Love and Marriage in the Novels of Jane Austen

ジェーン・オースティンの小説6作品は、主に理想的な夫選びについて描かれている。『高慢と偏見』、『分別と多感』、『エマ』における結婚および結婚と財産との関係について分析。Jane Austen’s six novels, written at the end of the 18th and early 19th centuries, are mainly about the search for a suitable husband. This paper will discuss marriage and its connection to money and property in three of Austen’s novels: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. I will also contrast Austen’s portrayal of love with that of Emily Brontë’s in Wuthering Heights

Software integration testing based on communication coverage criteria and partial model generation

This paper considers the problem of integration testing the components of a timed distributed software system. We assume that communication between the components is specified using timed interface automata and use computational tree logic (CTL) to define communication-based coverage criteria that refer to send- and receive-statements and communication paths. The proposed method enables testers to focus during component integration on such parts of the specification, e.g. behaviour specifications or Markovian usage models, that are involved in the communication between components to be integrated. A more specific application area of this approach is the integration of test-models, e.g. a transmission gear can be tested based on separated models for the driver behaviour, the engine condition, and the mechanical and hydraulical transmission states. Given such a state-based specification of a distributed system and a concrete coverage goal, a model checker is used in order to determine the coverage or generate test sequences that achieve the goal. Given the generated test sequences we derive a partial test-model of the components from which the test sequences are derived. The partial model can be used to drive further testing and can also be used as the basis for producing additional partial models in incremental integration testing. While the process of deriving the test sequences could suffer from a combinatorial explosion, the effort required to generate the partial model is polynomial in the number of test sequences and their length. Thus, where it is not feasible to produce test sequences that achieve a given type of coverage it is still possible to produce a partial model on the basis of test sequences generated to achieve some other criterion. As a result, the process of generating a partial model has the potential to scale to large industrial software systems. While a particular model checker, UPPAAL, was used, it should be relatively straightforward to adapt the approach for use with other CTL based model checkers. A potential additional benefit of the approach is that it provides a visual description of the state-based testing of distributed systems, which may be beneficial in other contexts such as education and comprehension

A simple aid to footrot control

Two bags of superphosphate - suitably placed to form a combined seat and sheep-holding cradle - have enabled a Bridgetown farmer to carry out extensive footrot control work with only a fraction of the physical stain which usually demands

Santa Gertrudis cattle

A GROWING number of Australian cattlemen, distributed throughout most of the States of the Commonwealth, are experimenting with Santa Gertrudis Cattle— an American breed evolved from an admixture of five-eighths Shorthorn and three eighths Zebu blood. Bulls of this new breed sell freely at four-figure prices and are in demand for grading-up ; pure-bred females are not sold, but remain a closely-guarded monopoly of the parent studs

Preparing and using rawhide

Untanned bullock or horse hide—usually known as rawhide or greenhide—has played an important role in agriculture in many countries for centuries. It needs little preparation and combines tremendous tensile strength with light weight and durability, so is an ideal material for many farm uses

Ropes, knots and splices

For hoisting and hauling, for lashing loads, restraining livestock and a hundred other farm tasks, good ropes are unexcelled. They are light to handle, take up little storage space and —if given fair usage and reasonable care—will last for years

Build your own low-cost library

Although I have managed to acquire a fairly extensive library of farming books, find that the most useful volumes on my bookshelves are not the products of the recognised publishing houses. For a number of years I have been making collections of the Department of Agriculture bulletins on various farming subjects. These, when bound and indexed for easy reference are far more informative than most of the standard publications

Farm fencing hints - gates and gadgets

Apart from the fact that they add immeasurably to the appearance of a property, good gates are permanent assets—sound investments which pay generous dividends over the years, both in peace of mind and in the saving of many man-hours of valuable time
