RACE IN A “POSTRACIAL” EPOCH

Pretending to Be ' ' Postracial ' ' : The Spectacularization of Race in Reality

While race is usually an implicit discourse in reality television, making it an explicit discourse seems to have little effect on challenging the prevailing representations of race in prime-time television. This research demonstrates how Survivor’s “race wars” season attempted to reinforce a “postracial” narrative that race no longer matters in contemporary U.S. society while simultaneously per...

A new physiologic race

A very extended reionization epoch ?

The recent observations of cross temperature-polarization power spectra of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) made by the WMAP satellite are in better agreement with a high value of the Thomson scattering optical depth τ ≈ 0.17. This value is close to τ = 0.3, which is taken as the upper limit in the parameter extraction analysis made by the WMAP team. However, models with τ ∼ 0.3 provide a ...

Electrogenesis in a Scalar Field Dominated Epoch

In this talk I discuss models in which a homogeneous scalar field is used to modify standard cosmology above the nucleosynthesis scale to provide an explanation for the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe.

(b). Substructure generation in the 3-D nite element mesh shown in Fig. 4 using Competitive learning. tures for domain decomposition using ANN paradigms. This study demonstrates the usefulness of neural networks for solving large optimization problems with reasonable speed, that are nontrivial, but may not be as hard as for example, the traveling salesman problem. Both techniques yield signican...
