  • The Research about Invariants of Ordinary Differential Equations

    Description/Abstract:
    Abstract. Several basic relative invariants for homogeneous linear differential equations were discovered during the years shortly after 1878. Also, a basic relative invariant was found by Paul Appell in 1889 for a type of nonlinear differential equation. There was little progress during the years 1892--1988 as researchers who worked with homogeneous linear differential equations were unknowingly handicapped by the standard practice of introducing binomial coefficients in the writing of their equations. They thereby failed to develop adequate formulas for the coefficients of equations resulting from a change of the independent variable. Consequently, for relative invariants as the most important kind of invariant, progress was stymied. The notation was simplified in 1989, adequate transformation formulas were developed, and explicit expressions were deduced in 2002 for all of the basic relative invariants of homogeneous linear differential equations. In 2007, explicit formulas were obtained for all of the basic relative invariants of a type of ordinary differential equation involving two parameters m and n that represent positive integers. When n = 1 and m >= 3, the formulas specialize to provide all of the basic relative invariants for homogeneous linear differential equations of order m; and, when m = n = 2, they yield all three of the basic relative invariants for the equations of Paul Appell. A general method developed in 2014 combines two relative invariants of weights p and q for the same type of equation to explicitly obtain a relative invariant of weight p+q +r, for any r >= 0. With that, the principal problems about relative invariants have now been solved. This monograph provides clear perspective about the reformulation begun after 1988 and recently completed. Chapters 15 and 18 show how the major difficulties confronting earlier researchers have been overcome.

    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    In this paper, I study how general technology users perceive the dark web. In this study, I conducted research on what these users know about dark web technologies, activities, content, and how their perceptions changed after a first-hand experience on dark web marketplaces and sites. I aimed to tackle myths and misconceptions that users had about the dark web and present new data in order to educate and bring awareness to the dark web to those who may never have the opportunity or reason to come upon this information on their own. It is my hope that the findings of this paper and the experiences of the participants will foster the spread of knowledge and awareness to both the threats and benefits that the dark web contributes to society.

  • How We Got to the Same Place (Almost): the Universality of the Music Called "Jazz"

    Article thumbnail: How We Got to the Same Place (Almost): the Universality of the Music Called "Jazz"
    Type:
    Article
    Description/Abstract:
    A conversation between two friends who are not musicians and whose personal histories could hardly be more different. Through a series of conversations we explored those journeys, compared and contrasted our stories, and discussed just why this music affects us so deeply. We discussed specific musicians in terms of whether we liked, did not like, or were indifferent to their music, and why we either agreed or not. In these conversations we posed various questions to each other, hoping to discover and articulate certain essences that we might share. One thing we agreed upon up front is that we are neither musicians nor music critics. In fact, we’re not convinced that the field of music criticism is even a valid endeavor. Music description and personal reaction, however, is another matter. In our conversations we tried to describe our reactions to specific musicians and “schools” of music, without labeling the music as “good” or “lousy”. You will see that this doesn’t prevent us from disagreeing and disagreeing in spirited fashion, while always trying to focus on why our personal reaction is what it is.

  • Parallel Projections

    Article thumbnail: Parallel Projections
    Type:
    Article
    Description/Abstract:
    Parallel Projections investigates two types of postindustrial site: the architectural and the agricultural; it conflates (projections of and into) spaces as means of making visceral our intellectual comprehension of the relationships between materiality, surface, place and history. Parallel Projections is not meant for specific places but for specific kinds of spaces: defunct industrial buildings, abandoned urban edifices, and mechanized natural landscapes. The authors, living in places (Iowa and Ohio) that have both been radically altered by scalar economic shifts, adapt alien (guest) project components to their native (host) contexts. Both types of spaces, host and guest, as spaces of urban and rural abandonment, share surfaces that are compelling palimpsests. These surfaces are encrusted with nearly-obliterated histories, emptied by changes in production methods and habits of occupation and revealed by ghost texts. In opposition to the idea that these sites should be whitewashed and redrawn, the authors see them as grounds for new layers that can receive projections of phenomena from other postindustrial sites and as repositories for material evidence that deepens, rather than erases, the evidence of their pasts.

