Professional Activities
Sander Lee (Philosophy) gave a presentation on Hannah Arendt at the Lessons & Legacies Conference held on the campus of Northwestern University in Chicago, Ill., October 30–November 2. This conference is sponsored by the Holocaust Educational Foundation.
Beverly J. Ferrucci (Mathematics) had her chapter, “Using a Model Approach to Enhance Algebraic Thinking in the Elementary School Mathematics Classroom,” published in Algebra and Algebraic Thinking in School Mathematics, the Seventieth Yearbook of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The chapter discusses research she recently conducted at the National Institute of Education in Singapore, and investigates a structured process whereby students in elementary school can visualize abstract mathematical relationships and their varying problem structures through pictorial representations without ever having formally studied algebra. The chapter also provides teachers with tools for assessing the depth of students’ understanding of mathematical relationships and logical reasoning.
Jerry P. Jasinski (Chemistry) has several recent publications:
“Structures of two chalcones derived from 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)ethanone,” Analytical Sciences: X-Ray Structure Analysis Online; “Crystal structure of 5-amino-1-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile,” Analytical Sciences: X-Ray Structure Analysis Online; “Crystal structure of (±)-5-benzoyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid, ketorolac,” Analytical Sciences: X-Ray Structure Analysis Online; “A second polymorph of b-arteether,” Acta Crystallographica, Section E: Structure Reports Online; “Bis{4-[(Z)-N’-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazino]-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinolinium} sulfate dihydrate,”
Acta Crystallographica, Section E: Structure Reports Online; “Redetermination of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde,” Acta Crystallographica, Section E: Structure Reports Online; “Redetermination of dihydroartemisinin at 103 (2) K,” Acta Crystallographica, Section E: Structure Reports Online; “(2E)-3-(4-Methylphenyl)-1-(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one,” Acta Crystallographica, Section E: Structure Reports Online; “Tris[2-(imidazol-2-ylmethylimino)ethyl]methylammonium}iron(II) tris(perchlorate) dihydrate,” Acta Crystallographica, Section E: Structure Reports Online.
