26. "Feminist" versus "Feminism": A Closer Examination of Feminist Consciousness.

Author

McGrath, Allison R. and Bergner, Erin

Abstract

Using data collected from a Shared Identity Survey (n=594 undergraduate students), the present study investigates the discrepancy between individuals' positive perceptions of the larger feminist movement and their resistant towards adopting a feminist identity. Logistic regression was employed to measure the relationship between various socio-demographic characteristics and individuals' likelihood to identify with the major tenets of the modern feminist movement. Results reveal that race, gender and sexual orientation play a significant role in determining one's willingness to adopt a feminist identity. This study also investigates in greater detail those individuals who support feminism, but are reluctant to label themselves as being a feminist. Approximately 300 open ended responses were analyzed to shed light on this perceived disconnect. Findings suggest that these individuals harbor resistance towards the feminist label due to the belief that everyone faces discrimination, regardless of ones gender identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

27. Engendering Hate: The Role of Feminism with the White Supremacy Movement.

Author

McGrath, Allison R.

Abstract

The present study seeks to investigate the role of feminism within the white supremacy movement. More specifically, this research assesses the different subgroups within organized racism (e.g., Ku Klux Klan, Christian Identity Movement, Neo-Nazis, White Power Movement, etc.) in order to examine why hatemongers with different organizational identities exhibit varying collective action frames regarding the role of feminism. Utilizing the oldest and most established virtual hate community Stromfront.org, this study performs content analysis to examine relevant discussion board threads which highlight hatemongers' perceptions of feminism in this hyper-masculine movement. Findings suggest that white supremacists' frames of the role of feminism are dependent on their organizational affiliation within the larger movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

31. Micromachined Substrates for Molecular Follow-Up in DNA-Templated Nanofabrication.

Author

Becerril, Héctor A., Nelson, Allison R., and Woolley, Adam T.

Subjects
SILICON, DNA, MOLECULES, NANOSTRUCTURES, MOLECULAR electronics, NANOSCIENCE
Abstract

We have produced micromachined silicon substrates that provide unique spatial addressing for surface-aligned DNA molecules. Repeated characterization of the same molecule using atomic force microscopy and/or scanning electron microscopy before and after nanofabrication treatments has been achieved. Utilizing these micromachined platforms as substrates in nanofabrication experiments enables the use of complementary microscopy techniques for data collection on selected features of interest at different stages of a nanofabrication process. In this way, a clear correlation of the information generated can be achieved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

32. Uninformative priors for Bayes’ theorem.

Abstract

One of the major objections to the uses of Bayesian Methods and Maximum Entropy Methods is associated with the choice of the prior distribution, especially when there is no prior information available. LaPlace, who made excellent use of Bayesian methods to obtain significant results, originally postulated that the uninformative prior should be constant, although he later came to question the use of this prior. One of the objections to the use of a constant prior is that it is not independent of variable transformations: the thought being that if a prior is truly uninformative, then any transformation of the variable should also be uninformative. Later, Jeffreys,using heuristic arguments, postulated that a better uninformative prior is the 1/σ function. Jaynes provided a more formal derivation of the 1/σ prior for certain classes of probability functions. The 1/σ prior has the desirable feature of being independent of integer-power variable transformations, although it is not a probability distribution, and is therefore called an improper prior. Unfortunately, the 1/σ prior gives extreme weighting to low values of σ. Shannon, while working at Bell Telephone Laboratories, derived Statistical Entropy, as a measure of uncertainty in a distribution. Shannon’s work leads to a constant prior, in the uninformative case. Unfortunately, Shannon’s Entropy holds only for discrete variable distributions. In this paper, an uninformative prior in the continuous variable case is developed, which is independent of virtually any variable transformation and yet does not give preferential weight to any value of the continuous variable. A simple example is used to show how the results differ for the new prior and the 1/σ prior. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

41. A KINEMATIC METHOD FOR STRIKE PATTERN DETECTION.

Author

Altman, Allison R. and Davis, Irene S.

Subjects
FOOT, KINEMATICS, DYNAMICS, RUNNERS (Sports), RUNNING
Abstract

The article presents a study on the use of the kinematic measure of footstrike angle (FSA) as a surrogate for the strike index (SI). The researchers recruited eight healthy runners including two at forefoot strike (FFS), two at midfoot strike (MFS) and four at rearfoot strike (RFS). They used Visual 3D to process kinetic and kinematic data. They found that the FSA can act as a surrogate measure for SI when force data is unavailable.
