Filmmaker Noel Murphy describes the creation and content of his film, "The last dymaxion : Buckminster Fuller's dream restored"
No full textFilmmaker Noel Murphy describes the creation and content of his film, "The Last Dymaxion: Buckminster Fuller's Dream Restored." Murphy talks about the genius and legacy of Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller, an American architect, author, inventor, and futurist as he introduces the film. The discussion is interrupted for the special screening of the film and picks up again after the screening. The soundtrack is not recorded. Murphy talks about re-editing the film to emphasize the design science thesis and synergy motif and make connections between Fuller's vision and technology being used today. He responds to audience questions and entertains additional questions after his presentation. Murphy is introduced by Michigan State University Librarian Michael Rodriguez. Part of the MSU Libraries' Colloquia Series and the Library Film Series. Cosponsored by: MSU Art, Art History & Design; Michigan State Historic Preservation Office; East Lansing Film Society; and the East Lansing Public Library. Held at the MSU Main Library
Collaboration and interconnectivity: Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services and higher education institutions in Nottingham
No full textThis paper will describe the developing relationship between Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Services and the two Higher Education Institutions in Nottingham. It will chronicle how a very traditional relationship has been transformed, initially by a simple consultancy project, into a much closer working relationship characterised by a much richer variety of collaborative projects. It demonstrates the potential mutual benefits that greater trust and reciprocity between the institutions can bring to both academia and to practice and the impact it has already had on curriculum development, teaching and learning in Nottingham
A Shared Palette: Hemingway and Winslow Homer, Painters of the Gulf Stream
No full textArgues that the influence of the painter on the author is broader and deeper than previously thought. Murphy explores the connection between images of blood and water in To Have and Have Not and Homer’s “The Gulf Stream” oil painting, as well as allusions to Homer’s seascape in Islands in the Stream and The Old Man and the Sea. These parallels, Murphy argues, reveal the artists’ shared dispositions toward fate and death

Alamos Alliance XXVIII 2021 Executive Summary
No full textEducationThe year 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic abruptly shifted the manner in which people interact, save, spend, work, and carry out day-to-day business. The 28th meeting of the annual Alamos Alliance, which was held virtually on April 30, 2021, addressed the economics of the Covid-19 disruption, the recent rise of cryptocurrency, and fiscal and monetary policy responses to the pandemic. This report summarizes the presentations given by Vice President & Chief Economist of World Bank Group Carmen Reinhart, Professor Casey Mulligan, Robert Topel, Kevin Murphy, former Texas Senator Phil Gramm, Anne Krueger, and Manuel Suarez Mier. A discussion with Manuel Sanchez, Tom Saving, Pedro Aspe and Sebastain Edwards on cryptocurrencies and inflation followed

The apple of discord : the impact of the Levant on Anglo-French relations during 1943
No full textThis thesis provides a detailed account and analysis of
Anglo-French relations in the Levant and their impact on the
more general relationship between the British and the Free
French during the important year of 1943. It aims to examine
and explain how the Levant, traditionally an area of mutual
suspicion and rivalry, created and accentuated discord and
dissension between wartime Allies and , on occasion , even
came perilously close to rupturing their relations.
The introduction provides a survey of Anglo-French
relations in the region as a backdrop against which the
period covered by the thesis must be viewed. Chapters I-IV
examine two policies pursued by Britain in the interests of
the war effort, the persuasion of the Free French to honour
their independence pledge to Syria and Lebanon and the
encouragement of the formation of a unified French movement
in North Africa. Arising from these policies, the mounting
tensions between the Foreign Office and its principal
representative in the Levant and between Churchill and de
Gaulle are explored. The influence of deteriorating AngloFrench relations in the Levant on the Churchill-de Gaulle relationship is considered as are the high-level AngloFrench discussions in the summer of 1943 which acknowledged the need for better co-operation in the Levant. Chapters V and VI investigate the increasing Bri tish involvement in Levant politics, which resulted in the establishment of strongly nationalist and anti-French governments in both Syria and Lebanon.
Chapters VII-XII are concerned exclusively with events
in the Lebanon during late October and November 1943 which
provoked a major crisis in Anglo-French relations. Attention
is focused on the efforts of the Foreign Office and their
French counterparts to defuse the crisis and to lessen its
overall impact, and is contrasted with the intransigence
displayed by Churchill and de Gaulle and with the
belligerence of both French and British authorities on the
spot. The final chapters deal with the efforts made to heal
the breach in the Anglo-French relationship by both sides
and the attempt by both to re-evaluate and reform their
policies in the Levant. The troubled course of the AngloFrench alliance in the Levant throughout the remainder of the war, including the crisis in Syria in May and June 1945, is examined in a brief epilogue

MURPHY: A neurally-inspired connectionist approach to learning and performance in vision-based robot motion planning
No full text"Many aspects of intelligent animal behavior require an understanding of the complex spatial relationships between the body and its parts and the coordinate systems of the external world. This thesis deals specifically with the problem of guiding a multi-link arm to a visual target in the presence of obstacles. A simple vision-based kinematic controller and motion planner based on a connectionist network architecture has been developed, called MURPHY. The physical setup consists of a video camera and a Rhino XR-3 robot arm with three joints that move in the image plane of the camera. We assume no a priori model of arm kinematics or of the imaging characteristics of the camera/visual system, and no sophisticated built-in algorithms for obstacle avoidance. Instead, MURPHY builds a model of his arm through a combination of physical and ""mental"" practice, and then uses simple heuristic search with mental images of his arm to solve visually-guided reaching problems in the presence of obstacles whose traditional algorithmic solutions are extremely complex. MURPHY differs from previous approaches to robot motion-planning primarily in his use of an explicit full-visual-field representation of the workspace. Several other aspects of MURPHY's design are unusual, including the sigma-pi synaptic learning rule, the teacherless training paradigm, and the integration of sequential control within an otherwise connectionist architecture. In concluding sections we outline a series of strong correspondences between the representations and algorithms used by MURPHY, and the psychology, physiology, and neural bases for the programming and control of directed, voluntary arm movements in humans and animals."Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:57:59Z (GMT).
