Despite the advances made in the development of computer models of urban and regional systems the lack of an appropriate software package incorporating much of this work prevents the popularisation and widespread use of these methods. In statistical analysis the availability of packages such as SPSSX, GLIM, SAS, etc have enabled undergraduates, academics, and professionals to access easily a wide range of techniques. The authors feel that a similar type of package would have tremendous appeal both in the public and in the private sector. In this paper they outline their view of what this modelling package would consist of and how it could be constructed as a software system for a personal computer.

In July 1949 the Society of Experimental Biology and the Institute of Animal Behaviour together organized a Symposium for the discussion of a wide range of problems, neurological, physiological and psychological, in which the members of both groups were interested. The Symposium was held in the Zoological Laboratory of the University of Cambridge. K. S. Lashley came to England for this meeting, and no member of the large audience who heard him describe how he had set out ‘In search of the engram’, and what its upshot had been, is likely ever to forget the tremendous impression that he made. After the public discussions one morning, I walked with him back from the Zoological Department to Corpus Christi College, where he was staying. The sun shone with unclouded brilliance, and when we reached the College Lashley, who seemed, perhaps, a little tired, sat himself down on the stone steps leading to the main gate, one long leg stretched out towards the pavement, with not a single care for the curious, and slightly shocked glances of some of the passers-by. We were talking, not about any intricacies of animal behaviour, but about sailing and the sea, which he loved. He told me something about his own boats, and journeys he had made in them; but more about longer and unconventional voyages in small tramp steamers which took a long time, wherever they were going, and called at ports little known to the big luxury vessels for which he had no use at all.

The scientific study of sleep and its disorders is essentially just a few decades old, but during that time impressive advances have been made in the biological knowledge of sleep. There has been recognition and treatment of a wide range of sleep disorders from which many people in all sections of the population suffer. The common adverse consequences of persistent sleep disturbance (at personal, educational, social and occupational levels) for members of the public at large have become clear (Dement & Mitler, 1993), as have the special risks of such problems to which certain groups are exposed – notably people with chronic psychiatric or physical disorders or learning disabilities.

Grouping Algorithm

STATISTICA software package for statistical analysis incorporates a wide range of advanced statistical methods. Quite often they are preceded by aggregating statistical survey data, which main component is their grouping. Although this phase of statistical data processing is relatively simple, the manual process of aggregation can be time-consuming given the need to process large data arrays, not mentioning a high probability of errors. Therefore, the all-purpose STATISTICA software package is a logical and reasonable tool for grouping of data.     The article shows the grouping algorithm in STATISTICA software package, with focus on setup when constructing tables of frequencies of discrete and continual characters. Various options of grouping are scrutinized, with providing examples of their visualization.     A large number of STATISTICA parameters offers ample opportunities for constructing user tables, but users often are not aware of these options or do not know how they can be applied. Yet, the apparently simple grouping process in STATISTICA software package can sometimes require the knowledge of fine mechanisms for its setup. The article gives a detailed description of the mechanisms for creating interval margins when applying the parameter “approximate number of intervals”. The standard algorithm for selection is analyzed, allowing a user to limit the number of groups in a grouping. STATISTICA allows for using a number of grouping parameters, enabling to produce more convenient results or filter them. Thus, setting the clicker for label field “Grouping” in the position “Integer Categories” (integer intervals (categories)) initiates the grouping only for integer values of a variable, by excluding the observations containing its fractional values. When only standard parameters are used, it will be impossible to form uneven or open intervals.  This issue is out of focus in specialized literature and Internet sources. The article shows the algorithm for constructing open intervals by user-set conditions and the process of creating these conditions. This option allows for forming both closed and open intervals by solving all the problems in time of grouping. Because creating such conditions is time consuming, they should be preserved if they are required for further use. Setting up of STATISTICA software with missing data is analyzed. Its application will be advisable when a grouping for two or more variables is constructed. In this case, a separate sheet with a grouping is to be created in the worksheet for each variable.

Subject Outsourcing crisis. Significance The public sector relies on outsourcing companies for a wide range of essential services and these firms employ large numbers of people -- Capita 70,000, Serco 50,000, and Interserve 75,000. Interserve was urgently refinanced last month, the second time in 2018. Private sector firms are also involved as many rely on outsourcing arrangements for important services. Impacts Outsourced services will be costlier as firms will more selectively bid for contracts and governments will focus less on price. Governments will foster more competition and innovation among outsourcing firms and develop more of a partnership relationship with them. There will be greater scrutiny about how contracts are awarded, while existing contracts will be monitored more intensely.

Private Sector Involvement

AbstractDelivery high-quality services to people in a wide range of social fields and improve the most living standards are considered the main objectives for any government. Many countries, including the UK, felt the need for managerial reforms in the public sector after the global economic crisis, and several steps were taken to introduce new managerial public administration including the private sector involvement which was the only practical solution to encourage national economic growth. However, it was witnessed that the UK government could not successfully complete some of its projects carried out with private sectors, resulting in the waste of financial resources and effect negatively on the quality services delivered to people. This paper therefore aims to highlight the pros/cons of UK government contracts in order to propose various suggestions for the promotion of public private partnership (PPP), and for effective management of these contracts that will prevent the wasting of public money.

The term ‘parastatal’ is used rather loosely in Zambia, being often applied to a wide range of bodies such as boards, corporations, and companies that operate in the state-dominated sector of the economy. It is unfortunate that there has not been greater consistency in official usage, but these organisations have grown up over the years in different forms to meet felt needs and not according to a preconceived plan. The vagaries in terminology also reflect a degree of uncertainty in government policy on how the public sector should be ordered, as well as a piecemeal approach in its interventions in the economy since independence. However, in recent years the nomenclature has received greater attention out of a recognition that the parastatals loom rather large in the economy, often being more prominent than government departments and more visible than the private sector.

Spectrum Imaging

As interest for parallel EELS spectrum imaging grows in laboratories equipped with commercial spectrometers, different approaches were used in recent years by a few research groups in the development of the technique of spectrum imaging as reported in the literature. Either by controlling, with a personal computer both the microsope and the spectrometer or using more powerful workstations interfaced to conventional multichannel analysers with commercially available programs to control the microscope and the spectrometer, spectrum images can now be obtained. Work on the limits of the technique, in terms of the quantitative performance was reported, however, by the present author where a systematic study of artifacts detection limits, statistical errors as a function of desired spatial resolution and range of chemical elements to be studied in a map was carried out The aim of the present paper is to show an application of quantitative parallel EELS spectrum imaging where statistical analysis is performed at each pixel and interpretation is carried out using criteria established from the statistical analysis and variations in composition are analyzed with the help of information retreived from t/γ maps so that artifacts are avoided.

For many years the concept of quantitative diffraction contrast experiments might have consisted of the determination of dislocation Burgers vectors using a g.b = 0 criterion from several different 2-beam images. Since the advent of the personal computer revolution, the available computing power for performing image-processing and image-simulation calculations is enormous and ubiquitous. Several programs now exist to perform simulations of diffraction contrast images using various approximations. The most common approximations are the use of only 2-beams or a single systematic row to calculate the image contrast, or calculating the image using a column approximation. The increasing amount of literature showing comparisons of experimental and simulated images shows that it is possible to obtain very close agreement between the two images; although the choice of parameters used, and the assumptions made, in performing the calculation must be properly dealt with. The simulation of the images of defects in materials has, in many cases, therefore become a tractable problem.
