Little Matty Grove
(Fragment, Child #81)
He run and he run to the broad water side,
And he fell upon his breast and he swum.
He swum and he swum till he reached dry land And he taken to his heels and he run.
Little Matty Groves gone home with your wife And a bed-feller he shall be.
If this be true my little footy page,
Those news you come tell unto me,
I have one daughter in this wide world And a married man you shall be.
But if this be a lie, my little footy page, Those news you come tell unto me,
I'll build me a scaffold ten feet high,
And a hanged man you shall be.
Get up, get up, my little Matty Grove And put your clothing on For it ain't to be said when I am dead That I slew a man in the bed.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
Run-up tests on a permeable slope
No full textThis report is the result of the Master of Science thesis of the author, at the Delft University of Technology, sub-Faculty of Civil Engineering. Although a lot is known nowadays about the run-up on smooth and impermeable slopes as well as the run-up on slopes covered with a rock armour layer, the physical properties of the armour layer of a rubble mound breakwater are not incorporated in the relations describing the run-up on a breakwater's slope. The roughness of a slope and its permeability, which can be described by a characteristic diameter of the armour unit and the porosity of the layer, are not used in the description of the run-up. This report is an attempt to get insight into the influence that the roughness and the permeability of a slope have on the run-up on this slope. In order to achieve this goal, dimensional parameters are derived describing the roughness of a slope and its permeability. Firstly, the framework of the design of a breakwater is given in order to place the run-up on a rough, permeable slope. The run-up itself is dealt with separately. Experiments were performed in order to obtain data that can be used to quantify the influence of the roughness of the slope and its permeability. The experiments were performed leaving the permeability of the whole structure out of consideration. To achieve a difference in porosity of the armour layer, rock armour units were used as well as tetrapod armour units. Two approaches of data analysis are applied on the data obtained from these experiments. This first approach describes the run-up on a rough, permeable slope by a combination of a roughness parameter, a permeability parameter and the breaker parameter. The roughness parameter and the permeability parameter are derived by forming non-dimensional parameters that describe roughness and permeability. The run-up, usually made non-dimensional using the wave height (H) is made non-dimensional here using the nominal diameter. This gave better results in combination with the derived parameters describing the roughness and the permeability of a slope. The second approach describes the run-up on a rough, permeable slope by using the relative run-up R.lH and a newly derived non-dimensional parameter resembling the Iribarren parameter, but incorporating the influence of the permeability of the armour layer. When the relative run-up is put against the Iribarren parameter and is put against the newly derived non-dimensional parameter, the appearing scatter is less in the latter case. In both approaches, two relations describing the run-up on a rough permeable slope are derived. One for breaking waves and one for non-breaking waves. For the second approach, the found relations have a significant resemblance with the known formulae for run-up on a slope covered with rock armour units, derived by van der Meer and Starn. When the relations derived following the both approaches are compared, the relations derived by the second approach are the relations that give the best feeling with the physical processes as they occur. The relation for non-breaking waves, derived using the first approach, is applied on data obtained from physical model tests on a breakwater covered with tetrapod armour units. The calculated nondimensional run-up is compared with the measured non-dimensional run-up. The results show that the permeability of the whole structure can not be neglected, especially inthe case of non-breaking waves.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Solving Maximum Number of Run Using Genetic Algorithm
No full text This thesis defends the use of genetic algorithms (GA) to solve the maximum number of
repetitions in a binary string. Repetitions in strings have significant uses in many
different fields, whether it is data-mining, pattern-matching, data compression or
computational biology 14]. Main extended the definition of repetition, he realized that
in some cases output could be reduced because of overlapping repetitions, that are
simply rotations of one another [10]. As a result, he designed the notion of a run to
capture the maximal leftmost repetition that is extended to the right as much as
possible. Franek and Smyth independently computed the same number of maximum
repetition for strings of length five to 35 using an exhaustive search method. Values
greater than 35 were not computed because of the exponential increase in time
required. Using GAs we are able to generate string with very large, if not the maximum,
number of runs for any string length. The ability to generate strings with large runs is an
advantage for learning more about the characteristics of these strings. ThesisMaster of Science (MSc

