An Agent-Based Spatially Explicit Epidemiological Model in MASON
Get PDFThis paper outlines the design and implementation of an agent-based epidemiological simulation system. The system was implemented in the MASON toolkit, a set of Java-based agent-simulation libraries. This epidemiological simulation system is robust and extensible for multiple applications, including classroom demonstrations of many types of epidemics and detailed numerical experimentation on a particular disease. The application has been made available as an applet on the MASON web site, and as source code on the author\'s web site.Epidemiology, Social Networks, Agent-Based Simulation, MASON Toolkit
Perry Mason: the case of the legendary lawyer
No full textPerry Mason est le héros d'une série de romans écrits par Erle Stanley Gardner dans les années cinquante. Ce personnage a donné lieu à de très nombreuses références intertextuelles dans tous les arts narratifs, témoignant de sa place centrale dans la culture populaire qui s'étend au-delà des frontières américaines. Nous proposons de montrer que les différentes allusions permettent de revisiter la fiction judicaire en tant que genre parfois pour déconstruire son caractère manichéen alors que dans d'autres cas, c'est pour rendre hommage à ce personnage au statut mythique. Nous analysons, dans un second temps, l'influence de Perry Mason dans le monde judiciaire, rendant les frontières entre fiction et réalité perméables. Enfin, nous montrons comment les acteurs et les avocats suscitent les mêmes réactions auprès du public en raison de techniques oratoires similaires
A Content Analysis of Mexican and Mexican American Representation in "Perry Mason" (2020)
Get PDFThis thesis uses content analysis to observe Mexican and Mexican American representation in the cable/streaming program Perry Mason (2020). This thesis posed three questions: (1) How do contemporary representations of the 1930's depict Mexican and Mexican Americans in the streaming series, Perry Mason? (2) How are Mexican and Mexican Americans portrayed in the series? (3) What Mexican and Mexican American historical markers are present in the landscape of Perry Mason? The observations from this study found that the reboot of Perry Mason (2020) had Mexican and Mexican American characters while the original series did not. Furthermore, the percentage of Mexicans and Mexican Americans found in the reboot exceeded the percentage of Mexican and Mexican Americans living in Los Angeles County during the 1930's, per the census (U.S Census Bureau, 1932). The data from this study also suggests that Mexican and Mexican American characters are portrayed positively, but not accurately in regard to the occupations they held during this time frame. Lastly, three historical markers that would have impacted the Mexican and Mexican American experience during this time frame were used to analyze the show: (1) the Alien Labor Act, (2) repatriation/deportation incidents, and (3) Mexicans and Mexican American's involvement with the U.S. military. This study only found one of these historical events documented in the series: Mexicans and Mexican American involvement with the U.S. military

Perry Mason, créateur de discours et de FASP : un regard rétrospectif à l’occasion de son 90e anniversaire
Get PDFCet article est une analyse du phénomène culturel Perry Mason, créé par l’avocat/auteur Erle Stanley Gardner en 1933, et qui fit l’objet d’un reboot télévisé en 2020. L’étude, qui s’inscrit dans la dimension culturelle de la recherche en anglais de spécialité, porte sur les références intertextuelles à Perry Mason qui servent à explorer les normes qui régissent la caractérisation de ce héros. Nous proposons de montrer que les différentes réécritures permettent de revisiter le formula show en tant que genre parfois pour rendre hommage à ce personnage au statut mythique parfois pour déconstruire son caractère manichéen. Dans un second temps, nous analysons, l’influence du personnage fictif sur la communauté professionnelle des juristes. Enfin, nous montrons que cette FASP mythique a participé à la création de terminologie spécialisée qui rend les frontières entre fiction et réalité perméables.This article is an analysis of the cultural phenomenon Perry Mason, created by lawyer/author Erle Stanley Gardner in 1933, and which was the subject of a television reboot in 2020. The study, which tackles the cultural dimension in the field of English for specific purposes, focuses on intertextual references to Perry Mason that serve to explore the norms governing the characterisation of this hero. We show that the various rewritings make it possible to revisit the formula show as a genre, sometimes to pay homage to this character with mythical status, sometimes to deconstruct its manichean personality. Secondly, we analyse the inspirational properties of this fictional character for the legal community. Finally, we show that this mythical FASP has contributed to the creation of specialised terminology that blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality

The Symbiotic Field 1: Natural/Artificial Mergings in Design Cases
No full textThe ‘symbiotic field’ is the space in which natural and artificial systems intersect, producing the multilayer construct of the landscape where we live. This book organizes a compared anatomy of design cases by François Roche, Camille Lacadée, new-territories, Antonino Di Raimo, Kongjian Yu, Turenscape, Perry Kulper, José Luis Vallejo, Ecosistema Urbano, Besnik Aliaj, Mason White, Lateral Office, Alessandro Scandurra, SSA, accompanied by unpublished essays from the authors. Through macro-ecologies of territorial scale and micro-ecologies within the city space, this group of internationally renowned contributors cross the body of their work tracing a bundle of feebler or bolder paths in the novel geography of the expanded field of landscape. The resulting multi-perspectival observation, combining aggregates of artificial and living systems, psychological and physical spaces, and machinic and cultural landscapes, is mounted into an alternative landscape construct of both ‘metabolist’ and ‘territorialist’ characters. This book composes a momentary photograph of our present relationship to nature
