The Department of Defense (DoD) Air Force Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support (CALS) Test Network (AFCTN) is conducting tests of the military standard for the Automated Interchange of Technical Information, MIL-STD-1840A, and its companion suite of military specifications. The AFCTN is a DoD sponsored confederation of voluntary participants from industry and government managed by the Electronic Systems Center (ESC). The primary objective of the AFCTN is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CALS standards for technical data interchange and to demonstrate the technical capabilities and operational suitability of those standards. Two general categories of tests are performed to evaluate the standards; formal and informal.

The purpose of the informal test, reported in this QSTR, was to analyze Auto-trol Technology's interpretation and use of the CALS standards in transferring technical illustration data. Auto-trol used its CALS Technical Data Interchange System, which consists of Sun Sparcstation/SunOS hardware and Auto-trol Series 5000 v9.l software, to produce data in accordance with the standards, and delivered it to the AFCTN technical staff using an internet electronic transfer. The stated goal was to evaluate the data and not the MIL-STD-1840A format. No Document Declaration file was delivered with this first test.

The purpose of the informal test, reported in this QSTR, was to analyze Texas Instruments' interpretation and use of the CALS standards, in transferring technical publication illustration data. Texas Instruments used its CALS Technical Data Interchange System to produce data, in accordance with the standards, and delivered it to the AFCTN technical staff using an electronic transfer.

A study examined whether illustrations that must be attended to in order to make sense of a text hinder decoding by encouraging dependence on such illustrations for interpretation of text, both for decoding and for answering questions. Subjects--167 first graders--were asked to read four stories, two of which were taken from basal readers and two of which were children's trade books. One trade book and one basal story each had illustrations that were crucial to story comprehension, and one of each had nonessential, or redundant, illustrations. The stories were presented to each child in one of four versions: text only, illustrations only, text plus illustrations, and revised text. After the students read the story aloud, they were given an oral comprehension test and asked to read a list of five words taken from the story. Decoding errors and reading time were recorded. Results showed that first graders who read poorly answered comprehension questions better when the texts they read were illustrated, and about equally well regardless of whether the illustrations were redundant or crucial; good readers answered more questions correctly on texts that did not depend on crucial illustrations, regardless of whether or not the illustrations were actually present.

Perturbation theory applied to laguerre functions

Data previously compiled on the year to year variability of spectral profile crop growth parameters for spring and winter wheat in Kansas, Oklahoma, and the Dakotas were used with a profile model to develop graphs illustrating spectral profile crop growth curves for a number of years and a number of spring and winter wheat segments. These curves show the apparent variability in spectral profiles for wheat from one year to another within the same segment and from one segment to another within the same year.

This article is from Surgical Neurology International , volume 4 . Abstract Background:: Various vascular, neoplastic, and epileptogenic pathologies occur in the mediobasal temporal region. A transsylvian translimen insula (TTI) approach can be used as an alternative to temporal transcortical approach to the mediobasal temporal region. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the surgical anatomy of the TTI approach, including the gyral, sulcal, and vascular anatomy in and around the limen insula. The use of this approach is illustrated in the resection of a complex arteriovenous malformation. Methods:: The TTI approach to the mediobasal temporal region was performed on three silicone-injected cadaveric heads. The gyral, sulcal, and arterial anatomy of the limen insula was studied in six formalin-fixed injected hemispheres. Results:: The TTI approach provided access to the anterior and middle segments of the mediobasal temporal lobe region as well as allowing access to temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. Using this approach we were able to successfully resect an arteriovenous malformation of the dominant medial temporal lobe. Conclusion:: The TTI approach provides a viable surgical route to the region of mediobasal temporal lobe region. This approach offers an advantage over the temporal transcortical route in that there is less risk of damage to optic radiations and speech area in the dominant hemisphere.

William Griffith Thomas was a pastor, teacher and co-founder of the Dallas Theological Seminary. This book contains nine devotional commentaries on prayers from Paul's letters to the churches at Thessalonica, Colossi and Ephesus. Thomas is theologically conservative. His commentaries both look at the meaning of the text and apply it to the heart. Summary by MaryAnn.

