Robert Gawboy Interview, 1975

Robert Gawboy is a 75 year old Native American medicine man and philosopher from the Lake Vermillion Indian Reservation, Tower, Minnesota, of the Lake Kabetogama Band of Bois Forte Band of Lake Superior Chippewas. In this interview, Robert Gawboy tells what it is to be a Native American medicine man, and how one becomes a medicine man. He discusses remedies used and some of the spells cast. He also discusses Native American legend and tradition.https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/nativeamericanheritage/1000/thumbnail.jp

Active Space Requirements for State Specific MRPT and MRAQCC Methods

Author Institution: Departments of Chemistry and The Laser Spectroscopy Facility, The Ohio Stale UniversityThe recent formulation of Stale Specific Multireference Perturbation Theory and the Multireference Averaged Quadratic Coupled Cluster methods allows for treatment of dynamic and non-dynamic electron correlation which is approximately size consistent. The focus of the present work is to explore the active space requirements for MRACPF, MRAQCC, MRCISD, and MRPT methods. Spectroscopic constants, excitation energies, and electron affinities have been computed with a wide range of active spaces for the chromophore involving the $C_{2} X \ {^{1}}\Sigma_{g}^{+} , C_{2} a \ {^{3}}\Pi_{u}, C_{2} -X \ {^{2}}\Sigma_{g}^{+},\ C_{2} - A \ {^{2}}\Pi_{u},$ and the $C_{2}^{-} B \ {^{2}} \Sigma_{u}^{+}$ states

A Systematic Investigation of the Active Space Requirements for the Computation of Accurate Spectroscopic Constants for State Specific Multireference Perturbation Theory

$^{1}$ I. Shavitt, E. A. Stahlberg, International Sanibel Symposium on Atomic, Molecular, and Condensed Matter Theory, St. Augustine, Florida, March 1992.Author Institution: Department of Chemistry and The Laser Spectroscopy Facility, The Ohio State UniversityThe recent formulation and implementation of State Specific Multireference Perturbation $Theory^{1}$ allows for the treatment of dynamic and non-dynamic electron correlation for systems which are too large to be treated by other Multireference methods. It also allows for the treatment of dynamic and non-dynamic electron correlation of states which are inaccessible to single reference methodologies, such as low spin singlets and doublets. This talk will focus on the active space requirements for the accurate computation of $\omega_{e}, \omega_{e}x_{e}$ and $\omega_{e}y_{e}$ for the low spin doublet states of some simple diatomics. The active space requirements for MRACPF, MRCISD, and MRPT methodologies will be compared

An ab initio Study of the X~(2A1\tilde{X}(^{2}A_{1}) and A~(2E\tilde{A}(^{2}E) States of MgCH3MgCH_{3} and ZnCH3ZnCH_{3}

Miller, $47^{th}$ Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, The Ohio State University, June 15--19, 1992.Author Institution: Department of Chemistry and The Laser Spectroscopy Facility, The Ohio State UniversityThe ground and first excited states of the recently observed $ZnCH_{3}{^{1}}$ radical and the not yet observed $MgCH_{3}$ radical were studied. The geometries of the ground and first excited state were optimized at the SCF, CISD, corrected CISD, and the ACPF, levels of theory, under $C_{3{v}}$ symmetry constraints. The vertical excitation energies were computed for single and multi-reference ACPF, CISD, corrected CISD, and SCF wave functions, using a dzp basis set, and a up basis set. The results from the $ZnCH_{3}$ study were used as an aid in the assignment of the rotationally resolved electronic spectrum of this $species^{2}$. The implications of these results for the obtainment of the electronic spectra of $MgCH_{3}$ and its cation will be discussed

The A~↔X~\tilde{A} \leftrightarrow \tilde{X} Transitions of MgC5H5MgC_{5}H_{5} and ZnC5H5ZnC_{5}H_{5}, Are They Charge Transfer or ns ↔\leftrightarrow np Excitations?

1. E. J. Robles, A.M. Ellis, and T.A. Miller, J. Chem. Phys., (accepted). 2. E. J. Robles, A.M. Ellis, and T.A. Miller, J. Chem. Phys., (accepted).Author Institution: Department of Chemistry and The Laser Spectroscopy Facility, The Ohio State UniversityThe ground and first excited states of the recently $observed ^{1,2}$ $MgC_{5}H_{5}$ and $ZnC_{5}H_{5}$ were studied at the MCSCF level of theory utilizing the dzp basis set obtained from the study of $MgCH_{3}$ and $ZnCH_{3}$. The $\bar{A} \leftrightarrow \tilde{X}$ transition was found to involve a charge transfer excitation from a cyclopentadiencyl anion ligand to a non-bonding M sp hybrid orbital, (M = Mg, Zn). The fact that the ZnCp $\bar{A} \leftrightarrow \tilde{X}$ transition is within $522 cm^{-1}$ of the ZnH A $(^{2}\Pi) \leftrightarrow X (^{2}\Sigma^{+})$ transition and within $1,211 cm^{-1}$ of the $ZnCH_{3}$ $\tilde{A}(^{2}E) \leftrightarrow \tilde{X}(^{2}A_{1}$) metal centered Zn(4s) $\leftrightarrow$ Zn(4p) transitions is coincidental. The ground states of these complexes are primarily ionic and of $^{2}A_{1}$ symmetry. The first excited states are primarily covalent and of $^{2}E_{1}$ symmetry

Celestial calendar-paintings and culture-based digital storytelling: cross-cultural, interdisciplinary, STEM/STEAM resources for authentic astronomy education engagement

In D(L)akota star knowledge, the Sun is known as Wi and the Moon is Han-Wi. They have an important relationship, husband and wife. The pattern of their ever-changing relationship is mirrored in the motions of Sun and Moon as seen from our backyards, also called the lunar phases. The framework of the cultural teaching is storytelling and relationships. Cultural perspectives in astronomy such as this remind us of how indigenous ways of knowing are rooted in inclusion, engagement, and relevancy. Designed by A. Lee in 2007, the Native Skywatchers initiative seeks to remember and revitalize indigenous star and earth knowledge, promoting the native voice as the lead voice. The overarching goal of Native Skywatchers is to communicate the knowledge that indigenous people traditionally practiced a sustainable way of living and sustainable engineering through a living and participatory relationship with the above and below, sky and earth. In 2012 two indigenous star maps were created: the Ojibwe Giizhig Anung Masinaaigan-Ojibwe Sky Star Map (A. Lee, W. Wilson, C. Gawboy), and the D(L)akota star map, Makoce Wicanhpi Wowapi (A. Lee, J. Rock). In 2016, a collaboration with W. Buck of the Manitoba First Nations Resource Centre (MFNRC), produced a third star map: Ininew Achakos Masinikan- Cree Star Map Book. We aim to improve current inequities in education for native young people especially through STEM engagement, to inspire increased cultural pride, and promote community wellness. Presented here will be recently created resources such as: astronomical calendar-paintings and short videos that exist at the intersection of art-science-culture. As we look for sustainable ways to widen participation in STEM, particularly in astronomy education, part of the conversation needs to consider the place for art and culture in STEM
