Elmer Eisner letter to John Wheeler, 24-November-1957
No full textElmer Eisner was a geophysicist working for Texaco in Houston, TX. Here he is responding to the published versions of Hugh Everett's short thesis and Wheeler's commentary. His idea seems to be that one cannot distinguish between intentional measurements made by some observer and other, "spontaneous" measurements. Although the formalism and language are not yet in place, this letter prefigures some later discussion on decoherence, insofar as Eisner is beginning to think about the role that spurious correlations with the environment can affect the evolution of the universal wave function. Unfortunately, we do not have John Wheeler's "off-hand" response to Eisner, nor do we know if Everett wrote anything as Wheeler requested.This document was found in the basement of Mark Everett in 2007 by Mark Everett and Peter Byrne

No full textA letter from Elliot Eisner, Professor of Education and Art, Stanford University, to various professors, including R. William McCarter, Co-director, North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts. Eisner thanks these professors for serving as a member of a 12-person National Curriculum Working Group. Eisner explains the task of the group, to create a body of material that can be used by each of the six Regional Institute Grantees to develop a unified and coherent array of curriculum materials for students, with the materials given to them by The Getty Center for Education in the Arts

[Letter from Elliot Eisner to R. William McCarter, March 12, 1997]
No full textA letter from Elliot Eisner, Professor of Education and Art, Sandford University, to R. William McCarter, Co-director, North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts, about clearing up McCarter's confusion about Eisner's development of curriculum units. McCarter had earlier sent a letter expressing their surprisement of Eisner not focusing their attention of the analysis of curriculum units. Eisner states that they are enclosing three documents, letter of November 19, letter of January 27, and a agenda that Eisner prepared with their letter of January 27 as proof that they explicitly said they would be developing curriculum units instead of analyzing curriculum units. Eisner goes on to state that if McCarter had any reservations about the line of work, they could've written to Eisner

Efficient Parsing for Bilexical Context-Free Grammars and Head Automaton Grammars
No full textSeveral recent stochastic parsers use bilexical grammars, where each word type idiosyncratically prefers particular complements with particular head words. We present O(n 4 ) parsing algorithms for two bilexical formalisms, improving the previous upper bounds of O(n 5 ). Also, for a common special case that was known to allow O(n 3 ) parsing (Eisner, 1997), we present an O(n 3 ) algorithm with an improved grammar constant. 1 Introduction Lexicalized grammar formalisms are of both theoretical and practical interest to the computational linguistics community. Such formalisms specify syntactic facts about each word of the language---in particular, the type of arguments that the word can or must take. Early mechanisms of this sort included categorial grammar (BarHillel, 1953) and subcategorization frames (Chomsky, 1965). Other lexicalized formalisms include (Schabes et al., 1988; Mel'cuk, 1988; Pollard and Sag, 1994). Besides the possible arguments of a word, a natural-language gra..

VORWORT
Schon im Alter von 8 Jahren begann ich mit dem Sammeln von Schmetterlingen. Die Parnassier, die in meiner oberschlesischen Heimat nicht vorkommen, waren mir Jahre lang nur aus Abbildungen bekannt. Erst als Neunzehnjähriger erbeutete ich die ersten Parnassius apollo und P. phoebus im Engadin, die, ohne besonderes Interesse für diese Arten, meiner Sammlung einverleibt wurden. Erst nach dem ersten Weltkriege weckte eine Auswahlsendung, in der sich vor allem auch asiatische Parnassier befanden, mein Interesse für deren grosse Variabilität; doch arbeitete ich auch noch weiter am Ausbau anderer Familien meiner Sammlung. Die grosse Veränderung trat erst ein, als ich mit meinem Freund Felix Bryk, dem Altmeister der Parnassiologie, in Kontakt kam, seine typenreiche Sammlung übernahm, und in gemeinsamer Arbeit mit ihm in „Parnassiana" die „Kritische Revision der Gattung Parnassius" begann. Die Jahre 1930 bis 1938 waren dem intensiven Studium aller Parnassiiden, deren wir habhaft werden konnten, gewidmet. Der zweite Weltkrieg unterbrach Bryk's und meine Zusammenarbeit, die nach dem Kriege nur sporadisch durch gelegentlichen Meinungsaustausch fortgesetzt werden konnte; Bryk lebte in Stockholm, ich in Den Haag. Meine Sammlung fand ich am Ende des zweiten Weltkrieges wohlbehalten im Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, vor. Der ein
The making of a European constitution: judges and law beyond constitutive power
No full textBook synopsis: An original and innovative recasting of constitutionalism, written by acknowledged experts in the field, this empirically grounded and theoretically informed volume addresses the strategies and philosophies that judges and lawyers bring to bear when creating European constitutional jurisprudence; investigating and promoting promotes the sustainability of a theory or praxis of ‘procedural’ constitutionalism.\ud
\ud
Building upon European and American critical legal scholarship, Michelle Everson and Julia Eisner argue that constitutional adjudication has never been the neutral matter of a mere judicial ‘identification’ of the values, norms and procedures that each society seeks to concretise in its own body of constitutional law. Instead, a ‘mythology’ of comprehensive national constitutional settlement has obscured the primary legal constitutional conundrum that is created by the requirement that a judiciary must always adapt its constitutional jurisprudence to the evolving values that are to be found within any society; but must always, also, maintain the integrity and autonomy of the law itself.\ud
\ud
European judges and lawyers, having been denied recourse to all forms of constitutional mythology, provide us with an alternative model of constitutionalism; one that does not require a founding myth of constitutional settlement, and one which both secures the autonomy of law, as well as ensures dialogue between law and society. This occurs, however, not through grand theories of ‘constitutional adjudication’ but, as The Making of a European Constitution documents, rather through a practical process
