    Holograph letter from Ellen Stuffle, visitors' room of the American Express Company, Piazza di Spagna, Rome, to Hagan. Regretting he objected to a further loan; laying down the expenses; veering between contempt for those who do not help her and a certain regard for Hagan. The superioress of a Sisters de [Clancy]-convent helped her unstintingly; recounting how they met in Lourdes. She will pay her debts to him next week

    this paper took place while the author was visiting the Qualitative Reasoning Group at the Dept. of Computer Sciences of the University of Texas at Austin. G. Brajnik and D.J. Clancy / Focusing qualitative simulation 2 formation about the trajectory of a variable or relationships between the trajectories of interconnected variables. Such information allows the modeler to restrict the simulation to a region of the state space and to specify time--varying input variables. The Temporally Constrained Qsim (TeQsim, pronounced tek'sim) algorithm combines the expressive power of these two paradigms by interleaving temporal logic model checking with qualitative simulation. Temporal logic is used to specify qualitative and quantitative trajectory information that is incorporated into the simulation to constrain and refine the resulting behaviors. Qualitative simulation constructs a set of possible behaviors consistent with a model of a dynamical system represented by a qualitative differential equation (QDE). The Qsi

    Cittàslow. The Emilia-Romagna case

    No full text
    This chapter focuses on Cittaslow association, in order to see the importance of tourism in the choice of joining as well as the eventual impact on this sector. In the first part, the author considers some recent trends of global tourism and their effects on local development and hospitality policies. The second part focuses on Cittaslow in Italy and a preliminary investigation of certified cities in Emilia-Romagna; their territorial distribution, the importance of tourism for joining, and their measures to meet the requirements in hospitality policies. The third part examines the case of Santarcangelo di Romagna and the effects of Cittaslow membership on local tourism; the relation seems to be weak even if tourism has increased over the last years

    The message or the bottle? Community, associationism and adult learning as “part of the process of social change”

    Raymond Williams argued that the “the impulse to adult education” was never solely focused on “remedying deficit, making up for inadequate educational resources in the wider society” (Williams, 1983, in McIlroy and Westwood (Eds), 1993, p. 257). Nor was it primarily a response to “meeting new needs of the society”. This chapter argues, as Williams did, that adult education has to be more than “the bottle with the message in it, bobbing on the tides and waves of history” (ibid, p. 255), springing urgently, instead, from the “the desire to make learning part of the process of social change itself (ibid, p. 257). \ud Williams’ assertion suggests that Adult Education’s political purpose comes through the lens of community and associationism and their contribution to an ‘ethic of service’ and to social justice. Concepts such as ‘social mobility’ and ‘aspiration’ are politically freighted ideas which mask real knowledge dispossession and social precarity. This chapter explores the important role adult education can play in ‘left behind’ communities in the grip of decline, focusing on the role of residential colleges and also non-formal, family and community learning in engaging at community level with those who have no overt ‘voice’ in the political system. Finally, the chapter explores the role of adult education in consciousness raising and in the construction of ‘resources for a journey of hope’, examining how awareness of community history and labour struggles have provided continuity and resilience in times of escalating turbulence

    Overview of the 2019 open-source IR replicability challenge (OSIRRC 2019)

    The Open-Source IR Replicability Challenge (OSIRRC 2019), organized as a workshop at SIGIR 2019, aims to improve the replicability of ad hoc retrieval experiments in information retrieval by gathering a community of researchers to jointly develop a common Docker specification and build Docker images that encapsulate a diversity of systems and retrieval models. We articulate the goals of this workshop and describe the "jig" that encodes the Docker specification. In total, 13 teams from around the world submitted 17 images, most of which were designed to produce retrieval runs for the TREC 2004 Robust Track test collection. This exercise demonstrates the feasibility of orchestrating large, community-based replication experiments with Docker technology. We envision OSIRRC becoming an ongoing community-wide effort to ensure experimental replicability and sustained progress on standard test collections.Web Information System
