Embracing Dissonant Voices In English Classrooms

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a pedagogy grounded in dialogical ideals has the potential to empower students to make changes in English classroom interaction. The study first scrutinized the traditional “banking” educational system in English classrooms in which students were passive learners to realize students’ silence and powerlessness in classrooms. Then, after realizing...

We develop and analyze wavelet based adaptive schemes for nonlinear variational problems. We derive estimates for convergence rates and corresponding work counts that turn out to be asymptotically optimal. Our approach is based on a new paradigm that has been put forward recently for a class of linear problems. The original problem is transformed first into an equivalent one which is well posed...

Dissonant Numbers

The Mersenne Twister is a 623-dimensionally equidistributed variant of the twisted generalized feedback shift register operating in 623 dimensions [6]. It is quite fast and produces a sequence of pseudo-random numbers with an enormous period and uniform distribution, which makes it suitable for use in simulations. However, the Mersenne twister is not suitable for cryptographic use: by analyzing...
