Davis and Isaacs Family Papers, Und,1882-1987 1900-1941
No full textThis collection comprises the papers of the Davis and Isaacs Families, the bulk of which dates from about 1900 to 1940. Earlier materials tend to relate to the Davis Family, while those produced later tend to relate to the Isaacs Family. It includes mostly photographs and correspondence from 1900 to about 1940, but also includes travel diaries and journals, and general family artifacts including a stamp collection, a book of poems, a sympathy album, and organic materials such as hair and flower pressings. A large portion of the correspondence series is produced by Charles K. Davis, his daughter Ella Davis Isaacs, and her husband Nathan T. Isaacs. While most of the material is written in English, some correspondence is written in Hebrew and German. The photographs are almost exclusively of the Davis family, excepting those of Nathan T. Isaacs. The collection is of particular interest to researchers studying Professor Nathan T. Isaacs and his influence on law and business law, especially as it may relate to his early theories on connections between Jewish law and contemporary jurisprudence. More generally, the papers reflect the experiences of Jewish men and women living in the Midwest United States at the beginning of the 20th Century, and those of Boston before, during, and after World War II.Published citations should take the following form: Identification of item, date (if known); The Davis and Isaacs Family, Papers; P-936; box number; folder number; American Jewish Historical Society, Boston, MA and New York, NY.This collection is located at the American Jewish Historical Society located in Boston. For information on accessing collections at AJHS Boston please visit their website at: http://www.ajhsboston.org/index.htm.The Isaacs and the Davis families were both active members of the Jewish community in Cincinnati, Ohio dating back to the mid 19th century. The Davis family includes Charles K., who along with Leo Wise helped to found the Beersheba immigrant colony in Kansas in 1882. The Isaacs family included many well-known, religious, legal, and medical scholars. The two families were joined together on March 21, 1912 when Ella Davis, daughter of Charles K. Davis and Ida (Fletcher) Davis, married Nathan T. Isaacs, the eldest child of Abraham Isaacs and Rachel Rose (Friedman) Isaacs. Nathan went on to become a prominent legal scholar, and was a Professor of Business Law at the Harvard Business School from 1924 until his death in 1941.Finding Aid available in Reading Room and on Internet.MARC record sent to AJHS Boston April 5 2016

Obituary: Susan Isaacs
No full textIn this obituary for Susan Isaacs, Winnicott describes how Isaacs turned to the new insight offered by Freudian psychoanalysis as soon as this work became generally known in England. According to Winnicott, Isaacs gathered comprehensive data on children’s behaviour, thoughts, and feelings in her two books Intellectual Growth in Young Children (1930) and Social Development in Young Children (1933).</p

Re-examining Phonological and Lexical Correlates of Second Language Comprehensibility:The Role of Rater Experience

Deconstructing comprehensibility: identifying the linguistic influences on listeners' L2 comprehensibility ratings
No full textComprehensibility, a major concept in second language (L2) pronunciation research that denotes listeners’ perceptions of how easily they understand L2 speech, is central to interlocutors’ communicative success in real-world contexts. Although comprehensibility has been modeled in several L2 oral proficiency scales—for example, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS)—shortcomings of existing scales (e.g., vague descriptors) reflect limited empirical evidence as to which linguistic aspects influence listeners’ judgments of L2 comprehensibility at different ability levels. To address this gap, a mixed-methods approach was used in the present study to gain a deeper understanding of the linguistic aspects underlying listeners’ L2 comprehensibility ratings. First, speech samples of 40 native French learners of English were analyzed using 19 quantitative speech measures, including segmental, suprasegmental, fluency, lexical, grammatical, and discourse-level variables. These measures were then correlated with 60 native English listeners’ scalar judgments of the speakers’ comprehensibility. Next, three English as a second language (ESL) teachers provided introspective reports on the linguistic aspects of speech that they attended to when judging L2 comprehensibility. Following data triangulation, five speech measures were identified that clearly distinguished between L2 learners at different comprehensibility levels. Lexical richness and fluency measures differentiated between low-level learners; grammatical and discourse-level measures differentiated between high-level learners; and word stress errors discriminated between learners of all levels
Contingent Isaacs Equations of a Differential Game
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to characterize classical and lower semicontinuous solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs partial differential equations associated with a differential game and, in particular, characterize closed subsets the indicators of which are solutions to these equations. For doing so, the classical concept of derivative is replaced by contingent epi-derivative, which can apply to any function.
The use of indicator of subsets which are solutions of either one of the contingent Isaacs equation allows to characterize areas of the playability set in which some behavior (playability, winability, etc.) of the players can be achieved
