    SPRING 2015 jJui JMaaaa, JL^aXAXaa, V\u3eP , THE JOHN MUIR CENTER Reflections on John Muir— One-hundred years after his death Bill Swagerty, Co-Director, John Muir Center During 2014, many institutions honored John Muir\u27s legacy with an event associated with the centennial of his death on December 24, 1914. It was also the fiftieth anniversary of passage of the Wilderness Act by Congress in 1964 and the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Act, transferring the core of what would become Yosemite National Park from the State of California to the federal government. Pacific hosted the 60th California History Institute from March 20-22 focusing on What has been saved; what has been lost: John Muir\u27s Legacy, 1914-2014. The symposium began with a field trip to Martinez on March 20 to visit John Muir National Historic Site. Twenty-four students in the John Muir Class were joined by other Pacific students, faculty, and guests of the university. As always, rangers and interpreters opened the doors to the Strentzel-Muir-Hanna house on the hill and allowed us the privilege of seeing Muir\u27s grave- site nearby. At the gravesite, Michael Wurtz, Head of Holt-Atherton Special Collections, read a 1914 obituary from a local newspaper which included mention of those who attended Muir\u27s funeral. On March 21, another field trip by bus took students and guests to Coulterville along the route that Muir walked in 1868 on his first trip to Yosemite. Ken Pulvino, founder of the John Muir Geotourism Center, joined the bus in Modesto and explained Muir\u27s stop at Horseshoe Bend, where he made an elaborate sketch of the landscape. Educator Monty Thornberg, current Director of the Center gave a presentation at lunch in the Hotel Jeffery on the activities of the Center, which promotes tourism and environmental education along the John Muir Highway. The Jeffery dates to 1851 and was a stagecoach stop for Yo- semite-bound passengers, as well as a resting place and reprovisioning opportunity for pedestrians like Muir on his long walk to the Valley. Bill Jeffery, husband to Pacific\u27s Pamela Eibeck, explained his family\u27s likely connection with the original builders. Unfortunately, after our field trip, the hotel experienced a major fire in the middle of the night on November 14, 2014, forcing closure. By 1889, it had burned three times, so this was the fourth structure-fire, but fortunately did not consume the entire building, which is currently undergoing restoration as a National Historic Landmark. We also saw the result of the Rim Fire, started by a hunter who set an illegal campfire on August 17, 2013 in Stanislaus National Forest. Named for the Rim of the World vista point on Highway 120 as it heads into Yosemite, the fire consumed 257,314 acres making it the third largest wildlife on record in the Sierra Nevada and costing

Young is a descendant of Muir and this tribute had Muir-Hanna-Funk family members especially proud of the young men\u27s filmmaking and narration. In addition to Young, the family was represented at the symposium by Ross and Gladys Hanna, William and Claudia Hanna, Ross and Sally de Lipkau, James and Carol Hanna, Susan and Terry Flynn, David and Sharon Hanna, and Robert Hanna. Since the symposium, we are saddened by the passing of Ross Hanna, Muir\u27s last living grandchild, and a graduate of Pacific (\u2749), who died in June and whose life was celebrated on June 21 in his home town of Dixon. After the film, old familiars to Pacific returned to share updates on their research. Terry Gifford of England reflected on Muir, Ruskin, Uncle Sam, Planet Earth—Gains and Losses. Graham White of Scotland preached on The Moral Imperative of Environmental Education, using Muir as his sounding board. A keynote by returnee Andrea Wulf, a German national who lives in London, on Alexander von Humboldt\u27s influence on John Muir had all in awe of both Wulf\u27s research, as well as her command of imagery and description. The author of Founding Gardeners and Chasing Venus, Wulf\u27s The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt\u27s New World will be released later this spring. She will also return to Pacific this coming August to address the entire freshman class on August 25 with a summary of Humboldt\u27s place in modern science. Following a Scottish-theme luncheon, which did not include haggis, but did feature Dundee Cake, registrants returned to their seats to an afternoon session on John Muir\u27s Legacy. Ronald Eber, historian for the Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club and a resident of Port Orchard, Washington, led off with remarks on The Wilderness Legacy of John Muir, introduced by Harold Wood, chair of the Sierra Club\u27s John Muir Education Committee. Doug Scott of Seattle followed, presenting on The 1964 Wilderness Act and 1980 Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, both of which he had a role in passing as an environmental lobbyist. Independent scholar Stephen Holmes, author of The Young John Muir: An Environmental Biography, and a resident of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, compared Muir\u27s manuscript with the final printed version of his first major book, The Mountains of California (1894) pointing out many environmental lessons that Muir wanted to include that did not make it into print. The day ended with seven of twenty-four in the spring term John Muir Class summarizing their research topics. Megan Deino researched John Muir and the Legacy of Calaveras Big Trees State Park; Hailie Eackles, The Bear Necessities, on Muir and bears; Lucy Kramer: John Muir, Sheep, and Domestic Husbandry; Kyle Shin, Muir and Roosevelt: The Legacy of the Trip to Yosemite; Ashley Salazar: John Muir and the Wilderness of the Stickeen River; Kathryn Teague, John Muir\u27s Glacial Theories as Predecessors to Modern Understanding of the Glacial History of Yosemite Valley; and, John Wooten, John Muir and the Fight for Hetch Hetchy.

