Critical Voices: Reinterpreting American History at the Eiteljorg Museum

The complexity of the relationship between Native Americans and Western Americans is reflected in the visual culture of both societies, and in how it is displayed within the context of museums. The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art is unique because it contains collections from both of these societies. It can be argued that displaying art from both societies in the same space only contributes to the colonial mindset because the voices of the Native Americans will be drowned out by the more dominant voices of the white settlers. I argue that the way that the Eiteljorg Museum presents their galleries and utilizes educational programming is beneficial in teaching all of the diverse perspectives of the American West. These diverse perspectives are too often excluded from history teaching requirements, which is why the Eiteljorg Museum serves as an excellent tool to teach the true stories of the American West through art and hands on learning. --Provided by the author

Ejector nozzle with massive blowing

Jet-flap, wing-blowing system for use in short takeoff and landing aircraft is described. System depends on ejector nozzle with large blowing capacity to direct ducted air against deflected flap. Operation of equipment during takeoff and cruise conditions is discussed. Diagrams of equipment are provided

Laterally stacked Schottky diodes for infrared sensor applications

Laterally stacked Schottky diodes for infrared sensor applications are fabricated utilizing porous silicon having pores. A Schottky metal contract is formed in the pores, such as by electroplating. The sensors may be integrated with silicon circuits on the same chip with a high quantum efficiency, which is ideal for IR focal plane array applications due to uniformity and reproducibility

Minimal true-implies-false and true-implies-true sets of propositions in noncontextual hidden variable theories

An essential ingredient in many examples of the conflict between quantum theory and noncontextual hidden variables (e.g., the proof of the Kochen-Specker theorem and Hardy's proof of Bell's theorem) is a set of atomic propositions about the outcomes of ideal measurements such that, when outcome noncontextuality is assumed, if proposition $A$ is true, then, due to exclusiveness and completeness, a nonexclusive proposition $B$ ($C$) must be false (true). We call such a set a {\em true-implies-false set} (TIFS) [{\em true-implies-true set} (TITS)]. Here we identify all the minimal TIFSs and TITSs in every dimension $d \ge 3$, i.e., the sets of each type having the smallest number of propositions. These sets are important because each of them leads to a proof of impossibility of noncontextual hidden variables and corresponds to a simple situation with quantum vs classical advantage. Moreover, the methods developed to identify them may be helpful to solve some open problems regarding minimal Kochen-Specker sets.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
