No full textABSTRACT Despite legislative and judicial attempts to remedy sex discrimination in the workplace, women continue to earn 60% less than their male counterparts. One factor that could influence an wmp:3yer's evaluation of an applicant is the knowledge of that applicant's salary on his or her present job. A study was conducted to determine the influence of au applicant's present salary on the evaluation of his or her qualifications and suitability for hire. Undergraduate business majors (N=80) rated four applicant resumes, each for a different job. Each subject rated two male applicants and two female applicants with either high or low present salary. Subjects evaluated applicants' qualifications and hirability, and awarded a starting salary. The results indicated that, compared to high present-salary applicants, low present-salary applicants were offered less starting salary for all jobs, and were rated as less qualified for engineer and advertising manager jobs. For the engineer job, low present-salary applicants were regarded as less likely than high salary applicants to be successful, and were less likely to be hired. These findings imply a potential for perpetuating sex discrimination and an earning differential between men and women. (Author/NB

236 PagesIn the late nineteenth-century Austro-Hungarian Empire, two Jewish astronomy professors work tirelessly to unearth new academic research for their chosen field. But their participation in adultery, deception, and murder will follow them throughout time, weaving a complicated web into future generations, and setting the stage for the age-old question, “Are the sins of the fathers visited upon the sons?”
Years later, the professors’ families having immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, the old axiom comes to a strange and chilling climax. The grandsons of the astronomers supposedly influenced by ancient Jewish mysticism are murdered—one allegedly at the hands of the other.
Detective Sergeant Marty Kowalski investigates the murders, with the assistance of an astronomy professor and two of her students from the University of Michigan. Spending considerable time and meticulous effort, Kowalski slowly unravels the complicated past behind the two victims and unearths a shattering truth that will leave both families reeling.
A fascinating blend of philosophy, history, and religion, The Noble Profession of Leaf Chasing delivers a compelling read.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/83251/1/NobleProfessionLeafChasin_Final_MS.do
"We Meet Them and Treat Them as Brethren": Nativists and Republican Appeasement
No full textCharles Sanders“We Meet Them and Treat Them as Brethren”: Nativists and Republican Appeasement
Author: Mitchell J. Widener
The American Party reached its zenith in 1856 when it elected members to local and federal positions and nominating ex-President Millard Fillmore as its presidential candidate. By 1860, this nativist party was essentially defunct. That same year marked the fusion of the Republican Party with the northern American Party members. The process by which the nativists joined the Republican Party presents historians with many problems. Recently, many historians contend the GOP absorbed the nativists without making any concessions to them at the state or federal level. However, through a close examination of northern state political record’s, this paper will argue Republicans gained northern nativist votes by making concessions to them at the state rather than the national level. Specifically, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan’s state records will be analyzed. Among other things, many states passed voter registry laws to curb the voting rights of immigrants. This becomes important if one wishes to gain a better understanding of Lincoln and the Republican’s rise to power in the late 1850s

No full textDES Collaboration: M. Dixon et al.The present state of cosmology is facing a crisis where there is a fundamental disagreement in measurements of the Hubble constant (), with significant tension between the early and late Universe methods. Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are important to measuring through the astronomical distance ladder. However, there remains potential to better standardize SN Ia light curves by using known dependencies on host galaxy properties after the standard light curve width and colour corrections have been applied to the peak SN Ia luminosities. To explore this, we use the 5-yr photometrically identified SNe Ia sample obtained by the Dark Energy Survey, along with host galaxy spectra obtained by the Australian Dark Energy Survey. Using host galaxy spectroscopy, we find a significant trend with the equivalent width (EW) of the [O ii] 3727, 29 doublet, a proxy for specific star formation rate, and Hubble residuals. We find that the correlation with [O ii] EW is a powerful alternative to the commonly used mass step after initial light-curve corrections. Applying this [O ii] EW correction to 20 SNe Ia in calibrator galaxies observed with WiFeS, we examined the impact on SN Ia absolute magnitudes and. Our [O ii] EW corrections result in values ranging between 73.04 and 73.51, with a combined statistical and systematic uncertainty of. However, even with this additional correction, the impact of host galaxy properties in standardizing SNe Ia appears limited in reducing the current tension () with the cosmic microwave background result for.We thank an anonymous referee for insightful feedback which improved the quality of the paper.
