The Stage Through Slanted Eyes: An Examination of the Current State of Asian Americans in Theatre
Deep-set racial prejudices and stereotypes in American society greatly impact how Asian Americans are perceived onstage and in everyday life. The Stage Through Slanted Eyes: An Examination of the Current State of Asian Americans in Theatre delves into the history of these prejudices and looks at how a performer\u27s race can impact his or her theatrical career
Thermodynamics of Modified Cosmic Chaplygin Gas
In this paper, we examine the thermodynamic features of an exotic fluid known
as modified cosmic Chaplygin gas in the context of homogeneous isotropic
universe model. For this purpose, the behavior of physical parameters are
discussed that help to analyze nature of the universe. Using specific heat
formalism, the validity of third law of thermodynamics is checked. Furthermore,
with the help of thermodynamic entities, the thermal equation of state is also
discussed. The thermodynamic stability is explored by means of adiabatic,
specific heat and isothermal conditions from classical thermodynamics. It is
concluded that the considered fluid configuration is thermodynamically stable
and expands adiabatically for an appropriate choice of parameters.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures, to appear in AHE
How can exploratory learning with games and simulations within the curriculum be most effectively evaluated?
There have been few attempts to introduce frameworks that can help support tutors evaluate educational games and simulations that can be most effective in their particular learning context and subject area. The lack of a dedicated framework has produced a significant impediment for uptake of games and simulations particularly in formal learning contexts. This paper aims to address this shortcoming by introducing a four-dimensional framework for helping tutors to evaluate the potential of using games- and simulation- based learning in their practice, and to support more critical approaches to this form of games and simulations. The four-dimensional framework is applied to two examples from practice to test its efficacy and structure critical reflection upon practice
