Jonas-Nicodemus/PINNs-based-MPC: First release
No full textWe discuss nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) for multi-body dynamics via physics-informed machine learning methods. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are a promising tool for approximating (partial) differential equations. PINNs are not suited for control tasks in their original form since they are not designed to handle variable control actions or variable initial conditions. Thus, we present the idea of enhancing PINNs by adding control actions and initial conditions as additional network inputs. This enables the controller design based on a PINN as an approximation of the underlying system dynamics. Finally we present our results using our PINN-based MPC to solve a tracking problem for a complex mechanical system, a multi-link manipulator
Naming A Place Nicodemus
Full text linkNicodemus, one of the first all-black settlements in Kansas, and the sole remaining western town founded by and for African Americans at the end of Reconstruction, has received a good deal of scholarly attention. Yet one basic matter about it remains unclear: how the town came by its unusual name. Most scholars now think that the name of the town derives from a legendary slave rather than the biblical character.
This essay challenges that consensus, contending the name Nicodemus indeed refers to the biblical character, and in doing so exemplifies the way that the dominated disguise their speech, making it cryptic and coded. The biblical reference to Nicodemus conveys, in veiled form, significant meanings for African Americans. On the surface, Nicodemus referred to a legendary slave remembered as the Civil War was drawing to its bitter end; but in its veiled and biblical deployment, the name communicates protest and defiance of the dominant culture and its dominant white Bible. By choosing a a name with multiple meanings, the founders of Nicodemus were able to resist the identity conferred upon them (as slaves). In its coded form, the name Nicodemus provided subterfuge, a sheltered site for subversive meanings. The pressing question here is just what resistant, indirect, and euphemistic meanings the biblical Nicodemus, a minor New Testament character, affords.
Examining the encoded biblical reference to Nicodemus allows for a richer, more textured understanding of the town\u27s rather curious name and illuminates the arts of resistance that likely guided these settlers\u27 decision to name their town Nicodemus. Stripping the name of its biblical resonance, as most researchers have, reduces and simplifies the complex imagery of the African American settlers in Kansas
Nicodemus-An Encounter
Full text linkThis paper offers an exegesis and interpretation of John 3:1-15, Jesus' encounter with Nicodemus, one of the gospel's most memorable characters. Central to this discussion will be the significance of the symbol of rebirth. Engaging the text using traditional approaches and aided by philosophical hermeneutics, we shall see that the Nicodemus story offers the reader a reconfiguration of reality as Nicodemus is invited to be born again by receiving Jesus

The spirit of Nicodemus
No full textThesis (M.A)-- Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Science, Dept. of History"December 2007."When it was first settled in 1877, Nicodemus, Kansas was not the only all-African American community west of the Mississippi, but it is the only one remaining today. While many rural communities founded in Kansas and the western United States in the aftermath of the Civil War perished for various reasons, Nicodemus continues to exist. This thesis examines why Nicodemus has been able to overcome adversity when other towns could not. I propose that there is an intangible characteristic found among the people of Nicodemus which stems from the determination of the ex-slaves who first settled the town that has led those who have followed to persevere in Western Kansas. In conducting the research on this project, I used the primary documents of Nicodemus residents that can be found in the Graham County Historical Society located in Hill City, Kansas, and I traveled to Topeka, Kansas to peruse the Kansas State Historical Society’s archives of nineteenth and early-twentieth century newspapers to ascertain a more public accounting of events in that community. Other sources, both primary and secondary, were easily located within Ablah Library on the campus of Wichita State University

Seeing and believing: spiritual discernment and response in john's gospel: a study of encounters with Jesus, with special reference to the story of the man born blind.
Full text linkIn this study I have set out to explore what I would see to be the central significance of the theme of "Seeing and Believing" in the Gospel of John, with special reference to the story of the healing of the man born blind in chapter 9, to consider that man's encounter with Jesus alongside other encounters recorded by John and the various responses to Jesus which we find in this Gospel, and to explore some of the issues and questions raised by any such study of the way in which individuals come to encounter Jesus and see - or not see - who he really is. After a preliminary chapter introducing the theme and glancing briefly at some encounters with Jesus recorded by John, and a second chapter considering the possible relevance to such a study of some recent critical approaches to this Gospel, especially those adopting a "historical-critical" or "literary" approach, I have looked in greater detail at two encounters with Jesus to place alongside that of the man born blind. Chapter 3 explores the encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus, focusing on the three passages in which Nicodemus is seen in this Gospel, and chapter 4 turns to Pilate’s meeting with Jesus and his response to Jesus, the prisoner brought to him. Chapter 5 brings us to the central story for this study, the narrative of John 9 in which the man born blind encounters Jesus and comes to make a response of faith. The final chapter of the study focuses again on the central theme of "coming to see who Jesus really is", and takes up again those questions which have been discussed throughout the study: the question about whether faith is a gift, and the more "Johannine" question about the validity of what might be considered "inadequate" or "partial" faith responses
