Abstract:
Science in the early modern world depended on openness in scholarly communication. On the other hand, a web of commercial, political, and religious conflicts required broad measures of secrecy and confidentiality; similar measures were integral to scholarly rivalries and plagiarism. This paper analyzes confidentiality and secrecy in intellectual and technological knowledge exchange via letters and drawings. We argue that existing approaches to understanding knowledge exchange in early modern Europe – which focus on the Republic of Letters as a unified entity of corresponding scholars – can be improved upon by analyzing multilayered networks of communication. We describe a data model to analyze circles of confidence and cultures of secrecy in intellectual and technological knowledge exchanges. Finally, we discuss the outcomes of a first experiment focusing on the question of how personal and professional/official relationships interact with confidentiality and secrecy, based on a case study of the correspondence of Hugo Grotius.

Abstract:
An alternative approach to classical correspondence analysis was developed in [3] and involves decomposing the matrix of Pearson contingencies of a contingency table using orthogonal polynomials rather than via singular value decomposition. It is especially useful in analysing contingency tables which are of an ordinal nature. This short paper demonstrates that the confidence circles of Lebart, Morineau and Warwick (1984) for the classical approach can be applied to ordinal correspondence analysis. The advantage of the circles in analysing a contingency table is that the researcher can graphically identify the row and column categories that contribute or not to the hypothesis of independence.

Abstract:
Abstract How can student-teachers learn efficient ways to encourage sustainability thinking in their pupils and fulfil the competence aims on sustainability outlined in national subject curriculums as a response to UNESCO’s programme on Education for Sustainable Development, ESD? The core hypothesis of this project was that tailored literature circles, focused on the ecocritical aspects of literary texts, would make student-teachers aware of how they can use literature as a process to reflect on sustainability. This would enable them to incorporate sustainability thinking into their own teaching practices. The project’s tailoring of the standard literature circle roles (Daniels 1994, 2002, 2006) involved the design of reading roles that highlighted ecocritical and generic aspects of the studied texts and the application of an analytical matrix developed by literary scholars researching the representation of nature in children’s and young adult literature. This article presents the results of a small-scale study testing the ecocritical literature circles approach and its impact on student-teachers’ conception of their own ability to meet the competence aims on sustainability in their teaching. The intervention included lectures on ecocriticism and on the posthuman debate prior to the literature circles and student feedback through pre- and post-circle questionnaires. It was implemented in the teacher-training classroom, working with dystopian science fiction texts for young adults. These texts present the reader with visions of the future. The study showed that the ecocritical literature circles, and in particular the ecocritical reading roles, were considered useful by the participating student-teachers. The participants also reported a significant increase in confidence relative to their own ability to discuss sustainability issues with their pupils.

Abstract:
In order to make teaching activities more appealing, different techniques and strategies have been constantly employed. In this study, the strategy of “literature circles” was utilized to improve the text-analysis skills, reading desires, and interests of prospective teachers of Turkish. “Literature circles” was not chosen to be used as the sole strategy throughout the entire weekly class hours; instead, it was used only for one class hour of every weekly four-hour classes, being complementary to and supportive of other teaching activities. The study was carried out as action research. A total of 92 third-year students in two sections of the department of Turkish Education voluntarily participated in the study. In order to improve the students’ book reviewing skills and reading interests, “literature circles” was implemented for a period of 12 weeks for one class hour. At the end of the implementation of “literature circles” when the students’ reading comprehension pre-test and post-test scores were compared, a significant difference was observed. Based on the results, it may be concluded that “literature circles” is effective in developing students’ abilities to find the theme, main idea, and keywords in a text. Besides, the students pointed out that the implementation of this strategy increased their interest and desire for communication, their self-confidence, cooperative learning, critical thinking, reading objectively without bias, and independent reading skills.

