Hannah Floyd Flatworm Named by Biology Majors to Remember Exceptional Student
Winthrop University
Jan 01, 0001
Joseph Bursey and Lance Graham said they thought the offbeat tribute would help immortalize the late Hannah Floyd. The flatworm, named hannahfloydae ("Hannah Floyd's flatworm"), was discovered by Bursey and biology professor...

Exploring Totalitarian Elements of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education With Hannah Arendt
Alice Watanabe
Jan 01, 2023
From the perspective of political philosophy, this article examines the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) applications in higher education contain totalitarian elements. Drawing on the theoretical considerations of...
Did Somebody Say Augustan Totalitarianism? Duncan Kennedy’s ‘Reflections,’ Hannah Arendt’s $\textit{Origins}$, and the Continental Divide over Virgil’s $\textit{Aeneid}$
E Giusti
Feb 23, 2017
The allegedly old-fashioned debate over the pro- or anti- Augustanism of Augustan texts was superseded in 1992 by Duncan Kennedy’s ‘reflections’ over these terms of reference. Since then, the old dichotomy has appeared to be...

Perturbed Field Ionization for Improved State Selectivity
Selective field ionization (SFI) is used to determine the state or distribution of states to which a Rydberg atom is excited. By evolving a small perturbation to the ramped electric field using a genetic algorithm, the shape of...

Variance reduction for Metropolis–Hastings samplers
AbstractWe introduce a general framework that constructs estimators with reduced variance for random walk Metropolis and Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithms. The resulting estimators require...

PSK Method for Solving Mixed and Type-4 Intuitionistic Fuzzy Solid Transportation Problems
P. Kumar
Apr 01, 2019
In this article, the author categorises the solid transportation problem (STP) under uncertain environments. He formulates the mixed and fully intuitionistic fuzzy solid transportation problems (FIFSTPs) and utilizes the...
A hierarchical multilevel Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm with applications to uncertainty quantification in subsurface flow
In this paper we address the problem of the prohibitively large computational cost of existing Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for large--scale applications with high dimensional parameter spaces, e.g. in uncertainty...

Leadership Gifts Endow Scholarship Honoring Student's Legacy
Winthrop University
Jan 01, 0001
Significant leadership gifts from Hannah's mother, Fran Floyd McNaughton '79 of Chester, S.C., and Hannah's father, Bill Floyd of Chester, have pushed the scholarship beyond the $25,000 endowment threshold. The Hannah Ruth Floyd...

Performance Characteristics of Discrete-Time Queue With Variant Working Vacations
P. Laxmi, Rajesh P.
Apr 01, 2020
This article analyzes an infinite buffer discrete-time single server queueing system with variant working vacations in which customers arrive according to a geometric process. As soon as the system becomes empty, the server...
Theory of light-matter interaction in nematic liquid crystals and the second Painlevé equation
We study global minimizers of an energy functional arising as a thin sample limit in the theory of light-matter interaction in nematic liquid crystals. We show that depending on the parameters various defects are predicted by...
