Retelling racialized violence, remaking white innocence: the politics of interlocking oppressions in transgender day of remembrance
No full textTransgender Day of Remembrance has become a significant political event among those resisting violence against gender-variant persons. Commemorated in more than 250 locations worldwide, this day honors individuals who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. However, by focusing on transphobia as the definitive cause of violence, this ritual potentially obscures the ways in which hierarchies of race, class, and sexuality constitute such acts. Taking the Transgender Day of Remembrance/Remembering Our Dead project as a case study for considering the politics of memorialization, as well as tracing the narrative history of the Fred F. C. Martinez murder case in Colorado, the author argues that deracialized accounts of violence produce seemingly innocent White witnesses who can consume these spectacles of domination without confronting their own complicity in such acts. The author suggests that remembrance practices require critical rethinking if we are to confront violence in more effective ways.

Letter from Karl I. Zimmerman and T.R. Martinez to Toshiko Chuman
No full textA letter to Toshiko Chuman (nee Nakamura) from Karl I. Zimmerman, District Director of Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in Philadelphia, and T.R. Martinez, Acting Chief, Detention, Deportation and Parole Section. The letter regards his release from INS into the custody of her attorney, Wayne M. Collins.The Chuman (Hayao "Sam" and Toshiko) Papers documents the World War II experiences of Hayao "Sam" and Toshiko Chuman, who were Kibei Nisei born in the United States but grew up and completed school in Japan, and then returned to the U.S. prior to the war. It chronicles the Chuman's incarceration from the Santa Anita Assembly Center, through Jerome, Rohwer, Tule Lake camps, and the Santa Fe and Crystal City internment camps as well as their struggle for restoring their U.S. citizenships in the 1960s. The digital collection consists of mostly textual material, including correspondence, affidavits, incarceration camp records, lease agreements, financial documents, receipts, pamphlets, and booklets

No full textHurricane Patricia (2015) made history as the strongest tropical cyclone in the western hemisphere with a peak intensity of 185 knots. Patricia set various records with the most noteworthy being its unprecedented rapid intensification of 105 knots in 24 hours. Although this dramatic intensification was not well captured by forecast models, high-resolution observations gathered by aircraft penetrating the eye of Patricia allow for a thorough investigation of the mechanisms that may have contributed to its evolution. Preliminary results suggest that Patricia’s ability to efficiently concentrate convection in a remarkably narrow annulus surrounding the eye led to its rapid intensification

CALDER: Cryogenic light detectors for background-free searches
No full textCALDER is a R&D project for the development of cryogenic light detectors with an active surface of 5x5cm2 and an energy resolution of 20 eV RMS for visible and UV photons. These devices can enhance the sensitivity of next generation large mass bolometric detectors for rare event searches, providing an active background rejection method based on particle discrimination. A CALDER detector is composed by a large area Si absorber substrate with superconducting kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) deposited on it. The substrate converts the incoming light into athermal phonons, that are then sensed by the KIDs. KID technology combine fabrication simplicity with natural attitude to frequency-domain multiplexing, making it an ideal candidate for a large scale bolometric experiments. We will give an overview of the CALDER project and show the performances obtained with prototype detectors both in terms of energy resolution and efficiency
A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
Computing the cardinality of the lattice of characteristic subspaces
No full text[EN] We obtain the cardinality of the lattice of characteristic sub-spaces of a nilpotent Jordan matrix when the underlying field is GF(2), the only field where the lattices of characteristic and hyperinvariant subspaces can be different. If the charac-teristic polynomial of the matrix splits in the field, the general case can be reduced to the nilpotent Jordan case. Results are complex and highly combinatorial, and include the design of an algorithm.The second author is partially supported by grant MTM2015-65361-P MINECO/FEDER, UE.

Mexicana scholars in the making: testimonios from the heartland
No full textThe last decade has seen an increase of research on the Latina/o educational experience spanning from Kindergarten to the undergraduate level. Scholars have also documented the experiences of Latinas in the academy in their role as faculty. However, there is still limited work on the lived experiences of Latinas in graduate school and more specifically the doctoral journey. Research on Latina/o subgroups, such as Mexican, Mexican American, Chicana, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and/or Salvadoran, is limited with the exception of interchanging labels such as Latina/Mexican American/Chicana. This research is also limited by the overrepresentation of geographical spaces such the Southwest – California and Texas in particular. In response to this gap in the literature this study focuses on first generation, low income, Latinas of Mexican descent in doctoral programs at public, Research I, Predominately White institutions (PWIs) in the Midwest.
Using life history and testimonio as method(s) through Community Cultural Wealth model and a Chicana Feminist Epistemology (CFE) len(s), this study explores the ways five Mexicanas scholars develop strategies for navigating higher education and beyond such as the doctoral journey at a public, Research I, Predominately White institution (PWI) in the Midwest, also known as the Heartland. Taking into consideration the role that family, culture, gender, class, generation and their intersectionalities play in their formation as scholars. Furthermore, explores the impact of K – 16 experiences play in preparing them to navigate the graduate school experience and how current and past experiences influence their completion of the doctoral degree.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Mariana Garcia Martinez, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-18 at 18:23.The student, Mariana Garcia Martinez, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-04-18 at 18:24.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-04-22 at 09:10.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9319 on 2016-07-07 at 13:50:02Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T20:27:42Z (GMT).

Dual language contexts in social work practice: the Gaelic in the Comhairle nan Eilean Siar region (Outer Hebrides, Scotland) and Spanish in the Southwestern United States
No full textabstract: This paper addresses the complex historical/political scenarios of Spanish-speaking people in the Southwestern USA and of Gaelic speakers in the Outer Hebrides. It examines (1) the historical background and current status of Spanish in the Southwestern USA and Gaelic in the Outer Hebrides; (2) comparative issues in relation to the use of dual languages; and (3) the challenges that communication in more than one prevalent language present to social work service providers. It is based on field research in the Southwestern USA (primarily Arizona) and the Comhairle nan Eilean Siar region (Outer Hebrides, Scotland). While these two areas might appear totally different, the commonalities created by English as the default but not always the primary language of clients in both settings make the comparisons intriguing.This is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an article published in the European Journal of Social Work.
