An industrial robotics course based on a graphical simulation package

In recent years there has been an increasing introduction of industrial robots in the manufacturing industry, with several studies that predict the increased dissemination of robots in industrial and service sectors. On the other hand, there is often the lack of people able to plan the introduction of these equipments in manufacturing environments and to operate it after its inception. This leads to the need to train undergraduates in the operation and programming of industrial robots. Due to the Portuguese economic situation, there is a lack of funding for the higher schools, leading to the need of finding innovative ways to teach these subjects. Bearing in mind these ideas, in this paper is described a course on industrial robotics, which is based in the achievement of the practical training using commercial off-the-shelf robot simulation software for off-line programming.
MNEs in the Digital Economy

Technological advances are changing many aspects of business activity and in particular the meaning of distance and geography. Such changes are likely to have profound impact on firms whose activities take place over distance, namely MNEs. Using the motivations for FDI identified in the literature as a theoretical framework, this study examines the motivations of firms producing and selling products that can be transferred electronically in real time and at little or no cost, to establish operations outside their home countries. The paper advances a set of hypotheses regarding the likely motivations for foreign activity under such circumstances and provides some statistical testing for their prevalence in US inward and outward FDI. The findings suggest that the investment motivations of firms operating in the digital economy differ from those of firms in the traditional world. The most important motivations for FDI in the digital economy appear to be efficiency and the quest for intangible assets, especially those embedded in human capital, while market seeking and the search for low cost export platforms appear to be the dominant motivations for FDI in the traditional economy.
The Salience of Tourism in Politics

Research on the link between tourism and politics still remains relatively underdeveloped and more so when one considers the link between this phenomenon and the study of elections or psephology. This is despite the importance of elections to the democratic process and to considerations of the distribution of scarce resources particularly in countries heavily dependent on tourism. This chapter seeks to address this lacuna in scholarship through a theoretical explication of the nature of political issues and voter response. Applied to the development of a possible research agenda, this would aid in exploring the salience of tourism within electoral agendas from a relational perspective.
Research Progress on Ecological Protection and Restoration of Urban Wetlands in China

As urbanization course speeds up in China, urban wetlands are faced with a series of problems such as serious pollution, sharp decrease of area, eutrophication aggravation, acceleration of biotic intrusion, lack of management system and weak protection awareness. Ecological protection and restoration of urban wetlands become the research hotspots of city and wetland topics. This paper discusses the measures about ecological protection of urban wetlands in China and research progress on ecological restoration technologies, combines current situations of urban wetlands in China to propose countermeasures and suggestions on ecological protection and restoration of urban wetlands and provides beneficial reference for promoting virtuous circle of urban wetland ecosystem and driving comprehensive development of urban economic benefit and ecological benefit.
The Analysis on the Main Achievement and Its Reasons of Geographic Development in China Feudal Society's Flourishing Age

Based on the defining of the flourishing age on Chinese feudal society,it's divided into three great flourishing age: Han,Tang and Qing dynasties.Applying the method of analyzing and verifying the documents and classics,the study summarizes and excavates the main achievement of the geographic development in the three great flourishing age from some aspects,such as the thought of geography,geography adventure,cartography,gazetteers,geography about foreign lands and so on.It also inquires into the reasons for the development of geography during which are the flourishing age on China's feudal society as follows:(1)Stable political situation is the objective condition of the development of geography;(2)The wide territory provides a space for geography;(3)The rulers take geography seriously for strengthening the political power and the development of production;(4)The science and technology at that time promote geography;(5)It is a chance for geography to interflow with foreign lands on culture and religion.Lastly,this paper points out the track and trend of the development of geography during the flourishing age on Chinese feudal society and the honorable tradition in thousands of years.
Feminist critique of developmentalism: What’s in it for teachers?

