The panel explored the role of “coding” in the digital arts and humanities. The panel offered insights into what markup, scripting, and procedural programming languages are most useful to arts and humanities scholarship, suggested different ways scholars and teachers in the arts and humanities can engage with coding and considered what role coding plays in the education of arts and humanities students. Panel members included Trey Conatser, Susan Delagrange, and Ken Rinaldo."Name of Talk Here" (Trey Conatster) -- "Name of Talk Here" (Susan Delagrange) -- "Name of Talk Here" (Ken Rinaldo) -- Panel Discussion: The Role of "Coding" in the Digital Arts and Humanities (Lewis Ulman, Trey Conatser, Susan Delagrange, Ken Rinaldo

    "Stirred, Not Shaken: An Assessment Remixology"

    No full text
    Curatorial note from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Delagrange et al. suggest a clear, implementable procedure for navigating the complex process of [assessment](/keyword/assessment) for remix assignments. In the tab “Evolving Rubric,” Delagrange outlines a set of steps for instructors and students to collaboratively create a grading rubric. In addition, she provides examples of student work that can help sharpen students’ analysis of the criteria included in the assessment. Part of the larger 2013 collection Digital Writing Assessment and Evaluation, “Stirred, Not Shaken” also contributes a set of sample assignments and evaluation processes for remix projects in writing courses and describes additional expository and reflective writing assignments that expand students’ concepts of remix practices and circulation. In addition to these assignments, authors put forward a narrative describing the implementation of fair use and an assessment of the role of remix in larger institutional learning outcomes

    How fresh is maple syrup? Sugar maple trees mobilize carbon stored several years previously during early springtime sap-ascent

    While trees store substantial amounts of nonstructural carbon (NSC) for later use, storage regulation and mobilization of stored NSC in long-lived organisms like trees are still not well understood. At two different sites with sugar maple (Acer saccharum), we investigated ascending sap (sugar concentration, d13C, D14C) as the mobilized component of stored stem NSC during early springtime. Using the bomb-spike radiocarbon approach we were able to estimate the average time elapsed since the mobilized carbon (C) was originally fixed from the atmosphere and to infer the turnover time of stem storage. Sites differed in concentration dynamics and overall d13C, indicating different growing conditions. The absence of temporal trends for d13C and D14C indicated sugar mobilization from a well-mixed pool with average D14C consistent with a mean turnover time (TT) of three to five years for this pool, with only minor differences between the sites. Sugar maple trees hence appear well buffered against single or even several years of negative plant C balance from environmental stress such as drought or repeated defoliation by insects. Manipulative investigations (e.g. starvation via girdling) combined with D14Cmeasurements of this mobilized storage pool will provide further newinsights into tree storage regulation and functioning

    Technologies of wonder : rhetorical practice in a digital world

    No full text
    Technologies of Wonder: Rhetorical Practice in a Digital World considers the theoretical and pedagogical implications of designing academic scholarship in interactive digital media, and proposes renewed emphasis on embodied visual rhetoric and on the canon of arrangement as an active visual practice. This project uses the concept of the Wunderkammer to argue for techné and wonder as guiding principles for a revitalized visual canon of arrangement and as new models of invention and intervention in multimodal scholarly production. Technologies of Wonder also presents examples of how this rhetoric of inquiry can be applied to multimodal projects in the classroom. New digital technologies offer viable alternatives to linear, less embodied traditions of academic scholarship. Emerging at a time when academic presses are under considerable economic pressure, Technologies of Wonder also serves as a model for how rigorous intellectual projects can be published and disseminated in less costly, more accessible formats

    Brief Psychotherapy for Management of Primary Headaches: a Clinical Grounded Approach

    This research explores the potentialities of psychotherapy for the management of chronic pain. The model used is brief therapy of systemic orientation and the chronic pain managed is primary headaches (namely, migraines and tension-type headaches). In order to produce clinically relevant material, this research is carried out within an alternative research paradigm. The raw data are the audio-recordings of two cases: one with a man suffering from migraines; the other with a woman suffering from chronic tension-type headaches (aggravated by migraine episodes). These were selected from a pool of cases because they illustrate the phenomena under study and both completed a follow-up which confirmed an acceptable headache management outcome. The recordings were transcribed in order to be studied using discourse analysis of social constructionist orientation (DA hereafter). The research questions explored are: How were the headache problems, the therapeutic aims and the resources for managing them constructed during therapy? What did the participants do with these constructions? How was this particular type of talk interaction helpful in changing the way these two people managed their primary headaches? DA reveals that: (1) the headache problems are entangled in many vicious cycles, Catch-22 situations and even double-binds, and that these patterns have the tendency to perpetuate the problems; (2) the meaning of the headaches vary from one patient to the other, being greatly influenced by their personal experiences, family histories and interaction with health professionals; (3) these meanings influence the co-construction of the therapeutic aims, with management (rather than a cure) emerging as a more achievable goal, with additional auxiliary aims also becoming very important; (4) specific interventions for managing the headaches and for achieving the auxiliary aims lead to concrete changes; (5) these changes are sometimes generalized for other situations, and therapy is seen as a useful resource. Thus, this study shows some of the potentialities of brief therapy of systemic orientation to manage primary headaches, producing concrete suggestions that can be applied in clinical work

    Measurement of the inclusive differential jet cross section in pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 2.76 TeV

    17 pages, 4 figures, author list from page 12; submitted to Physics Letters B ; see paper for full list of authorsThe ALICE collaboration at the CERN Large Hadron Collider reports the first measurement of the inclusive differential jet cross section at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 2.76 TeV, with integrated luminosity of 13.6 nb^-1. Jets are measured over the transverse momentum range 20 to 125 GeV/c and are corrected to the particle level. Calculations based on Next-to-Leading Order perturbative QCD are in good agreement with the measurements. The ratio of inclusive jet cross sections for jet radii R = 0.2 and R = 0.4 is reported, and is also well reproduced by a Next-to-Leading Order perturbative QCD calculation when hadronization effects are included
