    The ballads of <i>Tam Lin</i> and <i>Thomas the Rhymer</i>: transformations and transcriptions

    No full text
    Fantasy, in the shape of folk and fairy tale is the oldest and the first literary genre in Scotland, as in almost any society. (Manlove, 2003) Such stories would originally have been told orally. Two of these fairy tales appear in the fifteenth century border ballads of “Tam Lin” and “Thomas the Rhymer”, and seem unique to Scotland, not least because of their debt to native fairy lore. Novelistic retelling of such traditional material became more common in the twentieth century and this, arguably, could be considered the twentieth century’s unique contribution to the telling of traditional tales. This paper explores the question of why these particular ballads should exert such a strong appeal for modern children’s writers, and how such transformations and translations might be considered modern–day variations, upholding the ballad tradition. The exemplar texts include Liz Lochhead’s Tam Lin’s Lady as well as a selection of novels for young adults which use one or both of these ballads as their source material. The paper considers how the material in both its original and transformed aspects serves important cultural functions by initiating children into facets of a social heritage and by transmitting many of a culture’s central values and assumptions as well as a body of shared allusions and experiences, ensuring that ballads can still have a significant impact on today’s young readers

    Most courses in the Computer Science Bachelor at the Delft University of Technology make use of lab sessions. During these lab sessions students can ask questions about course material and get feedback on their assignment. Moreover, their knowledge about assignments can be orally tested. In order to properly help the students, teaching assistants, or TAs, are selected to assist the lecturer during the lab sessions. With the number of students in the Bachelor quickly growing, the process of manually recruiting students to become a TA and assigning the TAs to lab sessions is becoming very time consuming and almost impossible. During a Bachelor End Project in 2018 four students (van Deursen et al., 2018) created the Teach- ing Assistant Management (TAM) platform. This project aimed to ease the process of recruiting and scheduling TAs. All parties involved in the process of appointing TAs can use TAM to provide their input. Lecturers can register their courses on TAM and students are able to indicate their interest and availability to help with different courses. However, the first version of TAM missed a number of important features. For example, student avail- ability data had to be extracted manually and teachers still had to email their TA selection to the coordinator. This project aims to continue and improve TAM with these missing features. In order to achieve this goal TAM 2.0 has been developed. TAM 2.0 consists of three components: a MySQL database, a back end written using Spring and Java containing the business logic, and a front end website created using Vue to provide an interface to its users. TAM 2.0 also integrated LabraCORE. LabraCORE provides user and course information to several platforms and stores it conveniently in one central place.TAMComputer Science and Engineerin

    Low-cost on-chip clock jitter measurement scheme

    No full text
    In this paper, we present a low-cost, on-chip clock jitter digital measurement scheme for high performance microprocessors. It enables in situ jitter measurement during the test or debug phase. It provides very high measurement resolution and accuracy, despite the possible presence of power supply noise (representing a major source of clock jitter), at low area and power costs. The achieved resolution is scalable with technology node and can in principle be increased as much as desired, at low additional costs in terms of area overhead and power consumption. We show that, for the case of high performance microprocessors employing ring oscillators (ROs) to measure process parameter variations (PPVs), our jitter measurement scheme can be implemented by reusing part of such ROs, thus allowing to measure clock jitter with a very limited cost increase compared with PPV measurement only, and with no impact on parameter variation measurement resolution

    A Compression-Driven Test Access Mechanism Design Approach

    No full text
    Driven by the industrial need for low-cost test methodologies, the academic community and the industry alike have put forth a number of efficient test data compression (TDC) methods. In addition, the need for core-based System-on-a-Chip (SoC) test led to considerable research in test access mechanism (TAM) design. While most previous work has considered TAM design and TDC independently, this work analyzes the interrelations between the two, outlining that a minimum test time solution obtained using TAM design will not necessarily correspond to a minimum test time solution when compression is applied. This is due to the dependency of some TDC methods on test bus width and care bit density, both of which are related to test time, and hence to TAM design. Therefore, this paper illustrates the importance of considering the characteristics of the compression method when performing TAM design, and it also shows how an existing TAM design method can be enhanced toward a compression-driven solution

