Remy Müller Photo album
No full textRemy Muller (1894-1978) was a World War I Army Veteran and employee at the John Wanamaker Store (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States). In 1931, he was accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), where he specialized in campanology. As part of the curriculum at the Curtis Institute, he studied carillon with Anton Brees at Bok Tower Gardens (Lake Wales, Florida, United States).
Muller compiled this photograph album detailing his time in Florida. Copies of a few of the photos can also be seen in Muller's scrapbook, along with postcards and letters to his wife and son (see ARMC000001).
The album is in fair condition. The front cover is almost completely split in 2, along the fold. Many of the page edges are torn, bent, or broken and many of the photographs show evidence of fading or discoloration. The first 5 pages have been removed from the album binding and stapled together. In this front section, the photographs have been pasted directly to the pages and are the only photographs which have captions. The later photos are attached by means of photo corners and are unidentified - except for 1 photograph which shows the location of what is now Pinewood Estate. This photo was identified at a later date (1990s?) by Bok Tower Gardens staff

On the dangers of decentralization
Full text linkThe author highlights some of the dangers of decentralizations. The benefits of decentralization in allocative efficiency are not as obvious as suggested by the standard theory of fiscal federalism. The assumptions of this theory are fragile. These doubtful benefits might carry a cost in production efficiency, but more empirical research is needed on this point. What is not doubtful is that decentralization runs counter to redistribution and stabilization. Decentralization makes redistributive policies, whether interpersonal or interjurisdictional, more difficult, if not impossible. Decentralization also makes macroeconomic stabilization programs more difficult to implement because subnational government fiscal policies can run counter to national policies. Serious drawbacks or potential drawbacks should be considered in designing any decentralization program. The arguments that the author develops make it easier to understand some of the real choices. These choices are not so much whether to decentralize in general but rather what functions to decentralize - in which sectors, and in which regions. Guidelines can be provided on this. Often, the problem is not so much whether a certain service should be provided by a central, regional, or local government, since the service often has to be provided with the intervention of all three levels of government. The real challenge is how to organize the joint production of the service. Decentralization refers simultaneously to a state and to a process. The virtues and dangers of decentralization are often discussed simultaneously for both concepts. This is a dangerous confusion because decentralization is path-dependent. What is desirable in a given country at a certain point in time depends on the present state of decentralization and the speed at which it has been reached. Much more work, particularly empirical work, is needed -- in review of decentralization (or centralization) experiences in general, as well as those encouraged or supported by the World Bank.National Governance,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,Economic Theory&Research,Pharmaceuticals&Pharmacoeconomics
Afrauropus occiduus Remy 1959
No full textAfrauropus occiduus Remy, 1959 TYPE MATERIAL. — Holotype by monotypy, “ Mâle 9pp. Mts Nimba (Lamotte)” (PMLA002). According to Remy’s description the collecting data are: “Camp du Gouan, forêt 1200 m, 25 mars, 1957”. REMARKS Remy (1959) erected a new genus, Afrauropus, and a new family, Afrauropidae, for this specimen because he found the following features not seen in other pauropods: the antennal globulus had two pyriform organs inside the basket of bracts; the empodia of the tarsi were stalked, and as far as can be seen in Remy’s drawing (1959: fig. 6, 4) he could not find any claws; head with only one single seta (between and posterior of the antennal bases) and tergites without other setae than the bothriotricha. In some characters the specimen was more alike pauropods already described, e.g., as to antennal stalk, pygidial chaetotaxy, leg segmentation and occurrence of bothriotricha. The renewed study revealed the following observations deviating from or complimentary to Remy’s description: 1) head. There are at least two more tergal setae than Remy found (Fig. 1A), both short, striate, blunt and inserted between and close to the antennal bases but more anteriorly than the seta observed by Remy.There might be a seta behind the temporal organs too. No insertion areas of other setae could be seen; 2) antennae. Remy found that the globulus of the sternal antennal branch had two pyriform capsules inside the basket of bracts. As far as the author could see Remy had made a mistake in interpreting the space on both sides of the capsule which both were somewhat pyriform (Fig. 1B). In fact the capsule is attached to an unusually long stalk dividing the space inside the bracts in two “pyriform” empty spaces. The globulus of the sternal antennal branch is proportionately large and has inside the basket of bracts a long-stalked and small capsule; 3) legs. Remy found that the empodia were stalked, a character which was unique for Afrauropus when it was described. Stalked empodia have later been found in other species (in Allopauropus Silvestri, 1902 and Cauvetauropus Remy, 1952). As far as can be seen from Remy’s drawing the empodia of leg 4 have no claws, but they are there (Fig. 1 C-E). Legs 1 and 9 are 5-segmented, those interposed are 6-segmented, with metatarsus. The latter is short, ring-shaped (Fig. 1F), a character also found in other species (in Allopauropus Silvestri, 1902 and Cauvetauropus Remy, 1952). The new observations require a suppression of the family Afrauropidae Remy, 1959 (Remy 1959: 1020) and a transfer of the genus to Pauropodidae Lubbock, 1867. The original diagnosis of the genus is amended consequently.Published as part of Scheller, Ulf, 2008, On Afrauropus and Monodauropus, two African genera of Pauropoda (Myriapoda), pp. 795-798 in Zoosystema 30 (4) on pages 796-797, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.468999
