Constructing Melchior Lorichs's 'Panorama of Constantinople'
In Constructing Melchior Lorichs's Panorama of Constantinople, Nigel Westbrook, Kenneth Rainsbury Dark, and Rene Van Meeuwen propose that Melchior Lorichs's 1559 Panorama of Constantinople was created by using a viewing grid. The panorama is thus a reliable graphic source for the lost or since-altered Ottoman and Byzantine buildings of the city. The panorama appears to lie outside the conventional symbolic mode of topographical depiction common for its period and constitutes a rare "scientific" record of an encounter of a perspicacious observer with a vast subject. The drawing combines elements of allegory with extensive empirical observation. Several unknown structures, shown on the drawing, have been located in relation to the present-day topography of Istanbul, as a test-case for further research
PRELIMINARY REVISIONS OF SOME GENERA OF MALAYSIAN PAPILIONACEAE IV - A REVISION OF ORMOSIA
In this revision 11 species have been admitted for the Malaysian Archipelago, including 0. stipidacea which is described as new, from Brunei. A key, synonymy, and distribution are given. Ten species and one variety are reduced; three of these reductions (under O. macrodisea) are tentative, as of two of them no types were available. Another species, 0. villamilii Merr., is reduced to Pericopsis moonii. O. scandens, of which I ' have also seen no material, I have not been able to place; its pod is unknown
PRELIMINARY REVISIONS OF SOME GENERA OF MALAYSIAN PAPILIONACEAE I
The revisions have been performed by Miss M. S. van Meeuwen (Pycnospora, Smithia, Uraria), H. P. Nooteboom (Galactia, Moghania, Rhynehosia, Stylosanthes, Zornia), and C. G. G. J. van Steenis (Cyclocarpa, Neocollettia)
Self-directed learning in adaptive training systems: A proposition for shared control
Van Meeuwen, L. W., Brand-Gruwel, S., Van Merriënboer, J. J. G., Kirschner, P. A., & De Bock, J. J. P. R. (2010, April). Self-directed learning in adaptive training systems: A proposition for shared control. Poster presented at 1st International Air Transport and Operations Symposium. Delft, The Netherlands.In aviation, Air-Traffic Control professionals must be able to adapt
to continuing changes in technologies. Professionals in such an
environment must learn how to act upon the changes and they
must learn how to maintain expertise to meet the skills required in
the changed situation. As a consequence they should be able to
indentify and study learning materials that fit their learning needs
and meet their set learning goals. Learners are called self-directed
learners when they can formulate own learning needs, set own
learning goals, and can identify human and material resources for
an optimal learning process. These skills can be defined as selfdirected
learning (SDL) skills and training of these skills is desired.
We focus on SDL skills learners need to develop and we plead for
a shared controlled adaptive training system which can support
the development of these skills.Kenniscentrum Mainport Schipho