This past fall Shanna Eller, Director of Sustainability, was named Co-director of Muir Center by Dean Rena Fraden. In addition, Kendra Bruno, M.A., was hired as Sustainability Coordinator. A native of Kansas, Eller has lived in Portland most recently and holds a bachelor\u27s degrees in the History of Art and Architecture, as well as Journalism from the University of Kansas. She earned her master\u27s degree in Urban Planning at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a doctorate in Urban Studies from Portland State University, where she was Director of Community Environmental Services before joining Pacific. Bruno is a graduate of the University of the Pacific with a joint major in International Studies and Spanish. She earned a master\u27s degree in Natural Resources and Peace from the University for Peace, Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar. Both Eller and Bruno work closely with administration, faculty, staff, a cadre of students on campus, making Muir Center a lively hub for anything green on the Stockton campus. They co-taught a Pacific Seminar for freshmen in 2014 on the topic of Fair Trade. The Office of Sustainability coordinates, advances and manages sustainability efforts on all three campuses of the University. Activities of the office are described separately in this newsletter. Muir Center continues to sponsor interns and has work-study assistance from undergraduates. David Sriboonreuang, a sophomore English major Kendra Bruno who is also minoring in Religious Studies and Ethnic Studies, has worked in the Center for the past three semesters and is digitizing the slide collection. He has also completed an inventory of the library and the video collection and is one of the chef-demonstrators at the University\u27s new Kitchen Co-op. Recently he showed participants how to make macarons.

PAGE 7 Delta Narratives Project California\u27s Delta is the subject of a current project involving Pacific faculty, former faculty, and former Dean Robert Benedetti, who serves as project director. Funded by the State of California through the Delta Protection Commission, the project is based at California State University, Sacramento. The goal is to study the Delta in collaboration with the region\u27s historical societies, museums, and archives in order to promote better awareness of the area, ultimately expecting nominating by the Department of the Interior as a National Heritage Area. Former English Department faculty member Gregg Camfield, now an Associate Provost at U. C. Merced, is in charge of Literature and Art, while Philip Garone and Jennifer Helzer of California State University, Stanislaus are tackling Reclamation and Restoration and Community and Society, respectfully. The lead essay, Stitching a River Culture: Trade, Communication and Transportation, is being written by Bill Swagerty and Reuben Smith Dr. Smith is former Dean of the Graduate School at Pacific and Bill Swagerty and Reuben Smith professor emeritus of the Department of History. A native Californian, Smith grew up in the Bay area and earned his doctorate at Harvard University, specializing in the Islamic World. He knows Delta transportation history from years of working as a volunteer at the Western Railway Museum in Rio Vista, where he continues to serve as motorman and conductor on electric trains. Swagerty and Smith began the project in October and have completed a draft of their essay after trips to several historical societies and ar chives including the Western Railroad Museum archives, Center for Sacramento History, State Railroad Museum Archives, Rio Vista Museum, Sacramento River Delta Historical Society in Walnut Grove, Yolo County Archives in Woodland, and San Joaquin Historical Society in Micke Grove. Other partners in the project include the Bank of Stockton and the Haggin Museum of Stockton. Presentation of results have taken place this spring in Walnut Grove and Antioch and will be presented later this summer in Sacramento with expectations of new interest in the Delta as sites are interpreted and museums open their doors with new exhibits. .^**r ■V.\u27 U£,l \u27 —T » oi.., ■•* ... ... **§ ■ : iffijJM mu.V; \u27 .; k ■•.\u27- .\u27■. » H»\u27\u27|FkftjfeB i.uiiWK TAP i HOI st 1 \u3e- jl£X a LifililAaaia Patch BDH ■ ■ -A Clarksburg f\u27.li 4 Mues |\u3e.r\u3c| i \u27\u27*B^BI 1 giMU »\u3e»K , \u27 -■ \u27J kj, IM:W \u27 jJ&T %is««ii^fHB^ 3 Signs near Freeport Page 8 John Muir Journal Transcription Project Picking Up Steam In the wake of the 100th anniversary of John Muir\u27s death on December 24, 2014, The Record (Stockton) ran an article - front page above the fold - about the Special Collections effort to crowdsource the transcription of the John Muir journals. The story was picked up by other newspapers and a couple of television stations, and it was tweeted copiously over the next few weeks. The publicity brought in over 30 new transcribers who dove into Muir journals with the same drive that Muir sojourned in the Sierra. Nearly 100 images have been transcribed, which means that well over half the 3000 images in the journals are now keyword searchable. The transcribers are devoted Muir enthusiasts digging for new inspirational quotes, long time hikers curious about Muir\u27s wanderings on their favorite paths around the world, and grade school students who giggle when Muir discusses the naked rocks, but were awestruck when he pondered the value of scientific inquiry. The long term value to harvesting Muir\u27s words in the journals will boost the discovery of the famous naturalist\u27s ideas and thoughts in their initial observational form. The project continues.

