Dynamically Stable Legged Locomotion (September 1985-Septembers1989)

This report documents our work in exploring active balance for dynamic legged systems for the period from September 1985 through September 1989. The purpose of this research is to build a foundation of knowledge that can lead both to the construction of useful legged vehicles and to a better understanding of animal locomotion. In this report we focus on the control of biped locomotion, the use of terrain footholds, running at high speed, biped gymnastics, symmetry in running, and the mechanical design of articulated legs.

La Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País de Málaga (1906-1926) : estudio histórico-educativo.

La escuela moderna de Valencia (1906-1914) : una alternativa de educaci??n popular

Historiar el nacimiento (1906), y actividades de la Escuela Moderna de Valencia hasta el regreso de Samuel Torner como director en 1914. Escuela Moderna de Valencia 1906-1914, y el racionalismo pedag??gico valenciano. An??lisis del contexto socio-hist??rico y educativo. Estudio de la Escuela Moderna de Valencia: origen. Biobibliograf??a de dos de sus directores, pr??ctica pedag??gica, labor editorial, etc. An??lisis de la importancia del racionalismo escolar en la Comunidad Valenciana. Prensa local de la Hemeroteca Municipal de Valencia. Prensa obrera y las revistas Humanidad Nueva, Escuela Moderna y Humanidad del International Instituut Voor Sociale Geschiendemis de Amsterdam. Documentos de los Archivos Municipal y Universitario de Valencia, Archivo Hist??rico Nacional y de la Diputaci??n de Valencia. M??todo heur??stico, investigaci??n hist??rica, m??todo anal??tico-descriptivo. La Escuela Moderna de Valencia es la m??s pr??xima al modelo de Ferrer i Guardia y pervivir?? durante dos d??cadas. Tiene en com??n con la barcelonesa la id??ntica concepci??n te??rica y metodol??gica de la acci??n educativa, la influencia ideol??gica y pedag??gica que ejercen, el competente profesorado racionalista, el apoyo del republicanismo local, que colabora en gran medida en su estabilizaci??n y difusi??n, y las intensas relaciones con las sociedades obreras locales. Pero en contraste con la barcelonesa, la Escuela Valenciana recibe subvenciones municipales, proporcionadas por la mayor??a republicana del Ayuntamiento, proporciona la posibilidad de la coeducaci??n a los adultos, y abre sus puertas a clases populares en virtud de cuotas mensuales reducidas. La expansi??n del racionalismo escolar en la Comunidad Valenciana es intensa e importante, pudiendose cuestionar la aseveraci??n de Ivonne Tur??n al circunscribir casi exclusivamente a Catalu??a el movimiento racionalista. La sistem??tica persecuci??n de la Escuela Moderna y otras escuelas racionalistas valencianas, contradice la apreciaci??n de R. Carr, al considerar que la derecha clerical ve su principal enemigo a la instituci??n libre de ense??anza y no a las escuelas racionalistas o laicas. La experiencia escolar racionalista en el Pa??s Valenciano puede considerarse como las m??s importante iniciativa educativa desarrollada en el ??mbito de la educaci??n de las clases populares en la primera d??cada del siglo XX.

Metodismo e setores populares: análise da proposta de trabalho do Instituto Central do Povo (Rio de Janeiro, 1906-1930)

