    The open hand: arguing as an art of peace

    No full text
    Includes bibliographical references and index.Based on five years of classroom experimentation, The Open Hand presents a highly practical yet transformational philosophy of teaching argumentative writing. In his course Arguing as an Art of Peace, Barry Kroll uses the open hand to represent an alternative approach to argument, asking students to argue in a way that promotes harmony rather than divisiveness and avoiding conventional conflict-based approaches. Kroll cultivates a bodily investigation of noncombative argument, offering direct pedagogical strategies anchored in three modalities of learning.Clapping in -- Reframing and deliberative argument -- Attentive listening and conciliatory argument -- Mediating and integrative argument -- Bowing out -- Photographic illustrations of movement sequences -- Three student papers

    The NSF perspective on retractions

    No full text
    Presented at the Retractions conference: keeping the pool clean: prevention and management of misconduct related retractions held on July 20-21, 2016 at Hilton Fort Collins in Fort Collins, Colorado.Jim Kroll has been the Director of Research Integrity and Administrative Investigations for the National Science Foundation's Office of the Inspector General since April 2001. In this role, Jim is primarily responsible for leading the investigation and resolution of all allegations that, if substantiated, would result in administrative action rather than civil or criminal prosecution. These include allegations of: research misconduct under NSF proposals and awards; certain types of employee misconduct; violations of NSF regulations, policy or directives; improprieties in program management that can not be practicably resolved by management itself; and other issues that are not of a civil/criminal nature. Prior to working for the OIG, Jim served 21 years as a meteorological officer with the U.S. Air Force. Jim completed his undergraduate studies at Rutgers University where he received his B.S. in Meteorology in 1980. Jim later attended North Carolina State University where he received his M.S. in Atmospheric Sciences in 1985 and his Ph.D. in 1988.PowerPoint presentation given on Day 2: Thursday, July 21st, 2016.This conference was funded by the Office of Research Integrity, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, grant #ORIIR150014

    Title: Photon strength functions in nucleus 160 Tb from the two-step γ cascades measurements Author: Jiří Kroll Department: Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Supervisor: Mgr. Milan Krtička, Ph.D. Supervisor's e-mail address: [email protected] Abstract: Photon strength functions have been a subject of a study for more than fifty years. A number of models was proposed to describe experimental data during that time. However, the correctness of these models is still very questionable and its verification is the subject of very intensive experimental and theoretical activity at the present time. In the present work the analysis of measurements of the two-step γ cascades following the slow neutron capture on the 159 Tb nucleus is used for study of photon strength functions. Results of the experimental data analysis are compared with the outputs of the Monte Carlo simulations based on the validity of so called Extreme Statistical Model. Comparison of experimental data with outcomes of simulations thus becomes the basic tool for studying correctness of theoretical models. Keywords: Photon strength function, Energy level density, Extreme Statistical Mode

    Název práce: Fotonové silové funkce v izotopech Gd studované rezonančním záchytem neutronů Autor: RNDr. Jiří Kroll Katedra: Ústav částicové a jaderné fyziky Vedoucí disertační práce: doc. Mgr. Milan Krtička, Ph.D., Ústav částicové a jaderné fyziky Abstrakt: Studium fotonových silových funkcí probíhá již více než šedesát let. Za tuto dobu byla vytvořena celá řada teoretických modelů, které se pokoušejí objasnit experimentální výsledky. Korektnost těchto modelů je však stále velice diskutabilní a její ověření je v současné době předmětem intenzivní experimentální i teoretické činnosti. V předkládané práci studujeme fotonové silové funkce na základě analýzy spekter γ-záření doprovázejícího radiační záchyt neutronů na izolovaných neutronových rezonancních jader 152,154−158 Gd. Experimentální data byla nameřena pomocí segmentovaného kalorimetru DANCE, který je instalován v Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center v Novém Mexiku, USA. Experimentální spektra jsou následně porovnána s výstupy Monte Carlo simulace elektromagnet- ického rozpadu jader DICEBOX, založené na předpokladu platnosti tzv. Ex- trémního Statistického Modelu. Odezva detektoru na vygenerované γ-kaskády je následně vypočtena pomocí...Title: Photon strength functions in Gd isotopes studied from resonance neutron capture Author: RNDr. Jiří Kroll Department: Intitute of particle and nuclear physics Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Milan Krtička, Ph.D., Intitute of particle and nuclear physics Abstract: Photon strength functions have been studied for more than sixty years. A number of theoretical models was proposed to describe experimental data during that time. However, the correctness of these models is still very questionable and its verification is the subject of very intensive experimental and theoretical activity at present time. In this thesis the analysis of spectra of γ rays following the radiative capture of neutrons on isolated neutron resonances of 152,154−158 Gd nuclei is used to study photon strength functions. Experimental data were measured using segmented DANCE calorimeter that is installed at Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center in New Mexico, USA. Experimental spectra are then compared with the outputs of Monte Carlo simulation of nuclear elec- tromagnetic decay, performed by DICEBOX code, that is based on the validity of the so-called Extreme Statistical Model. The response of the detector system to generated γ cascades was subsequently calculated using the Geant4 code. An analysis of the data clearly indicates that magnetic...Ústav částicové a jaderné fyzikyInstitute of Particle and Nuclear PhysicsMatematicko-fyzikální fakultaFaculty of Mathematics and Physic
