International and Area Studies Workshop â Germanic Collections
The Center for Research Libraries, along with the Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials (SALALM) and the Western European Studies Section (WESS) of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), is co-sponsoring an International and Area Studies Workshop for Librarians on Friday, June 26, 2015. The workshop is timed to coincide with the ALA Annual 2015 in San Francisco. The full-day workshop is designed to assist librarians who are newly responsible for Western European and Latin American humanities and social sciences collecting. It will cover publishing trends in Western Europe and Latin America, providing reference services, and tips for getting up to speed quickly as a librarian newly assigned to cover these world areas. Specifically, the workshop includes presentations on Latin America, Spain, and Portugal, Francophone and Italian Studies, and Germanic Collections.https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/lib_present/1019/thumbnail.jp

Simulation studies of STOL airplane operations in metropolitan downtown and airport air traffic control environments
The operating problems and equipment requirements for STOL airplanes in terminal area operations in simulated air traffic control (ATC) environments were studied. These studies consisted of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) arrivals and departures in the New York area to and from a downtown STOL port, STOL runways at John F. Kennedy International Airport, or STOL runways at a hypothetical international airport. The studies were accomplished in real time by using a STOL airplane flight simulator. An experimental powered lift STOL airplane and two in-service airplanes having high aerodynamic lift (i.e., STOL) capability were used in the simulations
The UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education
This is a part of a collection of materials developed by the HEAcademy Subject Centre for Languages, linguistics and area studies. The materials provide reflective activities designed to engage teachers with some of the key issues in working with international students and practical ideas for ways in which these can be addressed. They will be of particular interest to new staff or anyone new to working with international students
Summary of papers presented at the second conference of the International Research Forum on Monetary Policy
The International Research Forum on Monetary Policy held its second conference on November 14 and 15, 2003. The organization is sponsored by the European Central Bank, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Center for German and European Studies, and the Center for Financial Studies. It was formed to encourage research on monetary policy issues that are relevant from a global perspective, and it organizes conferences that are held alternately in the euro area and the United States. ; The 2003 conference, held in Washington, D.C., featured ten papers. Among the topics examined were the Great Inflation of the 1970s in the United States and the influence of learning, or adjustment of expectations, on policy outcomes; the tradeoffs between rules-based and discretionary monetary policy; the 1999 formation of the European Economic and Monetary Union and whether it altered the degree of economic integration between the United States and the euro area; the potential benefits of greater competition in the euro area; and optimal monetary policy in an international setting.Monetary policy ; International finance
IR, area studies and IPE: rethinking the study of China's international relations
This paper attempts to provide a new framework of analysis for understanding Chinaâs international relations. It argues that âtraditionalâ conceptions of international relations, based on âstatistâ and ârealistâ methodology, do not capture the dynamics of Chinaâs international relations in an era of globalisation. Rather, we need to consider the analytical tools of international political economy as a means of breaking down the analytical barriers between the domestic and the international, and between politics and economics. At the same time as enriching the study of China, such an approach can also enrich the discipline of international political economy, by breaking away from the OECD-centric nature of much research in the field

Mini-Proceedings of ECT Workshop "Strangeness in Nuclei"
This workshop brought together international experts in the research area of
strangeness in nuclei physics, working on theory as well as on experiments, to
discuss the present status, to develop new methods of analysis and to have the
opportunity for brainstorming towards future studies, going towards a deeper
understanding of the hot topics in the low-energy QCD in the strangeness