    Anatomical constraints on lateral competition in columnar cortical architectures

    No full text
    Competition is a well-studied and powerful mechanism for information processing in neuronal networks, providing noise rejection, signal restoration, decision making and associative memory properties, with relatively simple requirements for network architecture. Models based on competitive interactions have been used to describe the shaping of functional properties in visual cortex, as well as the development of functional maps in columnar cortex. These models require competition within a cortical area to occur on a wider spatial scale than cooperation, usually implemented by lateral inhibitory connections having a longer range than local excitatory connections. However, measurements of cortical anatomy reveal that the spatial extent of inhibition is in fact more restricted than that of excitation. Relatively few models reflect this, and it is unknown whether lateral competition can occur in cortical-like networks that have a realistic spatial relationship between excitation and inhibition. Here we analyze simple models for cortical columns and perform simulations of larger models to show how the spatial scales of excitation and inhibition can interact to produce competition through disynaptic inhibition. Our findings give strong support to the direct coupling effect—that the presence of competition across the cortical surface is predicted well by the anatomy of direct excitatory and inhibitory coupling and that multisynaptic network effects are negligible. This implies that for networks with short-range inhibition and longer-range excitation, the spatial extent of competition is even narrower than the range of inhibitory connections. Our results suggest the presence of network mechanisms that focus on intra-rather than intercolumn competition in neocortex, highlighting the need for both new models and direct experimental characterizations of lateral inhibition and competition in columnar cortex

    Sovereign authority and the elaboration of law in the Bible and the ancient Near East

    Five Pentateuchal texts (Lev 24:10-23; Num 9:6-14; Num 15:32-36; Num 27:1-11; Num 36:1-12) offer unique visions of the elaboration of law in Israel's formative past. In response to individual legal cases, Yahweh enacts impersonal and general statutes reminiscent of biblical and ancient Near Eastern law collections. From the perspective of comparative law, Dylan R. Johnson proposes a new understanding of these texts as biblical rescripts: a legislative technique that enabled sovereigns to enact general laws on the basis of particular legal cases. Typological parallels drawn from cuneiform and Roman law illustrate the complex ideology informing the content and the form of these five cases. The author explores how latent conceptions of law, justice, and legislative sovereignty shaped these texts, and how the Priestly vision of law interacted with and transformed earlier legal traditions

    Understanding the Consumption of Antimicrobial Resistance–Related Content on Social Media: Twitter Analysis

    No full text
    Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing concerns in our society. Today, social media can function as an important channel to disseminate information about AMR. The way in which this information is engaged with depends on a number of factors, including the target audience and the content of the social media post. Objective: The aim of this study is to better understand how AMR-related content is consumed on the social media platform Twitter and to understand some of the drivers of engagement. This is essential to designing effective public health strategies, raising awareness about antimicrobial stewardship, and enabling academics to effectively promote their research on social media. Methods: We took advantage of unrestricted access to the metrics associated with the Twitter bot @AntibioticResis, which has over 13,900 followers. This bot posts the latest AMR research in the format of a title and a URL link to the PubMed page for an article. The tweets do not contain other attributes such as author, affiliation, or journal. Therefore, engagement with the tweets is only affected by the words used in the titles. Using negative binomial regression models, we measured the impact of pathogen names in paper titles, academic attention inferred from publication counts, and general attention estimated from Twitter on URL clicks to AMR research papers. Results: Followers of @AntibioticResis consisted primarily of health care professionals and academic researchers whose interests comprised mainly AMR, infectious diseases, microbiology, and public health. Three World Health Organization (WHO) critical priority pathogens—Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacteriaceae—were positively associated with URL clicks. Papers with shorter titles tended to have more engagements. We also described some key linguistic characteristics that should be considered when a researcher is trying to maximize engagement with their publication. Conclusions: Our finding suggests that specific pathogens gain more attention on Twitter than others and that the levels of attention do not necessarily correspond to their status on the WHO priority pathogen list. This suggests that more targeted public health strategies may be needed to raise awareness about AMR among specific pathogens. Analysis of follower data suggests that in the busy schedules of health care professionals, social media offers a fast and accessible gateway to staying abreast of the latest developments in this field

