Portia in Primetime: Women Lawyers, Television, and L.A. Law
No full textThe following paper was written in March 1989, when L.A. Law was still in its third season and the author was in her last year at Harvard Law School. The analysis is based on events and characters prior to April 1, 1989. An unedited version of the paper is on file at Harvard Law School. The Epilogue included here updates the author\u27s review of L.A. Law through March 15, 1990

L.A. Tabulae ad Astra
No full textL.A.: Tabulae ad Astra (Los Angeles: Maps to the Stars) is a series of prints integrating portions of street maps of Los Angeles with gestural lines, impromptu marks from testing pen nibs, and cutting lines on boards—all unwittingly produced in the artist’s studio while working on other projects. The combined layers of intersecting and overlapping marks take on a surprising cartographic character that is reinforced by additional ancient map-like elements such as measurement grids, Latin phrases, beastiary, and scale markers. The resultant prints are also physically connected to the Los Angeles landscape, being printed on paper that was first soaked and stained in the waters of the L.A. River. Together Tabulae ad Astra plays on the constant tensions of control vs. freedom, order vs. complexity, safety vs. adventure, and city vs. wilderness.

A Look Back on the L.A. Riots: Black-Korean Relations
No full textWhat is the future of Black-Korean communities, post-L.A. riots? According to the author, there is an absence of Asian American issues in books devoted to race relations between ethnic minorities in the U.S. This thesis examines the Los Angeles riots, the histories of each group, and data from qualitative interviews. The author gives an objective and honest analysis of black-Korean relations despite racial, economic, and political biases. Methodology includes qualitative interviews of black respondents and Korean-American respondents
Deviation of international practical temperatures from thermodynamic temperatures in the temperature range from 273.16 K to 730 K
No full textThe range over which thermodynamic temperatures have been realized by gas thermometry at the NBS has been extended to 730 K. The results are preserved by measuring the corresponding international practical temperatures. The difference between them is expressed as the following polynomial: T/K-T68/K68= -120,887.784/T2 68 + 1213.53295/T68 -4.3159552 + 6.44075647 X 10-3T68 - 3.56638846 X 10-6 T2 68 which is valid in the range 273 to 730 K. The difference found and the estimated uncertainties at the three defining fixed points in the range covered are [table not included

The Interchangeable Roles of Music and Technology in Computer-Supported Education
No full textScientific literature has frequently focused on the contribution offered by technology to support music education at various levels. A less investigated subject is the possibility of using multimedia and musical languages to encourage the acquisition of digital competences. In this vision, the roles of mediator and disciplinary goal– which in the context of computer-supported education are traditionally assigned to technology and music, respectively – are reversed. These concepts will be exemplified through applications which explore the relationship between music and technology from a new point of view, merging the two fields and making traditional roles more nuanced, thus encouraging the development of higher-order thinking skills. This paper summarizes the keynote lecture held by the author at the 4th International Conference on New Music Concepts – ICNMC 2017