Abstract:
Objective.To describe the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Filter 2.1 methodology for core domain set selection.Methods.The “OMERACT Way for Core Domain Set selection” framework consists of 3 stages: first, generating candidate domains through literature reviews and qualitative work, then a process of consensus to obtain agreement from those involved, and finally formal voting on the OMERACT Onion. The OMERACT Onion describes the placement of domains in layers/circles: mandatory in all trials/mandatory in specific circumstances (inner circle); important but optional (middle circle); or research agenda (outer circle). Five OMERACT working groups presented their core domain sets for endorsement by the OMERACT community. Tools including a workbook and whiteboard video were created to assist the process. The methods workshop at OMERACT 2018 introduced participants to this framework.Results.The 5 OMERACT working groups achieved consensus on their proposed core domain sets. After the Methodology Workshop training exercise at OMERACT 2018, over 90% of participants voted that they were confident that they understood the process of core domain set selection.Conclusion.The methods described in this paper were successfully used by the 5 working groups voting on domains at the OMERACT 2018 meeting, demonstrating the feasibility of the process. In addition, participants at OMERACT 2018 expressed increased confidence and understanding of the core domain set selection process after the training exercise. This methodology will continue to evolve, and we will use innovative technology such as whiteboard videos as a key part of our dissemination and implementation strategy for new methods.

Abstract:
1.Introduction:Quantitative high-resolution TEM (QHREM) serves for the determination of structures of crystal defects. The structure retrieval problem is usually considered to be solved when a simulated image calculated from a model structure matches with high quality to the experimental image. Often, however, surprisingly large (and continuous) shifts of individual atomic columns are possible before the simulation looses its similarity to the experiment. Therefore, we propose printing structure retrieval results as “atomic ball pictures” with the radius of the ball as a circle of confidence (replacing the chemical atomic radius otherwise used for these pictures). Statistical methods are necessary to derive the proper radius of the circles which are element and site specific : Monte-Carlo based strategies are highly suitable for this purpose. As a model system we use two bulk sections from a micrograph of a Cu/Sapphire interface (Fig. 1). For interface properties see.

Abstract:
This paper critically evaluates the pilot of a Thesis Writers’ Circles program offered to Education PhD and DEd students at the University of Melbourne in semester 2, 2005. The analysis focuses on the needs of those students that were felt to be well-met by this model of support. Broadly, the paper identifies two distinct but inter-related themes: firstly, the challenge of developing writing skills to a level sufficient to meet the demands of preparing a research thesis; secondly, the importance for research higher degree students of building confidence as apprentice academic writers. In relation to the latter theme, the paper identifies the benefits of community participation and peer-collaboration in working towards the aim of consolidating a thesis-writing identity. It is in this capacity, we argue, that thesis writers’ circles have distinct advantages compared with other forms of candidature support, making them a valuable supplement to both conventional supervision practices and generic English language and thesis writing programs. The paper affirms the importance not only of equipping international and non-English speaking background (NESB) students with writing tools and strategies, but also of creating opportunities for all postgraduate research students to receive (and offer) non-judgmental feedback on work-in-progress within a discipline-specific learning and discourse community.

Abstract:
JUDGES’ COUNCIL FOR NORTHERN IRELANDThe Judges’ Council for Northern Ireland was established in 2010. The only legal basis defining the principles of its operation and the procedure for appointing its members is the “constitution” adopted by the Council itself — the rules governing its action. The author analyses the competence and practice of this body and concludes that the Council has no imperative powers and that its role is limited to that of an advisory role. It has not been given the powers that are usually given to bodies of a similar nature. Despite this, the Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland, as head of the judiciary, before making specific decisions usually decides to consult them with representatives of various judicial circles represented in the Council, which increases public confidence in his decisions and confidence in the judiciary.

Abstract:
The aim of this project is to design an algorithm that identifies the Area of Interest (AOI) in ELISpot and FluoroSpot images. ELISpot and FluoroSpot are two varieties of a biochemical test used to analyze immune responses by quantifying the amount of cytokine secreted by cells. ELISpot and FluoroSpot images show a well that contains the cytokinesecreting cells which appear as scattered spots. Prior to counting the number of spots, it is required to detect the area in which to count the spots, i.e. the area delimited by the contour of the well. We propose to use the Circle Hough Transform together with filtering and the Laplacian of Gaussian edge detector in order to accurately detect such area. Furthermore we develop an outlier removal method that contributes to increase the robustness of the proposed detection method. Finally we compare our algorithm with another algorithm already in use. A Swedish biotech company called Mabtech has implemented an AOI identifier in the same field. Our proposed algorithm proves to be more robust and provides consistent results for all the images in the dataset.