Drawing on published feminist literature, this essay deconstructs developmentalism as a metanarrative that contributes to the oppression and exploitation of women and underpins educational practice. First, I examine feminist critiques of developmentalism, distinguishing between ‘insider critiques’ formulated by feminist psychologists evaluating and trying to improve traditional theories of human development and ‘outsider critiques’ articulated by feminists, both within and outside psychology, challenging science itself. Second, I address educational implications of the insider and outsider critiques of developmentalism. Educational reforms spawned by insider feminist critiques consist largely of efforts to make curriculum and pedagogy more ‘girl-friendly’. Reforms aligned with outsider feminist critiques call for ‘critique-friendly’ schooling that provides opportunities for reconceptualizing gender dualisms, critiquing school practices that strengthen dualisms and ongoing critique of educational reforms i...
The Historical Ideas on Global Development and the Enlargement of the Research Range on Chinese Historical Geography

In recent years,the research range on Chinese historical geography has been enlarged continuously: the time range has been widened;the subject fields have been divided and integrated;the discipline theory has been strengthened.With the enlargement of the space scope on Chinese historical geography,on the one hand,we should have global ideas about global historical geography and carry out it in Chinese historical geography;on the other hand,we should maintain the regional consciousness of Chinese historical geography and seek the inherent unity between the global character and the regional character.
THE EXACT COSMOLOGICAL SOLUTION TO THE DYNAMICAL EQUATIONS FOR THE BIANCHI-IX MODEL

Quantum geometrodynamics in extended phase space describes phenomenologically the integrated system "a physical object + observation means (a gravitational vacuum condensate)." The central place in this version of QGD belongs to the Schrodinger equation for a wave function of the Universe. An exact solution to the "conditionally-classical" set of equations in extended phase space for the Bianchi-IX model and the appropriate solution to the Schrodinger equation are considered. The physical adequacy of the obtained solutions to existing concepts about possible cosmological scenarios is demonstrated. The gravitational vacuum condensate is shown to be a cosmological evolution factor.
Some conclusions for noncritical string theory drawn from two and three point functions in the Liouville sector

Starting from the known expression for the three-point correlation functions for Liouville exponentials with generic real coefficients at we can prove the Liouville equation of motion at the level of three-point functions. Based on the analytical structure of the correlation functions we discuss a possible mass shell condition for excitations of noncritical strings and make some observations concerning correlators of Liouville fields.
Australian Aboriginal words in English : their origin and meaning

Words like boomerang and woomera, kangaroo and koala, mallee and mulga are quintessentially Australian. Australian Aboriginal Words in English is the definitive account of the history of these and other words borrowed from Aboriginal languages into English. It is also a fascinating insight into the contracts between the first Australians and the European settlers. 
In 1788 there were some 250 languages in use in Australia. This book begins with a general account of the nature and history of Aboriginal languages, and with profiles of those languages that have been most significant as sources of borrowings. The words are then grouped according to subject - birds, fish, flora, religion, implements, dwellings, and so on. For each word there is an entry, like that in a dictionary, giving the language the word comes from, the original pronunciation and meaning in that language, the date of its first written use in English, and its present meaning. Illustrative quotations are given in many instances. 
 
This second edition of the book has been fully revised, adding more than 30 new words and bringing the book fully up to date with contemporary scholarship. Chapter 6 - on the way English words have taken on new meanings and forms to describe Australia's indigenous inhabitants - is completely new.

This is a second edition of the book fully revised, adding more than 30 new words and bringing the book fully up to date with contemporary scholarship. Chapter 6 - on the way English words have taken on new meanings and forms to describe Australia's indigenous inhabitants - is completely new. 
 
 
This book is the definitive account of the history of numerous words borrowed from Aboriginal languages into English. It also provided insights into contacts between the first Australians and the European settlers. This new and thoroughly revised edition is supplied with scientific labels for each entry. It is highly innovative in that it provides a comprehensive analysis of words borrowed from Aboriginal languages into English and their meanings. It offers a new perspective on contact between the indigenous population and white Australian settlers reflected in the language. 
 
