Response to How Are the Mighty Fallen?
Authors: Brueggemann Walter 
Published: July 2007

AbstractBarbara Green's monograph, How Are the Mighty Fallen?, shows her to be a strong reader of 1 Samuel, whose interpretive efforts function as both a co-author of 1 Samuel and co-creator of Saul and his cast of characters. Her dialogic style of reading, taken from Bakhtin, allows readers to engage her interpretation without having to agree to all her conclusions. Her facility with Bakhtinian analysis, however, means at times that Bakhtin intrudes on the conversation she engenders with her readers. Her distinction between the "real" God (who "wishes us well") and the God of the text requires further reflection, even if there is no final answerability from the human side. Green envisions a practice of reading, study, and engagement that is profoundly dialogical, inviting scholarly analysis beyond its conventional objectivism, but vigorously resisting a careless subjectivism that now so much jeopardizes our common work.
Response to How Are the Mighty Fallen? A Dialogical Study of King Saul in 1 Samuel
Authors: Newsom Carol 
Published: July 2007

AbstractBarbara Green's monograph, How Are the Mighty Fallen?, opens new vistas for the interpretation of 1 Samuel. No other work has attempted to use Bakhtin's thought so systematically in its interpretive project. In one sense the book might be viewed as a kind of experimental workshop in which the usefulness and generative potential of Bakhtin's categories are systematically explored. One of the risks in such a procedure is that not everything will work equally well—or, conversely, that there will not finally be an integral relationship between the Bakhtinian categories and the reading that is produced. Perhaps the most useful applications of Bakhtinian categories are "answerability" and "architectonics." Two of his concepts employed by Green that are found less satisfactorily are his understanding of genre and chronotope.
Response to Panel on How Are the Mighty Fallen?
Authors: Green Barbara 
Published: July 2007

AbstractThese generous responses to "How Are the Mighty Fallen?" raise three substantive issues that invite dialogue. First is the question of methodology, whether the use of Bakhtin to read scripture clarifies or obfuscates the text. Second is the difficulty in sorting the connections between 1 Samuel and the Deuteronomistic History. Finally is the puzzling question of biblical spirituality, the relationship between the textual God and the "real" God. All of these issues provide productive invitations to further discussion.

Two Secrets, Two Disclosures
Authors: Minear Paul 
Published: July 2007

AbstractMatthew 11:25-30, with its prayer, soliloquy and promise, may have served as a working outline for the way that the author of Matthew's Gospel understood his story as a whole. Two related secrets are revealed in these verses that are further explicated in the narrative as a whole, namely that God and Jesus have identities that reinforce one another as Father and Son. Particularly the events of cross and resurrection explicate how it is that no one knows the Son except the Father and no one knows the Father except the Son.

The European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Polar System is the European contribution to the European–U.S. operational polar meteorological satellite system (Initial Joint Polar System). It serves the midmorning (a.m.) orbit 0930 Local Solar Time (LST) descending node. The EUMETSAT satellites of this new polar system are the Meteorological Operational Satellite (Metop) satellites, jointly developed with ESA. Three Metop satellites are foreseen for at least 14 years of operation from 2006 onward and will support operational meteorology and climate monitoring.
The Metop Programme includes the development of some instruments, such as the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment, Advanced Scatterometer, and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Receiver for Atmospheric Sounding, which are advanced instruments of recent successful research missions. Core components of the Metop payload, common with the payload on the U.S. satellites, are the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer and the Advanced Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) Operational Vertical Sounder (ATOVS) package, composed of the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS), Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit A (AMSU-A), and Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS). They provide continuity to the NOAA-K, -L, -M satellite series (in orbit known as NOAA-15, -16 and -17). MHS is a EUMETSAT development and replaces the AMSU-B instrument in the ATOVS suite. The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) instrument, developed by the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, provides hyperspectral resolution infrared sounding capabilities and represents new technology in operational satellite remote sensing.
Are Status Offenders Really So Different?
Authors: Thomas Charles W. 
Published: July 2007

