The new economics of teaching will test the resourcefulness of every instructor and administrator, from the smallest private college to the ivy league. There will be fewer resources and even fewer assistants and supporting staff. Oh, and you’ll be expected to teach more courses to more students. Which is why, more than ever, you need WebAssign. With WebAssign, it’s like having two of you to go around. That’s because WebAssign helps you do more, more effectively, with less. Our large enrollment course features allow a single person to easily administer multiple sections. Automated features eliminate administrative tasks such as grading, so fewer graders are needed. Departments can even sell their own text materials and eLabs online, providing new revenue streams. All of which explains why WebAssign users are 3 million strong and growing. So, what will it take to survive, even thrive, in the new economics of teaching? Three things: You. Yourself. And WebAssign. Visit www.webassign.net to sign up for your free faculty account today.

Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. GEORGE WILLIAM WHITEHEAD JR. August 2, 1918–April 12 , 2004 Elected to the NAS, 1972 Life George William Whitehead, Jr., was born in Bloomington, Ill., on August 2, 1918. Little is known about his family or early life. Whitehead received a BA from the University of Chicago in 1937, and continued at Chicago as a graduate student. The Chicago Mathematics Department was somewhat ingrown at that time, dominated by L. E. Dickson and Gilbert Bliss and exhibiting “a certain narrowness of focus: the calculus of variations, projective differential geometry, algebra and number theory were the main topics of interest.”1 It is possible that Whitehead’s interest in topology was stimulated by Saunders Mac Lane, who By Haynes R. Miller spent the 1937–38 academic year at the University of Chicago and was then in the early stages of his shift of interest from logic and algebra to topology. Of greater importance for Whitehead was the appearance of Norman Steenrod in Chicago. Steenrod had been attracted to topology by Raymond Wilder at the University of Michigan, received a PhD under Solomon Lefschetz in 1936, and remained at Princeton as an Instructor for another three years. He then served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago between 1939 and 1942 (at which point he moved to the University of Michigan).

  • Mouse Breeding Colony Management 1. Mouse Reproduction A. General Mouse Information I. the Average Mouse Lives Approximately
    Mouse Breeding Colony Management 1. Mouse Reproduction A. General Mouse Information i. The average mouse lives approximately 2.5 years; however, the reproductive life span of mice is significantly shorter at 7-8 months. ii. Most mice reach sexual maturity (males and females) at 4-7 weeks of age. Younger mice generally produce smaller litters and therefore are not typically mated until they reach 6-8 weeks, of age. Mice that have been housed alone or in same-sex pairs will usually not breed successfully if they are older than 6-8 months. iii. The mouse estrous cycle is 4-5 days in length. Mice cycle continuously throughout the year (non-seasonal breeders). Female mice are only receptive to males when they are in estrus. Mating typically occurs at night (lights off). Ovulation occurs 8-12 hours after the onset of estrous. iv. If fertilization occurs, fetuses can be palpated by day 14. v. Gestation in mice is typically 19-21 days (strain dependent). vi. Parturition in mice may last 1-3 hours and frequently occurs at night. Females will go into estrus within 24 hours of parturition and are sexually receptive during this time. vii. Litter size varies among strains, but averages 4-12 pups. Inbred mice tend to have smaller litters than outbred mice. viii. Mice are typically weaned at 21-28 days or at 10g of body weight. The Purdue Animal Care and Use Committee requires that mouse pups be weaned at 21 days unless PACUC approval is given on an approved animal use protocol. See Policy attached.

