In this paper, I seek to examine this darkness, this messiness and confusion, and to uncover how far it stretches: how much it reveals and how much it hides. I understand that this is a complex project, and I understand that I...
This article is based on a content analysis of the 17,811 Instagram posts made by all 534 members of the United States Congress who were seated for the duration of the first 6 months of the 115th session. I find that women are...
It is fair to assume that the average American knows how to use the library. They know how to maneuver inside, whether to borrow a book, access a desktop computer, sign up for a free group class, pay off a fine, or simply enjoy...
Redbone, an eminently successful 1970s Native American rock band, emerged in conversation with the cultural nationalist movements that produced what would become Native American and Indigenous studies and Chicanx studies. In...
When Hermann Broch began the work of completing and publishing his first major literary work, the trilogy Die Schlafwandler, in the early 1930s, French and English were the two languages into which he wanted his work to be...
In March of 2022, the Supreme Court addressed the “state secrets privilege,” which the government has repeatedly invoked in the post-9/11 era. This privilege is analogous to the common law attorney/client privilege, but courts...
Readers are introduced to the structure of the book, including a discussion of the topics in each chapter, as well as how the book may be integrated in an introductory physics course.
This bar graph illustrates the home region of the evacuated Spaniards. The overwhelming majority came from the Basque Country (País Vasco) and Asturias on the northern coast of Spain.
Chapter 2 serves as an introduction to the GlowScript VPython environment. The student is shown how to enter GlowScript via a browser. The student is asked to create simple programs, including ones that print, make shapes, and...
This map marks the approximate location of the principle boarding schools for Spanish children in the USSR, with the greatest number in Moscow and Leningrad. Home No. 6 was a special school designed primarily for students...
This map represents the chief locations to which Spanish boarding schools were evacuated in 1941. We can see the Soviet intention of moving the children beyond the Ural Mountains and away from the frontline action of WW II.
The Tuya-Kawdy region of northern British Columbia is well established as a place where glaciation and volcanism overlapped in space. However, no modern work has integrated observations from the region’s volcanic and glacial...
In chapter 3, the student is asked to program the motion of a ball with constant velocity, to plot the position with respect to time of the ball moving with constant velocity, and to simulate the motion of a ball undergoing a...
In chapter 4, students are introduced to the mathematics behind the Euler method, as well as the coding involved. Students are given code and then asked to modify it.

This map helps to illustrate the movement of several of the main boarding schools in 1941 before and after their evacuation that summer. If you would like to learn more about the individual boarding schools, open the .kmz or...
This map illustrates the dramatic re-location of Spanish boarding schools to Moscow and its environs as Nazi forces were repelled. Spanish Communist Party officials wanted the children concentrated in Moscow for better Party...
As higher education faces a complex and ambiguous future, it is imperative that institutions are well equipped with a cache of competent, talented and committed administrative staff members, and we need to be disciplined and...
In chapter 5, students are introduced to the kinematic equations describing an object undergoing a constant acceleration. Students are asked to write code simulating the flight of a projectile over level ground and sloping...
Data from this archival document show how widely dispersed Spanish youth were by 1944. Starting in 1941, they were evacuated and sent to work in factories in southern and central USSR. When compared the following graph, we can...
In chapter 6, students are introduced to the idea of a central force, the idea of a instantaneous acceleration (as opposed to average acceleration) and using the Euler method to determine the position and velocity of the...
In chapter 7, students are introduced to the concepts of center of mass, the impulse-momentum theorem, and conservation of energy. This is done by considering a binary star system, mass-spring system, and scattering in the...
During the war, Spanish youth had been evacuated far away from the frontlines. In 1945, they too, like the children, were relocated en masse to the Moscow region.
At age fourteen or completion of seventh grade, Soviet youth entered the workforce or higher education. This pie chart represents the trajectory of Spanish youth. Note that the vast majority entered factory production or...
In chapter 8, students consider again the motion of a comet around the Sun, but now consider torque and angular momentum. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is introduced, as well as the cross product and how to code it in...
This graph represents different life paths for Spanish youth. Although the USSR was supposed to promote gender equality, we can see some divergence, particularly in youth going to factory and trade schools. Unfortunately, the...
In chapter 9, students are introduced to the concept of Gravitational Assist, which is used to send probes to the outer planets and out of the solar system. Frames of reference are considered, as well as the energy of the probe...
This document provides a conclusion to VPython for Introductory Mechanics by Windsor A. Morgan and Lars Q. English. It includes the book’s bibliography as well as information about the authors.
The eukaryotic bZIP transcription factors are critical players in organismal response to environmental challenges. In fungi, the production of secondary metabolites (SMs) is hypothesized as one of the responses to environmental...
Cayo Cochino Pequeño (CCP) is a western Caribbean island with a surface area of only 0.64 km2 in the Cayos Cochinos Archipelago, Department of Islas de la Bahía, Honduras. It is relatively ecologically complex, with high...
Fetuses of many species, including humans, breathe during development. This fetal breathing aids in lung development, strengthens respiratory muscles, and is posited to fine-tune the neural circuitry that drives breathing....
