What drives some American Muslims to support Republicans?
No full textWhat drives some American Muslims to support the Republican Party? Recent research and polling information suggests that a significant portion of this religious community supports a political faction that is often perceived to be anti-Muslim; this may be impacted by factors such as income and race. The author hypothesized that identity with racial groups that are often considered "white" would most impact Muslim support for the GOP. Using polling data from a nationally-representative sample of Muslim Americans, the researcher studied Muslims who supported Republicans. He operationalized the dependent variable using logit models to measure affiliation with the GOP and support for Donald Trump in 2016. The independent variables tested were: White identity, Arab identity, mosque attendance, religious identity, income, education, and gender (female). There were positive correlations between White and Arab identity and backing the GOP, and negative associations among females and support for the Republicans. Implications of these findings are discussed.Winner: First Place, 2022 Paul Robeson Library Undergraduate Research Award
L'alternance phorique ce/il dans la construction c'est/il est: étude contrastive avec l'italien
No full textL'article met au jour quelques psychomécanismes qui sous-tendent les énoncés attributifs "c'est"/"il est". L'alternance entre ces deux constructions concurrentes n'est pas facilement compréhensible pour un italophone. Les schémas psychomécaniques qui y figurent permettent d'établir une série de relations qui pourraient s'avérer productives, aussi bien dans une perspective intralinguistique que dans une perspective contrastive. Les auteures étudient d'abord "ce"/"il" exprimant respectivement la définition de la classe et l'assignation d'un statut en systématisant leur valence; ensuite elles abordent les constructions "c'est"/"il est" en tant que construction brisée et construction plane; enfin elles traitent le morphème "ce" dans sa valeur résomptive

Diagnostic Testing and Analysis of Hydraulically Fractured Dual-Porosity Formations
No full textAbstractSeveral techniques were developed to analyze the after-closure fracture data of a DFIT/MiniFrac test. The majority of these techniques assume the reservoir is homogeneous. However, this assumption is not always satisfied: a formation may be heterogeneous and naturally fractured, making the published techniques not applicable in this case.A most recent technique developed by Soliman et al. (2010) presented an analytical solution for an injection-falloff test for a naturally fractured formation. The solution was found to be effective, especially in the analysis of MiniFrac tests. However, the solution was applicable only in the absence of residual fracture conductivity.A solution for an injection-falloff test for a naturally fractured and hydraulically fractured formation has been developed. The solution was established by inference using numerical simulation. MiniFrac tests are simulated and analyzed for naturally and hydraulically fractured formations. The study includes infinitely conductive fractures, finite conductivity fractures and radial flow regime.Furthermore, the developed solution was employed successfully to analyze field data of a shale formation that is known to be naturally fractured. A naturally fractured formation that was hydraulically fractured is examined and presented.</jats:p
Spatially-localized time dependent solutions including turbulence and their interactions in 2D Kolmogorov flow
No full textIn 2D Kolmogorov flow in small aspect ratio domains, spatially-localized solutions such as kink, traveling or time-dependent kink-antikink pars coexist. However, the conservation of the flow rate in the y direction strongly restrict combination of localized solutions and their positioning. We find that by adding a homogeneous flow U y their positioning is controlled and each of localized solutions including a spatially-localized chaos is isolated. Numerical results suggest that these isolated solutions can be elements constructing a whole flow

Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow
No full textDirect numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number
