Nina Reddy

On April 12, 2021 students in the class AMS 200 conducted an oral history interview with activist Nina Reddy. In the interview Ms. Reddy discussed her activist work and her support for the AAPI (Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders) community through the NAPAWF organization

Which Poverty Line? A Response to Reddy

Some years ago a consensus emerged in the development community on the idea of an international poverty line of around $1 a day at purchasing power parity. This became the focus of the first Millennium Development Goal (MDG), which calls for halving the 1990$1 a day poverty rate by 2015. In a recent IPC One Pager, ?Are Estimates of Poverty in Latin America Reliable??, Sanjay Reddy asserts that this poverty line is ?arbitrary? and ?unreliable.? He feels that the line is too low to reflect well the cost of not being considered poor in Latin America.(...)Some years ago a consensus emerged in the development community on the idea of an international poverty line of

Special SFSA Plenary Debate: ‘The future of transdisciplinarity: How do we relearn to be human in new ways?’

This Structured Conversation took place among Dr Mamphela Ramphele, Prof. Coleen Vogel and Prof. Daya Reddy. Dr Ramphele was invited to deliver a Plenary address at the Science Forum South Africa 2020. Her address was followed by a response from Prof. Vogel, and the discussion was moderated by Prof. Reddy

‘With Respect to sex: negotiating hijra identity in South India’

In 1996, anthropologist Gayatri Reddy conducted an intensive study of a group of hijras in the South Indian twin cities Hyderabad and Secunderabad through participant observation. Several years later, in 2005, Reddy published her experiences and analysis of the life of the hijras as an outstanding and insightful ethnographic account titled With Respect to Sex: negotiating hijra identity in South India

Mathematically Forecasting Stock Prices with Geometric Brownian Motion

Predicting the progression of an unsteady stock market appears to be an impossible task due to the volatile nature of investment portfolios. However, principles such as Geometric Brownian Motion account for random occurrences in a way that can be translated to modeling the stock market. This paper analyzes the Reddy-Clinton equation, a difference equation derived by Krishna Reddy and Vaughan Clinton, with the primary intention of modeling stock price movement over time by utilizing existing metrics. The Reddy-Clinton equation incorporates both a certain and uncertain component to generate a figure which effectively depicts the volatility of the stock market. However, this paper aims to clarify the extent of the unpredictability being accounted for by specifically adjusting ε, the variable representing stochasticity, through an adjusted bell-curve model. Additionally, the model is calculated over multiple iterations, with the resulting values collectively averaged to increase accuracy. The adapted model was applied to the following five stocks of varying sectors: AAPL, OXY, PYPL, MCD, and SPG, and resulted in a MAPE of merely 6.87% over a 6-month period. Overall, the paper proposes an altered rendition of the Reddy-Clinton equation to better account for volatility and output an accurate model of a stock’s performance over a period of time

Free Vibrations of a Reddy-Bickford Multi-Span Beam Carrying Multiple Spring-Mass Systems

The structural elements supporting motors or engines are frequently seen in technological applications. The operation of machine may introduce additional dynamic stresses on the beam. It is important, then, to know the natural frequencies of the coupled beam-mass system, in order to obtain a proper design of the structural elements. The literature regarding the free vibration analysis of Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko single-span beams carrying a number of spring-mass system and multi-span beams carrying multiple spring-mass systems are plenty, but the free vibration analysis of Reddy-Bickford multi-span beams carrying multiple spring-mass systems has not been investigated by any of the studies in open literature so far. This paper aims at determining the exact solutions for the natural frequencies and mode shapes of Reddy-Bickford beams. The model allows analyzing the influence of the shear effect and spring-mass systems on the dynamic behavior of the beams by using Reddy-Bickford Beam Theory (RBT). The effects of attached spring-mass systems on the free vibration characteristics of the 1–4 span beams are studied. The natural frequencies of Reddy-Bickford single-span and multi-span beams calculated by using the numerical assembly technique and the secant method are compared with the natural frequencies of single-span and multi-span beams calculated by using Timoshenko Beam Theory (TBT); the mode shapes are presented in graphs