  • Strategies for Increasing Home Ownership in the City of Cincinnati

    Document thumbnail: Strategies for Increasing Home Ownership in the City of Cincinnati
    Type:
    Document
    Description/Abstract:
    Cincinnati has one of the lowest home ownership rates in the country for cities of comparable size. Several other cities with low rates of home ownership in 1970 have managed to increase their rates two to four percent over the past 25 years, but the home ownership rate in Cincinnati has been stable over that period at 38 percent. The best explanation for Cincinnati’s low home ownership rate is that the topography of the city encouraged dense development involving multiple-unit structures up until World War II. When the highway programs of the post-war period opened up the suburbs to development, the city was already built-out and could not compete for new single-unit construction that the federal government was subsidizing on a massive scale. In the last 50 years, the Hamilton County suburbs have gained 140,000 owners while the number of owners in the city has decreased by 1,000. As a result, the home ownership rate in the Cincinnati metropolitan area is greater than the national rate for areas of comparable size (63 percent versus 61 percent) while the rate in the city is far less than the national rate. The City of Cincinnati faces a number of challenges in any effort to increase its home ownership rate. Government programs in other cities typically produce dozens of units a year, not the hundreds of units that Cincinnati needs to produce. In order to achieve even a modest increase in home ownership, the city will have to alter market forces in the direction of increased supply of housing suitable for owner-occupancy and increased demand for home ownership. In order to increase its rate of home ownership to 41 percent by the year 2010, the City of Cincinnati needs to adopt a four-part strategy: Increase the Supply of Units The market cannot produce new units on its own. The city needs to assemble and prepare sites in order to reduce the additional costs associated with building in the city as opposed to the suburbs. City Hall must continue to eliminate barriers to development and provide new services to builders. Cincinnati will not be able to increase the number of middle-class owners without creating new neighborhood areas with the appropriate mix of amenities. At the lower end of the owner-market, the city needs to move aggressively to convert abandoned structures into units people will want to buy and rehabilitate. Help Renters Become Owners While converting renters to owners is an essential component of an overall strategy, the City of Cincinnati must recognize that not everyone can be an owner and target its resources appropriately. The city does not have unlimited funds to change the cost equation of owning a home and will, therefore, have to learn from other cities how to work with lending institutions to increase the flow of dollars under Community Reinvestment Act initiatives. Other cities have had some limited success with programs to convert people renting duplex and condo units into owners. The city needs to increase the availability, extent and quality of education and counseling programs. Attract New Households to the City The city has to market its neighborhoods, and in some cases, smaller areas within neighborhoods. This will require market research, training programs for Realtors, investments in street furniture, increased services, publications extolling city neighborhoods, and programs comparable to the Living in Cleveland program. The city needs to start working cooperatively with the Cincinnati Public Schools. Specific market niches in which the city can hope to compete very successfully include the empty nesters, the gay and lesbian community, first time buyers, and people interested in downtown living. Maintain the Existing Pool of Owners About 75 percent of the time a home owner in Cincinnati sells and buys another home in the Cincinnati area, the home purchased will be in the suburbs. The city must create opportunities for the home seller to move up without moving out of the city. In addition to the above strategies, which involve the central city market, the City of Cincinnati needs to actively promote strategies that will help slow the rate of suburbanization and that will create low income housing opportunities in the suburbs. If suburbanization continues at the current rate, and if the city continues to be the governmental unit with de facto responsibility for low income housing, there is every reason to wonder if there is anything that the city can do to increase its rate of home ownership.

  • American Classical?

    Description/Abstract:
    Is jazz serious art music? Is jazz in fact America’s classical music? I contend that much jazz is both. This paper is an exploration of these questions, not a history of jazz, although I will have to recount some historical facts. Rather, it is an examination of this music from two perspectives, seeking a convincing argument for my assertions.
