The Science of Computing III Living with Cyber Lesson: More on Data Structures Pillar: Data Structures So far, you have been introduced to various elementary and high level data structures: arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, and binary trees. Specific to Python, you have used lists (similar to arrays) in your programs. In this lesson, we will discuss some powerful functions that work with lists and introduce several new data structures. Useful list functions As you have seen, Python lists are extremely useful data structures. In the first Python lesson, you were introduced to several list functions that, for example, reverse a list, sort a list, etc. In this lesson, we will cover several more powerful built-in functions that are quite useful when used with lists. The filter function returns a new list consisting of only the items within an existing list for which some user-defined function is true. The user-defined function can be anything that evaluates an input in the existing list and returns true or false. The format for the filter function is as follows: filter(function, list) The parameter function represents the name of the function that will evaluate each item in the existing list. The parameter list is, of course, the existing list of items to evaluate. Suppose, for example, that you want to find all of the multiples of three or five that are less than or equal to 30 and make a list of them. Here's one way to do this: multiples = [] for i in range(3, 31): if (i % 3 == 0 or i % 5 == 0): multiples.append(i) However, here's how it could be done with the filter function: def f(x): return (x % 3 == 0 or x % 5 == 0) multiples = filter(f, range(3, 31)) Both of these methods generate the following list: [3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 27, 30] The map function returns a new list consisting of the return values generated by a user-defined function on each item in an existing list.

    The Fewest Clues Problem of Picross 3D

    The Fewest Clues Problem of Picross 3D Kei Kimura1 Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology, 1-1 Hibarigaoka, Tempaku, Toyohashi, Aichi, Japan [email protected] Takuya Kamehashi Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology, 1-1 Hibarigaoka, Tempaku, Toyohashi, Aichi, Japan [email protected] Toshihiro Fujito2 Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology, 1-1 Hibarigaoka, Tempaku, Toyohashi, Aichi, Japan [email protected] Abstract Picross 3D is a popular single-player puzzle video game for the Nintendo DS. It is a 3D variant of Nonogram, which is a popular pencil-and-paper puzzle. While Nonogram provides a rectangular grid of squares that must be filled in to create a picture, Picross 3D presents a rectangular parallelepiped (i.e., rectangular box) made of unit cubes, some of which must be removed to construct an image in three dimensions. Each row or column has at most one integer on it, and the integer indicates how many cubes in the corresponding 1D slice remain when the image is complete. It is shown by Kusano et al. that Picross 3D is NP-complete. We in this paper show P that the fewest clues problem of Picross 3D is Σ2 -complete and that the counting version and the another solution problem of Picross 3D are #P-complete and NP-complete, respectively. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Theory of computation → Theory and algorithms for appli- cation domains Keywords and phrases Puzzle, computational complexity, fewest clues problem Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/LIPIcs.FUN.2018.25 Acknowledgements The authors are grateful to the reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions.

    Being Lord Grantham: Aristocratic Brand Heritage and the Cunard Transatlantic Crossing

    Being Lord Grantham: Aristocratic Brand Heritage and the Cunard Transatlantic Crossing 1 Highclere Castle as Downton Abbey (Photo by Gill Griffin) By Bradford Hudson During the early 1920s, the Earl of Grantham traveled from England to the United States. The British aristocrat would appear as a character witness for his American brother-in-law, who was a defendant in a trial related to the notorious Teapot Dome political scandal. Naturally he chose to travel aboard a British ship operated by the oldest and most prestigious transatlantic steamship company, the Cunard Line. Befitting his privileged status, Lord Grantham was accompanied by a valet from the extensive staff employed at his manor house, who would attend to any personal needs such as handling baggage or assistance with dressing. Aboard the great vessel, which resembled a fine hotel more than a ship, passengers were assigned to accommodations and dining facilities in one of three different classes of service. Ostensibly the level of luxury was determined solely by price, but the class system also reflected a subtle degree of social status. Guests in the upper classes dressed formally for dinner, with men wearing white or black tie and women wearing ball gowns. Those who had served in the military or diplomatic service sometimes wore their medals or other decorations. Passengers enjoyed elaborate menu items such as chateaubriand and oysters Rockefeller, served in formal style by waiters in traditional livery. The décor throughout the vessel resembled a private club in London or an English country manor house, with ubiquitous references to the British monarchy and empire.

Humans construct humanity and personhood partially via interactions with other-than-human persons, such as animals, plants, and objects. I examine ritualized interactions between humans and others-than-human in a southeastern Indigenous "natureculture," exploring the intersections of ontology, personhood, and performance practice. Pvlvcekolv, an animistic Florida-based tribal town with a ceremonial Fire that pre-dates European Contact, maintains a centuries-old ritual tradition, the busk. Sometimes known as "Green Corn Ceremonialism," many Native communities share this tradition, including ii Cherokee, Chickasaw, Seminole, Yuchi, and other Creek peoples historically and in the present day. Performing the songs, dances, and ritual actions of the busk places participants into dialogue with other-than-human persons.

    The Contested Space of STEM-Art Integration: Cultural Humility and Collaborative Interdisciplinarity

    The Contested Space of STEM-Art Integration: Cultural Humility and Collaborative Interdisciplinarity Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kerry Dixon Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Valerie Kinloch, Advisor Dr. Patricia A. Brosnan Dr. Candace Jesse Stout ii Copyrighted by Kerry Dixon 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation study is part of Project ASPIRE (Apprenticeships Supported by Partnerships for Innovation and Reform in Education) (U.S. Department of Education Award Number U336S090049), which created a new model for urban teacher education based on principles of equity, diversity, and social justice. That model was focused on preparing highly qualified teachers in hard-to-staff content areas to teach in high-need public middle and high schools. This dissertation focuses on one component of the overarching ASPIRE project: a teacher inquiry group comprised of veteran secondary science, mathematics and world language teachers charged with determining how arts- integrated teaching and learning could inform the preparation of pre-service urban teachers in their content areas. Specifically, the study explores how four of the inquiry group members—one mathematics teacher and three science teachers—engaged with and enacted arts integration in their own classrooms. While many arts supporters have advocated for the inclusion of the arts within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education policy, funding and practice, there is currently little research-based consensus on what exactly constitutes high quality STEM-Art integration. Furthermore, there is scant research-based guidance on how such integration can be systematically enacted to meet the needs of all students.