In this thesis, we discuss how to determine the order in recommending new friends or new interests by the confidence index generated from SVM on the social network. The main idea is analyzing ego's friendship circles and finding interests or friends, which are not currently included in ego's profile, and then score order by SVM confidence is used to decide the recommendation in every turn based on the ego network structure. The most different place is not using fixed order but score order by SVM confidence to decide the recommendation in every turn. Because fixed order may make some wrong recommendations and affect the next recommendation with a low accuracy result. In our experiment, we show that the accuracy of SVM confidence score order is better than that of fixed order in general, even when the information is not enough.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the crucial experiences that boosted the self confidence and social awareness of Harold Gibbons and Ernest Calloway and gave them a budding sense of purpose and direction. Before they first met in Chicago in the summer of 1937, the education of Gibbons and Calloway continued on parallel tracks. Amid the profound social dislocation of the Great Depression, each of them experienced epiphanies that they subsequently credited with bolstering their determination to lift up the working class. This chapter first considers Gibbons and Calloway's life in Chicago before discussing how the city's overlapping circles of reform and radicalism made it a political cornucopia for the two men following their escape from the constricted world of their coal patch youths. It also looks at three mentors who introduced Gibbons to the concepts of a strong union movement, independent political action, and the importance of education for effective citizenship: Annetta Dieckmann, Lillian Herstein, and Paul Douglas. Finally, it describes Brookwood Labor College's influence on Calloway's thinking as well as his anti-communism.

This chapter argues that secession transformed the Knights of the Golden Circle from a political confidence game into a multipurpose tool for a nation-building enterprise. That is, the Knights of the Golden Circle eased the effort of the Southern elite to build a nation by secession from a country it could no longer control and acquire the new territory they believed they could. Over time, George W. L. Bickley fine-tuned his flattery of the Southern elite, shaping for them a tool that appealed to popular prejudices against republican ideology. In response, the masters of the new Confederate nation found the Knights of the Golden Circle most useful as an all-purpose label for its enforcement arm at the defining margins of the new Confederate States of America.

For managers to improve the organization strategically, they need to begin with self-management. What qualities exemplify effective managers? An individual effectiveness model employs four circles of self-assessment: self-perception, self-management, relationships, and effectiveness in group settings. How does one gain and use personal power? What is one's management style and decision-making practice? How does the work environment impact managers' action? Self-confidence and personal management success builds a reputation that attracts others to collaborate. Several self-assessment exercises are included.

This chapter discusses the Italian Enlightenment. From the time of Galileo onward, the new science was ill understood on the Italian peninsula. The heresy hunters stood guard against a system that they believed led to atheism and materialism. The breakthrough toward Enlightenment came in Rome in 1707, when Celestino Galiani (1681–1753) and his coterie began experiments in Newtonian optics. Still, Galiani had little confidence that the new science would thrive in an Italian setting. Nevertheless, by the 1720s, the new enlightened culture with its European sources had arrived in Italian intellectual circles, despite the best efforts of the Inquisition to suppress it. The chapter then focuses on the distinctive intellectual vitality of Naples and Milan.

Abstract:
A wilderness place triggers desire in unexpected ways. It plants an itch that can’t easily be satisfied. Take Rockpile Mountain in the Arcadia Valley region of the St. Francois Mountains in southeast Missouri. I’ve hiked its wilderness area numerous times, taking Little Grass Mountain Trail south to hook up with the loop trail that circles from the rocky shut-ins near the mountain’s foot to the strange “rock pile” at its crest. The place awakens desire in me every time I come. It’s nothing remarkable—a 1,305-foot knoll covered by an oak-hickory forest. Its name derives from a circle of blue granite stones atop its ridge. White settlers noticed the oddity in the early nineteenth century. Prior to their arrival, Osage and Illini peoples lived in the area, descendants of earlier Oneonta and Mississippian cultures in central Missouri and eastern Illinois. Whatever purpose it originally served, the place carries a sense of mystery to this day. The stone circle is fifteen feet in diameter. An anvil-shaped rock stands near its center, with two small cedar trees nearby. Archaeologists have excavated similar stone circles in the upper Midwest. They appear to have been ceremonial sites, possibly used by flint knappers in making stone tools or weapons. It is a good place for cutting to the heart of things—for recognizing desire as one of the soul’s hardest disciplines. Giving yourself to desire isn’t an exercise for the faint-hearted. The desert novice who passes through disillusionment is gripped by a hunger for what she has sensed but never seen in the surrounding wilderness. Stripped of grandiosity (her initial confidence in mastering challenges), she’s had a taste of something grander yet. But she lacks proof that the “elusive lion” of her deepest desire was anything more than her imagination. Keeping desire aflame in the absence of what one seeks requires stoutness of heart. It demands the relinquishment of lesser longings as well. A holy desire isn’t a warm feeling that sweeps you off your feet. It is a discipline, something you choose. The greatest desires are beyond fulfillment. They thrive on the wanting itself.