KAJIAN STRUKTURALISME GENETIK NOVEL PEREMPUAN BERNAMA ARJUNA KARYA REMY SYLADO
No full textLiterary works can be analyzed in various ways. One theory used in literary analysis is the theory of Genetic Structuralism. The theory was used to analyze the character of Arjuna and Jean-Claude van Damme and his relationship with Remy Sylado as the author of the novel Perempuan Bernama Arjuna 1-6 (the title analyzed is PBA 1-5). This research is descriptive qualitative research. The results showed that Arjuna (who is female) and Jean-Claude van Damme represent Remy Sylado as a writer in the form of characterization, the existence of Remy Sylado's nuance of identity in this PBA novel, and social, political, economic, cultural and socio-cultural issues which Remy Sylado delivered through a PBA novel that actually represents her view of the real world
Summability of the Formal Power Series Solutions of a Certain Class of Inhomogeneous Partial Differential Equations with a Polynomial Semilinearity and Variable Coefficients
No full textInternational audienceIn this article, we investigate the summability of the formal power series solutions in time of a certain class of inhomogeneous partial differential equations with a polynomial semilinearity, and with variable coefficients. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the k-summability of the solutions in a given direction, where k is a positive rational number entirely determined by the linear part of the equation. These conditions generalize the ones given by the author for the linear case (Remy in J Dyn Control Syst 22(4):693–711, 2016; J Dyn Control Syst 23(4):853–878, 2017) and for the semilinear heat equation (Remy in J Math Anal Appl 494(2):124619, 2021). In addition, we present some technical results on the generalized binomial and multinomial coefficients, which are needed for the proof our main theorem

Dynamic feedback generation in virtual patients using semantic web technologies
No full textVirtual patients are interactive tools commonly used by medical schools for teaching and learning, and as training tools for the development of clinical reasoning. The feedback delivered to students is a crucial feature in virtual patients. Personalised feedback, in particular, helps students to reflect on their mistakes and to organise their knowledge in order to use it appropriately in a clinical context. However, authoring personalised feedback in virtual patient systems can become a difficult task, due to the large number of choices available to students and the complex implications of each choice. Additionally, the current technologies used for the design and exchange of virtual patients have limitations in terms of interoperability and data reusability.Semantic web technologies are designed to model complex knowledge in a flexible manner, allowing easy data sharing from multiple sources and automatic data processing. This thesis demonstrates the benefits of Semantic Web technologies for the design of virtual patients, in particular for the automatic generation of personalised feedback.Seven important types of personalised feedback were identified from the literature, and a preliminary survey showed that students in year 3 to 5 consider two of these types of feedback to be particularly useful: feedback indicating actions that each student should have chosen but neglected, and feedback indicating the diagnoses that each student should have tested and rule out or confirmed, given the initial presentation of the patient. SemVP, a Semantic Web-based virtual patient system, was created and evaluated by medical students, using a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews. This study showed that SemVP can generate useful personalised feedback, without the need for a virtual case author to write feedback manually, using a semantic model representing both the virtual patient and each student's actions, and leveraging existing data sources available online
Remy Charlip: Histoire de performance dans l’album pour enfants
No full textInternational audienceThis paper explores how dancer and choreographer Remy Charlip used his dance performances as an inspiration to illustrate children’s picture books. Working along with John Cage and Merce Cunningham, he was involved in various artistic fields. He was a dancer, both an author and an illustrator of picture books, as well as a costume designer. His picture books were deeply influenced by dance and his choreographic process was stimulated by his design practices. His performances on stage were important sources of inspiration for his visual storytelling for children. Books were also used as “visual scores” to enhance his dance creations. In his artistic practice, both dance and picture books are attempts to translate a child’s energy and an exploration of spatial and graphic possibilities.Cet article vise à explorer comment le danseur et chorégraphe Remy Charlip a utilisé son expérience de la performance comme source d’inspiration pour illustrer ses albums pour enfants. Ayant collaboré avec John Cage et Merce Cunningham, il s’est investi dans multiples domaines artistiques que ce soit la dance, l’écriture et l’illustration de livres ainsi que la création de costumes. La danse et son écriture chorégraphique ont eu une telle influence sur ses albums que certains sont comparables à des “partitions visuelles”. La danse et les albums ont constitué des tentatives pour traduire l’énergie enfantine tout comme ils ont révélé des explorations graphiques dans le monde de cet artiste total
Remy de Gourmont e il dibattito sulla traduzione in Francia tra la fine dell'Ottocento e l'inizio del Novecento
No full textIn his extensive critical production, Remy de Gourmont (1858-1915) gives great prominence to foreign literatures, «ces souffles venus du dehors» without which French literature would not exist, as the author writes in his article Les traducteurs included in the fifth series of Promenades littéraires (1913). His approach, which could be defined “transcultural” ante-litteram, is characterized by an extremely modern and contemporary perspective, based on the ideas of dialogue and cultural exchange. Along these lines, the author praises translators for their work, and gives them the credit which his contemporaries were often denying