A prática educativa protestante no Brasi I se ex pressou principalmente através de colégios destinados as camadas dominantes da sociedade. No entanto, existiram também outras escolas, para atendimento a alunos provenientes das classes populares. No caso específico dos metodistas, foram cria - das escolas paroquiais e, no Rio de Janeiro, na zona portuária, surgiu o Instituto Central do Povo, com ativida - des ligadas a educação, saúde e higiene, trabalho, lazer, além da pregação religiosa. Este tipo de proposta de trabalho foi liderado por setores da igreja metodista que revelavam especial in teresse pelas questões sociais. De fato, desde sua origem na Inglaterra existem evidências de que os metodistas se preocupavam com as condições sociais a que o povo da epoca estava submetido, como se pode ver nos discursos de seus líderes e mesmo na sua prática. Posteriormente, ao transplantar-se o meto - dismo para a América, persistiram as discussões acerca des sas questoes, inclusive provocando divisões internas. Embora a orientação predominante, trazida para o Brasil pelos missionários, tenha sido a influenciada p~ 10 pietismo e pela fi losofia 1 iberal, em íntima relação com o processo de consolidação do capitalismo na sociedade norte-americana durante o Século XIX, é necessário reconhecer entre os metodistas a existência de grupos que defenderam o envolvimento dos cristãos e da igreja nas lu tas sociais, em defesa dos setores populares. Dentro do quadro do protestantismo norte-americano esses grupos se fil iam à corrente conhecida como Evangelho Social.A tentativa de atuação dos missionários metodis tas, 1 igados a esta tendência, que vieram ao Brasil teve, porem, alcance limitado na medida em que esbarrou em di - versos obstáculos: nos fundamentos teóricos sobre os quais as atividades foram concebidas, nas dificuldades de inser ção num contexto social diferente e na própria situação de inferioridade numérica dessa corrente dentro da Igreja.

Geographic Variation of Notified Ross River Virus Infections in Queensland, Australia, 1985-1996

The spatial and temporal variations of Ross River virus infections reported in Queensland, Australia, between 1985 and 1996 were studied by using the Geographic Information System. The notified cases of Ross River virus infection came from 489 localities between 1985 and 1988, 805 between 1989 and 1992, and 1,157 between 1993 and 1996 (chi2(df = 2) = 680.9; P < 0.001). There was a marked increase in the number of localities where the cases were reported by 65 percent for the period of 1989-1992 and 137 percent for 1993-1996, compared with that for 1985-1988. The geographic distribution of the notified Ross River virus cases has expanded in Queensland over recent years. As Ross River virus disease has impacted considerably on tourism and industry, as well as on residents of affected areas, more research is required to explore the causes of the geographic expansion of the notified Ross River virus infections.

Anti-metabolic effects of Galanthus nivalis agglutinin and wheat germ agglutinin on nymphal stages of the common brown leafhopper using a novel artificial diet system

The common brown leafhopper, Orosius orientalis (Matsumura) (Homoptera: Cicadellidae), previously described as Orosius argentatus (Evans), is an important vector of several viruses and phytoplasmas worldwide. In Australia, phytoplasmas vectored by O. orientalis cause a range of economically important diseases, including legume little leaf (Hutton & Grylls, 1956), tomato big bud (Osmelak, 1986), lucerne witches broom (Helson, 1951), potato purple top wilt (Harding & Teakle, 1985), and Australian lucerne yellows (Pilkington et al., 2004). Orosius orientalis also transmits Tobacco yellow dwarf virus (TYDV; genus Mastrevirus, family Geminiviridae) to beans, causing bean summer death disease (Ballantyne, 1968), and to tobacco, causing tobacco yellow dwarf disease (Hill, 1937, 1941). TYDV has only been recorded in Australia to date. Both diseases result in significant production and quality losses (Ballantyne, 1968; Thomas, 1979; Moran & Rodoni, 1999). Although direct damage caused by leafhopper feeding has been observed, it is relatively minor compared to the losses resulting from disease (P Tr E bicki, unpubl.).

Formative and reflective measurement and validation mismatch in survey research : an archival analysis of information systems success constructs 1985-2007

The generic IS-success constructs first identified by DeLone and McLean (1992) continue to be widely employed in research. Yet, recent work by Petter et al (2007) has cast doubt on the validity of many mainstream constructs employed in IS research over the past 3 decades; critiquing the almost universal conceptualization and validation of these constructs as reflective when in many studies the measures appear to have been implicitly operationalized as formative. Cited examples of proper specification of the Delone and McLean constructs are few, particularly in light of their extensive employment in IS research. This paper introduces a four-stage formative construct development framework: Conceive > Operationalize > Respond > Validate (CORV). Employing the CORV framework in an archival analysis of research published in top outlets 1985-2007, the paper explores the extent of possible problems with past IS research due to potential misspecification of the four application-related success dimensions: Individual-Impact, Organizational-Impact, System-Quality and Information-Quality. Results suggest major concerns where there is a mismatch of the Respond and Validate stages. A general dearth of attention to the Operationalize and Respond stages in methodological writings is also observed.