Numerous authorities have argued convincingly that what have been termed "status offenses" should be removed from the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. Perhaps the most cogent rationale that has been advanced in this regard flows directly from the statutory and procedural inequity that is clearly demonstrated by this vaguely defined set of offenses. Unfortunately, many advocates of reform have gone on to argue that a substantial body of empirical research has shown that (1) status offenders are not a significant threat to society because they have not been and generally will not become involved in more serious offenses and (2) any movement toward more serious involvement stems more from the stig matizing consequences of formal legal processing than from any other source. Such assertions are based on insufficient or nonexistent empirical evidence. Indeed, this analysis, based on an examination of the offense histories of a large sample of juveniles who appeared before one of two urban juvenile courts on one or more occasions during a five-year period, shows that many juveniles charged with status offenses have previously been charged with other types of offenses, that juveniles whose first court appearance involved a status offense are more likely to recidivate than those first charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, and that there is little or no evidence to support the contention that legal processing is associated with subsequent involvement in more serious delinquency.

Adult of Four Ethnic Groupsi Whites, Chinese, Japanese and '' Boat People ''
Authors: Myers Kathleen M. , Croake James W. , Singh Abe 
Published: July 2007

The paper reports the first of adult fears according to ethnicity The Chinese endorsed greater fearfulness than the whites. This difference was more marked for the women than the men. However, the Chinese and Japanese, two well-acculturated Asian minorities, expressed no differences in their and Chinese living in two different sites demonstrated only small changes in their pattern of fears. By contrast, Vietnamese "boat people" expressed greatly increased total fearfulness as well as increased fear in all individual fear categories studied, However, unlike the Chinese and whites, sex had no effect on the "boat people's" fears. These results suggest that ethnicity influences overall fearfulness and the patterns of fears held by adults. Furthermore, sex and socioenviromental factors may interact with ethnicity to modify the pattern of these fears.
Which Neurotic Patients Are Treated With Psychotherapy?
Authors: Alexander David A. , Eagles John M. 
Published: July 2007

Of 336 newly referred cases of neurosis 170 (51 %) were offered psychotherapy. The factors associated with being offered this treatment were: a diagnosis of anxiety neurosis or phobic neurosis, not having had a history of deliberate self harm, living not more than 20 miles from the hospital, being less than 51 years of age, and being either married or single. Sex, duration of disorder, socio-economic status, employment status, a history of alcohol abuse and a family history of mental disorder had no significant bearing on whether or not patients were offered psychotherapy.
Clinical Judgement On Alternative Care for Longstay Patients in Dutch Mental Hospitals
Authors: Haveman M.J. 
Published: July 2007

How many longstay patients could be equally served by less sheltered facilities, and what are the main reasons for staff members to judge patients suitable for such alternative care? These were two questions in a Dutch study (1984-1985) of five mental hospitals. The attending psychiatrists in these hospitals and members of the nursing staff, were asked to give an independent judgement for each of a random sample of 381 longstay patients. Thirty percent of the longstay patients were judged eligible for alternative care. They were generally younger, less frequently diagnosed as schizophrenic, better integrated both inside and outside the mental hospital, more likely to be resident of wards with high turnover rates, were less aggressive, had better social skills, and had shorter periods of inpatient stay. Compared with the rest of the patients no statistically significant differences were found with regard to suicidal behaviour, organic brain syndrome and formal admission status.
"Merchandising of Cotton Textiles"

Published: July 2007

This is the second of a scries of studies of textile distribution, conducted under grants of the Textile Foundation, Inc. "The Commercial Problems of the Woolen and Worsted Industries," by Paul T. Cherington, was completed and published last year. Another for the silk industry is in progress. The following digest of "Merchandising of Cotton Textiles" has been prepared by the authors. The complete report, however, of less than 35,000 words, represents maximum condensation to meet the needs of the busy executive and yet provide adequate and clarified coverage. Although specifically a study of cotton textile merchandising, it merits the study of all who are interested in correct merchandising principles.
Micro-Analysis of Textile Fibres
Authors: Osborne G. Gordon 
Published: July 2007

It is shown by means of a casting technique, and subsequent microscopic examination of the fibre in situ and after removal from the cast, that many of the familiar markings exhibited by ramie are actually fissures. Partial explanation of the known lack of resistance to bending and torsion displayed by the fibre is offered, and certain details of technique of general interest in fibre microscopy are described.
Effect of Wear and Laundering on Cotton Sheeting
Authors: Haley Lawrence B. 
Published: July 2007

