T-TExTS (Teaching Text Expansion for Teacher Scaffolding): Enhancing Text Selection in High School Literature through Knowledge Graph-Based Recommendation
The implementation of transformational pedagogy in secondary education classrooms requires a broad multiliteracy approach. Due to limited planning time and resources, high school English Literature teachers often struggle to curate diverse, thematically aligned literature text sets. This study addresses the critical need for a tool that provides scaffolds for novice educators in selecting literature texts that are diverse -- in terms of genre, theme, subtheme, and author -- yet similar in conte…

I agree that skywalks are not ideal, but I don’t know what other options there are? Arlington County DES is *hostile* to anything that inconveniences drivers. What’s the county going to do, place a crossing guard or cops there 24/7?

‘One Rosslyn’ development project wins commission’s support but new skywalk does not | ARLnow.com
A proposed 845-unit redevelopment project in Rosslyn has won the support of the Arlington Transportation Commission. The commission voted 11-0 in support of the project on a 2.3-acre site at 1901 and 1911 Fort Myer Drive, near Gateway Park. The proposal by Penzance would prove "pretty transformational," said commission member Sohail Husain, who served on

Reconstructing Heterogeneous Biomolecules via Hierarchical Gaussian Mixtures and Part Discovery
Cryo-EM is a transformational paradigm in molecular biology where computational methods are used to infer 3D molecular structure at atomic resolution from extremely noisy 2D electron microscope images. At the forefront of research is how to model the structure when the imaged particles exhibit non-rigid conformational flexibility and compositional variation where parts are sometimes missing. We introduce a novel 3D reconstruction framework with a hierarchical Gaussian mixture model, inspired in…
