  • KME Chapter Handbook Updated July 2018
    KME Chapter Handbook Updated July 2018 www.kappamuepsilon.org I. History and purpose of KME A. Description and purpose of KME Kappa Mu Epsilon is a national mathematics honor society, promoting interest in mathematics among undergraduate students. Its chapters are located in colleges and universities of recognized standing which offer a strong mathematics major. The chapters' members are selected from students of mathematics and other closely related fields who have maintained standards of scholarship, have professional merit, and have attained academic distinction. The primary purposes of Kappa Mu Epsilon include the following: to further the interests of mathematics among undergraduate students; to help undergraduate students realize the important role that mathematics has played in the development of civilization; to develop an appreciation of the power and beauty possessed by mathematics, due, mainly, to its demand for logical and rigorous modes of thought; to provide a society for the recognition of outstanding achievement in the study of mathematics at the undergraduate level; to disseminate the knowledge of mathematics and familiarize its members with the current progress in this important area of human interest. to provide opportunities for undergraduate students to present and publish their original work in the field of mathematics and closely related fields where they apply mathematics. B. A brief history The rapid growth of colleges and universities in the United States during the latter part of the 19th Century led to the development of professional societies in many fields. Local clubs were formed in educational institutions to promote the rising professionalism, and the desire for affiliation with other groups of similar interest led to the organization of these local clubs into state and national organizations.

  • 1 Why Media Researchers Don't Care About Teletext
    1 Why Media Researchers Don’t Care About Teletext Hilde Van den Bulck & Hallvard Moe Abstract This chapter tackles the paradoxical observation that teletext in Europe can look back on a long and successful history but has attracted very little academic interest. The chapter suggests and discusses reasons why media and commu- nications researchers have paid so little attention to teletext and argue why we should not ignore it. To this end, it dissects the features of teletext, its history, and contextualizes these in a discussion of media research as a field. It first discusses institutional (sender) aspects of teletext, focusing on the perceived lack of attention to teletext from a political economic and policy analysis perspective. Next, the chapter looks at the characteristics of teletext content (message) and reasons why this failed to attract the attention of scholars from a journalism studies and a methodological perspective. Finally, it discusses issues relating to the uses of teletext (receivers), reflecting on the discrepancy between the large numbers of teletext users and the lack of scholarly attention from traditions such as effect research and audience studies. Throughout, the chapter points to instances in the development of teletext that constitute so- called pre-echoes of debates that are considered pressing today. These issues are illustrated throughout with the case of the first (est.1974) and, for a long time, leading teletext service Ceefax of the BBC and the wider development of teletext in the UK. Keywords: teletext, communication studies, research gaps, media history, Ceefax, BBC Introduction When we first started thinking about a book on teletext, a medium that has been very much part of people’s everyday lives across Europe for over forty years, we were surprised by the lack of scholarly attention or even interest.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page{s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • On GREEK LETTER KOPPA Source: Michael Everson, EGT (IE) Status: Discussion and Proposal Action: for Consideration by JTC1/SC2/WG2 and UTC Date: 1998-12-12
    ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 N1938 1998-12-12 Universal Multiple-Octet Coded Character Set International Organization for Standardization Organisation Internationale de Normalisation Œåæäóíàðîäíàß îðãàíèçàöèß ïî ñòàíäàðòèçàöèè Doc Type: Working Group Document Title: On GREEK LETTER KOPPA Source: Michael Everson, EGT (IE) Status: Discussion and proposal Action: For consideration by JTC1/SC2/WG2 and UTC Date: 1998-12-12 Constantine Stathopoulos has asserted that a distinction needs to be made between GREEK LETTER KOPPA and GREEK NUMERAL KOPPA. This distinction is based in his assertion that a Q-shaped KOPPA is used in text, but a Z-shaped KOPPA is used as a numeral in modern Greek practice – and that modern Greek users do not recognize the identity of the two signs. In this document I will examine the evidence to hand. (Stathopoulos prefers the term “sigmoid KOPPA” to “Z-shaped KOPPA”, but I consider the latter to be more convenient in English.) Cook 1987 presents a convenient table with 5 archaic Greek alphabets. Note the letters DIGAMMA, SAN (> SAMPI), and Q-shaped KOPPA. Note also the capital and small versions of these letters (but not SAN) in the modern Greek typeface on the left. Page 1 Cook 1987 also gives a convenient summary of the letters used numerically: Note the use of DIGAMMA as 6, Q-shaped KOPPA as 90, and SAMPI as 900. Threatte 1996 gives a similar summary of the letters used numerically: Note the use of DIGAMMA, STIGMA, and SIGMA-TAU as 6, Q-shaped KOPPA as 90, and SAMPI as 900. When DIGAMMA was lost, STIGMA seems to have been substituted for it.

Although recent years have witnessed technological advancements, the availability of technology does not ensure accessibility to information and communication technologies (ICT). Extensive use of text from menus to document contents means that deaf or functionally illiterate can not access services implemented on most computer software. Consequently, most existing computer applications pose an accessibility barrier to those who are unable to read fluently. Online technologies intended for such groups should be developed in continuous partnership with primary users and include a thorough investigation into their limitations, requirements and usability barriers. In this research, I investigated existing tools in voice, web and other multimedia technologies to identify learning gaps and explored ways to enhance the information literacy for deaf and functionally illiterate users. I worked on the development of user-centered interfaces to increase the capabilities of deaf and low literacy users by enhancing lexical resources and by evaluating several multimedia interfaces for them.
