Genauer (Ben) interview
No full textThis accession is part of the Washington State Jewish Archives.
Extraneous sounds occur in the recording including sirens. Audio recording ends at page 15 of the transcript.
Genauer discusses his father, Moses Genauer, his immigration to Seattle in 1909 from the Galicia region of eastern Europe, and his wholesale clothing business, including his opening a clothing factory called the �Manzi Manufacturing Company� in 1936. Ben Genauer describes the life and death of his brother Sam in Jerusalem, Moses� love of teaching, his time at the University of Washington, and talks about his mother.
Genauer mentions his father�s involvement with the vice president of the National Bank of Commerce � Robert R. Spencer was in that position at that time.To request a high resolution or uncompressed reproduction, or to obtain permission to use any portion of this item, contact the University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections.

Marine ecosystem model analysis using data assimilation
No full textNumerical modelling of the marine ecosystem requires the aggregation of diverse chemical and biological species into broad categories. To avoid large bias errors it is preferable to resolve as many explicit state variables and processes as possible. The cost of this increased complexity is greater uncertainty in model parameters and output. When comparing models, the importance of quantifying both bias error and the variability of unconstrained solutions was revealed as two marine ecosystem models were calibrated to data. Results demonstrated that all prior parameter information must include realistic error estimates if model uncertainty is to be quantified. Five simple ecosystem models were calibrated to observations from two North Atlantic sites; the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) and the North Atlantic Bloom Experiment (NABE). Model-data mists were reduced by between 45 and 50%. The addition of model complexity (a parameterised microbial loop, a variable chlorophyll a to nitrogen ratio and dissolved organic nitrogen) led to larger improvements in model performance at BATS relative to NABE. Calibrated parameter values developed at NABE performed better than the default parameter values when applied at BATS. Solutions developed at BATS performed worse than the default values at NABE. The models lacked sufficient ecological complexity to function well at BATS. Errors in the model were masked by errors in the calibrated parameters and the models did not perform well with regard to independent data. The models were well suited to reproducing the NABE data, and the calibrated models performed relatively well at BATS. The models were sensitive to the underlying physical forcing. Although the ecosystem models were originally calibrated within a poor representation of the physical environment at BATS, results from experiments using an improved physical model support the conclusion that the ecosystem models lacked the required complexity at that site

Religion can both hurt and enhance democratic attitudes.
No full textWhat effect does religion have on democratic attitudes? Pazit Ben-Nun Bloom and Gizem Arikan outline the results of three studies they have conducted into the relationship between religion and democracy. They note that while religious belief can undermine democracy by generating more conservative values, religious social behaviour enhances support for democracy by fostering greater trust in institutions and engagement in politics
Autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper speaks at the Michigan Writers Series
No full textIn an appearance at the Michigan State University Main Library, autoworker and acclaimed author Ben Hamper talks about his career at the General Motors Truck and Bus Plant in Flint, Michigan and reads from various works, including his forward to the book "Working words: punching the clock and kicking out the jams" by M. L. Liebler and from his most famous work, "Rivethead", a cynical and humorous view of life in an auto plant. A question and answer session follows. Hamper is introduced by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series
Martin Loughlin, Public Law and Political Theory
No full textIn this chapter, Ben Yong discusses Martin Loughlin’s Public Law and Political Theory. Drawing in part on conversation with the author, Yong explores the significance of a book that, despite interrogating the nature of public law as a discipline in a novel and methodologically important way, is often poorly understood
