He can see how the subject progressed and so is able to see which are the highest levels of development.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. According to the characteristics of emergency repair in overhead transmission line accidents, a complexity quantification method for emergency repair scheme is proposed based on the entropy method in software engineering, which is improved by using group AHP (analytical hierarchical process) method and Petri net. Firstly, information structure chart model and process control flowchart model could be built by Petri net. Then impact factors on complexity of emergency repair scheme could be quantified into corresponding entropy values, respectively. Finally, by using group AHP method, weight coefficient of each entropy value would be given before calculating the overall entropy value for the whole emergency repair scheme.

    Analytics for Power Grid Distribution Reliability in New York City Cynthia Rudin, S¸eyda Ertekin MIT Sloan School of Management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, rudin,[email protected] Rebecca Passonneau, Axinia Radeva, Ashish Tomar, Boyi Xie Center for Computational Learning Systems, Columbia University, becky,axinia,ashish,[email protected] Stanley Lewis, Mark Riddle, Debbie Pangsrivinij Con Edison Company of New York, lewiss,riddlem,[email protected] Tyler McCormick Department of Statistics, Department of Sociology, Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences, University of Washington, [email protected] We summarize the first major effort to use analytics for preemptive maintenance and repair of an electrical distribution network. This is a large-scale multi-year effort between scientists and students at Columbia and MIT and engineers from Con Edison, which operates the world's oldest and largest underground electrical system. Con Edison's preemptive maintenance programs are less than a decade old, and are made more effective with the use of analytics developing alongside the maintenance programs themselves. Some of the data used for our projects are historical records dating as far back as the 1880's, and some of the data are free text documents typed by dispatchers. The operational goals of this work are to assist with Con Edison's preemptive inspection and repair program, and its vented cover replacement program. This has a continuing impact on public safety, operating costs, and reliability of electrical service in New York City. Key words : power grid maintenance, machine learning, innovative analytics, knowledge discovery Loss of power is currently one of the most critical threats to the functioning of our soci- ety.

  • A Metaphorical Analysis of John Mayer's Album Continuum By
    Stop this Train: A Metaphorical Analysis of John Mayer’s Album Continuum by Joshua Beal A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: Communication West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas August 2017 ABSTRACT John Mayer’s album Continuum is his third studio album and includes some of his best work. This analysis used a five-step metaphorical approach, as referenced to Ivie (1987), to understand the rhetorical invention of Mayer’s album Continuum and to interpret the metaphorical concepts employed by Mayer. This analysis discovered six tenors: Peace, Spirit, Darkness, Hope, Violence, and Cruelty and their accompanying vehicles. Rhetorical techniques in Mayer’s lyrics can be associated to references to nature, contrasting abstract with concrete terms, and the use of opposites (God/Devil terms). Continuum is an album that incorporates the trials and tribulations of romantic relationships using a combination of blues, soul, and contemporary pop music to underscore the lyrics. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my thesis chair, Dr. Trudy Hanson, and her constant efforts to guide me through an adventure that I will never forget. This experience is as rewarding as it is special to me and I couldn’t have done this without you. I would also like to express my appreciation to the members of my committee, Dr. Jessica Mallard, and Randy Ray. My experience as a graduate student is an experience that I will cherish, and the memories I have collected are priceless. I would also like to express my gratitude to my parents, Raymond and Mary Laura Beal, and my brother, Austin Beal, for their continued support throughout this journey.

Available at: https://scholarcommons.sc.edu/ssl/vol18/iss1/7 This Article is brought to you by the Scottish Literature Collections at Scholar Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Studies in Scottish Literature by an authorized editor of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Ritchie Robertson Science and Myth in John Davidson's Testaments The five long blank-verse monologues which Davidson called his Testaments were all published during the decade before his suicide in 1909. By then his literary reputation had already dwindled. After the brief popularity of Fleet Street Eclogues (1893) and Ballads and Songs (1894), written during his associ­ ation with the Rhymers' Club, his later volumes of verse sold badly, while his original plays were consistently rejected by theatre managers. To support his wife and family Davidson had to rely on hack reviewing and later on reading manuscripts for Grant Richards, his publisher. His acquaintances noticed his naturally kindly character becoming overlaid with bitterness and over-assertiveness. IncreaSingly he led the life of a recluse, discouraging visitors so that they should not observe his poverty. His Testaments, which appeared between 1901 and 1908, were received with indifference, incomprehension or dis­ gust, and regarded as clumsily written, sermonizing exposi­ tions of their author's homespun philosophy.

Although this technique was first documented for Western Civilization by the Roman Pliny the Elder circa 79 AD, evidence of its use prior to his time is found in China, Europe, and elsewhere. Rammed earth achieved notoriety in the United States during three distinct periods in its history: the Jeffersonian era, the Great Depression, and the Back-to-Nature Movement of the 1970s.
