Calamus 45 Full of life, sweet-blooded, compact, visible
A remarkably effective poem for the end of the cluster. Whitman talking directly to us, the reader, about the import of his poems. And with some ambition: "To one a century hence, or any number of centuries hence".
But even better, he's horny for us:
Now it is you ... seeking me,
Fancying how happy you were, if I could be with you, and become your lover
The poet is imagining us, his future readers, thinking about how we will want to be his lover. What a lusty man! Whitman is not modest.
I love it. And it's a fitting end to this series. I've greatly enjoyed reading them. Over the past 45 days I've learned better how to read Whitman, to understand his poems. And to relate to them in at least one simple way, teasing out the gayest and sexiest parts of these poems. Making them fun for myself.
I'm not quite done yet. I hope to identify my favorites of the group. I may also try my hand at reading one or two aloud.

An Introduction to Silent Paralinguistics
The ability to speak is an inherent part of human nature and fundamental to our existence as a social species. Unfortunately, this ability can be restricted in certain situations, such as for individuals who have lost their voice or in environments where speaking aloud is unsuitable. Additionally, some people may prefer not to speak audibly due to privacy concerns. For such cases, silent speech interfaces have been proposed, which focus on processing biosignals corresponding to silently produce…

Sharp lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of Steklov-type eigenvalue problems on a compact surface

Sharp lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of Steklov-type eigenvalue problems on a compact surface
Let $Ω$ be a compact surface with smooth boundary and the geodesic curvature $k_g \ge {c > 0}$ along $\partial Ω$ for some constant $c \in \mathbb{R}$. We prove that, if the Gaussian curvature satisfies $K \ge -α$ for a constant $α\ge 0$, then the first eigenvalue $σ_1$ of the Steklov-type eigenvalue problem satisfies \[ σ_1 + \fracα{σ_1} \ge c. \] Moreover, equality holds if and only if $Ω$ is a Euclidean disk of radius $\frac{1}{c}$ and $α= 0$. Furthermore, we obtain a sharp lower b…

Diagnosing electron-neutrino lepton number crossings in core-collapse supernovae: a comparison of methods
Fast neutrino flavor conversion may impact the explosion mechanism and nucleosynthesis in core-collapse supernovae. A necessary condition for fast flavor conversion is the presence of crossings in the angular distribution of the electron-neutrino lepton number (ELN crossing). Because of the computational costs, flavor-dependent angular distributions are not computed by the vast majority of state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations; instead, angular distributions are reconstructed employing ap…
