Taylor L. Cole Interview
No full textTaylor L. Cole (B.A. 2003, M.A. 2005) was interviewed by Valeria Reynosa via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on February 22, 2021. Ms. Cole was born and raised in a small town in Oklahoma, where she experienced the lack of racial diversity as she was one of the few Black residents in the community. After her parents separated, Ms. Cole moved with her mother to Oklahoma City. She attended a high school that was much more diverse than the elementary and middle school in her hometown. Ms. Cole learned about SMU during visits to the Dallas area to see her father and to participate in cheerleading competitions. While at SMU, she majored in Communication, Broadcast Journalism, and Sociology, and was involved in numerous communications projects, which influenced her to continue pursuing a career in television reporting. She then pursued a master's in Conflict Management and Dispute Resolution, and graduated in 2005. After graduating, she worked in communications for numerous corporations such as Humana Insurance, Hotels.com, Sabre, and many others. In 2014, she won the Black Alumni History Maker award and describes how proud she was of the achievement. Ms. Cole then became host for the popular series ''Hotel Hunt,'' where she travels around the country to introduce audiences to beautiful places to stay. She is also involved in successful projects like ''The Focus'' and ''Speak Up'' podcast series. She ends the interview by discussing her experiences as a Black woman in her career and reflects on her time as an SMU student

Models of hierarchical: galaxy formation
Full text linkA semi-analytic galaxy formation model, N-body GALFORM, is developed which uses outputs from an N-body simulation to follow the merger histories of dark matter halos and treats baryonic processes using the semi-analytic model of Cole et al. We find that, apart from limited mass resolution, the only significant differences between this model and the Monte-Carlo based model of Cole et al. are due to known inaccuracies in the distribution of halo progenitor masses in the Monte-Carlo method. N-body GALFORM is used to compare Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and semi-analytic calculations of radiative cooling in the absence of star formation. We consider two cases: firstly, a simulation of a representative volume of the Universe with relatively poor mass resolution, and, secondly, a high resolution simulation of the formation of a single galaxy. We find good agreement between the models in terms of the mass of gas which cools in each halo, the masses of individual galaxies, and the spatial distribution of the galaxies. The semi-analytic model is then compared with a realistic, high-resolution galaxy simulation which includes prescriptions for star formation and feedback. A semi-analytic model without feedback is found to best reproduce the masses of the simulated galaxy and its progenitors. This model is used to populate a large volume with semi-analytic galaxies. The resulting luminosity function has an order of magnitude too many galaxies at high and low luminosities. We conclude that, while SPH and semi-analytic cooling calculations are largely consistent and therefore likely to be reasonably reliable, current numerical models of galaxy formation still contain major uncertainties due to the treatment of feedback, which will lead them to predict very different galaxy populations. Further work is required to find simulation algorithms which can simultaneously produce realistic individual galaxies and a population with reasonable statistical properties

Distribution. At present, known only from the vicinity of the Kaweah River in the Sequoia National Forest. Habitat. Found in tangles and among grass along a stream flowing out of a side canyon. Also collected on bushes along the road paralleling the Kaweah River. Seasonal occurrence. Males were active and females were a mixture of last instar nymphs, teneral adults, and mature adults in late June (25-VI-2017, JA Cole & W Chatfield-Taylor, LACM). By August this species was rare (12-VIII-2015, JA Cole, LACM). This species may be active earlier in the season than sympatric N. sequoia. Stridulatory file. (n = 7) length 2.7–3.4 mm, 126–173 teeth, tooth density 51.0 ± 4.9 (45.8–60.7) teeth/mm. Song. (n = 7) Unique. The PTR of 5.1 ± 0.3 s- 1 is much faster than any other Sequoia or Sierranus Group species, and twice as fast as sympatric N. sequoia. The MPTL is brief at 72.3 9.1 ms. The short MPTL contributes to a low PTdc of 35.8 ± 4.9%. PTF of 17.0 ± 1.0 kHz is higher than other Sequoia Group species and is difficult to hear except at short range. Karyotype. (n = 3) 2n♁= 21 (18t + XtXtYm), shared with N. sierranus, JCT 15-12, paratopotype. Recognition. Male N. duplocantans are separated from sympatric N. sequoia by stridulatory file tooth density (47–52 teeth/mm vs. 55–59 teeth/mm, respectively). To the north, N. inversa has a similarly constricted pronotum but that species also has a higher tooth density (64–68 teeth/mm). Male N. prorocantans to the south have similar stridulatory files but have a weakly constricted pronotum. The fast song PTR is unique, and readily separates this species by ear from syntopic N. sequoia as well as from neighboring N. prorocantans to the south, as well as N. inversa to the north due to the multiple OPT in that species. Adult activity apparently commences earlier in the season than N. sequoia in areas where they co-occur, but the two species may be found together in midsummer. Etymology. l. duplo “twice as much, double” + cantans “singing,” referring to the rate of PT production that is twice as fast as a sympatric congener. Notes. This species was discovered by song while collecting a series of N. sequoia, and its distinctiveness was appreciated further when cytogenetic analysis revealed a distinct karyotype. The discovery of two morphologically cryptic Sequoia Group species (N. duplocantans and N. sequoia) that are both sympatric and syntopic is of considerable evolutionary interest. The species pair has diverged in several aspects: calling song, karyotype, and phenology. The calling song PTR differed by a factor of two. Considering the remarkably different songs and distinct karyotypes, stasipatric and secondary contact hypotheses should be tested in the Sequoia Group. With N. duplocantans adult activity commencing before N. sequoia have matured, allochronic isolation may also be evolving between the two species. Two females among the paratype series were identified through rDNA sequence (Figs. 4-5). Introgression of mtDNA among the Sequoia Group species (Fig. 4) is expected if young, geographically proximal species have a history of hybridization as observed in Aglaothorax (Cole 2016).
