Endorsement by Surgeon Henry Janes on the Communication from President H.L. Baugher Regarding Damages to the College Edifice, 7 October 1863
No full textOctober 7, 1863Baugher, Henry L.;In this one-page endorsement dated October 7, 1863, Dr. Henry Janes confirms that the College Edifice was used as a Confederate hospital during and after the battle but states that he has no direct knowledge of the amount of damage as it was mostly done before he became in charge of hospitals in the area.1p.Henry Janes, a U.S. volunteer surgeon who had served in the 3rd Vermont Infantry, was placed in command of all field hospitals around Gettysburg by Jonathan Letterman, medical director of the Army of the Potomac. Before he left with the army on July 6, Dr. Letterman ordered 106 surgeons to remain behind with the 20, 000 Union and Confederate wounded. Many of the wounded were soon moved to other hospitals or discharged from the service. Those who remained were collected into a tent hospital, known as Camp Letterman, located just east of the town along the York Road. Dr. Henry Janes was the medical director of that facility, and it was through him that claims for damages at all field hospitals in the Gettysburg area were forwarded to the Office of the Surgeon-General
What are museums for? - Revisiting “Museums in a Troubled World”
No full textFocusing on the present situation in the Nordic museum scene, entailing economic pressures and restructuring, this article introduces the thoughts and ideas of Canadian museum expert and author, Robert R. Janes, to put things in perspective. After revisiting the 2009 book “Museums in a Troubled World”, authored by Janes, a discussion between the authors is presented which focuses on the complexities of collaboration between museums and business. Finally a “hands on” section is included, in which different types of possible collaborations are examined. In this section, the topic of value creation is also addressed, as it is pointed out which measures might be necessary to rebuild a position of relevancy in society for the Nordic museums

The treatment of family life and relationships in the works of James Joyce from Dubliners to Ulysses
No full textPhDJoyce's treatment of family life and relationships reveals
both a continuing concern with many of the same themes and a
distinctive development from Dubliners to Ulysses. Throughout
the works he is concerned with such matters as the nature of
blood links, the tension between the needs of the individual
and the needs of the family, and the quality of human affection,
filial, parental, and sexual. While the early works, Dubliners,
Stephen Hero, and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,
present the family as a social institution of some importance,
Ulysses shows it to be associated with universal principles of
prime importance. Moreover, while the first three works present
a largely unfavourable and somewhat restricted view of family
life, Exiles and Ulysses develop extensively both the fundamental
value of family relationships and the complexities of
emotion and motive inherent in them.
The early concern with the limitations of family life
corresponds to similar concerns in contemporary writers whom
Joyce admired, Joyce's declared intentions in writing his own
works, and his somewhat unhappy experiences with his own family.
The shift to a more favourable and more complex view of family
life in the later works corresponds to his evident maturation
and to his increased recognition of the value of his own family
life. Thus Joyce's treatment of family life and relationships
is central to his development as man and artist.
While many critics have noted that the family is indeed
important in Joyce's works, none has examined the subject systematically
or treated many of the matters considered in this
thesis
Automated test-based learning and verification of performance models for microservices systems
No full textEffective and automated verification techniques able to provide assurances of performance and scalability are highly demanded in the context of microservices systems. In this paper, we introduce a methodology that applies specification-driven load testing to learn the behavior of the target microservices system under multiple deployment configurations. Testing is driven by realistic workload conditions sampled in production. The sampling produces a formal description of the users' behavior through a Discrete Time Markov Chain. This model drives multiple load testing sessions that query the system under test and feed a Bayesian inference process which incrementally refines the initial model to obtain a complete specification from run-time evidence as a Continuous Time Markov Chain. The complete specification is then used to conduct automated verification by using probabilistic model checking and to compute a configuration score that evaluates alternative deployment options. This paper introduces the methodology, its theoretical foundation, and the toolchain we developed to automate it. Our empirical evaluation shows its applicability, benefits, and costs on a representative microservices system benchmark. We show that the methodology detects performance issues, traces them back to system-level requirements, and, thanks to the configuration score, provides engineers with insights on deployment options. The comparison between our approach and a selected state-of-the-art baseline shows that we are able to reduce the cost up to 73% in terms of number of tests. The verification stage requires negligible execution time and memory consumption. We observed that the verification of 360 system-level requirements took ~1 minute by consuming at most 34 KB. The computation of the score involved the verification of ~7k (automatically generated) properties verified in ~72 seconds using at most ~50 KB. (C)& nbsp;2022 The Author(s).

Fast-Pitch Softball Players Use Biomechanical Compensations to Maintain Pitch Speed When Fatigued
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/31/2017
Fast-pitch softball pitchers are at increased risk for overuse injuries, possibly due to fatigue. This study measured kinematics, strength, fatigue, and pain over the course of a simulated game. Pitchers lost strength and reported fatigue, but they maintained pitch speed while altering their kinematics.
