On the Dirac field in the Palatini form of 1/R gravity

In recent papers (astro-ph/0306630, gr-qc/0312041) I have argued that the observed cosmological acceleration can be accounted for by the inclusion of a 1/R term in the gravitational action in the Palatini formalism. Subsequently, Flanagan (astro-ph/0308111, gr-qc/0403063) argued that this theory is equivalent to a scalar-tensor theory which produces corrections to the standard model that are ruled out experimentally. In this article I examine the Dirac field coupled to 1/R gravity. The Dirac action contains the connection which was taken to be the Christoffel symbol, not an independent quantity, in the papers by Flanagan. Since the metric and connection are taken to be independent in the Palatini approach it is natural to allow the connection that appears in the Dirac action to be an independent quantity. This is the approach that is taken in this paper. The resulting theory is very different and much more complicated than the one discussed in Flanagan's papers.Comment: 6 pages, LaTe

Thelma Flanagan

Thelma Flanagan was involved in child nutrition programs in the State of Florida from the 1930s until her death in 2001. She was a strong advocate in the national drive for professionalism in food services. She became the Florida School Food Service Director in 1943, served as school lunch consultant to the USDA, was President of the American School Food Service Association 1949-1950, served as Chairman of the Southern States Work Conference Committee, and was the author of numerous publications regarding school feeding programs.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/icn_ohistories/1130/thumbnail.jp

A study of empathy as lived by Edith Stein, Edward Flanagan, and Dorothy Day: a Catholic perspective

In this study, empathy was critically examined through the lens of the Catholic inspired lived empathy of Dorothy Day, Edward Flanagan, and Saint Edith Stein through personal writings and scholarship of note. Common themes have emerged expressing their outwardly focused empathy in the following ways: empathy as reflective of figurative motherhood, empathy as a valuing of the individual, empathy as an expression of moral vision of the common humanity of people, and empathy emerging as a component or force in challenging times to foster social justice. Day co-founded the Catholic Worker; Flanagan created Boys Town, and Stein was a gifted writer and speaker. All three people tenaciously and actively worked for the welfare of others. This biography of empathy synthesizes the Catholicism and Catholic inspired, action oriented empathy of Day, Flanagan, and Stein to glean some new discoveries about empathy and to decide if there is such an expression of humanness as Catholic empathy. In looking at Day, Flanagan, and Stein and how they authentically lived so others could live with dignity, we can learn more about the value of empathy and why it is so important to act when injustice occurs--rather than merely sympathizing with sorrowing people. Day, Flanagan, and Stein flow through this study; their empathy holds pride of place, and so does the teachings of Catholicism. Catholicism, writ large, may be considered as important a main character in this biography as Stein, Flanagan, and Day

Generalizing Permissive-Upgrade in Dynamic Information Flow Analysis

Preventing implicit information flows by dynamic program analysis requires coarse approximations that result in false positives, because a dynamic monitor sees only the executed trace of the program. One widely deployed method is the no-sensitive-upgrade check, which terminates a program whenever a variable's taint is upgraded (made more sensitive) due to a control dependence on tainted data. Although sound, this method is restrictive, e.g., it terminates the program even if the upgraded variable is never used subsequently. To counter this, Austin and Flanagan introduced the permissive-upgrade check, which allows a variable upgrade due to control dependence, but marks the variable "partially-leaked". The program is stopped later if it tries to use the partially-leaked variable. Permissive-upgrade handles the dead-variable assignment problem and remains sound. However, Austin and Flanagan develop permissive-upgrade only for a two-point (low-high) security lattice and indicate a generalization to pointwise products of such lattices. In this paper, we develop a non-trivial and non-obvious generalization of permissive-upgrade to arbitrary lattices. The key difficulty lies in finding a suitable notion of partial leaks that is both sound and permissive and in developing a suitable definition of memory equivalence that allows an inductive proof of soundness
