Sixty Years of Community: St. Olaf Catholic Parish in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 1952-2012
Full text linkThis paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012

Northern Rover: The Life Story of Olaf Hanson
No full textFrom 1919 to 1970, Olaf Hanson was a trapper, fur trader, prospector, game guardian, fisherman, and road blasting expert in northeastern Saskatchewan. He told his life story to popular Saskatchewan author A. L. Karras, who wrote this historical memoir in the 1980s. In an uncompromising, straightforward style, Karras and Hanson reveal the geography, wildlife, natural history of the region as well as the business and social interactions between people. Their book offers a look at the vanished subsistence and commercial economy of the boreal forest, wound around a fascinating personal story of courage and physical stamina

Analysing the performance of the OLAF framework in the context of identifying music in movies
No full textThis paper presents the findings of a benchmark performed on the audio fingerprinting framework OLAF in the context of movie music. The goal is to find a music identification framework suitable for automatically identifying a song from a movie clip. This research aims to find how well OLAF performs in this context with regard to the criteria determined in the benchmark and to see if the performance can be increased. The OLAF framework makes use of parameters, which are individually tweaked and benchmarked with synthesised data. These findings are then combined to find a set of parameters that is used to perform this same benchmark on real clips from movies. The found parameter setup slightly increased the performance, going from 1 true positive and 133 false negatives in the original setup to 5 true positives, 3 false positives and 126 false negatives.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin
Lattice QCD results on soft and hard probes of strongly interacting matter
No full textKaczmarek O. Lattice QCD results on soft and hard probes of strongly interacting matter. Nuclear Physics A. 2017;967:137-144.We present recent results from lattice QCD relevant for the study of strongly
interacting matter as it is produced in heavy ion collision experiments. The
equation of state at non-vanishing density from a Taylor expansion up to
order will be discussed for a strangeness neutral system and using the
expansion coefficients of the series limits on the critical point are
estimated. Chemical freeze-out temperatures from the STAR and ALICE
Collaborations will be compared to lines of constant physics calculated from
the Taylor expansion of QCD bulk thermodynamic quantities. We show that
qualitative features of the dependence of skewness and kurtosis
ratios of net proton-number fluctuations measured by the STAR Collaboration can
be understood from QCD results for cumulants of conserved baryon-number
fluctuations. As an example for recent progress towards the determination of
spectral and transport properties of the QGP from lattice QCD, we will present
constraints on the thermal photon rate determined from a spectral
reconstruction of continuum extrapolated lattice correlation functions in
combination with input from most recent perturbative calculations
Recent Developments in Lattice Studies for Quarkonia
No full textKaczmarek O. Recent Developments in Lattice Studies for Quarkonia. Nuclear Physics A. 2013;910-911:98-105.After discussing results of dilepton rates and electrical conductivityobtained from continuum extrapolated results of light quark correlationfunctions in quenched QCD I will give a review on recent developments inlattice QCD studies for quarkonia in the quark gluon plasma. Recent progress inthe extraction of spectral properties from lattice QCD calculations of hadroniccorrelation functions will be discussed. Besides medium modifications of boundstates and their dissociation in the plasma I will focus on transportcoefficients, like heavy quark diffusion constants extracted from differentcorrelation functions on the lattice. Present limitations and futureperspectives for studies of quarkonia and related transport coefficients on thelattice will be discussed
Running coupling of 2-flavor QCD at zero and finite temperature
No full textKaczmarek O, Zantow F. Running coupling of 2-flavor QCD at zero and finite temperature. Eur.Phys.J. 2005;43(1-4):59-62.We present lattice studies of the running coupling in 2-flavor QCD. The coupling at zero temperature (T=0) is extracted from Wilson loops while the coupling at finite temperature () is determined from Polyakov loop correlation functions