    The American singer, songwriter and author Bob Dylan (b. 1941) has been for more than half a century one of the most distinguished and influential figures in the scene of world pop culture. This articles intends analyse how the biblical text of Genesis 2.19b-20a (“the man gave names to every type of animals”) in his song Man gave to all the animals, of 1979. Therefore, the article will have this structure: (1) presentation of some aspects of Bob Dylan’s life and work; (2) an analysis of lyrics and music of the mentioned song; (3) presentation of rereadings of the song in the scene of world pop culture (Brazil included) and (4) critical remarks about the reception of the biblical text in the aforementioned song. Thus, the article intends to present a “trialogue” between literature, music, theology and the religious studies.Bob Dylan (n. 1941), cantor, compositor e escritor estadunidense há mais de meio século tem sido uma das figuras mais destacadas e influentes no cenário da cultura pop mundial. O presente artigo tem objetivo de analisar como o texto bíblico de Gênesis 2.19b-20a (“o nome que o homem desse a todos os seres viventes, esse seria o nome deles. Deu nome o homem a todos os animais domésticos, às aves dos céus e a todos os animais selváticos”) em sua canção Man gave to all the animals, de 1979. Para tanto, o artigo terá a seguinte estrutura: (1) apresentação de aspectos da vida e obra de Bob Dylan; (2) análise da letra e da música da canção; (3) apresentação da releituras da canção no cenário da cultura pop mundial (inclusive no Brasil) e (4) considerações críticas sobre a recepção do texto bíblico na mencionada canção. Desta maneira o artigo pretende apresentar um “triálogo” crítico entre literatura, música e a teologia e os estudos de religião

    Feedforward Approximations to Dynamic Recurrent Network Architectures

    No full text
    Recurrent neural network architectures can have useful computational properties, with complex temporal dynamics and input-sensitive attractor states. However, evaluation of recurrent dynamic architectures requires solving systems of differential equations, and the number of evaluations required to determine their response to a given input can vary with the input or can be indeterminate altogether in the case of oscillations or instability. In feedforward networks, by contrast, only a single pass through the network is needed to determine the response to a given input. Modern machine learning systems are designed to operate efficiently on feedforward architectures. We hypothesized that two-layer feedforward architectures with simple, deterministic dynamics could approximate the responses of single-layer recurrent network architectures. By identifying the fixed-point responses of a given recurrent network, we trained two-layer networks to directly approximate the fixed-point response to a given input. These feedforward networks then embodied useful computations, including competitive interactions, information transformations, and noise rejection. Our approach was able to find useful approximations to recurrent networks, which can then be evaluated in linear and deterministic time complexity. </jats:p

    Model-based analysis of pattern motion processing in mouse primary visual cortex

    No full text
    Neurons in sensory areas of neocortex exhibit responses tuned to specific features of the environment. In visual cortex, information about features such as edges or textures with particular orientations must be integrated to recognize a visual scene or object. Connectivity studies in rodent cortex have revealed that neurons make specific connections within sub-networks sharing common input tuning. In principle, this sub-network architecture enables local cortical circuits to integrate sensory information. However, whether feature integration indeed occurs locally in rodent primary sensory areas has not been examined directly. We studied local integration of sensory features in primary visual cortex (V1) of the mouse by presenting drifting grating and plaid stimuli, while recording the activity of neuronal populations with two-photon calcium imaging. Using a Bayesian model-based analysis framework, we classified single-cell responses as being selective for either individual grating components or for moving plaid patterns. Rather than relying on trial-averaged responses, our model-based framework takes into account single-trial responses and can easily be extended to consider any number of arbitrary predictive models. Our analysis method was able to successfully classify significantly more responses than traditional partial correlation (PC) analysis, and provides a rigorous statistical framework to rank any number of models and reject poorly performing models. We also found a large proportion of cells that respond strongly to only one stimulus class. In addition, a quarter of selectively responding neurons had more complex responses that could not be explained by any simple integration model. Our results show that a broad range of pattern integration processes already take place at the level of V1. This diversity of integration is consistent with processing of visual inputs by local sub-networks within V1 that are tuned to combinations of sensory features