Wide cotton sheets were placed in service and laundered weekly. Chemical and physical tests were made on the sheets at successive wear intervals. The physical properties of the sheets, namely, strength, weight, thickness and air permeability, were found to be more adversely affected in the area exposed to the greatest wear. Copper number and alpha-cellulose determinations showed the chemical deterioration to be greatest in this same portion of the sheet. Photomicrographs showed the greatest change in the physical appearance of the sheets occurred in this area. This evidence indicates that wear either has a chemical action or so changes the physical condition of the material that the chemical effect of laundering is increased. It follows, then, that the effect of wear or abrasion is much greater than has been assumed by previous investigators and that this effect must be considered in judging the wearability of cotton sheets.
Micro-Analysis of Textile Fibres

The nature of the subject of this study, and the wide and general scope of the research, precludes the drawing of any specific conclusions in short sentence form. Certain generalities concerning cotton (already known or surmised) have been substantiated, while others have been rejected. In addition several minor aspects of cotton flbre composition are reported for the first time. Certain sections of this paper, of particular interest to the reader, may be profitably studied alone, but to obtain an adequate conception of the full picture necessitates a reading of the entire paper. This is to be expected when it is recalled that the main purpose is to collect, analyze, and correlate the work of the past with the findings of the present study. As this field is so enormous, of necessity detailed information about one specific phase of it is not presented. In summary outline the scope of the research is as follows: A detailed micro-analysis of the cotton fibre divides it into four main parts—cuticle, primary wall, secondary wall, and lumen. Each of these has been scrutinized carefully and descriptions of their component structure together with illustrative material are given. Reference has been made throughout to several theoretical aspects of the subject, while the final section of the report is devoted e xclusirely to a consideration of the fibre's molecular arrangement, growth mechanism, and inter-micellar make-up.

Some Dynamic Properties of Filamentous Materials
Authors: Saxl Irving J. 
Published: July 2007

A testing apparatus is described in which the chain-weight principle is used for the purpose of a slow and continuous load application as well as load removal. The elongation can be read with precision with the aid of a micrometer device and an indicator which has an attachment for practically eliminating parallactic errors. Readings are taken in the state of substantial equilibrium of load-versus-extension. With this machine it is possible to give special consideration to such critical points as the yield point. The instrument lends itself readily, furthermore, to the determination of hysteresis loops and also to the investigation of crimp in yarns. Reliable data are given of load extension curves of representative synthetic yarns. In addition to taking the stretch-versus-tension diagrams, as such, the hysteresis loops are determined for various points of the loadstrain curve and their theoretical and practical importance is discussed. The measurements taken of textile yarns are compared to the load extension characteristics of metals and the results are discussed in exact physical terms. The dynamic characteristics of sized yarn are discussed. The limitations of crimpage measurements are mentioned.
Microbiology of Textile Fibres VI. Relative Humidity over Certain Aqueous Solutions of Glycerol at 25° C
Authors: Prindle Bryce 
Published: July 2007

A dew point apparatus was devised for measuring the humidity over aqueous solutions of non-volatile substances. Preliminary experiments proved that results obtained with the instrument were reproducible and that it could be used to make dependable measurements of the relative humidity over such solutions in the range of from 70% to 90% at 25° C. Dew point determinations were made on a series of glycerol solutions having aqueous tensions corresponding to from 70% to 95% relative humidity at 25° C. The experimental data are critically compared with previously published figures.
The Structure of Cellulose

Published: July 2007

This paper was prepared by invitation for the Second International Congress of the International Association for Testing Materials which was held in London, April 19-24, 1937. The first part comprises the prepared report which was sent to all members before the meeting of the Congress. The praiseworthy instructions to authors required the compression of the assigned subject into a concise, factual report. The papers were not read at the Congress sessions. Instead, each author was given five minutes to comment on the significance of the reported facts. The second part consists, therefore, of my comments when this paper was called up for discussion at the session of Group C on Organic Materials on April 21. It draws attention to the far-reaching and fundamental significance of the facts reviewed in the formal report. The paper and comments together with discussion from the floor will appear in the forthcoming "Congress Rook." My indebtedness to the International Association for Testing Materials is hereby gratefully acknowledged for permission to print the paper and comments in full prior to publication in the "Congress Book."
The Cellulose-Alkali Hydroxide-Water System in the Cyanoethylation of Cotton Cellulose
Authors: Klein Elias , Weaver J.W. , Webre Beverly G. , Jurgens Julian F. 
Published: July 2007

