    The Didactic Impact of the ETN FETCH Project

    No full text
    The ETN FETCH project is about Future Education and Training. One of the goals was to develop new didactic models and to include social media in the process of teaching and learning. Some new didactic models have been developed. We will report about them in this paper. FETCH partners also performed some experiments using innovative teaching models as Flip the classroom and MOOCs. The results are reported at e-Learning conferences. In this paper we will discuss the to be expected impact of the innovative didactic research of the FETCH project in future Lifelong Learning. We describe some real life events underlying the same didactical principles, showing the societal relevance and impact of our developed modelsInteractive Intelligenc

    William McClelland to Thomas Rotch, Tallmadge, April 2nd 1822

    No full text
    William McClelland informs Thomas Rotch that a businessman will be coming with McClelland's son, William to fetch sheep from Rotch. McClelland inquires whether Rotch is willing to sell more sheep and mentions men who would take them. He also discusses cloth, oil, and steel. There are any number of hard working men who would work for Rotch if Rotch had need of their services. 7.75" x 9.75" (19.8cm by 24.7cm

    Anna Parker informs Thomas Rotch that many of his lent-out sheep and her own have died. Parker speculates that the disease known as 'the rott' comes from organisms in the ground. She requests that Rotch fetch his remaining sheep. 7.1" x 7.75" (18.1 by 19.6cm

    Fetch-limited wind wave generation on the continental shelf

    No full text
    The growth of wind waves in coastal areas is limited by the fetch. Understanding this sheltering effect of the coastline on the nearshore wave climate is of critical importance for Navy operations (e.g. amphibious assault and mine countermeasures) in shallow water. Whilst the effect of fetch limitation on the development of the wave field is well understood, the effects of bottom topography, the presence of swell and its interaction with wind waves, the angle of the wind relative to the coastline with regards to the change in effective fetch, and the effects of atmospheric stability, are not well documented. This study investigates fetch-limited wind wave growth by examining cases where a steady wind blows at various angles to a straight coastline, across a continental shelf, in the presence of swell. The observed wind wave growth for offshore winds is consistent with previous observations in the North Sea. The presence of energetic swell opposing the wind does not have a significant effect on the wind sea development. Refraction strongly affects the directional properties of wind waves on the inner shelf. Observed wave growth rates agree well with predictions of the WAVEWATCH III operational wave prediction model forced with COAMPS winds.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Lieutenant, Royal Australian Navyhttp://archive.org/details/fetchlimitedwind10945611

    N.P. Atkinson and Jacob Atkinson letter to Thomas Rotch, Wheeling, September 16, 1819

    No full text
    The Atkinson brothers tell Thomas Rotch that they are desperate for hard currency notes and they would be grateful if he would pay down his bill and also send Arvine Wales to fetch Rotch's sheep. They ask Rotch: "Be good enough to say what you will give for first rate & second rate Merino wool." How Rotch responded to this letter is unclear. 8" x 12.75" (20.4 by 32 cm

    Instruction fetch mechanisms for VLIW architectures with compressed encodings

    No full text
    VLIW architectures use very wide instruction words in conjunction with high bandwidth to the instruction cache to achieve multiple instruction issue. This report uses the TIN-KER experimental testbed to examine instruction fetch and instruction cache mechanisms for VLIWs. A compressed instruction encoding for VLIWs is defined, and a classification scheme for i-fetch hardware for such an encoding is introduced. Several interesting cache and i-fetch organizations are described and evaluated through trace-driven simulations. A new i-fetch mechanism using a silo cache is found to have the best performance. 1

    Sources of resistance to pathotype QCC of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici in barley

    The occurrence of a wheat stem rust (Puccinia graminis Pers.:Pers. f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn.) pathotype (Pgt-QCC) with virulence for the Rpg1 gene in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) necessitated the search for resistant barley germplasm. From preliminary screenings of over 18 000 barley accessions, 13 lines were identified as possessing resistance to pathotype QCC: ‘Diamond’, ‘Hietpas 5’, Q21861, PC 11, PC 84, PC 249, PC 250, CI 5541, PI 452406, PI 452421, PI 477843, PI 477854, and PI 477860. This study was conducted to further characterize the reaction of the selected lines to pathotype QCC. The reaction was assessed by evaluating infection types at the seedling stage and infection responses at the adult plant stage in the greenhouse, and by evaluating disease severity and infection responses at the adult plant stage in the field compared to susceptible cultivars. Most lines exhibited low to intermediate infection types at the seedlings stage and moderately resistant to moderately susceptible infection responses at the adult plant stage in the greenhouse experiments. Among the selected lines, Q21861 exhibited the highest level of resistance at both the seedling and adult plant stages. These lines may provide an adequate level of resistance to pathotype QCC for cultivar development.Steffenson, Brian; Jin, Yue; Fetch, Thomas G.. (1994).

As Street has no knowledge of merino sheep, he asks Rotch to select the animals for him and he will fetch them as soon as possible. He reiterates that 11 was found in the room occupied by Rotch and his wife on a recent visit and he asks if the money is theirs. . 6.25" x 7.55" (15.9 by 19.4 cm
