Observing GRBs with EXIST
Get PDFWe describe the Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope EXIST, designed to carry out a sensitive all-sky survey in the 10 keV – 600 keV band. The primary goal of EXIST is to find black holes in the local and distant universe. EXIST also traces cosmic star formation via gamma-ray bursts and gamma-ray lines from radioactive elements ejected by supernovae and novae

How African American parents\u27 perspectives improve our schools for African American children
No full textThis capstone analyzes African American parents\u27 perspectives of what is happening to their children in schools. These perspectives can guide teachers and administrators in providing equitable education for African American children. The author was motivated to pursue this project from her experiences as an urban teacher and from the experiences her own African American child endured in two urban schools. In the review of literature, James Comer, Beatrice Fennimore, Asa Hilliard, Alfie Kohn, Jonathon Kozol, Floraline Stevens, and Belinda Williams emerged as leaders in equitable education for African American children. This study was based on interviews from parents of African American children attending an urban school district. Results concluded that parents expect teachers to have high expectations of their children, communication between school and families and teachers have cultural competence along with the implementation of strategies that motivate children and teach to the variety of learning styles children possess
A simulation study of the recession coefficient for antecedent precipitation index
Get PDFThe antecedent precipitation index (API) is a useful indicator of soil moisture conditions for watershed runoff calculations and recent attempts to correlate this index with spaceborne microwave observations have been fairly successful. It is shown that the prognostic equation for soil moisture used in some of the atmospheric general circulation models together with Thornthwaite-Mather parameterization of actual evapotranspiration leads to API equations. The recession coefficient for API is found to depend on climatic factors through potential evapotranspiration and on soil texture through the field capacity and the permanent wilting point. Climatologial data for Wisconsin together with a recently developed model for global isolation are used to simulate the annual trend of the recession coefficient. Good quantitative agreement is shown with the observed trend at Fennimore and Colby watersheds in Wisconsin. It is suggested that API could be a unifying vocabulary for watershed and atmospheric general circulation modelars
