Plans for a Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND)
No full textGRAND will be a huge antenna array for air showers initiated by ultra-high-energy cosmic particles, aiming at the discovery of their sources. The primary targets are tau neutrinos interacting in mountains and producing tau leptons. Some of these will initiate atmospheric particle cascades detectable by its radio emission. The final configuration of GRAND will span 200,000 km2. It will reach sufficient sensitivity for a guaranteed detection of the GZK neutrinos produced during propagation of cosmic-ray nuclei. Additionally, GRAND aims to detect astrophysical neutrinos produced at the sources. The annual exposure for cosmic rays and photons will exceed that of current experiments by an order of magnitude. Thus, GRAND will be a multi-messenger instrument by itself. A prototype is already under construction in China. From 2020 on, an array of 300 antennas will measure cosmic rays. The neutrino search will start around 2025 with the first 10,000 antennas covering about 10,000 km2

Toward Fiscal Sustainability in the New Economy: A Case Study of Grand Rapids, Michigan
No full textFiscal stress has confronted many American cities during the past six years, as global economic restructuring and reduced inter-governmental transfers undermined traditional revenue sources. Consequently, city governments have scrambled to implement fiscal policies that support core services within the constraints of available resources. The City of Grand Rapids, Michigan is examined as a case study of a Midwestern core city that is in the process of shifting from unsustainable to sustainable fiscal policies. Ultimately, the author concludes, the City should be able to achieve sustainability without relying upon outside resources (i.e., inter-governmental transfers, joint service provision, or large-scale privatization), although obtaining such resources obviously would be beneficial. From a fiscal standpoint, this conclusion challenges the notion that core cities lack the internal capacity to meet their most critical challenges
The Grand Rapids Civil Rights Movement From 1954-1969: A Sociological Study
No full textAlthough advancements have been achieved over the past 30 years, many experts would argue that the problems that plague the African-American community have not changed much. The American Civil Rights Movement has been credited with improving the quality of life of under-represented minorities. The purpose of this study is to examine whether or not the Civil Rights Movement helped to improve the status of the African-American community in Grand Rapids, Michigan. A thorough analysis of the local newspaper, the Grand Rapids Press, from 1954-1969, supplies the empirical data utilized as the foundation of this research. The local data was applied to Doug McAdam’s political process model and this study focuses on political opportunities, indigenous organizational strength, cognitive liberation, and support from liberal external groups. The interplay of these factors helps to evaluate the Civil Rights Movement’s success in Grand Rapids. The research determined that the local African-American community was unable to utilize the opportunities due to internal conflict and the political hegemony’s refusal to acknowledge the existence of such a movement
