Boosted objects and jet substructure at the LHC. Report of BOOST2012, held at IFIC Valencia, 23rd–27th of July 2012
No full textAltheimer, A. et al.This report of the BOOST2012 workshop presents the results of four working groups that studied key aspects of jet substructure. We discuss the potential of first-principle QCD calculations to yield a precise description of the substructure of jets and study the accuracy of state-of-the-art Monte Carlo tools. Limitations of the experiments’ ability to resolve substructure are evaluated, with a focus on the impact of additional (pile-up) proton proton collisions on jet substructure performance in future LHC operating scenarios. A final section summarizes the lessons learnt from jet substructure analyses in searches for new physics in the production of boosted top quarks.We thank the Spanish Center for Particle Physics,
Astroparticle and Nuclear Physics (CPAN), the regional government (Generalitat Valenciana), Heidelberg University and IFIC (U. Valencia/CSIC) for their generous support of the BOOST2012 conference.Peer reviewe

Exposing the Process of Erasing the Negro: Slavery, Romantic Racialism and Masochism in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'
No full textIn this essay, I explore a rhetorical method, used in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, that reflects\ud
white anti-slavery sentiments of Blacks. The author, Harriet Beecher Stowe, exhibits a strong\ud
ethos which I argue values Black spirituality above Black physicality. This was done to paint a\ud
soft, yet “humanizing” gloss which made Black slaves acceptable to the larger white public. In\ud
doing so, Stowe bonds her protagonist Tom, a black Christian slave, to embody what is the ideal\ud
Christian should be. While her writing of the novel is influenced by her family and upbringing, I\ud
explore the ways in which Stowe uses Tom as a metaphorical representation of Black humanity.\ud
More importantly, I examine her rhetorical method of romanticizing Tom’s pain in the novel and\ud
the extent to which it compromises the existence of Tom. Furthermore, Stowe’s appropriation of\ud
violence in the novel between Tom and his third slave master Simon raises questions on the\ud
appropriateness of Christianity motivating Tom to value the afterlife over life on Earth. With this\ud
concern, I examine how Tom’s humanity and behavior is romanticized and how it perpetuates\ud
Black stereotypes. Compared to that of renowned literary critic James Baldwin, who argues\ud
Tom’s religiosity allows him to develop an ethos that renders him to die on earth, I examine the\ud
extent to which Tom’s religiosity limits his existence while living. Yet, the implications of\ud
Stowe’s choice to link stereotypes with Tom, in a novel that sold over one-million copies in\ud
under a year, must be examined as well—just as the text attempts to examine and protest the\ud
brutality of slavery through painting Tom as a religious saint. Thus, I argue that Tom sacrifices\ud
his physical existence for the spiritual, which perpetuates the (white) view of blacks as especially\ud
religious, devaluing their physical humanity

Barnett, Jr [on left].Richard S. "Dick" Barnett, Jr., born 1906, was a trustee of the Ben J. Altheimer Foundation, a cotton research chair at the University of Arkansas. He promoted cotton and national programs for better agriculture. He served as Mayor of Altheimer, Arkansas, and was involved in several agricultural programs and organizations. In 1967 Mr. Barnett received the Man of the Year Award in Arkansas from Progressive Farmer magazine. He received an honorary LL.D from the University of Arkansas in 1968.

What Remains: Telling the Story of Irene Taylor\u27s Murder
No full textThis written thesis serves as a companion piece to What Remains, a six-part audio podcast telling the story of Irene Taylor, a 19-year-old sharecropper’s daughter who was murdered in Altheimer, Arkansas, in 1939. The investigation of the murder, which garnered national press attention, ended with the conviction and execution of Sylvester Williams, a 22-year-old Black man also from Altheimer. This paper expands on the contextual research done in support of the podcast, including close readings of newspaper coverage and fictionalized magazine reports of the case; an examination of the Delta environment’s racialized history and its impact on the lives of 1930s Arkansans; and an investigation of the state-sponsored racial violence evidenced in Sylvester Williams’ trial and execution. In addition, this thesis reflects on the creative process of documenting the Irene Taylor story as a member of her extended family, including meditating on issues of documentary form, narrative authority, and family trauma and memory