. When cotton cellulose is cyanoethytated with a large excess of acrylonitrile in the presence of aqueous alkali hydroxides at a fixed, time and temperature, the rate of re action is controlled by the ratios of base : cellulose : water. The variations in yield and rate of cyanoethylation can be explained by considering the changes brought about in cellutusate ion concentration, solubility of acrylonitrile, and bond strengths, by varying the amount, concentration, and nature of the alkali hydroxide on the cellulose. The microbiological resistance of the product is dependent on the same ratios because of the formation of carboxyl groups in the product, the rate of which formation is governed by the strength and quantity of the aqueous base, and the time of the reaction. The rate of reaction and yield of cyanoethytated cotton can be greatly improved by the inclusion of hydrotropic salts in the padding liquor.
A Survey of Soluble Chemically Modified Cotton Fibers
Authors: Reinhardt Robert M. , Reid J. David 
Published: July 2007

Many cellulose derivatives are known to be water- or alkali-soluble, The solubility of these derivatives which are principally esters and ethers has been found to be a func tion of the degree of polymerization, the nature of the substituent group, decree of substi tution, method of preparation, and type of solvent. A few soluble fibers have been pre pared from cotton in which the fibrous form of the cotton is retained during the prepa ration; that is, the cellulosic hydroxyl group has been chemically modified to a group which confers solubility to the fiber. Hydroxyethylation. carboxymethylation, and oxi dation are examples of such procedures and details of the processes are given. Factors affecting the solubility of chemccally modified cotton are discussed. Among these are the mechanism of solution of a modified fiber; and the problems of uniformity of treatment encountered in the chemical modification of cotton fiber, yarns, and fabric. Some of the present uses of soluble fibers and possible future uses are discussed.
Indexing and compressing full-text databases for CD-ROM
Authors: Witten Ian H. , Bell Timothy C. , Nevill Craig G. 
Published: July 2007

CD-ROM is an attractive delivery velucle for full-text databases. Because of large storage capacity and low access speed, carefully designed indexing structures—including a con cordance—are necessary to enable the text to be retneved efficiently. However, the indexes are sufficiently large that they tax the ability of main store to hold them when processing quenes. The use of compression techniques can substantially mcrease the volume of text that a disk can accommodate, and substantially decrease the amount of pnmary storage needed to hold the indexes. This paper describes a suitable indexing mechanism, and its compression potential using modem compression methods. It is possible to double the amount of text that can be stored on a CD-ROM disk and include a full concordance and indexes as well. A single disk can accommodate around 180 million words of text—equivalent to a library of 1000-1500 books—and provide rapid response to a vanety of quenes involving multi ple search terms and word fragments.

This study of the use and value of 158 MSC in Information Studies dissertations produced in the ten years 1978-79 to 1987-88 at the Unversity of Sheffield, Department of Information Studies, is based mainly on questionnaire surveys of the former taught course students who wrote the dissertations, the academic staff who supervised them and the staff of external organisations who suggested topics and/or participated in other ways. Searches of SCISEARCH® and Social Scisearch® were undertaken for references which cited publica tions based on the dissertations All except one of the 82 former students surveyed by questionnaire (68% response rate) had found the research pro cess useful, whilst 52% had made use of their dissertations in ,ome way since graduating The dissertation supervisors had made use of 80%, others in the Department of 38% and the staff in external organisations of 72% of the dissertations. Thirty-seven percent of the dissertations had resulted in pub lications in the professional literature. A search of SCISEARCH® and Social Scrsearch® showed that of 30 such publications, 20 had been cited. producing a total of 143 citations. Authors from over 54 other organisations, including those in us, USSR. Canada. Switzerland, Italy and Belgium, had cited these papers Thirteen of the publications were cited in reviews.
Corporate Culture and Economic Performance: A French Study
Authors: Calori Roland , Sarnin Philippe 
Published: July 2007

This paper is based on an exploratory field study of the relations between corpor ate culture and economic performance. The method of assessing a company's culture is presented, then hypotheses on relations between values, management practices and economic performance are proposed and discussed. The study was limited to five French single business companies operating in mature industries with a differentiation strategy. Cultural intensity and homogen eity and some cultural attributes appeared to be related to the firms' growth. On the other hand, the relations between profitability and the company's cultural attributes were less significant. Some hypotheses are generated for further validation.
