When Everything Looks Like a Nail: Graph Models of the Internet
The general appeal of abstracting real-world networks to simple graphs is understandable and has been partly responsible for fueling the new field of "network science". However, as the Internet application has demonstrated, such abstractions that ignore much of what engineers consider as critical come at a price. For example, they can lead to the study of graph models that have little in common with the real-world networks that motivated these models in the first place. In turn, they tend to foc
Race and Changing Household Structure
The textbook for this course discusses cross-cultural variations in household structure, as well as changes across time in household structure in the United States. The purpose of this exercise is to examine variations in household structure in the United States according to race and historical period.

City of Louisville
The ship was built in Jeffersonville, Indiana, in 1894, by the Howard Ship Yard. It had 72 staterooms and could sleep 160 passengers. The ship was large and powerful. She made a record run of 9 hours and 40 minutes from Louisville, Kentucky to Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 18, 1894. In April, 1896, she set a record of 5 hours and 58 minutes going from Cincinnati to Louisville. In January, 1918, the ship sank due to ice. It was dismantled later that spring.

10. Quantitative Aspects
Global Problems of Population Growth (MCDB 150)
Census data is often politically influenced and hence inaccurate. The birthrate in developing countries is nearly twice that in developed countries. Most humans live in less developed countries, so the world birthrate is near the higher number. The world birthrate is two and a half times the death rate; we are not close to population stabilization. Almost everywhere, the death rate has been drastically reduced; further changes will not massively a
18. Paradise XI, XII
Dante in Translation (ITAL 310)
Professor Mazzotta continues his discussion of the Heaven of the Sun (Paradise X-IV), where the earthly disputes between the Franciscan and Dominican orders give way to mutual praise. The tribute St. Thomas pays to the founder of the Franciscan order (Paradise XI) is repaid by St. Bonaventure through his homage to St. Dominic (Paradise XII). The chiasmic structure of these cantos is reinforced by the presence of Nathan and Joachim of Flora, the counterweights to