Real Exchange Rate in China : A Long-run Perspective
No full textThis paper investigates the RMB exchange rate from a long-run viewpoint. Whether Chinas rapid economic growth brought about real exchange rate appreciation between 1975 and 2002 is empirically examined, based on a supply-side model, the BalassaSemuelson Hypothesis (BSH). The same test is conducted on Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and India. Our result indicates that the BSH only exists where the industrial structure has been upgraded and the economy has been successfully transformed from an agricultural economy to a manufacturing economy. Interestingly, China, among those where the BSH does not present, appears to be upgrading its industrial and trade structure. We then try to answer the question of why past rapid growth has no significant relationship with the RMB real exchange rate and what factors are underlying the trend of the RMB real exchange rate. We expect an appreciating trend of RMB real exchange rate in the foreseeable future, presuming that Chinas industrial upgrading process continues and the factors pertaining to the BSHs prediction, such as rise of wage rates in both tradables and nontradables, become more significant.RMB real exchange rate, economic growth

The article was made available through the Brunel University Open Access Publishing Fund.This study examined the effect of run-up velocity on the peak height achieved by the athlete in the pole vault and on the corresponding changes in the athlete's kinematics and energy exchanges. Seventeen jumps by an experienced male pole vaulter were video recorded in the sagittal plane and a wide range of run-up velocities (4.5-8.5 m/s) was obtained by setting the length of the athlete's run-up (2-16 steps). A selection of performance variables, kinematic variables, energy variables, and pole variables were calculated from the digitized video data. We found that the athlete's peak height increased linearly at a rate of 0.54 m per 1 m/s increase in run-up velocity and this increase was achieved through a combination of a greater grip height and a greater push height. At the athlete's competition run-up velocity (8.4 m/s) about one third of the rate of increase in peak height arose from an increase in grip height and about two thirds arose from an increase in push height. Across the range of run-up velocities examined here the athlete always performed the basic actions of running, planting, jumping, and inverting on the pole. However, he made minor systematic changes to his jumping kinematics, vaulting kinematics, and selection of pole characteristics as the run-up velocity increased. The increase in run-up velocity and changes in the athlete's vaulting kinematics resulted in substantial changes to the magnitudes of the energy exchanges during the vault. A faster run-up produced a greater loss of energy during the take-off, but this loss was not sufficient to negate the increase in run-up velocity and the increase in work done by the athlete during the pole support phase. The athlete therefore always had a net energy gain during the vault. However, the magnitude of this gain decreased slightly as run-up velocity increased
Cointegration and Price Discovery between Equity and Mortgage REITs
No full textThis study analyzes the relationship between equity and mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) stock prices by performing cointegration tests and causality tests, and estimating an error correction model. Evidence is found that a stable long-run linear relationship exists based on their common reactions to changes in market returns, interest rates and other additional factors. Geweke causality test results indicate a causal relationship running from EREIT stock prices to MREIT stock prices. This may reflect the quicker response of equity REIT stock prices to changes including real estate returns. In addition, the results suggest overall linear dependence (total linear causality) and instantaneous linear feedback between changes in EREIT and MREIT stock prices. The results of the error correction model not only indicate a significant increase in the explanatory power of the model compared with the vector autoregression model but also reveals how the price discovery processes in REIT security markets maintain long-run equilibrium.
Mapping a class of run-time dependencies onto regular arrays
No full textThe production of regular computations using algorithmic engineering techniques is beginning to play an important role in the synthesis of massively parallel and VLSI processor arrays. The author widens the class of algorithms that can be formally synthesized by introducing a mapping theorem for a class of algorithms with run-time dependencies. The technique is illustrated by deriving uniform recurrences for the so-called knapsack problem, the resulting systolic array is known to be optimal
Modelling very large complex systems using distributed simulation: A pilot study in a healthcare setting
No full textModern manufacturing supply chains are hugely complex and like all stochastic systems, can benefit from simulation. Unfortunately supply chain systems often result in massively large and complicated models, which even today’s powerful computers cannot run efficiently. This paper presents one possible solution - distributed simulation. This pilot study is implemented in a healthcare setting, the supply chain of blood from donor to recipient
