This poem is an interpretive poetic transcription describing the experience of a young immigrant child. Being on “wrong side” becomes symbolic representation internal and external conflict between different ways to know. Schools are not always safe place for children whose lives have been uprooted unless teachers become advocates allies.

The goal of this article is to analyze the time asymptotic stability of one dimensional Bloch walls in ferromagnetic materials. The equation involved in modelling such materials is the Landau-Lifchitz system which is non-linear and parabolic. We demonstrate that the equilibrium states called Bloch walls are asymptotically stable modulo a rotation and a translation transverse to the wall. The li...

Abstract. We investigate the characteristics of time-delay systems in the presence of Gaussian noise. We show that the delay time embedded in the time series of time-delay system with constant delay cannot be estimated in the presence noise for appropriate values of noise intensity thereby forbidding any possibility of phase space reconstruction. We also demonstrate the existence of complete sy...

Research in DNA computing was initiated by Leonard Adleman in 1994 when he solved an instance of an NP-complete problem solely by molecules. DNA code words arose in the attempt to avoid unwanted hybridizations of DNA strands for DNA based computations. Given a set of constraints, generating a large set of DNA strands that satisfy the constraints is an important problem in DNA computing. On the ...

This is a survey about the title question, written for people who (like the author) see logic as forbidding, esoteric, and remote from their usual concerns. Beginning with a crash course on Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory, it discusses oracle independence; natural proofs; independence results of Razborov, Raz, DeMillo-Lipton, Sazanov, and others; and obstacles to proving P vs. NP independent of str...

The purpose of this paper is to give a finite description of the classes of languages (as opposed to the description of languages) by a generative device, like a P system. The definition of the generated class is inspired by the forbidding-enforcing systems. A more general definition of generating a class of languages by two devices is also given and some relationships between these two definit...
