Introduction: The Globalization Agenda
No full textChapter 1 is an introduction by Roopinder Oberoi and Jamie P. Halsall that attempts to decode globalization, which still remains a problematic undertaking. Globalization is the culmination of interactive, co-evolutionary processes of multiple simultaneous technological, cultural, economic, social and environmental movements extending into every part of the imaginable spatio-temporal range. This chapter endeavours to put forth views on diverse strands of globalization. It is critcal to candidly identify with both the assent of and the departure from globalization, and currently each perspective highlights the elemental aspects of today’s global realty. It is equally true that global establishments have fallen severely short of achieving the global aspirations of all people/concerned parties. This is what the edited volume proposes and discusses in the chapter to understand the profound and unfolding events in the global arena - the coalescence of the unhindered and uncritical acceptance of an order to which there is no immediate recognized resolution
32-bit FORTH in a Web Server
No full textP(論文)今回のプロジェクトはwebサーバー上でFORTHを動かすことを目的とする。プロジェクトの内容は、まずLANに接続するWindowsマシーンの上でWebサーバーを立ち上げること、次に、このサーバー上で、cgiプログラムによってFORTHをとにかく動かすこと、最後に、FORTHを対話的に動かす仕組みを作り上げることである。プロジェクトは成功し、直接起動されたFORTHと同じく、webサーバー上のFORTHを対話的に動かすことができるようになった。32-bit FORTH in a DOS window, "forth32w.exe" and "forthex.exp", have been developed for several years by the author, "forth32w.exe" works in the DOS memory and executes such a task as the 1000-digit calculation of pi at high speed. The purpose of the present study is to make 32-bit FORTH that works in a Web server. First, modifying "forth32w.exe", we made "forth321.exe" that outputs html-tags when starting. Next, we made "forth32.cgi" that has the following perl's sentences : #!c:/usr/bin/perl $str=system("cmd/Cc:/forth/forth321.exe testhtml. blk"); exit; We can start "forth32.cgi" by inputting the following: http://localhost:80/forth32.cgi After starting, "forth321.exe" loads source from "testhtml.blk" and executes it. This "forth32. cgi" is very simple. But, to execute a different source, it is necessary to rewrite "testhtml.blk". To execute FORTH interactively, we have greatly renewed "forth32.cgi". The new "forth32.cgi" works as follows: (1) it opens a html-window that has a textarea and a "Run" button; (2) it waits for input of source (for instance, 1000 bnp-pi bnp.); (3) after source is input and the "Run" button is clicked, "forth32.cgi" outputs the source into the work file "testhtml.blk". Then, "forth321.exe" loads the source from "testhtml.blk" and executes it. (4) it prints the output of FORTH in a new window and waits for close of the window. (5) it goes to (2).departmental bulletin pape

An Efficient overloaded implementation of forward mode automatic differentiation in MATLAB
No full textThe Mad package described here facilitates the evaluation of first derivatives of multidimensional functions that are defined by computer codes written in MATLAB. The underlying algorithm is the well-known forward mode of automatic differentiation implemented via operator overloading on variables of the class fmad. The main distinguishing feature of this MATLAB implementation is the separation of the linear combination of derivative vectors into a separate derivative vector class derivvec. This allows for the straightforward performance optimization of the overall package. Additionally, by internally using a matrix (two-dimensional) representation of arbitrary dimension directional derivatives, we may utilize MATLAB's sparse matrix class to propagate sparse directional derivatives for MATLAB code which uses arbitrary dimension arrays. On several examples, the package is shown to be more efficient than Verma's ADMAT package [Verma 1998a].ACM Transactions on Mathematical Softwar
The diffractive practitioners: collaborative writing–thinking–doing with students, concepts and Walney Island (and aliens)
No full textIn this haecceity, my colleague, Jamie Mcphie, and I perform collaborative writing as inquiry to write–think–do environmental education as environing education. We present a dialogical exchange enacting diffractive practice, where the events of a day of environmental education with a group of postgraduate students on Walney Island, Cumbria UK, are passed back and forth between the authors to trouble stratified notions of environmental education practice. Through thinking with each other, our places of encounter, interactions with students, educational and philosophical concepts and Walney Island, we arrive at a kernel of something new: a becoming alien
The evolution of the Forth Bridge and its engineering significance
No full textThe Forth Bridge, arguably the greatest engineering achievement of the 19th century, carries Scotland's East Coast main railway over the Firth of Forth. This paper provides description and comment on the bridge, its evolution and significance in leading to the general adoption of steel for bridges, a brief update of 100 Years of the Forth Bridge (2) edited and co-authored by the Author, and an outline of Railtrack's ongoing £70m. repair and maintenance programme.</p
An implementation of the forth language on Heath H-89 microcomputer, 1981
No full textThe primary intent of this thesis is to discuss how to use the Forth language on the Heath H-89 microcomputer. Forth is a programming language with a small, but fast-growing, enthusiastic user community. Forth was invented by Mr. Charles H. Moore in 1973.Forth is a very compact language which only needs a small memory storage. It is also a threaded language which starts with a few fundamental subroutines written in machine languag
Realijų vertimas: patiekalų pavadinimai Jamie Oliver kulinarijos knygose.
