Notes on Peter Karpovich for admission to Springfield College, c. 1925
No full textThese are notes on Peter V. Karpovich that were created, mostly likely, as part of his admissions process to Springfield College, c. 1925. The author or writer of these pages is not identified. Nor is it identified as to how, whether in a meeting or an interview or just from reading information, these notes were created. The notes are written in abreviations and in short fragments. The notes basically outline facts about his life, including age, family, education history, medical practice, present living arrangements, experience with the Young Men's Christian Associaation (YMCA), and experience in teaching Physical Education. Finally they also talk about his arrival in the United States, his desires for work/education at Springfield College., and his prospects of returning to Russia after his degree.For more information on Peter V.

From Floor to Sky -The Experience of Art School and the teaching of Peter Kardia
No full textImages of my work with text is included in a section of this colour hardback format book with introduction by Roderick Coyne and essays by Peter Kardia , Malcolm Le Grice , Hester Westley and sections on 25 artists.
Peter Kardia is widely recognised as a radical and influential teacher at both Saint Martins and the Royal College during the 60s and 70s. From the long list of Peter Kardia's ex-students 25 well-known artists have been invited to participate in an exhibition at the P3 gallery (www.p3exhibitions.com) in March 2010, as a sort of potted retrospective of both their work and Peter's teaching.
They are asked to show a piece of work from their student or graduation days, as well as a current piece, collectively providing a body of work that will show the range of British sculpture from the last 30 years.
The book acts as a catalogue for the exhibition, but is also intended to work as a stand-alone production and extends a little further to include approx. 4 images per artist, including one from both degree show and current times.
About the Author(s) Peter Kardia is widely recognised as a radical and influential teacher at both Saint Martins and the Royal College during the 60s and 70s, and his essay on how we should be approaching art and education is central to the book. Hester Wesley has researched and written on Peter's influence on art education and his teaching at Saint Martins and the Royal College, placing it into wider context of art education generally. The last essay is by Malcolm Le Grice (art historian) on the influence of the art teacher and art schools in history on the artist
Distributional Reinforcement Learning for Flight Control: A risk-sensitive approach to aircraft attitude control using Distributional RL
No full textWith the recent increase in the complexity of aerospace systems and autonomous operations, there is a need for an increased level of adaptability and model-free controller synthesis. Such operations require the controller to maintain safety and performance without human intervention in non-static environments with partial observability and uncertainty. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms have the potential to increase the safety and autonomy of aerospace control systems. It has been shown that the soft actor-critic (SAC) algorithm can achieve robust control of a CS-25 certified aircraft and has the generalization power to react to failure scenarios. Traditional DRL approaches, such as the state-of-the-art SAC algorithm struggle with inconsistent learning in high-dimensional tasks and fall short of modelling uncertainty and risk in the environment. In contrast, distributional RL algorithms estimate the entire probability distribution of rewards, improve the learning characteristics and enable the synthesis of risk- sensitive policies. This paper demonstrates the improved learning characteristics of distributional soft actor-critic (DSAC) compared to traditional SAC and discusses the benefits of risk-sensitive learning applied to flight control. We show that the addition of distributional critics significantly improves learning consistency, and successfully approximates the uncertainty when applied to a fully-coupled attitude control task of a jet aircraft.Public code repository https://github.com/peter-seres/dsac-flightAerospace Engineerin
Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ
Factors Affecting Herbicide Use in Fruits and Vegetables
No full textProper herbicide application is critical for fruit and vegetable growers to effectively manage weeds. Improper herbicide application may lead to herbicide loss from the targeted area, increased crop injury, and reduced weed control. Growers need to take into account a number of factors before and during application in any crop to ensure the herbicide is effective. Herbicide efficacy is greatly affected by timing and environmental conditions. Although complete weed control is not always possible, even slight reductions in weed populations can greatly enhance productivity in fruit and vegetable crops. This 4-page fact sheet reviews techniques and processes to help growers properly apply herbicides. Understanding the processes and applying the following techniques will help to increase the overall efficacy of herbicides in fruit and vegetable production. Written by C. E. Rouse and P. J. Dittmar, and published by the UF Department of Horticultural Sciences, May 2013.

Etymology Named for Prof. Peter Girguis, Chief Scientist of the R/V Falkor ‘Backyard Deep’ cruise FK181005, during which most of the paratypes were collected. The type locality off Los Angeles matches Prof. Girguis’ ‘Angeleno’ origins. The presence of filamentous bacteria resonates with Prof. Girguis’ research in deep-sea microbiology, and the tripoint carapace marking resembles the ABISS autonomous lander deployed by the Girguis lab on this cruise. We honor Prof. Girguis’ enthusiasm for collecting these animals and his kind, inclusive leadership as Chief Scientist.

Distribution California and Costa Rica from 381- to 845-m depth. Genetic data COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA. Remarks This new species appears to be covered by filamentous bacteria on the carapace, abdomen and chelipeds when alive but these bacteria were missing after fixation. Other squat lobster species living in hydrothermal vents and cold seeps exhibit this kind of epibiotic bacteria (e.g. Goffredi et al. 2008). Munidopsis girguisi sp. nov. resembles Munidopsis denudata Macpherson, 2007 from the Solomon Islands and M. inermis Faxon, 1893 from Panama. However, the new species is easily distinguished from these species by the following characters: • The new species has deep furrows on the dorsal surface of the carapace and rugae on the pterygostomian flap, whereas these surfaces are smooth in M. denudata and in M. inermis. • The frontal margin of the carapace is unarmed in M. denudata and M. inermis whereas this is armed with a minute antennal spine in the new species. • The anterolateral angle is unarmed in M. denudata and M. inermis whereas this angle is armed with a small spine in the new species. • The new species has an acute triangular rostrum whereas M. denudata has a broadly triangular rostrum. • The flexor margin of the Mxp3 is armed with one strong proximal spine and one small distal spine in M. denudata whereas this margin is armed with two proximal spines in the new species. • P1–4 have spines in the new species, whereas these are unarmed in M. denudata and M. inermis. • The dactyli flexor margin is unamred in Munidopsis inermis whereas this margin is armed with minute spines in the new species.Published as part of Rodríguez-Flores, Paula C., Seid, Charlotte A., Rouse, Greg W. & Giribet, Gonzalo, 2023, Cosmopolitan abyssal lineages?
