Stratified external mixing at moderate Richardson number
No full textStratified turbulent mixing remains an unsolved problem. Turbulent mixing is complicated by its intermittent nature, its highly vortical motion and the large range of scales of its coherent structures. In order to help reduce the problem to a more tractable form, we consider vortex rings as a reproducible, idealized form of a turbulent coherent structure of a defined length and velocity scale. We generate vortex rings in a stably stratified two-layer fluid of varying Richardson number and observe the vortex ring induced mixing. While previous work has looked at the effect of individual vortex rings on the stratified interface, we analyze the aggregate mixing induced over many vortex ring generations. Over successive vortex rings collisions, the mixing rate converges to a constant for a range of Richardson numbers
Policy Analysis of Special Immigrant Juvenile Status S.B. 873
No full textThe purpose of this paper was to conduct a policy analysis on California's S.B. 873 which was enacted in 2014 and focuses on unaccompanied immigrant minors. This population was narrowed to those entering the U.S. from Central American countries Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. This analysis used an Intersectionality-Based Policy Analysis (IBPA) Framework. The results demonstrated that this population has multi-layered needs when going through immigration proceedings to which there are many barriers to being successful in achieving U.S. residency. Some of these barriers include, language barriers and lack of legal representation, economic hardships based on the lack of benefits available to them, and lack of trauma focused care. S.B. 873 challenges and provides money for legal representation to become more available, expands benefits that this population can qualify for, and provides a path to appoint guardianship. This policy analysis explored the gaps in S.B. 873 through an Intersectionality-Based Policy Framework. Through this analysis, the author offers recommendations for future care of unaccompanied minors as they deal with the immigration system.by Carolina Cardoz

Pisma Krzysztofa Kluka jako źródło leksykalne do Słownika języka polskiego S.B. Lindego
No full textThe aim of this paper is to discuss the writings by Krzysztof Kluk (1739–1796), a naturalist of the Enlightenment, the author of Dykcjonarz roślinny (Dictionary of plants) and guidebooks in the fi elds of botany, zoology, and mineralogy as lexical sources of Słownik języka polskiego (Dictionary of Polish) by S.B. Linde (LD). The paper presents an analysis of the material excerpted from Volumes 1 and 3 of LD, which has allowed the estimation that K. Kluk is discussed more frequently in the dictionary than J. Kochanowski, P. Kochanowski, J. Przybylski, and only slightly less frequently than M. Rej and W. Potocki. The material has been analysed also with the use of the method of semantic fields, which has enabled identification of the thematic circles that allow the determination of the angle from which S.B. Linde excerpted vocabulary from K. Kluk’s writings. The lexis from Kluk’s works in LD is not limited only to names of plants, animals or minerals; it covers also parts of the body, animal husbandry (e.g. horses, birds, bee-keeping, fishery), gardening, agriculture, animal diseases, metal and mineral working, transport, construction, home appliances, food, clothes, and social life