No full textThe topic of the present paper is Translation of Realia: Names of Dishes in Jamie Oliver’s Cookbooks. This is not entirely new topic, as peculiarities of translation of realia have been analysed not only in overseas, but in the perspective of Lithuania as well. However, the translation of any cultural textual meanings is a complex subject matter. Times do not stand still, peoples’ needs, their understanding, and norms change, likewise, translation standards change as well, thus all of this, in turn, requires constant analysis to discover new observations regarding the prevalence of translation solutions in translating realia. The concept of realia is as ambiguous as the concept of culture of which realia, incidentally, is the product. Realia and culture are closely interrelated. The world consists of a variety of diverse cultures, each of which has its own realia, i.e. culture-specific names denoting extralinguistic phenomena and other cultural elements that have no equivalents, and, thus, no names for them in the TL. Names of dishes are considered as one of the types of realia. In recent years, owing to such eminent names as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, their books and TV shows have triggered a new interest in cultures and even more in their dishes. Therefore, the rendering of names of dishes as realia in the target language has become a common activity in the field of translation, and often brings forth a lot of problems for translators associated with the uncertainty of how to translate them which requires a certain amount of creativity and competence, let alone increasing the level of awareness of foreign culture and one’s own. All of the above signifies the relevance and importance of the topic not only to translators, but to the target readers as well. Thus, the main object of the paper is realia denoting names of dishes and their translation into Lithuanian. The aim of the practical part is to analyse the translation of realia in Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks. To achieve this, the following objectives were set: 1) to define and overview the concept of realia and its terminology, and to explore the problems of its rendering and classification, 2) to investigate theoretical background on realia translation strategies, and 3) to analyse the translation of realia in Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks and to identify translation strategies applied in the translation of realia. Having completed the research, it has been concluded that there is no unified term for naming realia, as different terminology is used simultaneously
Cognitively-motivated geometric methods of pattern discovery and models of similarity in music
No full textThis thesis is concerned with cognitively-motivated representations of musical structure. Three problems are addressed, each related in terms of their focus on music as an object of perception, and in the application of geometrical methods of knowledge representation.
The problem of pattern discovery in discrete representations of
polyphonic music is first considered, and a heuristic proposed which seeks to assist musicological analysis by identifying patterns that may be salient in perception, from a large number of potential patterns. This work is based on geometric principles that are far removed from plausible psychological models of pattern induction, but the method is motivated by psychological evidence for the importance of invariance and repetition in perception.
The second and third problems explicitly adopt a cognitive theory of representation, namely the conceptual space framework developed by Gärdenfors (2000). Within this framework, concepts can be represented geometrically within perceptually grounded quality dimensions, and where distance in the space corresponds to similarity. The second problem concerns the prediction of melodic similarity, and the theory of conceptual spaces is investigated in the novel context of point set representations of melodic structure, employing the Earth Mover's Distance metric (Rubner 2000). This work builds on the work of Typke (2007) concerning the application of Earth Mover's Distance to melodic similarity. Evaluation is performed with respect to published psychological data (Müllensiefen 2004), and the MIREX 2005 symbolic melodic similarity evaluation.
The third problem concerns the conceptual representation of metrical structure, informed by the psychological theory of metre developed by London (2004). A symbolic formalisation of this theory is developed, alongside two geometrical models of metrical-rhythmic structure, which are evaluated within a genre classification task