    AN OTTOMAN AUTHOR FROM KARS TO ISTANBUL: KARSLI-ZADE CEMÂLEDDIN MEHMED EFENDİCemaleddin Efendi, “Karsizade” diye bilinir. Süleymaniye müderrislerinden Karslı Hoca Mehmed Efendi‟nin oğludur. ilmiye sınıfında yetişmiş, medreselerde müderrislik yapmış olduğu. Süleymaniye Medresesi bunlardan biridir. Âlim bir kişiydi. Karsî-zade, Karsi-zâde ve Hocazade lakablarıyla anılmıştır. 1836‟da yaptıan Şehzade sünnet düğünleri dolayısıyla alanında ilk defa yazılan Türkçe dinî ve tıbbî kitabına “Me‟dübetü‟l-Hitan” (istanbul, 1252) adÝnÝ vermiĢtir. Sultan II. Mahmud‟a sunulan bu risale, aynı yılda Takvim-i Vekayi‟de basÝlmÝĢtÝr. Daha sonra kadılık mesleğine geçmiş;1837‟de Selânik kadısı olmuştur. Ancak 1839 tarihinde azledilerek istanbul‟a dönmüştür. Ardından Takvîm-i Vekāyi„ musahhihliğine getirilmiştir. 5 yıl boyunca (1840-1845) bu vazifede kalmıştır. Cemâleddin Efendi‟nin Ģöhreti, Takvîm-i Vekāyi„ musahhihliği sonrasında Sultan Abdülmecid‟in emriyle kaleme aldığı “Âyîne-i Zurefâ” (1843) adlı eserinden gelir. Kitabın önemi ise “bu alanda yazılmış ilk eser” olmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bursa kadılığın a tayin edilir ancak görev yerine gitmeden İstanbul'da (ö.1845) ölmüştür. Karslı Cemalettin Efendi‟nin tarihçiliği, eserinin Osmanlı Türkçesiyle birkaç defa yayınlanması ve günümüz alfabesine aktarılması yüzünden (2003) yeterince ele alınmıştır. Cemaleddin Efendi, Huzur Derslerine (1822-1837) de katılmıştır. „Huzur Dersleri‟yle ilgili bir makale yayÝnlanmÝĢtÝr. Ancak Osmanlıca baskıları sahaflarda gezen, mesela „Me‟dübetü‟l-Hitan‟ın tarihî, folklorik ve sosyolojik yönleri olduğundan; muhtevasının tanıtılmasına ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca “Fevaidü‟l-Veledeyn” isimli, “sarf-nahiv” konulu eser, “Karsîzade Muhammed Cemal‟e atfedilmektedir. Türkçe yazıldığı için önemli olan bu eser aslında Çörekçi-zade Ahmed Nüzhet Efendi‟ye aittir. Eserin başındaki takriz yazısından dolayı Karsîzade‟ye ait olduğu sanılmıştır. Bu yanlış bilgi, başkaları tarafından tekrarlanmayı sürdürmektedir. Doğrusunun belgeleriyle birlikte ortaya konulması gerekmektedir. Eserleri hayattayken basılan Cemaleddin Efendi‟nin el yazması bir tercümesi bulunmaktadır. Takvimi‟l-Vekaî'de musahhih olduğu yıllarda (1840-1845) kısmen kısaltarak tercüme ettiğini belirtmektedir. Fethü'l-Müte'al fî Medhi'n-Niâl adlÝ eser, el-Tilmisanî‟ye (ö.1632) aittir. Terceme-i Fethü'l-Müte'al fî Medhi'n-Niâl adlı yazma, Amasya Beyazıt İl Halk Kütüphanesi'nde bulunmaktadır. Yazma nüshasını da edindiğimiz bu eserin içeriğinin akademi dünyasına tanıtılmasında fayda görülmektedir.yo

    The Efficient TAM Design for Core-Based SOCs Testing

    No full text
    This paper presents a framework and an efficient method to determine SOC test schedules. We increase the test TAM widths by the framework. Our method deals with the traditional scan chains and reconfigurable multiple scan chains. Experimental results for ITC’02 SOC TEST Benchmarks show that we obtain better test application time when compared to previously published algorithms. Test access mechanism (TAM) and test schedule for System-On-chip (SOC) are challenging problems. Test schedule must be effective to minimize testing time, under the constraint of test resources. This paper presents a core section method based on generalized 2-D rectangle packing. A core cuts into many pieces and utilizes the design of reconfigurable core wrappers, and is dynamic to change the width of the TAM executing the core test. Therefore, a core can utilize different TAM width to complete test.EI國外紙本GR

    Tam Ngo oral history interview

    No full text
    Tam Ngo, born in Saigon, Vietnam in 1996, immigrated to the United States at a young age. Growing up, her mother worked a lot, so she spent a lot of time with her father, who bought and sold used video games. Her childhood was also scattered with unique experiences pertaining to her Vietnamese background/household; her parents were not great at English, so she frequently was a “translator” or “secretary.” Partially due to parents and partially due to peer/self motivation, Tam was extremely studious in school. She attended the Michael E. DeBakey High School for Health Professions, a place which she describes as having a lot of “smart Asians” and a place where she devoted her time and energy to making A’s and enduring the competitive environment. She eventually ended up getting a full ride to Soka University, where she spent 4 undergraduate years making meaningful connections and developing emotionally. After graduating, she ended up back in Houston due to financial reasons and her family situation. She is currently a part-time art teacher and a freelance artist who focuses on drawing, and her primary artistic areas of interest include Vietnamese art and anime
