Derivation of VO and OV
No full textThe Derivation of VO and OV takes a new look at the relationship between head-final or OV structures and head-initial or VO ones, in light of recent work by Richard Kayne and others. The various papers in the volume take different positions with respect to whether one type of structure is derived from the other, and if so, which of the two orders is primary.Different options explored include derivation of VO order by head movement from a basic OV structure, derivation of VO by fronting of a phrasal VP remnant containing only the verb, derivation of OV by fronting of a remnant VP which the verb has vacated, and others.Each paper is thoroughly rooted in empirical observations about specific constructions drawn either from the Germanic languages or from others including Finnish, Hungarian, Japanese, and Malagasy.The volume consists of eleven original papers by Sjef Barbiers, Michael Brody, Naoki Fukui & Yuji Takano, Liliane Haegeman, Hubert Haider, Roland Hinterhölzl, Anders Holmberg, Thorbjorg Hróarsdóttir, Matthew Pearson, Peter Svenonius, and Knut Tarald Taraldsen, plus an introduction by the editor.THE DERIVATION OF VO AND OV -- Editorial page -- Title page -- LCC page -- Table of Contents -- Introduction -- Word Order, Restructuring and Mirror Theory -- OV is More Basic than VO -- Remnant Movement and OV Order -- V-movement and VP-movement in Derivations Leading to VO order -- Deriving OV Order in Finnish -- Parameter Change in Icelandic -- The Right Periphery in SOV Languages: English and Dutch -- Nominal Structure: An Extension of the Symmetry Principle -- Quantifier Movement in Icelandic -- Licensing Movement and Stranding in the West Germanic OV Languages -- Two Types of VO Languages -- Index -- The Series LINGUISTIK AKTUELL/LINGUISTICS TODAYThe Derivation of VO and OV takes a new look at the relationship between head-final or OV structures and head-initial or VO ones, in light of recent work by Richard Kayne and others.

Interview with Gabriela Vo, Class of 2021
Full text linkOral history interview with Illinois State University alum Gabriela Vo, Class of 2021. The interview was conducted by Milner Library intern Paige Malloy on July 6, 2023.
Vo recounts that she grew up in Vietnam and moved to the United States in 2015 to attend college. She earned a bachelor’s degree University of Wisconsin – Superior, then elected to pursue a master’s degree through ISU’s Clinical-Counseling Psychology program. During undergrad she found community and support through the Gender Equity Resource Center and UWS Alliance, but had a hard time connecting with queer students at ISU. However, she says she felt supported in her identity as an international student and queer woman of color at ISU. She shares a memorable experience of standing up to a speaker on campus who was spreading hateful messages against LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Vo particularly appreciated the warm and supportive environment of International Student Support Services and the Clinical-Counseling Psychology program, where she received personal attention from faculty members. Her involvement in the Junior Varsity League of Legends Esports team also provided her with a sense of community and relaxation outside of academics.
