Full text

Abstract:

Laura Ingalls Wilder's eight-novel Little House series, published between 1932 and 1943, is among the most acclaimed and controversial examples of modern children's literature. The narrative tells the true story of Wilder's pioneer childhood in the 1870s and 80s, including her family's encounters with American Indians. Recently some scholars have argued that Wilder's depiction of American Indians is derogatory, but examining Wilder's literary devices and contextualizing the story in the eras in which it occurred and was written about reveals a more complex portrayal of Native themes. Biographical information about Wilder suggests that she deliberately crafted her story as she recorded it; such changes afforded opportunities to emphasize her political values and critique mythology associated with America's frontier era. Analyzing the narrative in the context of frontier Kansas, and more specifically as women's frontier literature, reveals the literary uniqueness of the Little House story and highlights fallacies inherent in the premise of Manifest Destiny. As Wilder recorded her memories with the help of her well-known libertarian daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, during the Depression they often emphasized their anti-New Deal politics and cautioned readers about the dangers of buying into "big government" policies. The Little House story also reflects trends of the Golden Age of children's literature which demonstrated respect for children by removing didactic lessons from the literature; thus the Little House texts present the controversial subject of America's frontier history in a manner that allows children to draw their own conclusions about it. Finally, two television versions of the Little House story present didactic, positive lessons about American Indians on the frontier, but diminish the possibility for multiple interpretations of the events inherent in Wilder's original story. In a non-fiction article in The Missouri Ruralist in 1920, Wilder reminded her neighbors that home is "the best place for teaching many things, first and most important of which is how to think for one's self." Wilder's texts offer opportunities for discussing the complex topics associated with frontier history and encourage young readers to think critically about Native issues in the texts--opportunities seldom found in mainstream American storybooks and curriculum.

Full text

Abstract:

This article uses Patrick Wolfe’s theory of settler colonialism to analyze the relationship between Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie book series and Native American literature. The article traces Native American authors from the 1930s – when Little House was first published – through to the present day, and aims to show that literature is a long-standing and valid way of decolonizing a settler colonial state. Cited in the article are Ella Deloria, Louise Erdrich, Waziyatawin, and Dennis McAuliffe, Jr., among others. Further topics include a literature award that removed Wilder’s name in 2018, and the role of education and settler colonialism. In this article, the author analyzes Pellegrino Artusi’s 1891 Italian cookbook La scienza in cucina e l’arte di mangiar bene. Overall, La scienza is considered one of the most significant Italian cookbooks. The article’s four main sections – language, class and gender, religion, and geography – support the claim that Artusi created a version of Italian nationalism through food; albeit with a particular emphasis on Northern Italy. This article relies heavily on the work of Benedict Anderson and Anthony D. Smith with their contributions to the field of nationalism, as well as highlighting Jeffrey Pilcher’s work as a means of introducing nationalism through food.

Full text

Abstract:

During the author’s childhood days, she passed by a colonial red brick house every time she hiked up Mount Parker in Hong Kong. She wondered why such a beautiful yet dilapidated house stood so alone. It seemed to have no connection with its surrounding area, a very local district of Quarry Bay. Later in life, when the author began to take on more interest in Hong Kong’s architectural heritage, she then realized that the red brick house, “Woodside” (「林邊屋」或「紅磚屋」), used to be the staff quarters of Butterfield & Swire, a company that contributed a great deal to the development of Quarry Bay. Coincidentally, this company became the employer of the author, and this motivated the author to seek answers to her queries about the building, and reveal the stories behind this lonely building. Studying in the Architectural Conservation Programmes has provided the opportunity to put these answers on record, so that the public may access them in the future. The research of this dissertation focuses on the history and stories of Woodside from its construction in 1922 until its handover to the government in the 1970s. Through researching and documenting facts related to Woodside, its values (aesthetic, historical, social, rarity and architectural) and significances will be identified.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1902, Larz Anderson III, a Washington diplomat, and his wife, Isabel Weld Perkins Anderson, a Boston author, commissioned the Boston architects Arthur Little and Herbert W. C. Browne to design their winter residence in the District of Columbia. Completed in 1905, this Beaux-Arts mansion now serves as an historic house museum and as the national headquarters for the Society of the Cincinnati, a patriotic organization established by Revolutionary War officers in 1783. Larz Anderson was a member and a descendant of one of the founders of the Society. The fact that Anderson House was designated a national historic landmark in 1996 indicates that it is worthy of national recognition, yet the architectural and historical significance of this socially and politically important building has not been fully investigated. This dissertation examines the edifice by focusing on its patrons, families, architects, design, art collection, and mural paintings.