It explores four themes broached earlier in the book, associating each one with a particular city. They are: Tūs, which stands for Iran; Basra, which stands for the encyclopedic erudition of the Brethren of Purity at the end of the tenth century, drawing on the whole heritage of the First Millennium to offer a way of salvation to the Muslim soul; Baghdad, which stands for the Abbasid capital's learned circles and their openness to reasoned argument and Aristotelian logic to facilitate debate between members of the many different faiths espoused by its inhabitants; and Pisa, which stands for the eleventh-century reemergence of Latin Europe, still in the shadow of Islam but bursting already with aggressive energy and a new cultural self-confidence.

Abstract:
This chapter offers a biographical sketch of Rashi. There are numerous folk legends about Rashi's birth, especially the miracles wrought for his mother during her pregnancy, and about his father and his father's journeys outside France and meetings with various sages, including Maimonides. None of these legends is reliably documented, however, and nothing can be gleaned from them about the events of Rashi's life. Ultimately, they reflect the cultural world of Jewish society in the late Middle Ages—a time that saw the composition, in Jewish circles as in Christian, of numerous hagiographical works recounting the miracles performed for holy men. Rashi is renowned throughout the Jewish world not only for his wide-ranging literary productivity but also for his unique character. Five qualities stand out in his warm and radiant personality: humility and natural simplicity, pursuit of truth, concern for human dignity, great confidence in his own abilities, and a sense of mission as a community leader. These qualities are evident in his actions, his relations with other people, his ties to his students, his world-view, his scorn for arrogance, his love of peace, his literary output, and even in his writing style. The chapter then considers Rashi's status and fame.

Abstract:
The core features of coalition politics in Hungary are majority coalitions and stable governments. A small number of parliamentary parties are strongly divided both on cultural and economic cleavage lines. This does not offer much flexibility in coalition formation. Before 2010 coalitions were controlled by alternating senior parties of either conservative or left orientation, thereafter coalitions have been characterized by one-party conservative dominance. The coalitions of the left were based on more equal partnership, deeper policy consciousness, and more established party organization than the conservative coalitions. Hungary has developed in to a case of prime ministerial government built on constitutional, legal, political, and occasionally personal grounds. Secured by the constructive no-confidence vote, enjoying authority in the nomination and dismissal of ministers, being party leader, and not facing strong political rivals or institutional veto points, most prime ministers have enjoyed unquestionable power. Over the decades, governance has become increasingly centralized and politicized. The management of coalition conflicts has moved away from Parliament and cabinet to narrow circles of party political or personal nominees. Publicly available coalition agreements, with few exceptions, have not been policy-oriented and have not provided much guidance on coalition governance or conflict resolution techniques. Still, disciplined legislative and parliamentary behaviour has been common and early elections have never taken place. Government termination has rarely occurred due to policy conflicts between the coalition partners. Junior coalition parties have paid huge electoral costs for their participation in government.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Sidewall coring is a cost-effective process to complement conventional fullbore coring. Because sidewall cores target exact depth points, verification of the sidewall core recovery depth is required. We present an automated, fast workflow to perform the depth verification using borehole images, thereby providing consistent results. An application example using a typical dataset is used to showcase the workflow. A novel automated approach based on image analysis techniques and Bayesian statistical analysis is developed to verify sidewall core recovery depth using borehole image logs. A complete workflow is presented covering: 1) utilization of reference logs, e.g., gamma ray, to correct image log depth using cross correlation and/or dynamic time warping, 2) automated identification of sidewall core cavity in borehole image log using the circle Hough transform, and 3) estimation of confidence in the identification using Bayesian statistics and specialized metrics. The workflow is applied on a typical dataset containing tens of sidewall core cavities with varying quality. Results are comparable to the manual interpretation from an experienced engineer. A number of observations are made. First, the use of reference logs to correct the image log allows for determining the exact well logs values where the sidewall core was sampled, which is then compared to the initial target well logs values. This increases the confidence that the target lithofacies was sampled as planned. Second, the circle Hough Transform is suitable for this problem because it provides stable solutions for partially imaged sidewall core cavities typical in pad-based borehole images. Third, the use of Bayesian statistics and specialized metrics for the problem, such as average and standard deviation borehole image intensity in the cavity, provides customizability to work with multiple types of borehole images and with varying initial depth guess uncertainties. Overall, the use of fast and automated methodology for depth verification opens up avenues for near real-time combined sidewall coring, imaging, and verification workflows. The novelty in this study lies in using a combination of image processing techniques and statistical analysis to automate an established manual workflow. The automated workflow provides consistent results in minutes rather than hours. Results also incorporate a confidence index estimation.

