On the precision of full-spectrum fitting of simple stellar populations. IV. A systematic comparison with results from colour-magnitude diagrams
(Oxford University Press, 2022-03)
In this fourth paper of a series on the precision of ages of stellar populations obtained through the full-spectrum fitting technique, we present a first systematic analysis that compare the age, metallicity and reddening ...
Embedding and global stability in periodic 2-dimensional maps of mixed monotonicity
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
In this paper, we consider nonautonomous second order difference equations of the form xn+1 = F(n, xn, xn−1), where F is p-periodic in its first component, non-decreasing in its second component and non-increasing in its ...
The role of vigilance on a discrete-time predator-prey model
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2022)
The change of behaviors of prey in the form of vigilance significantly affects the dynamics of a predator-prey system. In this paper, we consider a discrete-time predator-prey model, where the vigilance of prey acts as a ...
Bibles and Bathrooms: Intersex Variation Awareness Among College-Aged American Christians
(Sage, 2022)
The extant literature concerning the existence and experience of the LGBTQIA+ community in the United States sometimes overshadows that of people with intersex variations (Jones, 2018). While many people with intersex ...
Tethering Natural Capital and Cultural Capital for a More Sustainable Post-COVID-19 World
(Springer, 2022)
The world faced stark challenges during the global pandemic caused by COVID-19. Large forces such as climate change, cultural ethnocentrism and racism, and increasing wealth inequality continue to ripple through communities ...
Guatemalan Teenagers’ Hopes and Dreams: A Qualitative Study of Drawings and Characteristics of Future Selves
(Hogrefe, 2022)
Utilizing adolescents' drawings in order to investigate their perceptions of self has a long history in psychology. The methodological approach is particularly useful in places, such as Guatemala, where the population may ...
Harmful, Helpful, or Both? A Commentary on Postmodernism and Critical Theories in Community Development Education
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
In this relatively informal commentary, I discuss both the potentially helpful and harmful roles that postmodernism and critical theories (e.g., critical race theory, critical sexuality theory) have in academia in general ...
Detailed Chemical Abundances of Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
(American Astronomical Society, 2022)
We derive the first detailed chemical abundances of three star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), NGC 1831 (436 ± 22 Myr), NGC 1856 (350 ± 18 Myr), and [SL63]268 (1230 ± 62 Myr) using integrated-light spectroscopic ...
