Towards a Framework for Developing Mobile Agents for Managing Distributed Information Resources
No full textDistributed information management tools allow users to author, disseminate, discover and manage information within large-scale networked environments, such as the Internet. Agent technology provides the flexibility and scalability necessary to develop such distributed information management applications. We present a layered organisation that is shared by the specific applications that we build. Within this organisation we describe an architecture where mobile agents can move across distributed environments, integrate with local resources and other mobile agents, and communicate their results back to the user
Unifying Distributed Processing and Open Hypertext through a Heterogeneous Communication Model
No full textA successful distributed open hypermedia system can be characterised by a scaleable architecture which is inherently distributed. While the architects of distributed hypermedia systems have addressed the issues of providing and retrieving distributed resources, they have often neglected to design systems with the inherent capability to exploit the distributed processing of this information. The research presented in this paper describes the construction and use of an open hypermedia system concerned equally with both of these facets
Maternal mental state talk and infants' early gestural communication
No full textTwenty-four infants were tested monthly for the production of imperative and declarative gestures between 0 ; 9 and 1 ; 3 and concurrent mother–infant free-play sessions were conducted at 0 ; 9, 1 ; 0 and 1 ; 3 (Carpenter, Nagell & Tomasello, 1998). Free-play transcripts were subsequently coded for maternal talk about mental states. Results revealed that the earlier infants produced imperative gestures, the more frequently their mothers made reference to the infants' own volitional states (want, try, need, etc.) at 1 ; 3. The same relation also emerged using maternal reports of their infants' gestural communication on a standard language development measure. These results indicate that mothers' talk about desires and intentions is linked to their infants' early developing communicative competence
The Jewish Setting of the Epistle of James
No full textMany older commentators understood the Epistle of James to address itself to Jews of the diaspora, whether Christian or not. Although few modern scholars have seriously reckoned with this possibility, much is to be said for the thesis. It makes sense for example of important features of the epistle that otherwise would remain unclear, such as its dearth of explicit Christology, its seeming lack of distinctive Christian sentiments, and its thoroughly Jewish orientation. The author was a Jewish Christian still hoping for a Christian place within the Jewish synagogue; he wished for irenic relations with those who did not confess Jesus to be the Messiah. He was thus intentionally quiescent about much for apologetical purposes, a strategy with clear parallels in other ancient Christian literature.
Die Joodse agtergrond van die Jakobusbrief. Die Jakobusbrief is deur baie van die ouer kommentaarskrywers gesien as ’n selfverklarende geskrif aan die Jode van die diaspora – hetsy Christene of nie-Christene. Hoewel van die moderne navorsers heelhartig daarmee saamstem, bestaan daar heelwat twyfel oor hierdie siening. Dit maak egter sin ten opsigte van sekere belangrike beskrywings van die brief wat andersins onverklaarbaar sou wees soos die gebrek aan uitdruklike Christologie, die skynbare gebrek aan kenmerkende Christelike sentimente en die grondige Joodse oriëntering daarvan. Die skrywer was ’n Joodse Christen wat steeds gehoop het vir erkenning binne die Joodse sinagoge en versoenende verhoudings met diegene wat nie vir Jesus as die Messias erken het nie, verlang het. Dus was hy met voorbedagde rade baie stil oor baie dinge om apologetiese redes – ’n strategie wat duidelike parallelle met ander antieke Christelike literatuur toon
An Open Framework for Integrating Widely Distributed Hypermedia Resources
No full textThe success of the WWW has served as an illustration of how hypermedia functionality can enhance access to large amounts of distributed information. However, the WWW and many other distributed hypermedia systems offer very simple forms of hypermedia functionality which are not easily applied to existing applications and data formats, and cannot easily incorporate alternative functions which would aid hypermedia navigation to and from existing documents that have not been developed with hypermedia access in mind. This paper describes the extension to a distributed environment of the open hypermedia functionality of the Microcosm system, which is designed to support the provision of hypermedia access to a wide range of source material and application, and to offer straightforward extension of the system to incorporate new forms of information access
The Lichens of the Żywiec Dale
No full textThe Żywiec Dale extends over ca. 100 sq. kms and belongs to the Silesian and Babia Góra Sub-Region. It was formed
at the confluence of the rivers Soła, Koszarawa, Lękawka, Lesna, Zylica and other lesser streems. It is surrounded
with the steep slopes of the Beskid Mts.: the Silesian Beskid from the west, the Little Beskid from the north and
the slopes of the Romanka and Barania Góra mountain ranges. It is almost flat in character, only to a small extent
sloping down to the Soła which crosses this area approximately in its middle.
The bottom of the Żywiec Dale is formed of geological sediments of the Sub-Silesian and Cieszyn series, which are
open to cutting by erosion and denudation. These sediments are covered with younger ones, mostly of Quaternary
origin. The sediments of the Cieszyn series, mainly Cieszyn lime, emerge to the surface only at the foot of the
Silesian Beskid, and are a breeding-ground for calciphile lichen, such as Caloplaca stillicidiorum, C. decipiens,
C. dolomiticola, Protoblastenia rupestris, Ronodina bischoffii, Candelariella aurella, Bacidia muscorum, Collema
tenax, Leptogium lichenoides, Leptogium pusillum, Placynthium nigrum, Acarospora heppii, Lecanora (Aspicilia)
calcarea, L. (A.) contorta, L. (A.) hoffmanii.
Rounded sandstone pebbles coming from the Beskid Mts., were brought by fluvial transport and deposited under a
petrified form along the river and stream beds. Upon the old gravel fields these rounded sandstone pebbles are
overgrown with acidograta, C. prasina, Chaonetheca nudiuscula, Thelocarpon epibolium, Th. laureri and Candelariela
xanthostigma.
On moorlands and old gravel fields in dry ana open spaces a number of species of the Cladonia variety have been
observed, such as Cl. deformis, Cl. digitata, Cl. chlorophaea, Cl. cornutoradiata, Cl. degenerans, Cl. furcata, Cl.
gracilis, Cl. pyxitata, Cl. rangiformis, Cl. rangiferina, Cl. mitis, Cl. sylvatica, and, moreover, Pycnthelia
papillaria, Basomyces roseus, B. rufus, Cornicularia aculeata and Peltigera rufescena.
Listing the species of lichen systematically, the author has comprised the respective stands of the 180 varieties
of lichen found on the territory of the Żywiec Dale

Chapter 2, Democracy Public Administrators and Public Policy, authored by Dale Krane, UNO faculty member.
The true measure of the successful practice of public service is its ability to remain faithful to the tenets of democratic society. This introductory text links the practice of public administration to the core concepts of American democracy. It covers the nuts and bolts of public administration in the context of delivering democracy in public service--providing what the public really wants as opposed to what self-serving bureaucracies may call for.
Chapters in Democracy and Public Administration discuss the functional topics covered in other texts, but from the perspective of this democratic ideal. Each chapter is written by an expert in the area, and summarizes previous research in the area, presents the author\u27s research and thought, and offers ways in which practitioners can apply the concepts discussed to their daily work.https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/facultybooks/1197/thumbnail.jp