Full text

Abstract:

Grade three students in the Ontario education system learn about "pioneers" to satisfy the requirements of the Social Studies curriculum. Historical fiction can be used as an addition to the curriculum, and may offer children a way to learn about, and perhaps even identify with, Canada's past. The purpose of this study was to problematize two works of historical fiction that have been used in an Ontario classroom: Little house in the big woods (Wilder, 1932), and Ticket to Curlew (Lottridge, 1992). These stories present racialized, colonial depictions of European resettlers (i.e. "pioneers"), and perpetuate preferred or dominant discourses about history (Hall, 1993; Furniss, 1999). Presented as a "micro-context" (Cohen, 1992), this discussion utilizes Snead's (1994) analytical categories (i.e. marking, mythification, and omission) to understand how these works of juvenile historical fiction are racialized through the use of "colonial narratives" (Furniss, 1999). As an alternative to colonial, dominant readings of history, Paul Yee's Tales from Gold Mountain (1989) offers a collection of short stories, which focus on the possible experiences of Chinese-Canadians. While the characters in Wilder's and Lottridge's books are implicitly and explicitly marked as "white," Yee's characters are Chinese, providing readers with non-European Canadian history. Providing alternative narratives is important because, as some literature has shown, students may emotionally or physically disengage from the educational system if they feel that they are not given, nor are they encouraged to seek, negotiated or oppositional (Hall, 1993) readings of history that might reflect their identity, or life experiences (Dei, Mazzuca, Mclssac & Zine, 1998; James, 1994/1995).

Abstract:

Desenvolver e manter softwares com qualidade constituem-se tarefas difíceis. A baixa compreensão das estruturas de software e a complexidade de analisar os impactos de alterações são obstáculos para que um software evolua sem grandes deteriorações. Visualizar graficamente o sistema e suas características permitiria identificar mais facilmente possíveis necessidades de reestruturação do software e, com isso, amenizar seu processo de deterioração. Buscando contribuir com um recurso desta natureza, em um trabalho anterior de um dos autores do presente artigo, foi desenvolvido um modelo, denominado Little House, que consiste em uma figura macroscópica genérica das estruturas de software orientado a objetos, baseado no modelo bow-tie que descreve a web. Little House modela o software como uma rede que pode ser particionada em 6 componentes. O objetivo deste trabalho é desenvolver algoritmos de particionamento para o modelo Little House e criar uma ferramenta de visualização de software que exiba as redes de software para esse modelo.

This project was commissioned to mark the grand opening of a new arts center and gallery, housed within a renovated fire station in the eastern market neighborhood of Detroit. The existing building which housed the gallery was largely preserved intact, with little modification to its rough walls and exposed concrete floors. As a result, the pavilion was conceived of as a freestanding structure which not only created a type of space which was diverse from its surroundings, but also created a new type of surface for displaying art, one that blurred the boundary between the art and architecture itself.

Abstract: While there is an abundance of commentary and criticism on Le Corbusier’s effect upon architecture and planning globally – in Europe, Northern Africa, the Americas and the Indian sub-continent – there is very little dealing with other contexts such as Australia. The paper will offer a first appraisal of Le Corbusier’s relationship with Australia, providing example of the significant international reach of his ideas to places he was never to set foot. It draws attention to Le Corbusier's contacts with architects who practiced in Australia and little known instances of his connections - his drawing of the City of Adelaide plan (1950) and his commission for art at Jorn Utzon's Sydney Opera House (1958). The paper also considers the ways that Le Corbusier’s work underwent translation into Australian architecture and urbanism in the mid to late 20th century through the influence his work exerted on others, identifying further possibilities for research on the topic.

Abstract:

Although the risks and rewards of outsourcing product design have been argued extensively in the literature, little hard data on project outcomes exist to inform the discussion, and even these are methodologically suspect. To address this gap, this paper uses novel random sampling techniques to locate projects and measure the distribution of project outcomes in one particular type of design outsourcing, domestic design consulting. The results suggest that design consulting outcomes are generally good but vary significantly between projects and consultancies. Overall rates of product commercialization and market success compare favorably to results previously reported for in-house product design, and client satisfaction levels are comparable to those of other service industries.

Abstract:

Abstract Equipment manufacturers have developed peripherals for their tools that add soft defect localization (SDL) capability to existing optical beam tools, in many cases providing excellent results. However, these upgrades add significant cost to the tool. This paper presents the design considerations for a simple adapter that was developed in house to add SDL capability to optical beam induced resistance change (OBIRCH) tool, including resolution of some unexpected problems. This solution represents a simple, low cost method to add SDL testing capability to the OBIRCH tool and can also be used in conjunction with OBIC and XIVA tools with little or no modification. An early example of the SDL results provided by this adapter is also presented.

Abstract:

Energy consumption, the associated green house emissions has now caught the attention of mainstream organizations. Soon organizations will be required by legislation in many modern economies to report their contribution to green house emissions through their energy consumption. Office computing is a significant contributor to greenhouse emissions through electricity energy consumption. Until recently little thought has been given to making office computing more energy efficient. Organizations and individuals have become complacent in using computers, turning them on first thing in the morning and leaving them on all day. The time it takes to load up modern operating systems has reinforced this inefficient behaviour. In this paper we outline the energy inefficiencies of office computing and outline recent advances in energy efficient technologies. We focus on two emerging technologies: smart power blocks and splash top which have potential to drastically cut the energy consumption of office computing. We believe that our initial evaluation of these energy efficient technologies shows tremendous promise for reducing the energy consumption and greenhouse emissions of office computing. In future work we plan to conduct live experiments in modern office complexes to evaluate the actual energy savings and the fit of these technologies with current work practices.

