A reappraisal of online mathematics teaching using LaTeX
No full textThe mathematics language LaTeX is often seen outside of academic circles as a legacy technology that is awkward to use. MathML - a verbose language designed for data-exchange, and to be written and understood by machines - is sometimes by contrast seen as something that will aid online mathematics and lack of browser support for it bemoaned. However LaTeX can already do many of the things that MathML might promise. LaTeX is here proposed as a language from which small fragments, with concise syntax, can be used by people to easily create and share mathematical expressions online. The capability to embed fragments of LaTeX code in online discussions is described here and its impact on a group of educators and learners evaluated. Here LaTeX is posited as a useful tool for facilitating asynchronous, online, collaborative learning of mathematics

Evolutionary Morphing for Music Composition
No full textFrom one view of composition-let us call it the inspired or "Mozartian" view-musical compositions arrive fully formed in the mind of the composer and simply require transcription. In reality, however, it seems that very few people are so inspired, and composition is often more akin to a gradual clarification and refinement of partially formed ideas on the musical landscape. Particular landmarks in the compositional landscape tend to become clear before others, such that the incomplete piece is a patchwork of disconnected musical islands. An interactive evolutionary morphing system may provide some assistance for composers, to help build bridges between musical islands by generating hybrid musical transitions.Full Tex

Sample questions asked in the 30th edition of Annual Editions: Comparative Politics 12/13:
As summarized in “When Politics Is Not Just a Man’s Game: Women’s Representation and Political Engagement,” what are the two important qualifications regarding the links between women’s representation and women’s political engagement that the comparative research offers?
As suggested in “Smart Dictators Don’t Quash the Internet,” the most urgent Internet question facing many dictators today is what to do about American social networking sites like Facebook.
As set forth in “Twenty-Five Years, Fifteen Findings,” it has been shown that political parties make no contribution to democratic stability

Open Access to Research: Changing Researcher Behavior Through University and Funder Mandates
No full textThe primary target of the worldwide Open Access initiative is the 2.5 million articles published every year in the planet's 25,000 peer-reviewed research journals across all scholarly and scientific fields. Without exception, every one of these articles is an author give-away, written, not for royalty income, but solely to be used, applied and built upon by other researchers. The optimal and inevitable solution for this give-away research is that it should be made freely accessible to all its would-be users online and not only to those whose institutions can afford subscription access to the journal in which it happens to be published. Yet this optimal and inevitable solution, already fully within the reach of the global research community for at least two decades now, has been taking a remarkably long time to be grasped. The problem is not particularly an instance of "eDemocracy" one way or the other; it is an instance of inaction because of widespread misconceptions (reminiscent of Zeno's Paradox). The solution is for the world's research institutions and funders to (1) extend their existing "publish or perish" mandates so as to (2) require their employees and fundees to maximize the usage and impact of the research they are employed and funded to conduct and publish by (3) depositing their final drafts in their Open Access (OA) Institutional Repositories immediately upon acceptance for publication in order to (4) make their findings freely accessible to all their potential users webwide. OA metrics can then be used to measure and reward research progress and impact; and multiple layers of links, tags, commentary and discussion can be built upon and integrated with the primary research
Scholarly Editing: Open Access Editions Online
No full textOnline publication challenges our notion of the scholarly edition in a number of ways: the resulting editions require teamwork to produce, can be perpetually updated, and open up new avenues of collaboration with users. Drawing on examples from the Networked Interface for Nineteenth-Century Electronic Scholarship (NINES), The Yellow Nineties Online, and the Devonshire Manuscript: A Social Edition, Constance Crompton discusses role of open access online editions in the changing shape of humanities scholarship.GraduateReviewe
