Oral history interview with John Cullinane
No full textTranscript, 43 pp.Software products industry pioneer John Cullinane begins by discussing his education and his first jobs in computer operations and programming at Arthur D. Little, C-E-I-R, and Philip Hankins & Company. He relates how these experiences led him to form a software products firm, Cullinane Corporation, and raise venture capital. He discusses the firm's development and marketing of a number of new software products, including Culprit, Library Update System, EDP Auditor, and IDMS, and IDMSDC, and relates how the Cullinane Corporation transitioned from selling individual report generator programs to suites of data processing systems that included database software and other applications. Much of the interview focuses on the firm's evolving management strategy that led to its long-term financial success. Cullinane also discusses some problems occurred after he left the active management of the company, the sale of Cullinet (the firm's new name) to Computer Associates, and his subsequent business and philanthropic activities.Cullinane, John J..

Theodore Roosevelt in the eyes of the Allies
No full textAs Woodrow Wilson traveled across the Atlantic to negotiate the peace after World War I, Theodore Roosevelt died in Long Island. His passing launched a wave of commemoration in the United States that did not go unrivaled in Europe. Favorable tributes inundated the European press and coursed through the rhetoric of political speeches. This article examines the sentiment of Allied nations toward Roosevelt and argues that his posthumous image came to symbolize American intervention in the war and, subsequently, the reservations with the Treaty of Versailles, both endearing positions to the Allies that fueled tributes. Historians have long depicted Woodrow Wilson's arrival in Europe as the most celebrated reception of an American visitor, but Roosevelt's death and memory shared equal pomp in 1919 and endured long after Wilson departed. Observing this epochal moment in world history from the unique perspective of Roosevelt's passing extends the already intricate view of transnational relations
Liberty and American anti-imperialism 1898-1909
No full text1898 was a landmark year for the United States on the global stage, one in which it made unprecedented acquisitions of overseas territories and dramatically expanded its geopolitical influence. These developments did not go unopposed, however. As author Michael Patrick Cullinane shows, hundreds of thousands of Americans rejected as imperialist their nation's foreign policy. In doing so, these dissenters established the first national anti-imperialist movement. This book offers a fresh look at anti-imperial protest, demonstrating that the American movement was not a complete failure, and indeed prefigured latter-day protest movements

Technical Efficiency Of Arabian And East African Container Terminals.
No full textIn this paper the efficiency and performance is evaluated the terminal container for 22 seaports in the region of East Africa and the Middle East. The aim of our study is to compare container terminals situated on the maritime trade road between the East and the West. These are considered as middle-distance ports at which goods from Europe and Far East/Australia can be exchanged and transshipped to all countries in the Middle East and East Africa

Gray vs. White Matter Segmentation of the Conus Medullaris: Reliability and Variability in Healthy Volunteers
No full textBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived spinal cord (SC) gray and white matter (GM/WM) volume are useful indirect measures of atrophy and neurodegeneration over time, typically obtained in the upper SC. Neuropathological evidence suggests that in certain neurological conditions, early degeneration may occur as low as the sacral SC. In this study, the feasibility of GM/WM segmentation of the conus medullaris (CM) was assessed in vivo. METHODS: Twenty-three healthy volunteers (11 female, mean age 47 years) underwent high-resolution 3T MRI of the CM using a 3-dimensional fast field echo sequence. Reproducibility of the volume measurements was assessed in 5 subjects (2 female, 25-37 years) by one rater who repeated the analysis 3 times and also with 2 additional raters working independently in order to calculate the intra- and interrater coefficient of variation (COV), respectively. Furthermore, the influence of age, gender, spine and SC metrics on tissue-specific measures of the CM was investigated. RESULTS: Volumetric CM analyses (N = 23) for the SC, GM, and WM revealed a mean (SD) total volume of CM-TV = 1746.9 (296.7) mm 3 , CM-GM-TV = 731.2 (106.0) mm 3 , and CM-WM-TV = 1014.6 (211.3) mm 3 , respectively. The intra-rater COV for measuring the CM-TV and CM-GM-TV was 3.38% and 7.42%, respectively; the interrater COV was 3.43% and 10.80%, respectively. Using age, gender, spine and SC metrics in regression models substantially reduced group variability for CM-TV, CM-WM-TV, and CM-GM-TV by up to 39.2%, 42.7%, and 21.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The results from this study demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining tissue-specific volume measurements in the CM by means of MRI with good reproducibility and provide normative data for future applications in neurological diseases affecting the lower SC