 
This book represents a new milestone in the explorations of the influence of Australian Aboriginal languages on English, and in the investigation of language and culture interaction since the White Invasion of Australia. Major significance of this book lies in its encyclopaedic breadth and width. It is a unique resource, for linguists, anthropologists and anyone interested in Australian languages and culture. This book received laudatory reviews in journals, and was reissued several times, reflecting its appreciation by the public.
New Singular and Nonsingular Colliding Wave Solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar Theory

A technique is given to generate coupled scalar field solutions in colliding Einstein-Maxwell (EM) waves. By employing the Bell-Szekeres solution as seed and depending on the chosen scalar field, it is possible to construct nonsingular solutions. If the original EM solution is already singular, addition of scalar fields does not make the physics any better. In particular, scalar field solution that is transformable to spherical symmetry is plagued with singularities.
Sustainable financing for ocean and coastal management in Jamaica: The potential for revenues from tourist user fees

This study explores the feasibility of implementing a sustainable funding mechanism for ocean and coastal management in Jamaica. Results show that tourists are more willing to pay for an “environmental tax” than a general “tourism development tax”. The study found that an environmental surcharge of US$2 per person could generate $3.4M per year for management with 0.2% rate of decline in tourist visitation. Negative impacts from the imposition of additional taxes on annual tourist visitation rates could be minimised by providing information on how the revenues from the tax will be allocated for management activities.
Towards a Political Theory of Crisis: Policy and Resistance across Europe

This article analyses the Great Recession in terms of a movement from a discourse of financial crisis to a crisis of sovereign debt to the current phase of the politics of austerity and cuts. It suggests that the unifying factor in the response of policy-makers to the crisis is the attempt to recompose class relations and tighten market-based constraints over labour power and money. The strategy represents a clear illustration of the “political use of crisis” to reaffirm the stark reality of the “cash nexus.” Selective state intervention to contain and prevent the “contagion” of the crisis has increasingly politicized the management of the economy and fueled debate about the nature of money, the character of the state, and the morality of capitalist social relations. This debate is being conducted by a growing number of resistance movements in Europe and threatens to turn an economic crisis into a political crisis of the state.
To Learn About Nature Look to Nature Itself [Reflections and Reviews of Past Predictions]

On a dinner cruise through Matsushima, in early summer 1999, I filled my plate at the buffet and sat down at an empty table. I soon was joined by six colleagues. Looking around the table, I realized that I was surrounded by six of the most important leaders in the field of hearing research. Then I realized that the majority of them were electrical engineers by training and commented on that fact. It turned out that five were trained as electrical engineers. The sixth, trained as a physiologist, spent his career to date collaborating with an electrical engineer at MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics. And he is an excellent engineer in his own right. By their biomedical colleagues, all six are considered to be biologists of the first rank. But each of them, at core, remains an engineer. What each of them does is reverse engineeringVreverse engineering of systems, devices, communication strategies, and signal processing strategies designed by nature rather than by other engineers.

Secondary structure and dynamics study of the intrinsically disordered silica-mineralizing peptide P5 S3 during silicic acid condensation and silica decondensation.

