Dynamics of Multidimensional Secession

We explore a generalized Seceder Model with variable size selection groups and higher dimensional genotypes, uncovering its well-defined mean-field limiting behavior. Mapping to a discrete, deterministic version, we pin down the upper critical size of the multiplet selection group, characterize all relevant dynamically stable fixed points, and provide a complete analytical description of its self-similar hierarchy of multiple branch solutions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, PR

Spanish Language Topics Course Curriculum Proposal

The objective of this report is to initiate the development of an introductory Spanish topics course within the construction management curriculum at Cal Poly. With each construction management student at Cal Poly that graduates, the industry is gifted another future industry expert. However, in order to be truly successful in construction,one must be excellent at communicating with, and coordinating team’s activities. There is no question that workers in the construction industry are subject to life threatening hazards on a regular basis. In order to mitigate the potential harm of these hazards, allsteps must be taken in managing these risks. Faults in communication between coworkers not only can lead to inefficiencies, but workers can also end up injured. With a large number of laborers in America being of Latin descent, the Spanish-English language-barrier is something of high importance, and should not go unrecognized.Upon completing the Spanish in Construction topics course, students will have the skills necessary to communicate with Spanish speaking workers in order to help diminish these safety hazards