  • Behavioral Roles of Oxytocin and Vasopressin
    Chapter 3 Behavioral Roles of Oxytocin and Vasopressin Benjamin C. Nephew Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/50422 1. Introduction Arginine Vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT) are peptide hormones found in most mammals that have vital physiological and behavioral actions. The major sites of AVP production are the paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) nuclei in the hypothalamus, although AVP and its receptors are found in numerous brain nuclei and peripheral tissues. AVP’s physiological roles, which are mediated through both peripheral and central mechanisms, include regulating fluid homeostasis and blood pressure. It is also an important component of the endocrine stress response through its actions in the posterior pituitary gland, where it is a secretagogue of ACTH, stimulating the release of corticosteroid stress hormones and catecholamines from the adrenal glands. The three receptor subtypes for AVP are V1a, V1b, and V2. V2 receptors mediate the fluid regulating actions of AVP in the periphery, where the behavioral and central endocrine functions of AVP are mediated by the V1a and V1b receptors in the brain. These receptors are also involved in the central control of cardiovascular activity. Oxytocin’s major physiological roles are to facilitate uterine contractions during birth through a positive feedback mechanism during the second and third stages of labor, and to mediate milk letdown. In lactating mammalian mothers, OXT initiates milk letdown in the mammary glands, and the release of OXT is stimulated by suckling. OXT has one known receptor which has several alleles. The focus of the present chapter will be on the social behavior functions of both AVP and OXT.

  • The Perception of Melodic Consonance: an Acoustical And
    The perception of melodic consonance: an acoustical and neurophysiological explanation based on the overtone series Jared E. Anderson University of Pittsburgh Department of Mathematics Pittsburgh, PA, USA Abstract The melodic consonance of a sequence of tones is explained using the overtone series: the overtones form “flow lines” that link the tones melodically; the strength of these flow lines determines the melodic consonance. This hypothesis admits of psychoacoustical and neurophysiological interpretations that fit well with the place theory of pitch perception. The hypothesis is used to create a model for how the auditory system judges melodic consonance, which is used to algorithmically construct melodic sequences of tones. Keywords: auditory cortex, auditory system, algorithmic composition, automated com- position, consonance, dissonance, harmonics, Helmholtz, melodic consonance, melody, musical acoustics, neuroacoustics, neurophysiology, overtones, pitch perception, psy- choacoustics, tonotopy. 1. Introduction Consonance and dissonance are a basic aspect of the perception of tones, commonly de- scribed by words such as ‘pleasant/unpleasant’, ‘smooth/rough’, ‘euphonious/cacophonous’, or ‘stable/unstable’. This is just as for other aspects of the perception of tones: pitch is described by ‘high/low’; timbre by ‘brassy/reedy/percussive/etc.’; loudness by ‘loud/soft’. But consonance is a trickier concept than pitch, timbre, or loudness for three reasons: First, the single term consonance has been used to refer to different perceptions. The usual convention for distinguishing between these is to add an adjective specifying what sort arXiv:q-bio/0403031v1 [q-bio.NC] 22 Mar 2004 is being discussed. But there is not widespread agreement as to which adjectives should be used or exactly which perceptions they are supposed to refer to, because it is difficult to put complex perceptions into unambiguous language.

This recording was made in March 1977 by Evar Nering at his apartment in Scottsdale, Arizona. Tucker: I have recently received the tapes that Speed made and find that these tapes carried my history up to approximately 1938. So the plan is to continue the history. In the late '30s I was working in combinatorial topology with not a great deal of results to show. I guess I was really more interested in my teaching. I had an opportunity to teach an undergraduate course in topology, combinatorial topology that is, classification of 2-dimensional surfaces and that sort of thing.

  • After Ramanujan Left Us– a Stock-Taking Exercise S
    Ref: after-ramanujanls.tex Ver. Ref.: : 20200426a After Ramanujan left us– a stock-taking exercise S. Parthasarathy [email protected] 1 Remembering a giant This article is a sequel to my article on Ramanujan [14]. April 2020 will mark the death centenary of the legendary Indian mathe- matician – Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920). There will be celebrations of course, but one way to honour Ramanujan would be to do some introspection and stock-taking. This is a short survey of notable achievements and contributions to mathematics by Indian institutions and by Indian mathematicians (born in India) and in the last hundred years since Ramanujan left us. It would be highly unfair to compare the achievements of an individual, Ramanujan, during his short life span (32 years), with the achievements of an entire nation over a century. We should also consider the context in which Ramanujan lived, and the most unfavourable and discouraging situation in which he grew up. We will still attempt a stock-taking, to record how far we have moved after Ramanujan left us. Note : The table below should not be used to compare the relative impor- tance or significance of the contributions listed there. It is impossible to list out the entire galaxy of mathematicians for a whole century. The table below may seem incomplete and may contain some inad- vertant errors.
