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

Title X Regulatory Changes and Their Impact on Adolescent Health.

Title X of the Public Health Act has provided access to confidential reproductive care for low-income adolescents and adults since 1970, helping to bring adolescent pregnancy rates to historic lows. Recent regulatory changes in program funding eligibility and provider counseling options may reverse this trend. This policy brief will address the history and impact of Title X funding on adolescent access to reproductive health care, explain the implications of these recent regulatory changes in Title X implementation, and encourage advocacy to protect health care provider practice and adolescent access to confidential care
