Sliding Under the Radar: The Illegal Slave Trade in the United States
(2020-05-15)
The Slave Importation Act of 1808 legally prohibited the transport enslaved persons from Africa but failed to prevent illegal smugglers from continuing to import slaves. Before 1808, the Atlantic Slave Trade had been a ...
Slow Coloring Cyclic Permutation Graphs
(2021-04-12)
The slow coloring game is played by two players, Lister and Painter, on a graph \(G\). In round \(i\), Lister marks a nonempty subset of \(V(G)\), which we'll call \(M\). By doing this he scores \(|M|\) points. Painter ...
Slow Speed Orthogonal Machining of Polycrystalline FCC BCC HCP Alloys at Various Levels of Hardness using Gaseous Coolants
(2018-11-16)
