Meeting ID: 964 8496 9858
Passcode: 007589
Abstract:
Given the documented challenges among students with college mathematics, this narrative inquiry investigates five students' lived experiences with mathematic learning. Unlike existing studies that concentrate on student deficits in terms of their learning and performance, this study is aimed to probe students experiences related to mathematics learning with a focus on the notion of mathematical identity from an anti-deficit perspective. Grounded on sociocultural theory and identity as an analytical tool, the goal of this research is to understand complexities inherent in mathematics learning shaped by learning context and students' developed sense of self as mathematics learner. Drawing from narrative interview study and listening guide methodology, the study findings reveal the complexity and fluidity of every participant's mathematical identity and suggest important commonalities among them, with regard to how their identities impacted by factors both inside of mathematics classrooms (tests scores, experience with teachers and friends) and outside (such as master narratives about mathematics in the society).

Kaltura - Creating Online Lectures
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: Offered live via Zoom and showcases a lecture capture and personal recording solution built right into myCourses. Kaltura can record content displayed on your computer screen, audio narration, and web-cam video. After recording, your video is automatically processed and stored in your personal myCourses media space. This workshop will walk participants through the process of initiating Kaltura, recording, and embedding videos into a myCourses site.
A Zoom invitation will be sent to participants just prior to the start of the workshop.

- Description: Topic: Reliability Analysis of Storage Area Networks with Cascading Failures
ZOOM Teleconference: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/98720525649
Abstract:
During the coronavirus pandemic, telecommuting is widely required, making remote data access grow significantly. This requires highly reliable data storage solutions. Storage area networks (SANs) are one of such solutions. To guarantee that SANs can deliver the desired quality of service, reliability modeling and analysis are crucial. A challenge to analyze the reliability of SANs is to address cascading failures that occur when a single initial incident (e.g., the malfunction of one device, overload, extreme weather) triggers a cascade of unexpected failures of other devices. The existing works of considering cascading failures have been mostly centered around traditional power systems and smart grids. In this work, we model the effects of cascading failures triggered by the data overload of devices in SANs. The proportional hazards model and accelerated failure time model are used to describe the relationship between the load and failure behavior of an SAN device. A detailed case study of a mesh SAN system is performed to illustrate the proposed method for the SAN reliability analysis considering cascading failures.
Note: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to join the zoom teleconference. All interested parties are invited to join.
