Aiming for ultra-scalable ePortfolio distribution using peer-to-peer networks
No full text08.07.13 KB. Ok to add published version to Spiral. EIfEL says author can use as please without restriction.In this paper the authors discuss how peer-to-peer technology offers a practical solution to building highly scalable Europe-wide and worldwide ePortfolio networks over existing network infrastructures.This solution also offers the effect of empowering individuals through moving the management and storage responsibilities onto the portfolio owners, decoupling users from any single institutional ePortfolio service provider The authors do not present this solution as the single way forward, but as an alternative to what is seen as a mainly client-server and Web-based approach to ePortfolio development, and to encourage developers to explore the possibilities for ePortfolio integration with emerging and relatively immature technologies. A prototype implementation is reported and future developments described

A middleware independent grid workflow builder for scientific applications
No full textGrid workflow authoring tools are typically specific to particular workflow engines built into Grid middleware, or are application specific and are designed to interact with specific software implementations. g-Eclipse is a middleware independent Grid workbench that aims to provide a unified abstraction of the Grid and includes a Grid workflow builder to allow users to author and deploy workflows to the Grid. This paper describes the g-Eclipse Workflow Builder and its implementations for two Grid middlewares, gLite and GRIA, and a case study utilizing the Workflow Builder in a Grid user's scientific workflow deployment

Michel Lagacé, David MacWilliam : Abstractions iconiques
No full textDespite the geographical and cultural gaps that distance Lagacé (Notre-Dame-du-Portage) from MacWilliam (Vancouver), Johnson invokes their closeness through the similar use of iconography and abstraction in their paintings. It is within the context of the history of painting that the author considers each painter’s work, while demonstrating how they both question modernist and formalist precepts. Johnson also outlines the stylistic criteria that should be used to group the works into series. Includes list of works. Texts in French and English. Biographical notes. 25 bibl. ref
More Notes by Coleman
No full textIn an article published in Medium Ævum in 1949, Neil Ker was the first to note the appearance of signed marginal notes in three eleventh-century manuscripts from Worcester. These notes carry a cryptic signature reading 'Coleman' when deciphered and identify the author as the man of that name who served as chancellor to St Wulfstan in 1089 and prior of the cell of Westbury-on-Trym in 1093. Coleman and Thomas, prior of Worcester, died in 1113, Viri probitatis eximiae', according to the chronicle of John of Worcester. This is, of course, the Coleman who authored the lost vernacular life of Wulfstan II, Bishop of Worcester (d. 1095), used by William of Malmesbury in writing his own Latin life of that saint. In addition to these three signed notes, Ker attributed further annotations in Latin and Old English in the same manuscripts to Coleman, as well as marginalia found in two other eleventh-century Worcester manuscripts. The corpus of marginalia attributable to Coleman was expanded by Elizabeth Mclntyre in 1978 and nearly forty years after Ker's article, William Stoneman published a follow-up, also in Medium Ævum, in which he identified a further signed Old English note by Coleman. More recently, yet another Latin rubric was added to the growing list of Colemanian addenda by Rodney Thomson. What follows constitutes a further substantial contribution to the collection of identifiable traces which this churchman left in no less than eight manuscripts during the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries.https://www.questia.com/library/p5466/medium-aevum/i4076224/vol-79-no-1-201

A Reading of the David and Goliath Narrative in Greek and Hebrew
No full textThe story of David and Goliath existed in antiquity in two distinct literary versions, a short version found in LXXB and a longer version reflected in the MT. This thesis proposes that each version is worthy of study in its own right and offers a close literary reading of the narrative of David and Goliath in the Greek text of 1 Reigns 16-18. In this study we explore a method of reading the Septuagint that recognizes it is both a document in its own right and a translation of a Hebrew original. In offering this reading of the septuagintal version of the David and Goliath narrative we will highlight the literary difference between the two final versions of the story that exist in LXXB and MT