Following graduation, Vo pursued a career in mental health, initially at Chestnut Health System before transitioning to a role as a quality assurance clinician for the 988 Crisis and Suicide Lifeline with PATH. Reflecting on her time at ISU, Vo expresses satisfaction with her accomplishments but also wishes that she had paced herself better.https://ir.library.illinoisstate.edu/aoh/1054/thumbnail.jp
A Consistent Metric For Performance Evaluation of Multi-Object Filters
Full text linkThe concept of a miss-distance, or error, between a reference quantity and its estimated/controlled value, plays a fundamental role in any filtering/control problem. Yet there is no satisfactory notion of a miss-distance in the well-established field of multi-object filtering. In this paper, we outline the inconsistencies of existing metrics in the context of multi-object miss-distances for performance evaluation. We then propose a new mathematically and intuitively consistent metric that addresses the drawbacks of current multi-object performance evaluation metrics
Vo MyLe video oral history interview and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation and donated to the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes video recordings of interviews with Vietnamese Americans native to or living in Texas. This interview forms part of the national 500 Oral Histories Project conducted by the Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation.Vo MyLe was born on 11 November 1949 in Hanoi, Vietnam. Her occupation both here in the United States and in Vietnam is as a teacher. She is Buddhist. She arrived in the United States in July 1975. Vo MyLe fled Hanoi to Saigon via boat with her mother in 1954 (father had passed away the previous year). She distinctly remembers American soldiers carrying her to the boat. Her family owned a bookstore in Hanoi. In Saigon, Vo MyLe’s mother had to raise five children singlehandedly, jumping from job to job selling bicycles, rice, rain jackets, and wedding cakes. Vo MyLe’s two sisters pursued careers as pharmacists, one brother became an engineer, and one became a dentist. She wanted to pursue a career as a teacher and was supported by her mother, who encouraged her to go and study in Paris, France. She returned to Vietnam in 1972 and taught elementary school children until 1975, when she made preparations to open her own school with her husband, Vo Dang, who helped her build it. In April 1975, the Viet Cong invaded and Vo MyLe and her husband consequently fled. Vo MyLe’s mother received airplane tickets from her brother in-law’s father (friend) who did not leave the country then was later sent by the new regime to the re-education camp in North Vietnam for more than 10 years. Vo MyLe’s mother gave the tickets to Vo MyLe’s pregnant sister and Vo MyLe, who had a 17 month old child. They flew out of Vietnam on 23 April 1975 to Guam then to Pendleton, California. Vo MyLe was eventually reunited with her family (who immigrated via boat). Vo MyLe and family moved to Cooper, Texas (brother-in-law, a physician, was sponsored by the town due to a need for a new doctor), a small town of 2500 people. The town provided a furnished apartment, cans of soup, and toys for Vo MyLe’s son. Vo MyLe re-took the ECFMG under the town’s sponsorship. Vo MyLe moved to Houston, where she worked at Houston Montessori Children Center from 1978-1985. She furthered her education in San Diego and eventually took over the Houston Montessori Children Center and the affiliated training center in 1987.
Vo MyLe remembers the terrors of the TET Offense (1968) in which the Viet Cong attacked Saigon and other cities of South Vietnam. She was frightened every night by mortars of Viet Cong who shelled the city and the news of husbands’ friends who died at the battle fields.
After the Communist took over South Vietnam, her brother-in-law was sent to the education camp and her family did not know where and when he died.
When Vo MyLe came back to Vietnam in 2005 and 2006, she saw a big difference between the rich and the poor. She hopes Vietnam will be free and democratic soon. She loves her country; she feels a sympathetic pain in her heart for the people in the agonies of poverty. She joints the “Messenger of Love†, a non-profit organization which helps poor children in Vietnam. During the visit to Vietnam in 2005, she met a shoe-shine boy who dropped out of school because he was so poor. His parent died and he was living with his grand-mother. Vo Myle told him that she would give him money monthly if he went back to school for continuing his education. He was a high school student.
For her children, her grand-children or Vietnamese students, Vo Myle teaches them to be polite, to respect family and country, to be honest, and to preserve Vietnamese Culture and History, and never forget their own language

VO₂max: the gold standard for measuring fitness explained
Full text linkFirst paragraph: If you could pick one measure to evaluate your health, what would you pick? Blood pressure? Cholesterol? These are commonly measured by your GP, but there is something that is more informative: maximal aerobic capacity, otherwise known as VO₂max. This measure tells you your maximum (max) rate (V) of oxygen (O₂) uptake and use during exercise. The greater this is, the better your health. In fact, VO₂max is the best predictor of your risk, at a given point in time, of getting chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes or certain cancers, and the best predictor of your chances of living a long and healthy life. Intuitively, this does not make much sense: most people go through life without ever needing to reach their VO₂max.https://theconversation.com/vo-max-the-gold-standard-for-measuring-fitness-explained-10948
