    This paper describes a thesis project in which a visually-oriented design utility is constructed in Interlisp-D for the Xerox 1108 Artificial Intelligence Workstation. This utility aids in the design of Regular Expression Parsers by visually simulating the operation of a parser. A textual program, suitable for utilization in the construction of a compiler scanner or other similar processor may be produced by the utility

    African Water: Supporting African involvement in the EU Framework Programme.

    Get PDF
    Water researchers in developing countries have yet to take full advantage of the funding and collaborative research opportunities presented by the EU Framework Programme. There are a variety of reasons for this, such as insufficient information and a lack of previous experience. The African Water initiative aims to increase the involvement of African water researchers through a range of activities including communication and dissemination, capacity building and development, and complementary initiatives. The project has demonstrated that there is a demand for such sector-specific support activities. However, African Water is a small component of a much larger process of partnership between the developed and the less-developed countries of the world, involving many different European and African organisations working across political, institutional and technical domains, and complementing the wide range of actions already being undertaken

    Using the plan–do–study–act (PDSA) cycle to make change in general practice

    Get PDF
    As new members of the team, GP trainees can provide a fresh perspective on practice systems. They are, therefore, ideally placed to enact change within practices. However, GP trainees may feel ill-equipped to suggest and deliver change to their practices. This article will explore the concept of change management using the plan–do–study–act cycle and consider how to initiate change by providing a structure to guide the process

    Facing both ways : Yan Fu, Hu Shi, and Chen Duxiu : Chinese intellectuals and the meaning of modern science, 1895-1923

    Get PDF
    The concern of Chinese intellectuals with the idea of modern science from the West in the transition generation from 1895 to 1923 was fundamentally a concern about national survival and modernity. The value and meaning that accrued to science as method -- as a thinking technique -- and to the evolutionary ideas of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer as the science of choice among Chinese intellectuals of this period, was due to belief or disbelief in the power of these ideas to describe, explain, or solve the problematic of modernity in a Chinese context