The silica forming repeat R5 of sil1 from Cylindrotheca fusiformis was the blueprint for the design of P5 S3 , a 50-residue peptide which can be produced in large amounts by recombinant bacterial expression. It contains 5 protein kinase A target sites and is highly cationic due to 10 lysine and 10 arginine residues. In the presence of supersaturated orthosilicic acid P5 S3 enhances silica-formation whereas it retards the dissolution of amorphous silica (SiO2 ) at globally undersaturated concentrations. The secondary structure of P5 S3 during these 2 processes was studied by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, complemented by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of the peptide in the absence of silicate. The NMR studies of dual-labeled (13 C, 15 N) P5 S3 revealed a disordered structure at pH 2.8 and 4.5. Within the pH range of 4.5-9.5 in the absence of silicic acid, the CD data showed a disordered structure with the suggestion of some polyproline II character. Upon silicic acid polymerization and during dissolution of preformed silica, the CD spectrum of P5 S3 indicated partial transition into an α-helical conformation which was transient during silica-dissolution. The secondary structural changes observed for P5 S3 correlate with the presence of oligomeric/polymeric silicic acid, presumably due to P5 S3 -silica interactions. These P5 S3 -silica interactions appear, at least in part, ionic in nature since negatively charged dodecylsulfate caused similar perturbations to the P5 S3 CD spectrum as observed with silica, while uncharged ß-d-dodecyl maltoside did not affect the CD spectrum of P5 S3 . Thus, with an associated increase in α-helical character, P5 S3 influences both the condensation of silicic acid into silica and its decondensation back to silicic acid.
Deposition of hydroxyapatite film on titanium by ultra-fine particle beam

A hydroxyapatite (HA) film was fabricated on a titanium (Ti) plate by an aerosol deposition method (ADM) using an HA submicron-size particle beam. In this process, neither substrate nor HA particles were heated during deposition. The effect of varying the beam incident angle on the HA film formation was investigated. The incidence angle of the beam was varied from 0° to 60° with a period of 20° by rotation of the substrate. Adhesion strength between the HA film and the Ti plate was increased as the incident angle increased although its thickness was decreased. In the films formed at an incident angle of 60°, the adhesion strength was found to be higher than 30 MPa. Possible formation mechanisms of the HA film dependent on the incident angle were discussed.
Beyond Translation: Essays toward a Modern Philology

"This is not only a new philology but a new American linguistic philology. . . . Becker's harvest over a lifetime will be widely welcomed and respected." -Paul Friedrich, University of Chicago." . . a book of extraordinary quality and importance." -James Boyd White, University of MichiganHow does Ralph Waldo Emerson sound in Kawi?In this collection of essays A. L. Becker develops a new approach to translation he calls modern philology, an approach that insists, beyond translation, on the sorting out of ambiguities and contexts of meaning. Becker describes how texts in Burmese, Javanese, and Malay differ profoundly from English in all the ways they have meaning: in the games they play, the worlds they constitute, the memories they evoke, and the silences they maintain. In each of these dimensions there are excesses and inadequacies of meaning that make a difference across languages.Drawn from over three decades of studying, teaching, translating and writing about Southeast Asian languages and literatures, the essays collected here for the first time are particular accounts of Becker's experiences in attempting to translate into or out of Burmese, Javanese, and Malay a variety of texts. They describe such things as the building of a Javanese shadowplay, how a Sanskrit story about the language of animals has been used in Indonesia, and some of the profound semantic silences a translator faces in taking an anecdote by Gregory Bateson from English into Malay.In linguistics, the essays emphasize important kinds of nonuniversality in all aspects of language and look toward a new theory of language grounded in American pragmatism. In anthropology, the essays demonstrate that much of culture can be described in terms of text-building strategies. And for the comparativist, whether in literature, history, rhetoric, music, or psychology, the essays provide a new array of tools of comparison across distant languages and cultures.A. L. Becker is Professor Emeritus of Linguistics and Anthropology, University of Michigan.

The characterization of nanostructured CVD Ni powders using transmission electron microscopy

Studies of Ni powders using a state-of-the-art transmission electron microscope with a field-emission electron source show that this instrument can be an invaluable tool for studying the morphology and character of nanostructured Ni powder manufactured by a commercial nickel carbonyl vapor deposition process. This study has revealed the presence of surface coatings, including NiO and turbostratic graphite on some powders, which can degrade the electrical conductivity of the powder. Due to the high curvature of hexagonal carbon (graphene) planes, and subsequent high density of defects, the turbostratic graphitic nanocarbon may exhibit new properties.