7Charley's Aunt

By Brandon Thomas

The girlfriends are coming to visit the chaps at college, but of course they can't stay unless there is a proper chaperone. So what could be more reasonable that getting a friend from the Drama Club to dress up and pretend to be Charley's Aunt? Simple and sure to work! What could go wrong? Howsabout the real aunt arriving? This play has been revived and adapted numerous times including as films, a Broadway musical, and even an opera. (NOTE: the script contains an almost overwhelming number of stage directions by the author telling each actor what emotion to show, where to move, and even how to create some of the visual effects. Because the directions give a good idea of the on-stage pandemonium one would see at a production of this farce, I have chosen to leave the directions in this audio performance.) - Summary by ToddHW <BR><BR>Cast list:<BR> STEPHEN SPETTIGUE, Solicitor, Oxford: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/12500">Foon</a><br> COLONEL SIR FRANCIS CHESNEY, BART., Late Indian Service: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8425">Larry Wilson</a><br> JACK CHESNEY, Graduate at St. Olde's College, Oxford: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/12431">Tom Daley</a><br> CHARLEY WYKEHAM, Graduate at St. Olde's College, Oxford: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11905">Wolfgang Bas</a><br> LORD FANCOURT BABBERLEY, Graduate at St. Olde's College, Oxford: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10789">Tomas Peter</a><br> BRASSETT, A College Scout: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a><br> DONNA-LUCIA D'ALVADOREZ, From Brazil: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10179">Sonia</a><br> AMY SPETTIGUE, Spettigue's Niece: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10614">Leanne Yau</a><br> KITTY VERDUN, Spettigue's Ward: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6281">Beth Thomas</a><br> ELA DELAHAY: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11790">TJ Burns</a><br> Stage Directions: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/11084">Devorah Allen</a><br> Edited by: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a>

8Poems by Edward Thomas

By Edward Thomas

Born in 1878, Thomas published his first book when he was 18. Having married while still at university, he supported his family by writing articles and books, some in the form of what we might call slow travel writing, compiled on walks throughout England and Wales. He came to poetry late, encouraged by Robert Frost, and wrote 144 poems between 1914, and 1917 when he was killed, two years after enlisting, and shortly after arriving in France. <br><br> His poetic life coincided with WW1, and though not a war poet, his is the poetry of loss, of life as it would never be again. What is powerful to the English imagination is his depiction of the fragility of the English countryside. This is inseparable from his deep understanding of the longings and regrets of those who would die. Transience and mortality are at the heart of his work. This is true in one of the country’s favourite poems, to be found on this recording: Adlestrop. He is important to other poets in that, at his best, his poetry is quietly, sometimes coldly, conversational, with a slow beat that takes us with him as he thinks through from line to line, and wraps us in his vision of life and the natural world. (Summary by Judith Brennan)

Jātaka tales are ancient Indian folktales that form a part of Buddhist teaching, telling stories of the Buddha’s past lives. Akin to Aesop’s fables, some strikingly similar, they urge the listener to moral behavior and often, more than that, point a way to real insight. - Summary by Scotty Smith

Two fifteen-year-old boys---the younger of whom may have been fourteen---decide to hunt and trap away from home in the north woods of Maine. A true recounting of their adventures can be found here, though the years that passed before the tale was written down may have added a slight bit of exaggeration. Then again, they set out in the winter of 1875 and all that's written could very well be the complete and honest truth! The listener may wish to listen first to Section 18 of this recording---Notes on Maine Animals---as familiarity with these will enhance an understanding of the memoir.

An explanation of the concept of industrial democracy and its relation to capitalism. (Summary by progressingamerica)

In terms of population, in terms of development and in terms of wealth, Victoria boomed in the 1850s and 1860s due to the Gold Rush. Undeniably, the colony had money to burn. Surprise port visits by the Russian corvette Bogatyr and the Confederate warship Shenandoah in the 1860s awakened in Victoria a deep sense of vulnerability, and Victorians set their minds to a new domestic project – a decades long pursuit of security. That effort would ultimately give rise to extensive coastal fortifications, militia and artillery formations both voluntary and professional, sea mines, and a small but not inconsequential naval flotilla whose backbone would be the formidable ironclad H.M.V.S. Cerberus. Not that these efforts were confined to Victoria alone. The not-infrequently perilous straits of the Mother Country as it navigated the treacherous shoals of European politics and global empire provided ample reasons for insomnia. To varying degrees the other states too had constituted forces, and most made a start at acquiring ‘warships’—an assemblage tending more to the ‘dinky’ side than that term might otherwise suggest. But where naval matters were concerned New South Wales made something of a false start, while Queensland and South Australia simply started late. Whether this is because the issue didn’t resonate as much in the other colonies, or whether Victoria simply had larger resources to sink into an inherently (economically) unproductive project is not immediately obvious. Efforts _were_ made in all the colonies, however and joint defence and a federal fleet would be a not insignificant impetus towards Federation. The Australian colonies would largely abandon armaments acquisition with the depression of the 1890s, but the arrival of Theodore Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet in 1908 exercised popular imagination, and the recently federated Commonwealth of Australia set about acquiring a new navy. This new Royal Australian Navy, lead by the battle-cruiser HMAS Australia, steamed into Sydney Harbour for the first time in late 1913. This new institution would be tested far more strenuously than the naval forces of the unfederated colonies ever were.
