Thankfully yours, Lisa Leist Seiden : 1929-1946.
No full textThe memoirs were written in 1996 at Lisa Seiden's home. The main time covered is her childhood in Vienna and her stay in Bath, England, during the war. Lisa Seiden describes daily life for a child in Vienna--the type of dolls she had, activities on a cold winter day, vaccations on the countryside. In 1938, she was not allowed to go to school anymore. She remembers many details during that time of horros--the anxious expressions in her parents' faces, the constant fear they had while being in the apartment. One day, the Gestapo was looking for her father, Friedrich Leist, but he was warned and did not return home. He had a hise-out and Lisa brought him food. It did not help--a few days later, he was sent to Dachau concentration camp. On December 17, 1938, Lisa and her brother Peter were sent via Kindertransport to England. Since their parents did not get visas for England, they emigrated to Argentine where an uncle lived. Lisa Seiden writes about her time in Englad, her foster parents, schooling, and air raids. In May of 1946, a ship takes Lisa and Peter to their parents in Buenos Aires, Argentine. The memoir includes copies of photographs showing family members, herself, her doll's house, and vaccation trips etc. There also many letters included, as well as bits of Lisa Seiden's brother's (Peter Leist) dairy.digitizedLisa Seiden, nee Leist, was born in 1929 in Vienna, Austria. She lived with her parents and her brother Peter in an apartment building in the Viennese suburbs. Her family was assimilated and well established. Her mother loved music. Her father came from a poor family, but became a chemical engineer in Vienna. He had fought in World War 1, and after the Anschluss, he was sent to Dachau concentration camp. Lisa and her brother were sent to England on a Kindertransport on December 17, 1938. Her parents could escape the following summer to Argentine where an uncle had arranged to get visas. In 1946, the family was re-united in Buenos Aires
Escape to Shanghai, China, 1939-1949.
No full textThis memoir was written for educational purposes, particularly for its use in schools (7th and 8th grade), which is reflected in the style it was written. It also includes a map showing his emigration route from Vienna to Shanghai, a photograph, and many resources for teachers. It was originally published in the State of New Jersey Holocaust/Genocide Curriculum in 2002. The memoir starts with the family’s departure from Vienna, on January 23, 1939. It later on describes daily life in Shanghai and the later Jewish ghetto. The memoir ends with the Seiden family’s departure to Israel on January 1, 1949.Norbert Seiden, 09/01/2004Norbert Seiden was born on 01/22//1932 in Vienna where he lived at Rembrandtstrasse in the 2nd district. After the Nazis’ rise to power, Mr. Seiden fled on 01/23/1939 to Shanghai, China. He was interned in the Shanghai Ghetto, from May 1943 until August 1945. Throughout his stay, he attended the Shanghai Jewish Youth Association (SJYA) School. In 1948, he went to Israel for a year, and then came back to Austria where he stayed until 1951. Finally he came to the USA on 07/11/1951 where he was educated at the Newark College of Engineering. He now lives in Livingston, NJ.Austrian Heritage CollectionRighteous Gentiles in the HolocaustShanghai ghett
Barely Random Algorithms for Multiprocessor Scheduling
No full textWe present randomized online algorithms for scheduling on m = 3; : : : ; 7 machines. For two machines, a randomized algorithm achieving a competitive ratio of 4 3 was found by Bartal, Fiat, Karloff and Vohra [3]. These same authors show a matching lower bound. Seiden has presented a randomized algorithm which achieves competitive ratios of 1.55665, 1.65888, 1.73376, 1.78295 and 1.81681, for m = 3; 4; 5; 6; 7 respectively [11, 12]. A barely random algorithm is one which a distribution over a constant number of deterministic strategies. Neither of the algorithms of Bartal et al. or Seiden are barely random. In fact, both of these algorithms potentially make a random choice for each job scheduled. Further, both algorithms use\Omega\Gamma nm) variables, and use a total of \Omega\Gamma n 2 log m) time, where n is the length of the job sequence. Ben-David, Dichterman, Noga and Seiden have recently shown how to modify the two machine algorithm of Bartal et al. so that it is barely rando..
Some results on construction of orthogonal Latin squares by the method of sum composition
No full textAbstractA method of sum composition for construction of orthogona Latin squares was introduced by A. Hedayat and E. Seiden [1]. In this paper we exhibit procedures for constructing a pair of orthogonal Latin squares of size pα + 4 for primes of the form 4m + 1 or p ≡ 1, 2, 4 mod 7. We also show that for any p > 2n and n even one can construct and orthogonal pair of Latin squares of size pα + n using the method of sum composition. We observe that the restriction xy = 1 used by Hedayat and Seiden is sometimes necessary
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
