Study of thermometers for measuring a microcanonical phase transition in nuclear fragmentation

The aim of this work is to study how the thermodynamic temperature is related to the known thermometers for nuclei especially in view of studying the microcanonical phase transition. We find within the MMMC-model that the "S-shape" of the caloric equation of state e^*(T) which is the signal of a phase transition in a system with conserved energy, can be seen in the experimentally accessible slope temperatures T_slope for different particle types and also in the isotopic temperatures T_He-Li. The isotopic temperatures T_H-He are weaker correlated to the shape of the thermodynamic temperature and therefore are less favorable to study the signal of a microcanonical phase transition. We also show that the signal is very sensitive to variations in mass of the source

Changing Men: Integrating Freirian Education, Human Relations Training, and Anti-Oppression Education in a Men’s Transformational Learning Experience

This paper presents a model of a pedagogy for anti-sexist education for men, drawing on and integrating principles and practices from the three approaches noted in the title, and adapting Kegan’s conceptualization of the various kinds of learning (or holding) environments necessary to support developmental change

Introduction: Racism Without Racists

This Symposium on Systemic Racism offers a timely review and analysis of an urgent and persistent problem plaguing the United States. Many of the narratives we offer about the history and trajectory of law and society emphasize progress with respect to racism and the struggle for equality. We note the milestones of racial progress: the Thirteenth Amendment’s abolition of slavery in 1865; the 1868 adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment with its command of “equal protection”; the Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education declaring state-sponsored racial segregation unconstitutional; the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment, hotels, restaurants, and other places of public accommodation; the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, designed to eliminate multiple barriers to voting. Each of these legal triumphs reflected extraordinary efforts to advance equality and merits celebration

Transitional States and Psychic Change

One of my favorite scenes in literature occurs in D. H. Lawrence\u27s novel The Rainbow (1915). Tom Brangwen\u27s Polish wife Lydia is upstairs in their home giving birth. Tom is downstairs with Anna, Lydia\u27s four-year-old child by her first marriage. Anna is panic-stricken, screaming in terror for her mother, and Tom is responding to her with irritation and mounting anger. Like the child, he too is feeling shut out and abandoned by Lydia. Tom is made particularly furious by the blind and mechanical nature of Anna\u27s crying
