Amount Of Information

SummarySince I was asked in September last to read this lecture conditions ha\c •so chang-ed that it has, been necessary totally to re-cast and re-write what I then proposed to say. A large amount of information as to the lactual achiexe- ments of airships has been published and also perhaps an even larger amount of speculation as to their future possibilities. What will, therefore, probably Tdc of interest to a technical society such as this is a general outline of tlie ships as they exist at the stage to which they have been developed during the war.In order to make clear the various matters which inlluence the lift and behaviour of an airship, I have introduced a small amount of aerostatics which will appear obvious and unnecessary to many, but may help others to the understanding of the more interesting points treated later.The extent of the detail which I have been allowed to include in the lecture, although such matters have not been published before, leaves the Society with .a very deep debt of gratitude to the Admiralty.

If we make a set of measurements, such as narrow-band or multicolour photo-electric measurements, which are designed to improve a scheme of classification, and in particular if they are designed to extend the number of dimensions of classification, i.e. the number of classification parameters, then some important problems of analytical procedure arise. First, it is important not to reproduce the errors of the classification scheme which we are trying to improve. Second, when trying to extend the number of dimensions of classification we have little or nothing with which to test the validity of the new parameters.Problems similar to these have occurred in other areas of scientific research (notably psychology and education) and the branch of Statistics called Multivariate Analysis has been developed to deal with them. The techniques of this subject are largely unknown to astronomers, but, if carefully applied, they should at the very least ensure that the astronomer gets the maximum amount of information out of his data and does not waste his time looking for information which is not there. More optimistically, these techniques are potentially capable of indicating the number of classification parameters necessary and giving specific formulas for computing them, as well as pinpointing those particular measurements which are most crucial for determining the classification parameters.

Contrast Information

Many factors (e.g., resolution of microscope, type of tissue, and preparation of sample) affect electron microscopical images and alter the amount of information that can be retrieved from a specimen. Of interest in this report are those factors associated with the evaluation of epoxy embedded tissues. In this context, informational retrieval is dependant, in part, on the ability to “see” sample detail (e.g., contrast) and, in part, on tue quality of sample preservation. Two aspects of this problem will be discussed: 1) epoxy resins and their effect on image contrast, information retrieval, and sample preservation; and 2) the interaction between some stains commonly used for enhancing contrast and information retrieval.

Fluency Disorders

Abstract Educating students and informing clinicians regarding developments in therapy approaches and in evidence-based practice are important elements of the responsibility of specialist academic posts in universities. In this article, the development of narrative therapy and its theoretical background are outlined (preceded by a general outline of how the topic of fluency disorders is introduced to students at an Irish university). An example of implementing narrative therapy with a 12-year-old boy is presented. The brief case description demonstrates how narrative therapy facilitated this 12-year-old make sense of his dysfluency and his phonological disorder, leading to his improved understanding and management of the problems, fostering a sense of control that led ultimately to their resolution.

Amount Of Information

Information retrieval finds itself at an interesting juncture, where the amount of information that is available to people increases every day from its already bewildering limit. The problem is how to get the information we need in a timely and efficient fashion, without delivering useless or unwanted information. Current Web-Based IR systems do their best, but they will find it increasingly. . .

Solving Russian Velars: Palatalization, the Lexicon, and Gradient Contrast Utilization

Lexical Items

Palatalized velars in Russian are often considered exceptional because they are neither fully predictable, nor clearly unpredictable. They are an example of a common phonological relationship in which sounds have the potential to distinguish words but are only utilized in limited contexts and/or lexical items. These “intermediate phonological relationships” (Goldsmith) are problematic for traditional phonological theories which make a binary distinction between predictable sounds (allophones; dealt with in the grammar) and unpredictable sounds (phonemes; dealt with in the lexicon). To deal with intermediate phonological relationships in a principled way we must reconsider assumptions about the type and amount of information stored in the lexicon.

Sweet potato serves as a staple food for people in Jayawijaya. Many cultivars of sweet potatoes have been cultivated by Dani tribe in Kurulu as foot for their infant, child and adult as well as feeding especially for pigs. Base on the used of sweet potatoes as food source for infant and child, this study explored 10 different cultivars. As for the leaf morphology, it was indentified that the mature leaves have size around 15 � 18 cm. general outline of the leaf is reniform (40%), 60% have green colour leaf, 50% without leaf lobe, 60% of leaf lobes number is one, 70% of shape of central leaf lobe is toothed. Abazial leaf vein pigmentation have purple (40%), and petiole pigmentation is purple with green near leaf (60%), besides its tuber roots, sweet potatoes are also harvested for its shoots and green young leaves for vegetables.

Proper Analysis

Prompt cooling to remove field heat is an essential part of proper postharvest handling for many types of fresh fruits and vegetables. Growers, consultants, and horticultural agents are often encouraged to collect cooling data (time vs. temperature) in order to compare cooling rates for different systems, containers, etc. These data can be misleading and confusing and seldom yield much useful information. With proper analysis, cooling data can yield a large amount of information. The problem is not the fault of the data, as much as the lack of simple methods to analyze these data. This presentation will demonstrate several simple methods to extract useful information from cooling data.
