The elegies of Ted Hughes
No full textThe purpose of this study is to make the case that Ted Hughes (1930-1998) is one of the pre-eminent elegists writing in English in the latter half of the twentieth century. Whilst his poetry has been widely criticised for its apparent preoccupation with violence and death, it is puzzling that the links these topics have in common with elegy have never been clearly verified. This might be because Hughes's elegies do not appear to bear the characteristics frequently associated with traditional poetic laments; however, as this study shows, closer scrutiny reveals not only many similarities, but also acts of resistance within the broader scope of elegy. Drawing on both established and contemporary critical debates surrounding Hughes and elegy, this study undertakes a comprehensive reading of the poet's major works from The Hawk in the Rain to Birthday Letters, whilst also paying attention to limited editions of his verse, including Recklings, Capriccio and Howls & Whispers. Posthumous publications, including the Collected Poems. Selected Translations and Letters of Ted Hughes, are accounted for. so that (alongside the chronological reading of the poems) Hughes's development as an elegist is fully realised. One of the aims of the thesis is to demonstrate that the poet's elegies are unified in presenting what I term the ‘actual'; that is to say, that Hughes does not fabricate sensations or forge experiences that purport to be beyond the realm of recognisable human endeavour. This I term his 'unfalsifying dream’. This is striking because quite often traditional elegies appear to present the opposite: a language which is ๐mate and images which are close to beatifying the deceased, putting them at a remove from human experience and existence. 'The Hawk in the Rain' is used to illustrate Hughes's theoretical position, especially in the case of his earlier war elegies and the circumstances of Remains of Elmet and Moortown Diary. He is both the observational, seemingly dispassionate poet (the hawk), capable of a detaching himself from the experience he wishes to relay in his verse, and yet, he is also the wanderer 'in the rain, one who is immersed in the momentous instant of his own language and experience. Like his personas, Hughes is divided. He is complicit with many of elegy's practices and traditions, but he is also a reformer and renovator of elegy, writing invigorating verse which brings the realities of mortality closer to the reader. In doing so, he reaffirms the significance of life and how this life might be better lived in closer harmony to poetry and contemporary ecological urgencies. 'The Elegies of Ted Hughes' aims to prove that far from being just a 'poet of nature', Hughes has been an exemplary elegist in our own time

Reusable components and object-oriented representation in O.S.U.
No full textLetter re: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
No full textLetter from Ted Lewis to Amon Carter regarding special editions of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram to be forwarded overseas.10/30/49 Dear Mr. Carter - The special editions to be forwarded overseas got a quick transfer at La Guardia and left on A.O.A. trip 152 of the 30th at 2:30 PM to arrive London 10:55 PM, London time, on Monday the 31st. Incidentally you and I and Elliott Roosevelt spent Oct 31st, 1942 in London and we had dinner with you at the Savoy. The eiditions for C.R. and Mr. Billingsley have been fowarded downtown. Thanks very much for my own private copy. Its amazing from any angle of its 480 pages and is right in the traidition of how you and Ft Worth handle things. Sincerely, Ted Lewi

OSU : a high speed software development environment
No full textSeveral problems with user interface design and implementation have been identified: (1) user interfaces are difficult and time-consuming to design and implement; (2) most user interface management systems (UIMS) are themselves difficult to use by a programmer; (3) UIMS's have not been integrated with other tools that support structured design, coding and maintenance, thus failing to maximize programmer productivity.
In the Oregon Speedcode Universe (O.S.U.) project, we had taken the following approaches: (1) direct manipulation programming technique is used to address the problems with user interface design and implementation; (2) integration of UIMS with CASE tools; and (3) high-level program generation from scripts, and reusable components.
This report surveys some of the existing UIMS's and describes O.S.U., a high-speed software development system. The main emphasis of this work is the design and implementation of Structure Chart Editor in O.S.U.. The Structure Chart Editor has three unique features: 1) combination of functional decomposition with object-oriented design, 2) alternate architectural views, e.g. call graph, uses graph, object graph, and graphical display of procedures, 3) merging the user interface specification with design and coding specifications.
Experimental results suggest that the techniques employed by OSU can be used to develop 50-90% of an application without explicit programming yielding 2-10 fold productivity improvements

Design and implementation of a HELM user interface
No full textThis research paper is limited to the User Interface of the modeling language of HELM (Hierarchical Environment for Linear Modeling). In attempt to better describe the user interface for HELM, some examples and portions of Carol Brown's report are included for ease of reading and a brief overview of the HELM system (Detailed description of HELM system can be found in Carol Brown's report "HELM: Hierarchical Environment for Linear Modeling," PHD Thesis, Computer Science Department, Oregon State University, June 1989)
