T.S. Eliot : a bibliography of T.S. Eliot criticism, 1987-2013
No full textThis bibliography of scholarship related to the writer T.S. Eliot is arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically within each year. This bibliography contains 1624 entries. Select entries have been annotated. Where available, annotations have been taken from the research database and are enclosed in brackets ([ ]). Annotations that have been taken from the works themselves are enclosed by asterisks. Annotations written by the author of this thesis have no special characters to distinguish them from other annotations. An annotated bibliography of Eliot criticism is essential to keep up with the recent resurgence in Eliot studies. The last bibliography published regarding Eliot's works was Sebastian Knowles and Scott A. Leonard's T.S. Eliot: Man and Poet, Volume 2: An Annotated Bibliography of a Decade of T.S. Eliot Criticism, 1977-1986. This new bibliography creates a central location for Eliot research for the years of 1987-2013
A Longitudinal Investigation of Person–Organization Fit, Person–Job Fit, and Contextual Performance: The Mediating Role of Psychological Ownership
No full textIn this study we present new insights into the relationships surrounding employees’ feelings of psychological ownership (PO) at work and the resulting effects on contextual performance. Characterized by a feeling of possession, PO has been theorized to have positive influences on the attitudes and behaviors of employees. To explore PO’s effects, we conducted a three-stage questionnaire survey of employees and their supervisors at a multinational pharmaceutical company in Taiwan. To help attenuate the errors associated with common method variance that trouble most studies using simultaneous data, a longitudinal approach was taken to investigate the relationships between person–organization fit, person–job fit, and PO. During the first stage of data collection, 330 questionnaires were sent to employees, and 168 (51%) valid questionnaires were returned. During the second stage, questionnaires were sent to the 168 employees who had responded to the first-stage survey. There were 134 (80%) valid questionnaires returned. Finally, during the third stage, questionnaires were sent to the supervisors of all 134 employees who had responded to the second-stage survey. There were 88 (66%) valid questionnaires returned. Findings reveal that person–job fit was significantly related to PO, and PO was significantly related to contextual performance. However, contrary to predictions, person–organization fit was positively, but not significantly, related to PO. We conclude by discussing the implications of these findings for both academics and practitioners and make suggestions for future research

In search of genius: T.S. Eliot as publisher
No full textThe article discusses about the literary style of the author T.S. Eliot. A systematic examination of T.S. Eliot's interactions as a publisher with almost every aspiring poet of his time is yet to be undertaken. Such an examination would be of interest for two reasons. It would reveal more about the creative and critical principles with which Eliot himself worked and it would give some indication of the manner in which he molded English literary culture by introducing and sponsoring younger poets

T.S. Kuhn se bydrae tot die wetenskapsleer
No full textIn this paper the author gives an exposition of T.S. Kuhn’s contribution to the philosophy and historiography of science. He discusses Kuhn’s rejection of the “received view "of science and places Kuhn’s critique on Logical Positivism within the framework of an historicist and sociological approach to the philosophy of science. The author pays attention to Kuhn s rival theory on the revolutionary growth oj science, with special reference to the role of the disciplinary matrix and exemplars in the formation of scientific knowledge. Kuhn’s differences form and attack on the basic premises oj the “received view" are clearly slated. After this exposition the author briefly evaluates Kuhn's influential contribution to the philosophy of science. He concludes with some remarks on the relevance of Kuhn’s theories for a Christian view of science
Query-dependent metric learning for adaptive, content-based image browsing and retrieval
No full textContent-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems often incorporate a relevance feedback mechanism in which retrieval is adapted based on users identifying images as relevant or irrelevant. Such relevance decisions are often assumed to be category-based. However, forcing a user to decide upon category membership of an image, even when unfamiliar with a database and irrespective of context, is restrictive. An alternative is to obtain user feedback in the form of relative similarity judgments. The ability of a user to provide meaningful feedback depends on the interface that displays retrieved images and facilitates the feedback. Similarity-based 2D layouts provide context and can enable more efficient visual search. Motivated by these observations, this study describes and evaluates an interactive image browsing and retrieval approach based on relative similarity feedback obtained from 2D image layouts. It incorporates online maximal-margin learning to adapt the image similarity metric used to perform retrieval. A user starts a session by browsing a collection of images displayed in a 2D layout. He/she may choose a query image perceived to be similar to the envisioned target image. A set of images similar to the query are then returned. The user can then provide relational feedback and/or update the query image to obtain a new set of images. Algorithms for CBIR are often characterised empirically by simulating usage based on pre-defined, fixed category labels, deeming retrieved results as relevant if they share a category label with the query. In contrast, the purpose of the system in this study is to enable browsing and retrieval without predefined categories. Therefore evaluation is performed in a target-based setting by quantifying the efficiency with which target images are retrieved given initial queries
J.V. Foix, traductor de T.S. Eliot (1927)
No full textAquest article vol demostrar que J.V. Foix és l’autor de les traduccions al català, publi-cades anònimament el 1927, de dos textos crítics de T.S. Eliot i de la tercera secció de The WasteLand. Les fonts són: «Note sur Mallarmé et Poe» (1926) i, en versió de Jean de Menasce, «Deuxattitudes mystiques: Dante et Donne» (1927) i La Terre mise à nu(1926). L’interès d’Eliot i Foixper Guido Cavalcanti és remarcable, i tal vegada remet a Rémy de Gourmont.This article argues that J.V. Foix was the author of the Catalan translations, pu -blished anonymously in 1927, of two essays by T.S. Eliot as well as the third section of Eliot’sThe Waste Land. The sources of these translations are Eliot’s «Note sur Mallarmé et Poe» (1926)and, in Jean de Menasce’s rendering, «Deux attitudes mystiques: Dante et Donne» (1927) and LaTerre mise à nu(1926). Eliot and Foix’s common interest in Guido Cavalcanti is worthy of note,and is perhaps rooted in Rémy de Gourmont
