  • Catalogue of Manuscripts in the Roth Collection’, Contributed by Cecil Roth Himself to the Alexander Marx Jubilee Volume (New York, 1950), Where It Forms Pp
    Handlist 164 LEEDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Provisional handlist of manuscripts in the Roth Collection Introduction Dr Cecil Roth (1899-1970), the Jewish historian, was born on 5 March 1899 in Dalston, London, the youngest of the four sons of Joseph and Etty Roth. Educated at the City of London School, he saw active service in France in 1918 and then read history at Merton College, Oxford, obtaining a first class degree in modern history in 1922, and a DPhil in 1924; his thesis was published in 1925 as The Last Florentine Republic. In 1928 he married Irene Rosalind Davis. They had no children. Roth soon turned to Jewish studies, his interest from childhood, when he had a traditional religious education and learned Hebrew from the Cairo Genizah scholar Jacob Mann. He supported himself by freelance writing until in 1939 he received a specially created readership in post-biblical Jewish studies at the University of Oxford, where he taught until his retirement in 1964. He then settled in Israel and divided his last years between New York, where he was visiting professor at Queens’ College in City University and Stern College, and Jerusalem. He died in Jerusalem on 21 June 1970. Roth’s literary output was immense, ranging from definitive histories of the Jews both globally and in several particular countries, to bibliographical works, studies of painting, scholarly research, notably on the Dead Sea scrolls, and biographical works. But his crowning achievement was the editorship of the Encyclopaedia Judaica, which appeared in the year of his death. Throughout his life Roth collected both books and manuscripts, and art objects.

    WT/DS320/R Page 141 (b) Summary of the main arguments of the parties315 7.2 With reference to the Panel's question whether panels are permitted to open hearings to public observation under Articles 12 (including Appendix 3), 14.1 and 17.10 of the DSU, the European Communities argues that a panel may adopt working procedures that foresee open hearings, as Article 12.1 of the DSU provides that panels may depart from the working procedures in Appendix 3 after consulting the parties to the dispute. 7.3 The European Communities also argues that this conclusion is not affected by Article 14.1 of the DSU on confidentiality of panel deliberations. The term "deliberations" does not cover the meetings with the parties, for which a different terminology is used in Appendix 3 of the DSU. 7.4 The European Communities considers that in the present case where all the parties have agreed to open hearings, the Panel should accommodate the parties' request. Article 18.2 of the DSU also supports the position that parties are entitled to "waive" the confidentiality of their positions. 7.5 Regarding the legal implications of open hearings on covered persons under the Rules of Conduct, the European Communities considers that no legal issues arise under the Rules of Conduct. In the European Communities view, the Rules of Conduct are and remain fully binding on all covered persons in this dispute, even if the hearings are opened to the public. The Panel's deliberations will in any event not be affected by the opening and remain confidential, as required by Article 14.1 of the DSU.

  • Page Layout in LATEX
    Page layout in LATEX Piet van Oostrum∗ Dept. of Computer Science Utrecht University [email protected] http://www.cs.ruu.nl/people/piet Abstract This article describes how to customize the page layout of your LaTeX documents, i.e how to change page margings and sizes, headers and footers, and the proper placement of ®gures and tables (collectively called ¯oats) on the page. Originally this was the documentation of the fancyheadings package. It did contain also other info, e.g. ad- vanced use of marks. It has now been upgraded to include more, e.g. the handling of ¯oats. The fancyhead- ings documentation has been upgraded to conform to version 2 of this package1. For reasons of compatibility with certain operating systems, the name of the package has been changed to fancyhdr. Although this paper uses LATEX2ε commands, most of the techniques can be used with older LATEXversions with appropriate changes. 1 Introduction A page in a LATEX document is built from various elements as shown in ®gure 1. The body contains the main text of the document together with the so called ¯oats (tables and ®gures). The pages are constructed by LATEX's output routine, which is quite complicated and should therefore not be modi®ed. Some of the packages described in this paper contains small modi®cations to the output routine to accomplish things that cannot be done in another way. You should use these packages to get the desired result rather than ®ddling with the output routine yourself. There a a number of things that you must be aware of: 1.

  • Classifying Human Hand Use and the Activities of Daily Living
    Chapter 10 Classifying Human Hand Use and the Activities of Daily Living Aaron M. Dollar Abstract Humans use their hands for a large variety of tasks during daily life. In this chapter, a discussion of human hand use is presented, including classification schemes for grasping and manipulation behaviors. First, a simple classification of the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) is presented, providing some structure to a terminology that is typically used in an ad hoc manner. Next, an overview of work related to classifications and taxonomies of static grasp types is presented, followed by a study investigating the frequency of use of various grasp types by a house- keeper and machinist. Finally, a taxonomy classifying hand-based manipulation is presented, providing a hand-centric and motion-centric categorization of hand use. These descriptions and classifications of hand use should prove useful to researchers interested in robotic manipulation, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and biomechanics. Keywords Grasping Á Manipulation Á Activities of daily living Á Robotics Á Taxonomy 1 Introduction Due to the complexity of the human hand and the immense variability in tasks that we use our hands for on a day-to-day basis, there has long been a desire for classi- fication schemes to categorize these activities and the hand postures/movements Manuscript received February 11, 2012.
