Rios v. Bayer: The Illinois Supreme Court Recognizes Bristol-Myers Squibb
No full textMadison County, Illinois is a favorite venue among forum shoppers. Jamison Winters discusses how, by recognizing Bristol-Myers Squibb’s narrowing of the relatedness standard in specific personal jurisdiction, the recent Illinois Supreme Court decision in Rios v. Bayer may work to discourage forum shopping in venues like Madison County.https://scholarship.law.slu.edu/lawjournalonline/1052/thumbnail.jp

Letter to Mrs. Jamison, October 1, 1914
No full textThis letter, written October 1,1914, by an unknown author, is in response to a request by Mrs. Jamison for assistance in the women's suffrage movement in Ohio. The author describes her and her Suffrage Club's enthusiasm for helping Mrs. Jamison, and states her club could spare two or three women to travel but could not provide financial assistance. The author lets Mrs. Jamison know her availability for the month, and says she can spare a weekend off from her job as a probation officer. The author writes in the letter that she believes three days will be enough to garner passion among Ohio women for the suffrage movement.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

Woman as Object

Robyn Beirman Jamison discusses interviewing and photographing the women, creating the works, and the imagery of objectification of women by society
The Making of Green Engineers Sustainable Development and the Hybrid Imagination:Synthesis Lectures on Engineering
No full textThis book discusses the ways in which engineering educators are responding to the challenges that confront their profession. On the one hand, there is an overarching sustainability challenge: the need for engineers to relate to the problems brought to light in the debates about environmental protection, resource depletion, and climate change. There are also a range of societal challenges that are due to the permeation of science and technology into ever more areas of our societies and everyday lives, and finally, there are the intrinsic scientific and technological challenges stemming from the emergence of new fields of "technosciences" that mix science and technology in new combinations.In the book, the author discusses and exemplifies three contending response strategies on the part of engineers and engineering educators: a commercial strategy that links scientists and engineers into networks or systems of innovation; an academic strategy that reasserts the traditional values of science and engineering; and an integrative strategy that aims to combine scientific knowledge and engineering skills with cultural understanding and social responsibility by fostering what the author terms a "hybrid imagination."Professor Jamison combines scholarly analysis with personal reflections drawing on over forty years of experience as a humanist teaching science and engineering students about the broader social, political and cultural contexts of their fields. The book has been written as part of the Program of Research on Opportunities and Challenges in Engineering Education in Denmark (PROCEED), funded by the Danish Strategic Research Council, for which Professor Jamison has served as coordinator.Table of Contents: Turning Engineering Green / Contending Approaches to Engineering Education / The Emergence of Green Engineering / Educating Green Engineers / Fostering Hybridity / A Case Study: The Alley Flat Initiative in Austin, Texas / Conclusion

Comparing Human Perception to Computational Classifications of Lexical Tones
No full textThis dissertation analyzed the tonal and acoustic properties of utterances produced from five native Thai speakers. The computational model produced classifications based on predictions made by a Hidden Markov Model that simulates tone perception and categorization. The computational model tested the categorization of stimuli taken from both citation and continuous contexts of Thai tonal data, in order to compare the performance of the computational model on both clear and naturalistic stimuli. Two perception experiments were also conducted, involving human listeners, for the purpose of comparing their behavior to that of the computational model. The results reveal that the classifications of lexical tone categories made by the computational model yield some dissimilar learning patterns to that found in human perceptual learning of the same categories

Cooperative checkpointing for supercomputing systems
No full textThesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2005.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 91-94).A system-level checkpointing mechanism, with global knowledge of the state and health of the machine, can improve performance and reliability by dynamically deciding when to skip checkpoint requests made by applications. This thesis presents such a technique, called cooperative checkpointing, and models its behavior as an online algorithm. Where C is the checkpoint overhead and I is the request interval, a worst-case analysis proves a lower bound of (2 + [C/I])-competitiveness for deterministic cooperative checkpointing algorithms, and proves that a number of simple algorithms meet this bound. Using an expected-case analysis, this thesis proves that an optimal periodic checkpointing algorithm that assumes an exponential failure distribution may be arbitrarily bad relative to an optimal cooperative checkpointing algorithm that permits a general failure distribution. Calculations suggest that, under realistic conditions, an application using cooperative checkpointing may make progress 4 times faster than one using periodic checkpointing. Finally, the thesis suggests an embodiment of cooperative checkpointing for a large-scale high performance computer system and presents the results of some preliminary simulations. These results show that, in extreme cases, cooperative checkpointing improved system utilization by more than 25%, reduced bounded slowdown by a factor of 9, while simultaneously reducing the amount of work lost due to failures by 30%. This thesis contributes a unique approach to providing large-scale system reliability through cooperative checkpointing, techniques for analyzing the approach, and blueprints for implementing it in practice.by Adam Jamison Oliner.M.Eng
Oral history podcast
No full textYou are a part of a collegewide effort to increase access to education and empower students
through "open pedagogy." Open pedagogy is a "free access" educational practice that places you
- the student - at the center of your own learning process in a more engaging, collaborative
learning environment. The ultimate purpose of this effort is to achieve greater social justice in
our community in which the work can be freely shared with the broader community. This is a
renewable assignment that is designed to enable you to become an agent of change in your
community through the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). For this work, you will integrate the disciplines of English/Creative Writing, History,
and Women and Gender Studies to achieve SDG #5: Gender Equality. With a focus on Targets
