No full textPhotograph of a Tree Crusher Tender built in Vicksburg, Mississippi and intended for use at the Tournata complex in Liberia, according to author Eric Orlemann. Shown with the tank are R.G. LeTourneau, left, and an unidentified man. The tank was never actually shipped to Tournata
Longview manufacturing plant under construction, LT21 Misc Photos Archive 062.
No full textPhotograph of the Longview manufacturing plant of R.G. LeTourneau, Inc. The plant's construction began in 1945 and completed in 1946. At the time, according to Otis Hays, author of R.G. LeTourneau: Move of Men and Mountains, at the time it was the world's largest welding and manufacturing plant under one roof, covering more than 100 acres

No full textPhotograph of R.G. LeTourneau's Series H (Model 6-16) Disc Plow, designed for land-clearing operations. It was powered by a front longitudinally mounted diesel, according to author Eric Orlemann
Large LeTourneau tree crusher, LT20
No full textPhotograph of aLeTourneau tree crusher with three unidentified men. This is likely the Series G-50 Tree Crusher, judging from a similar photo in author Eric Orlemann's book on R.G. LeTourneau's earthmoving equipment
The Added Value of Enterprise Architecture
No full textApplying architecture implies that it provides added value across an enterprise. Although widely adopted, this claim has only been scarcely investigated, not to mention quantified. This document describes the results of a case study to quantify the effects of applying Enterprise Architecture within a financial institution called FinCom. For confidential information reasons, the name of this company is fictive. The thesis attempts to capture several factors at project level with respect to the application of Enterprise Architecture and its subsequent financial benefits. The study analyzed 40 projects, with regard to time and budget overrun. In order to collect these data, a total of 35 business, enterprise and domain architects were interviewed on their experience with these projects. Among factors taken into account were architecture type, project compliance to architecture and experience of the architect. Consequently, these factors are recorded in hypotheses that relate to the budget and time figures of the project. These hypotheses are incorporated in the 'Architecture Effectiveness Model' and statistically tested with the acquired data. This led to more than 12.000 calculations to show the subsequent benefits of Enterprise Architecture.Information ArchitectureComputer ScienceElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Early Carolingian: Italy
No full textThis chapter surveys the use of Early Carolingian minuscule script in Italy. It discusses the transition from various Pre-Caroline cursive bookscripts to a distinctive Italian variant of the Carolingian hand, which occurred gradually after Charlemagne’s conquest of Italy in 774. The author also evaluates the spread of the script through Northern and Central Italy during the ninth and into the tenth century

No full textWhat do recent developments in the area of self-compassion have to offer the treatment of social anxiety?
No full textA variety of recent literature has considered the impact of self-compassion onmental health. Further research is needed, but the evidence to date suggeststhat self-compassion is associated with psychological well-being (Neff, 2003a;Neff, Kirkpatrick, Rude, 2007; Neff, Rude, Kirkpatrick, 2007), and that enhancingself-compassion can buffer against social-evaluative concerns (Leary, Tate,Allen, & Adams, 2007, Neff, 2003a). Additionally, when enhancing selfcompassionas been used as part of a treatment for mental health problems,symptoms have reduced (Gilbert & Procter, 2006; Linehan, Heard, & Armstrong;1999; Lee, 2005; Mayhew & Gilbert, 2008; Teasdale, Segal, Williams,Ridgeway, Soulsby, & Lau, 2000). The following paper explores the role thatself-compassion may have in the aetiology and maintenance of social phobia. Inorder to do this, current aetiological and maintenance models are reviewed, andhypotheses made about how self-compassion may impact on these processes.Evidence from both clinical and nonclinical studies is used to support thesehypotheses, and further research is suggested.In the second paper some of these hypotheses are tested. In this study,evaluations of performance, post-event processing, and anxiety were measuredin a socially anxious analogue group, following a stressful social situation. Thesescores were then compared to those of other socially anxious participants whodid not undergo a self-compassion induction. Results showed no differences inlevels of post-event processing or anxiety between the groups. However,participants in the self-compassion group rated their performance more closelyto the rating of an independent observer than participants in the other groups.This suggests that increasing self-compassion facilitated greater objectivitywhen evaluating participants? own performances of a socially stressful task.Implications for the treatment of social phobia are discussed, and suggestionsare made for further research
