilize Neural Quantum States (NQS) as an ansatz in Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) simulations. First, we develop a method to train NQS more reliably in an effort to reduce the total computational cost of finding the ground state of strongly-correlated systems. Then, we develop an expressive NQS ansatz to study two-dimensional materials and perform ab-initio phase discovery. In particular, we consider the two-dimensional electron gas, and provide state-of-the-art energies and characterization of the phase diagram. We also find evidence of a novel state between the Fermi liquid and Wigner crystal which we call a Nematic Spin Correlated Liquid (NSCL). Lastly, we turn our attention to a moir\\u27e system with a honeycomb potential. With minor modifications to the ansatz, we find a highly correlated state we call an interaction-driven molecular Wigner crystal. With the increasing interest in NQS as an accurate method to study the many-body problem and recent advances in experimentally studying two-dimensional materials, we expect the technical developments and physical results presented in this thesis to be valuable to theorists and experimentalists
SAUDI UNIVERSITY-BASED LANGUAGE INSTRUCTORS’ PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY: A NARRATIVE STUDY
No full textLanguage instructors’ professional identity involves a multitude of factors and characteristics that explain practices, meanings, and values, particularly pedagogical ones, that contribute to the identification of identity(s) (Block, 2007; Beauchamp & Thomas, 2009; Beijaard et al., 2004; Miller, 2009; Varghese et al., 2005). Guided by narrative approach (Clandinin, 2015; Clandinin & Connelly, 2000; Connelly & Clandinin, 1988, 1990; Oliver, 1998; Riessman, 2008) and communities of practice (CoP) principles (Wenger, 1998), this study employed eight narrative prompts to answer two research questions: (1) how do Saudi university-based EFL language instructors construct their professional identity without their entitled academic privileges and/or accommodations?; (2) what does their future professional aspiration reveal about their current professional identity? The study’s findings have implications for EFL academic education programs, suggesting the need to revise the regulations that affect EFL language instructors and support the formation of their professional identities based on their lived experiences
