Beyond the Public-Private Nexus: A Framework for Examining School Partnership Governance in a Blended Capital Reality
Increasingly, school-based partnerships have been tied to education reform and the entrance of private capital into the PK-12 space, most prominently from a philanthropy sector that contributes nearly $60 billion annually to education causes. As a result, what may have been an at-will school-business partnership in the 1980s may today resemble an embedded multi-partner arrangement around professional development, teacher evaluation, or turnaround support. In this paper, a new framework is introduced to situate school-based collaborations in a contemporary context, notably acknowledging that schools today live in a new “blended capital” reality involving diverse sector influences, multiple sources of private and public funding, and therefore multiple measures of efficacy and accountability
A Wide-Field View of Leo II -- A Structural Analysis Using the SDSS
Using SDSS I data, we have analysed the stellar distribution of the Leo II
dwarf spheroidal galaxy (distance of 233 kpc) to search for evidence of tidal
deformation. The existing SDSS photometric catalogue contains gaps in regions
of high stellar crowding, hence we filled the area at the centre of Leo II
using the DAOPHOT algorithm applied to the SDSS images. The combined
DAOPHOT-SDSS dataset contains three-filter photometry over a 4x4 square degree
region centred on Leo II. By defining a mask in three-filter colour-magnitude
space, we removed the majority of foreground field stars. We have measured the
following Leo II structural parameters: a core radius of r_c = 2.64 +/- 0.19
arcmin (178 +/- 13 pc), a tidal radius of r_t = 9.33 +/- 0.47 arcmin (632 +/-
32 pc) and a total V-band luminosity of L_V = (7.4 +/- 2.0) times 10^5 L_sun
(M_V = -9.9 +/- 0.3). Our comprehensive analysis of the Leo II structure did
not reveal any significant signs of tidal distortion. The internal structure of
this object contains only mild isophotal twisting. A small overdensity was
discovered appoximately 4.5 tidal radii from the Leo II centre, however we
conclude it is unlikely to be material tidally stripped from Leo II based on
its stellar population, and is most likely a foreground overdensity of stars.
Our results indicate that the influence of the Galactic graviational field on
the structure of Leo II has been relatively mild. We rederived the
mass-to-light ratio of this system using existing kinematic data combined with
our improved structural measurements, and favour the scenario in which Leo II
is strongly dominated by dark matter with (M/L)_V ~ 100 in solar units.Comment: 41 pages, 15 figures, accepted for publication in the Astronomical

The Physics and Mathematics of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The essential postulates of classical thermodynamics are formulated, from
which the second law is deduced as the principle of increase of entropy in
irreversible adiabatic processes that take one equilibrium state to another.
The entropy constructed here is defined only for equilibrium states and no
attempt is made to define it otherwise. Statistical mechanics does not enter
these considerations. One of the main concepts that makes everything work is
the comparison principle (which, in essence, states that given any two states
of the same chemical composition at least one is adiabatically accessible from
the other) and we show that it can be derived from some assumptions about the
pressure and thermal equilibrium. Temperature is derived from entropy, but at
the start not even the concept of `hotness' is assumed. Our formulation offers
a certain clarity and rigor that goes beyond most textbook discussions of the
second law.Comment: 93 pages, TeX, 8 eps figures. Updated, published version. A summary

Spin dependent masses and Sim(2) symmetry
Recently, Cohen and Glashow pointed out that all known experimental tests of
relativistic kinematics are consistent with invariance of physics under the
four-parameter subgroup Sim(2) of the Lorentz group. The massive one-particle
irreducible representations of ISim(2), that is Sim(2) times spacetime
translations, are all one-dimensional, labeled by spin along a preferred axis.
Consequently particle theories based on this symmetry can accomodate lepton
number conserving masses for left-handed neutrinos without the need to
introduce sterile states. The same property of massive particle
representations, however, also leads to the possibility that particle masses
may be split within the diffferent spins of a representation of the ordinary
Poincare group. In this article we investigate the low-energy structure of
theories with spin dependent masses and comment on the bounds on such effects.Comment: 6 page