Abstract:

Grouping of droplets was studied in monodisperse droplet streams. This very controllable system allows to studybasic effects. In experiments droplet streams with monodisperse droplets were generated, however, with initially two different inter droplet spacing. A larger inter droplet spacing is followed by a little bit smaller one, which is followed by a larger one and so on. Due to this initial boundary condition groups of two droplets form, which approach each other and finally coagulate. It was found, that the velocity of the droplet approach is linearly dependent on the spacing between the droplets. This process was simulated by direct numerical simulation using the in-house code FS3D. The results of the simulations show the ame linear behaviour. For larger computational domains thenumerical results approach the experimental results.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/ILASS2017.2017.4685

Abstract:

The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings:  Building blocks: The ultimate aim should be to build rich, detailed and testable narratives situated within a European context, and addressing phenomena from the longue durée to the short-term over international to local scales. Chronological control is essential to this and effective dating strategies are required to enable generation-level analysis. The ‘serendipity factor’ of archaeological work must be enhanced by recognising and getting the most out of information-rich sites as they appear. o There is a pressing need to revisit the archives of excavated sites to extract more information from existing resources, notably through dating programmes targeted at regional sequences – the Western Isles Atlantic roundhouse sequence is an obvious target. o Many areas still lack anything beyond the baldest of settlement sequences, with little understanding of the relations between key site types. There is a need to get at least basic sequences from many more areas, either from sustained regional programmes or targeted sampling exercises. o Much of the methodologically innovative work and new insights have come from long-running research excavations. Such large-scale research projects are an important element in developing new approaches to the Iron Age.  Daily life and practice: There remains great potential to improve the understanding of people’s lives in the Iron Age through fresh approaches to, and integration of, existing and newly-excavated data. o House use. Rigorous analysis and innovative approaches, including experimental archaeology, should be employed to get the most out of the understanding of daily life through the strengths of the Scottish record, such as deposits within buildings, organic preservation and waterlogging. o Material culture. Artefact studies have the potential to be far more integral to understandings of Iron Age societies, both from the rich assemblages of the Atlantic area and less-rich lowland finds. Key areas of concern are basic studies of material groups (including the function of everyday items such as stone and bone tools, and the nature of craft processes – iron, copper alloy, bone/antler and shale offer particularly good evidence). Other key topics are: the role of ‘art’ and other forms of decoration and comparative approaches to assemblages to obtain synthetic views of the uses of material culture. o Field to feast. Subsistence practices are a core area of research essential to understanding past society, but different strands of evidence need to be more fully integrated, with a ‘field to feast’ approach, from production to consumption. The working of agricultural systems is poorly understood, from agricultural processes to cooking practices and cuisine: integrated work between different specialisms would assist greatly. There is a need for conceptual as well as practical perspectives – e.g. how were wild resources conceived? o Ritual practice. There has been valuable work in identifying depositional practices, such as deposition of animals or querns, which are thought to relate to house-based ritual practices, but there is great potential for further pattern-spotting, synthesis and interpretation. Iron Age Scotland: ScARF Panel Report v  Landscapes and regions:  Concepts of ‘region’ or ‘province’, and how they changed over time, need to be critically explored, because they are contentious, poorly defined and highly variable. What did Iron Age people see as their geographical horizons, and how did this change?  Attempts to understand the Iron Age landscape require improved, integrated survey methodologies, as existing approaches are inevitably partial.  Aspects of the landscape’s physical form and cover should be investigated more fully, in terms of vegetation (known only in outline over most of the country) and sea level change in key areas such as the firths of Moray and Forth.  Landscapes beyond settlement merit further work, e.g. the use of the landscape for deposition of objects or people, and what this tells us of contemporary perceptions and beliefs.  Concepts of inherited landscapes (how Iron Age communities saw and used this longlived land) and socal resilience to issues such as climate change should be explored more fully.  Reconstructing Iron Age societies. The changing structure of society over space and time in this period remains poorly understood. Researchers should interrogate the data for better and more explicitly-expressed understandings of social structures and relations between people.  The wider context: Researchers need to engage with the big questions of change on a European level (and beyond). Relationships with neighbouring areas (e.g. England, Ireland) and analogies from other areas (e.g. Scandinavia and the Low Countries) can help inform Scottish studies. Key big topics are: o The nature and effect of the introduction of iron. o The social processes lying behind evidence for movement and contact. o Parallels and differences in social processes and developments. o The changing nature of houses and households over this period, including the role of ‘substantial houses’, from crannogs to brochs, the development and role of complex architecture, and the shift away from roundhouses. o The chronology, nature and meaning of hillforts and other enclosed settlements. o Relationships with the Roman world
