Description: This article accompanies a poster presentation on the gender difference of emotional bias in sharing love. Having developed a computational model for emotional response (Emotional-Gain Model) and a model for fairness (Fairness-Equity Model) that quantified emotional bias and fairness bias, the authors will address the gender difference between the perception of love. The authors employed the experimental paradigm called "ultimatum game" to elicit emotional responses to the sharing of love and money.

Description: This paper accompanies a poster presentation on the quantification of fairness bias by a Fairness-Equity Model. The authors have developed a computational model that quantifies fairness objectively based on equity/disparity between the shares by two individuals. The Fairness-Equity Model represents the relationship between fairness perception intensity and the disparity (or equity) between two individuals graphically.

Description: This presentation discusses collection development and management issues. It describes considerations to keep in mind, suggestions and strategies, and ideas for successful digitization projects.

Description: This article discusses electronic properties of the graphene/6H-SiC(0001̅) interface. Abstract: Using calculations from first principles, we show how the structural and electronic properties of epitaxial graphene on 6H-SiC(0001̅) are determined by the geometry and the chemical functionalization of the interface region. We also demonstrate that these properties can be correctly captured only if a proper treatment of the van der Waals interactions is included in the theoretical description based on density functional theory. Our results reproduce the experimentally observed n-type doping of monolayer epitaxial graphene and prove the possibility of opening a sizable (150 meV) energy gap in the bilayer case under special growth conditions. Depending on the details of the bonding at the interface, the authors are able to interpret recent experimental observations and provide a clear insight into the mechanisms of charge transfer and interface stability.

Description: This article discusses liminality as thought and action. Turner's (1974) conception of liminal space provides an entry point to look beyond the given and to create opportunities to examine, critique, and challenge the assumptions inherent in many music programs. Building upon his theory of liminality as a place that is "ambiguous, neither here or there, betwixt and between all fixed points of classification", one might use this framework to create a place in which differing cultures, ideals, and values could meet, potentially generating relationships and community. Urban settings are often the meeting ground for dramatic cultural clashes given that music teachers often fit the typical profile of White, middle class, and female and often have few commonalities with their urban students. In this paper, the author explores the concept of liminality in the context of urban music education programs and examines its importance from the standpoint of both the music teacher and the student. Music teachers who work in urban settings often dwell in liminal situations in which their roles are ambiguous and uncertain. Students in urban school settings might exist outside of their normal musical, social and cultural structures. Thus, urban settings provide a particularly powerful place of liminality ...
