Opening the floodgates why America needs to rethink its borders and immigration laws
No full textSeeking to re-imagine the meaning and significance of the international border, Opening the Floodgates makes a case for eliminating the border as a legal construct that impedes the movement of people into this country. Open migration policies deserve fuller analysis, particularly on the eve of a presidential election. Kevin R. Johnson offers an alternative vision of how U.S. borders might be reconfigured, grounded in moral, economic, and policy arguments for open borders. Importantly, liberalizing migration through an open borders policy would recognize that the enforcement of closed borders cannot stifle the strong, perhaps irresistible, economic, social, and political pressures that fuel international migration. Controversially, Johnson suggests that open borders are entirely consistent with efforts to prevent terrorism that have dominated immigration enforcement since the events of September 11, 2001. More liberal migration, he suggests, would allow for full attention to be paid to the true dangers to public safety and national security.--Publisher description
Forficuloecus banksi Price, Johnson
No full textForficuloecus banksi Price, Johnson, and Palma, new species (Figs. 9–13) Type host. Psephotus varius Clark, 1910, the Mulga Parrot. Male. Dorsal abdomen as in Fig. 13. Tergal setae: II–VII, 5–8; VIII, 3–6. Tergite IX with well developed lateral plates, distinct median gap between them (Fig. 13). Sternal setae: II, 2; III, 3–6; IV–V, 4–8; VI, 6; VII, 4. Genitalia (Fig. 12) with long slender curved parameres and elongate "V"-shaped penis. Female. Head as in Fig. 11, dorsal abdomen as in Fig. 9. Tergal setae: II, 7–8; III, 5–8; IV, 8–9; V–VII, 6– 8; VIII, 4–6. Sternal setae: II, 2–4; III, 4–7; IV–V, 5–8; VI, 5–6; VII, 4. Ventral terminalia as in Fig. 10. Type material. Holotype male (ANIC), ex P. v a r i u s, AUSTRALIA: Northwest Territory, 2 May 2002, T. Chesser, ANWC 32856. Paratypes (INHS, UU): 4 males, 5 females, same data as holotype; 2 males, 1 female, same except ANWC 32871; 1 female, same except with only ANWC 32737. Remarks. The dimensions of the male of F. banksi place it closest to that of F. f o r f i c u l a (Piaget). However, the shape of the genitalic parameres and penis along with the smaller number of abdominal tergal setae afford separation. The female of F. banksi also appears similar to F. forficula, but the differences in dimensions and the number of tergal setae support separation. Etymology. This species is named for Jonathan Banks, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand, in recognition of his work on louse systematics.Published as part of Price, Roger D., Johnson, Kevin P. & Palma, Ricardo L., 2008, A review of the genus Forficuloecus Conci (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae) from parrots (Psittaciformes: Psittacidae), with descriptions of four new species, pp. 49-62 in Zootaxa 1859 on page 54, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18363
El ser racializado: el concepto de raza en las experiencias autobiográficas de Richard Rodriguez y Kevin R. Johnson
No full textabstract: Race is a complex system founded on social ideologies that categorize and evaluate human beings into different groups based on their visible characteristics (e.g., skin color) that, according to this notion of race, indicate a person's personal traits (e.g., intelligence). The concept of race has been an integral part of American society since the ratification of the United States Constitution in the late 18th century. Early on, the practice of race within American society established one particular group as the norm: the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the distinctions among racial groups essentially came down to "white" and "nonwhite." Consequently, certain social inequalities were bestowed upon those groups that did not fit the model of the dominant "white" group. Autobiographies, especially those from marginalized groups, can serve as an important source of these social disparities since the author is able to recount their own social experiences vis-à-vis racial practices within society. With this in mind, this thesis analyses the concept of race in relation to the personal experiences of two authors through their respective autobiographies: Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez (1982) by Richard Rodriguez and How Did You Get to Be Mexican?: A White/Brown Man's Search for Identity (1999) by Kevin R. Johnson. The critical work of Paula M. L. Moya, Linda Martín Alcoff, Hazel Rose Markus, George M. Fredrickson, Genaro M. Padilla and others are used as the theoretical framework in the literary analysis of these authors' texts. In summary, the results of this study demonstrate the concept of race as a salient aspect in regards to the ideological formation of each respective author.Dissertation/ThesisM.A. Spanish 201

Continuous metadata flows for distributed multimedia
No full textThe practical use of temporal multimedia has increased markedly in recent years as enabling technologies for the distribution and streaming of media have become available. As a part of this trend, hypermedia systems and models have adapted accordingly to incorporate such distributed multimedia for presentation. Structured interpretation of information has long been a fundamental feature of both open hypermedia systems and knowledge systems. Metadata, in its many forms, has become the cornerstone for providing this structured knowledge above and beyond basic data and information. This thesis presents the rationale and requirements for continuous metadata, which supports the metadata accompanying distributed multimedia throughout the lifecycle of streamed media, from generation, through distribution, to presentation. Throughout this process it is the temporal and continuous nature of the metadata which is paramount. A conceptual framework for continuous metadata is proposed to encapsulate these principles and ideas. Continuous metadata and the associated framework enable the development, in particular, of real-time, collaborative, semantically enriched distributed multimedia applications. Experience building one such system using continuous metadata is evaluated within the framework. An ontology is developed for the system to enable the collation, distribution, and presentation of structure aiding navigation of multimedia, and it is shown how continuous metadata utilising the ontology can be distributed using multicas

The lead author wrote this code to analyze multi-year re-sighting data collected from moose (Alces alces) in Minnesota, elk (Cervus elaphus) in Washington, and mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) in Washington and Alaska, to evaluate whether detection probabilities increased or decreased as a function of time since animals were captured.Fieberg, John R; White, Kevin S.
