Five lessons of a reader at the NSW Bar
No full textPractising as a reader at the New South Wales Bar can be extremely difficult. In this article, I will explore five key lessons, which I have learnt as a reader. It is hoped that they will provide assistance and insight to other readers or to lawyers admitted recently to the Supreme Court of New South Wales, who wish to embark upon a professional calling at the bar. Further, this article will seek to provide more general insights into the professional life of a reader in Sydney
Multicolor chromosome bar codes
No full textChromosome bar codes are multicolor banding patterns produced by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with differentially labeled and pooled sub-regional DNA probes. These molecular cytogenetic tools facilitate chromosome identification and the delineation of both inter- and intra-chromosomal rearrangements. We present an overview of the various conceptual approaches which can be largely divided into two classes: Simple bar codes designed for chromosome identification and complex bar codes for high resolution aberration screening of entire karyotypes. We address the issue of color redundancy and how to overcome this limitation by complementation of bar codes with whole chromosome painting probes. Copyright (c) 2006 S. Karger AG, Base
On bar recursion of types 0 and 1
No full textFor general information on bar recursion the reader should consult the papers of Spector [8], where it was introduced, Howard [2] and Tait [11]. In this note we shall prove that the terms of Godel's theory T (in its extensional version of Spector [8]) are closed under the rule BRo•1 of bar recursion of types 0 and 1. Our method of proof is based on the notion of an infinite term introduced by Tait [9]. The main tools of the proof are (i) the normalization theorem for (notations for) infinite terms and (ii) valuation functionals. Both are elaborated in [6]; for brevity some familiarity with this paper is assumed here. Using (i) and (ii) we reduce BRo.1 to ';-recursion with'; < co. From this the result follows by work of Tait [10], who gave a reduction of 2E-recursion to ';-recursion at a higher type. At the end of the paper we discuss a perhaps more natural variant of bar recursion introduced by Kreisel in [4]. Related results are due to rKeisel (in his appendix to [8]), who obtains results which imply, using the reduction given by Howard [2] of the constant of bar recursion of type '0 to the rule of bar recursion of type (0 ~ '0) ~ '0, that T is not closed under the rule of bar recursion of a type of level ~ 2, to Diller [1], who gave a reduction of BRo.1 to ';-recursion with'; bounded by the least (V-critical number, and to Howard [3], who gave an ordinal analysis of the constant of bar recursion of type O. I am grateful to H. Barendregt, W. Howard and G. Kreisel for many useful comments and discussions. Recall that a functional F of type 0 ~ (0 ~ '0) ~ (J is said to be defined by (the rule of) bar recursion of type '0 from Yand functionals G, H of the proper types i
Coriolis effects and the thermal bar
No full textA model for the thermal bar system in the rotating frame that includes unsteady inertia is formulated. Asymptotic solutions are found to the initial value problem in the frictionless, small bottom slope limit. These solutions include inertial oscillations that are significant enough to reverse the circulation ahead of the thermal bar. These asymptotic solutions are compared with numerical solutions of the full model that includes friction. The consequences of both sets of results on the thermal bar in lakes is discussed
Assessment of Dowel Bar Research;HR-1080, August 2002
No full textThis report presents the latest technological gaps in dowel bar research based upon completed and ongoing dowel bar research from across the nation. In order to obtain this collection of information about dowel bars, a search was conducted on a nationwide level. The technological gaps and duplications of the research were then determined. In addition, this report also provides a brief annotated bibliography of all sources used to determine the gaps in technology and knowledge for dowel bar and alternative dowel bar topics as applied to highway pavements
A numerical model of the hydrodynamics of the thermal bar
No full textThe thermal bar phenomenon is modelled numerically by the natural convection of a fluid contained in a two-dimensional triangular domain. The non-rotating case considered here is appropriate to laboratory models of the thermal bar. Three sets of results are presented reflecting varying degrees of nonlinearity. The results are discussed in relation to available theoretical and experimental results
The Bar-On model of emotional-social intelligence (ESI)1
No full textThe present manuscript is an empirically based theoretical paper that presents, describes, and examines the Bar-On Model of Emotional-Social Intelligence (ESI) in deep. First, a description of the Emotional Quotient Inventory (the EQ-i), which has played an instrumental role in developing the model, is given. The EQ-i is a self-report measure of emotionally and socially intelligent behaviour. It has been translated into more than 30 languages, and data have been collected around the world. The impact of age, gender, and ethnicity on the Bar-On model is presented. A description of the model's construct and predictive validity is given. Finally, the author summarizes the key points, discusses the limitations of the model, and raises the ideas for developing a future model of ESI.El modelo de Bar-On de Inteligencia Emocional-Social. El presente manuscrito es un artículo teórico basado en evidencias empíricas que presenta, describe y examina el modelo de Bar-On de Inteligencia Emocional-Social (IES) en detalle. Comienza proporcionando una descripción del Emotional Quotient Inventory (el EQ-i), el cual ha jugado un papel instrumental en el desarrollo del modelo. El EQ-i es una medida autoinformada del comportamiento emocional y socialmente inteligente. Ha sido traducido a más de 30 lenguas, contando con datos de todo el mundo. La influencia de la edad, el género y la raza sobre el modelo de Bar-On es analizada. Además, se describe la validez de constructo y predictiva de este modelo. Finalmente, el autor resume los puntos clave del modelo, describe sus limitaciones y proporciona algunas ideas para el desarrollo de un futuro modelo de IES

Reliable Solution of Tridiagonal Systems of Linear Equations
No full textIn this paper we present new formulas for characterizing the sensitivity of tridiagonal systems that are independent of the condition number of the underlying matrix. We also introduce efficient algorithms for solving tridiagonal systems of linear equations which are stable and reliable (namely, stable in the backward sense and little sensitive to perturbations in the coefficients)
Stable solution to tridiagonal systems
No full textIn this paper we present three different pivoting strategies for solving general tridiagonal systems of linear equations. The first strategy resembles the classical method of Gaussian elimination with no pivoting and is stable provided a simple and easily checkable condition is met. In the second strategy, the growth of the elements is monitored so as to ensure backward stability in most cases. Finally, the third strategy also uses the right-hand side vector to make pivoting decisions and is proved to be unconditionally backward stable
