"There is power that resides in outstanding culturally diverse literature-a power that has the potential to engage students in reading and teach them about the art and craft of writing."
-Ruth Culham
...We dream of a time when all students will be confident, capable readers and writers. When we teach students to read as writers using mentor texts, we awaken that dream and make it real. Imagine the power of providing students with books that show them their faces, their culture, their lives on every page. And imagine how every classroom's collection of mentor texts can grow by adding books that celebrate diversity.
In Dream Wakers: Mentor Texts That Celebrate Latino Culture, Ruth Culham focuses her love of children's literature-and her decades of work developing the traits of writing-on books that celebrate Latino life and culture. She provides a wide variety of ideas to teach writing using some of the richest and most beautiful children's books available. Dream Wakers gives you:
An annotated list of more than 120 books with do-it-today lesson ideas for teaching the traits of writing-Ideas, Organization, Voice, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, and Conventions. More than half of the books listed are bilingual or offer English and/or Spanish editions.
Eleven original, insightful essays by renowned children's authors of some of the featured books
A handy reference chart that helps teachers locate books quickly by trait, genre, language, and author/publisher information.
Ruth encourages all of us to make sure students of all backgrounds have access to high-quality, culturally diverse texts and recognize the difference those texts will make in their reading lives, as well as in their perception of themselves as a thinkers, learners, and citizens.
Algorithmic composition composing by means of formalizable methods has a century old tradition not only in occidental music history. This is the first book to provide a detailed overview of ...prominent procedures of algorithmic composition in a pragmatic way rather than by treating formalizable aspects in single works. In addition to an historic overview, each chapter presents a specific class of algorithm in a compositional context by providing a general introduction to its development and theoretical basis and describes different musical applications. Each chapter outlines the strengths, weaknesses and possible aesthetical implications resulting from the application of the treated approaches. Topics covered are: markov models, generative grammars, transition networks, chaos and self-similarity, genetic algorithms, cellular automata, neural networks and artificial intelligence are covered. The comprehensive bibliography makes this work ideal for the musician and the researcher alike.

This work aims at identifying the components of excellence (market, products / service, development) through a new contextual approach. An interdisciplinary scientific instrumentation is utilized, by ...placing, into the space of the vector theory in physics, the economical sizes that, by summing, can provide a real quantification (concrete, precise) of the excellence in business. The work proposes a new quantification modality of the excellence level through the method of vectorial composition, taken over from physics (mechanics). After the components of excellence (market, product / service, development) have been established and represented as vectors, the calculation of the resulting vector (excellence) can be done, through the classical vectorial composition, into a system of axes, determined by the excellence components.
In order to provide complex and elaborated functionalities, Microservices may cooperate with each other either by following a centralized (orchestration) or decentralized (choreography) approach. It ...seems that the decentralized nature of microservices makes the choreography approach more appropriate to achieve such cooperation, where lighter solutions based on events and message queues are used. However, orchestration through the usage of a process model makes it is easier to analyze the flow of the composition when modifications are required. In order to benefit from the goodness of these two approaches, this paper presents a hybrid solution based on the choreography of business process pieces, that are obtained from a previously defined description of the complete microservice composition. To support this solution, the EUCalipTool platform is presented.
The potential for critical technical practice in the
creation of music The practices and perception of music
creation have evolved with the cultural, social and technological
contexts of music and ...musicians. But musical authorship, in its
many technical and aesthetic modes, remains an important component
of music culture. Musicians are increasingly called on to share
their experience in writing. However, cultural imperatives to
account for composition as knowledge production and to make claims
for its uniqueness inhibit the development of discourse in both
expert and public spheres. Internet pioneer Philip Agre observed a
discourse deficit in artificial intelligence research and proposed
a critical technical practice, a single disciplinary field with
"one foot planted in the craft work of design and the other foot
planted in the reflexive work of critique. … A critical technical
practice rethinks its own premises, re-evaluates its own methods,
and reconsiders its own concepts as a routine part of its daily
work."
This volume considers the potential for critical technical
practice in the evolving situation of composition across a wide
range of current practices. In seeking to tell more honest, useful
stories of composition, it hopes to contribute to a new discourse
around the creation of music.

ABSTRACT The composition of a planet's atmosphere is determined by its formation, evolution, and present-day insolation. A planet's spectrum therefore may hold clues on its origins. We present a ..."chain" of models, linking the formation of a planet to its observable present-day spectrum. The chain links include (1) the planet's formation and migration, (2) its long-term thermodynamic evolution, (3) a variety of disk chemistry models, (4) a non-gray atmospheric model, and (5) a radiometric model to obtain simulated spectroscopic observations with James Webb Space Telescope and ARIEL. In our standard chemistry model the inner disk is depleted in refractory carbon as in the Solar System and in white dwarfs polluted by extrasolar planetesimals. Our main findings are: (1) envelope enrichment by planetesimal impacts during formation dominates the final planetary atmospheric composition of hot Jupiters. We investigate two, under this finding, prototypical formation pathways: a formation inside or outside the water iceline, called "dry" and "wet" planets, respectively. (2) Both the "dry" and "wet" planets are oxygen-rich (C/O < 1) due to the oxygen-rich nature of the solid building blocks. The "dry" planet's C/O ratio is <0.2 for standard carbon depletion, while the "wet" planet has typical C/O values between 0.1 and 0.5 depending mainly on the clathrate formation efficiency. Only non-standard disk chemistries without carbon depletion lead to carbon-rich C/O ratios >1 for the "dry" planet. (3) While we consistently find C/O ratios <1, they still vary significantly. To link a formation history to a specific C/O, a better understanding of the disk chemistry is thus needed.
In this paper, we consider a particular class of Kazhdan–Lusztig cells in the symmetric group Sn, the cells containing involutions associated with compositions λ of n. For certain families of ...compositions we are able to give an explicit description of the corresponding cells by obtaining reduced forms for all their elements. This is achieved by first finding a particular class of diagrams E(λ) which lead to a subset of the cell from which the remaining elements of the cell are easily obtained. Moreover, we show that for certain cases of related compositions λ and λ^ of n and n+1 respectively, the members of E(λ) and E(λ^) are also related in an analogous way. This allows us to associate certain cells in Sn with cells in Sn+1 in a well-defined way, which is connected to the induction and restriction of cells.