Abstract:
An Arc Second Indoor Global Positioning System (IGPS) has been applied in the evaluation of the maneuvering characteristics of surface ships. The system consists of a series of laser transmitters located around the Maneuvering and Seakeeping (MASK) Basin at the David Taylor Model Basin (DTMB) in West Bethesda, Maryland. Receivers for the location of the model within the MASK are installed on a free-running surface ship model. Since the system provides position of the model within the basin as a function of time, velocity is also computed from finite differences of position and time. The system has been effective in providing velocity calibration data versus propeller shaft speed in straight-line runs. The characteristics of circle maneuvers have also been determined from the system such as the steady turn radius as a function of approach velocity and rudder angle, velocity in a turn, and the drift angle. Quantitative results are provided for a surface ship model in circle maneuvers and velocity calibration from straight-line runs. The typical Froude number range for a test is typically 0.1 < Fr < 0.4 with an uncertainty of ±0.0048 at the 95% confidence level.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents an uncertainty study on the manoeuvring behaviour of a twin screw ferry. In particular, we are interested in heel angles that this ship achieves while manoeuvring. Earlier published uncertainty analysis has focused on the uncertainty of overshoot angles and tactical diameters see [1] and [2]. The heel angles of these ships are not large. However, there is a class of ships that may encounter large heel angles due to steering. Ferries are such ships. The present paper quantifies also the uncertainty of the measured heel angles due to manoeuvres. During the model test series, results are obtained for various values of the stability (GM), where large heel angles are observed. This provides a unique insight in the relation between the GM, approach speed, directional stability and the achieved heel angles. Because of the demonstrated large heel angles, it was important to make an uncertainty analysis of these tests. More publications have been written on the uncertainty of overshoot angles and dimensions of turning circle manoeuvres. However, the uncertainty of heel angles during manoeuvres hasn’t been published yet, which makes this a unique paper. The uncertainty analysis will be based on repeat tests for the zigzag 10°/10° and 35° turning circle manoeuvres. Repeat tests are carried out for these manoeuvres to verify the mean and the uncertainty of the experimentally obtained values. The methodology for estimating the uncertainty with 95% confidence bounds are derived by accounting for 1) uncertainty from measurement, 2) repeat tests and 3) the uncertainty from propagation of initial conditions and the error in check angle and rudder. The uncertainty results are compared with a previous study of uncertainty of manoeuvring characteristics of model tests with the KVLCC2 [1] and [2].

Abstract:
The more accurate a performance prediction is the higher the benefit will be for both, the customer and the manufacturer of gas turbines. The customer will achieve an advantage as the whole plant will work close to its design parameters and thus close to the planned economical optimum, while the manufacturer can guarantee the performance of the gas turbine with minimised margins. This paper describes how the combination of certain software tools and detailed fleet analysis leads to performance predictions with high confidence levels considering at the same time that the handling of thousands of data has to be based on a sufficient quality procedure. As the methods focus on heavy duty gas turbines producing electrical power in commercial applications, only quasi steady state operation at constant speed is investigated. Based on the definitions for compressor and turbine maps the paper explains, how test data are evaluated, statistically investigated and finally used as an input for a routine that assimilates the maps to the best knowledge of what has been concluded out of the test experiences so that the circle is closed. Showing examples out of a fleet analysis for a Siemens gas turbine the principles of the single steps are illustrated. The structure of the used maps is described as well as the basic application of the mathematical methods. The focus, however, is not on the special mathematical solution itself, but on the principle of the general procedure, i.e. that for the specific task of predicting those performance data that have direct impact on plant economics, a simplified method can be derived that not necessarily has to take into account the physical correlation of parameters that are used to describe a gas turbine cycle on a higher detailed level. Thus the paper should not be understood as a further attempt to optimise mathematical functions for maps in order to simulate gas turbine operation, but as a report on how sufficient results may be obtained concerning to practical and fast performance prediction, even though only a few values are measured and investigated theoretically.
