Academic conference

An academic conference or symposium is a conference for researchers (not necessarily academics) to present and discuss their work. Together with academic or scientific journals, conferences provide an important channel for exchange of information between researchers.

Academic conference Overview

Usually a conference will include keynote speakers (often, scholars of some standing, but sometimes individuals from outside academia)

Academic conference Overview

In addition to presentations, conferences also feature panel discussions, round tables on various issues and workshops.

Academic conference Overview

Prospective presenters are usually asked to submit a short abstract of their presentation, which will be reviewed before the presentation is accepted for the meeting. Some disciplines require presenters to submit a paper of about 6–15 pages, which is peer reviewed by members of the program committee or referees chosen by them.

Academic conference Overview

In some disciplines, such as English and other languages, it is common for presenters to read from a prepared script. In other disciplines such as the sciences, presenters usually base their talk around a visual presentation that displays key figures and research results.

Academic conference Overview

A large meeting will usually be called a conference, while a smaller is termed a workshop. They might be single track or multiple track, where the former has only one session at a time, while a multiple track meeting has several parallel sessions with speakers in separate rooms speaking at the same time.

Academic conference Overview

At some conferences, social or entertainment activities such as tours and receptions can be part of the program. Business meetings for learned societies or interest groups can also be part of the conference activities.

Academic conference Overview

The larger the conference, the more likely it is that academic publishing houses may set up displays. Large conferences also may have a career and job search and interview activities.

Academic conference Overview

the themed conference, small conferences organized around a particular topic;

Academic conference Overview

the general conference, a conference with a wider focus, with sessions on a wide variety of topics. These conferences are often organized by regional, national, or international learned societies, and held annually or on some other regular basis.

Academic conference Overview

the professional conference, large conferences not limited to academics but with academically related issues.

Academic conference Overview

Increasing numbers of amplified conferences are being provided which exploit the potential of WiFi networks and mobile devices in order to enable remote participants to contribute to discussions and listen to ideas.

Academic conference Organizing an academic conference

Conferences are usually organized either by a scientific society or by a group of researchers with a common interest. Larger meetings may be handled on behalf of the scientific society by a Professional Conference Organiser or PCO.

Academic conference Organizing an academic conference

The meeting is announced by way of a “Call For Papers” or a Call For Abstracts, which lists the meeting’s topics and tells prospective presenters how to submit their abstracts or papers. Increasingly, submissions take place online using a managed service such as Community of Science or Oxford Abstracts.

Academia.edu Financial history

In November 2011, Academia.edu raised $4.5 million from Spark Capital and True Ventures. Prior to that, it had raised $2.2 million from Spark Ventures, and a range of angel investors including Mark Shuttleworth, Thomas Lehrman, and Rupert Pennant-Rea.

Academia.edu Open science

Academia.edu is a participant in the open science or open access movements, responding to a perceived need in science for instant distribution of research and the need for a peer-review system that occurs alongside distribution, instead of occurring before it. Accordingly, the company has stated its opposition to the Research Works Act.

Academia.edu Reception

TechCrunch remarked that Academia.edu gives academics a “powerful, efficient way to distribute their research” and that it “will let researchers keep tabs on how many people are reading their articles with specialized analytics tools”, and “also does very well in Google search results.”

Academia.edu Domain name

Academia.edu is not a university or institution for higher learning and so under current standards would not qualify for the EDU top level domain. The domain name “Academia.edu” was registered in 1999, prior to the regulations which required .edu domain names to be held by accredited post-secondary institutions. All .edu domain names registered prior to 2001 were grandfathered in and not made subject to the regulation of being an accredited post-secondary institution.

Burson-Marsteller 2000s (decade): Current era

Young & Rubicam became a subsidiary of the media group WPP Group PLC in 2000, and Burson-Marsteller became part of WPP

Burson-Marsteller 2000s (decade): Current era

In December 2005, Burson-Marsteller acquired the Indian firm Genesis PR as a wholly owned subsidiary. Following this acquisition India and China became Burson-Marsteller’s second and third largest markets worldwide, based on number of employees. The renamed Genesis Burson-Marsteller was announced as the company’s hub for the South Asian market in 2008. Prior to the acquisition, since 2002, Genesis had been Burson-Marsteller’s exclusive representative in India.

Burson-Marsteller 2000s (decade): Current era

Mark Penn became the CEO of Burson-Marsteller in December 2005, following a period of instability at the firm during which there were three leadership changes in one year

Burson-Marsteller 2000s (decade): Current era

Penn and Burson-Marsteller received negative media attention in 2008 when his work on behalf of the Colombian government (then seeking a free-trade agreement with the US) became a political liability for the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, who was opposed to a free-trade pact with Colombia. Penn described the dual role an “error in judgment” following which the Colombian government terminated its client relationship. Clinton later revised her opinion in favor of the free-trade pact.

Burson-Marsteller 2000s (decade): Current era

Penn’s leadership at Burson-Marsteller has been cited by PR Week as a model for the public relations industry, particularly combining public affairs experience with public relations. In April 2011, industry expert Paul Holmes named Burson-Marsteller the US Large Agency of the Year, citing its double-digit growth within the US and record 2010 profits as factors in the award, crediting Penn with improved performance and Burson’s “global recovery”.

Burson-Marsteller 2000s (decade): Current era

Notable clients for Burson-Marsteller in the late 2000s (decade) include Ford Motor Company, which took on the company as crisis management consultants in 2009, and American International Group (AIG), on whose behalf the firm undertook crisis management work in 2008 and 2009

Burson-Marsteller 2000s (decade): Current era

In May 2011, Burson-Marsteller was hired by Facebook to conduct a PR attack on Google. Burson-Marsteller contacted a number of media companies and bloggers in an effort to get them to write unflattering stories about Google. The campaign backfired when one of the bloggers went public by posting the emails he received from Burson-Marsteller on the Internet.

This analysis does not take account of the appearance of Learning communities in the United States in the early 1980s. For example, The Evergreen State College, which is widely considered a pioneer in this area, established an intercollegiate learning community in 1984. In 1985, this same college established The Washington Center for Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Education, which focuses on collaborative education approaches, including learning communities as one of its centerpieces.

Politics As an academic discipline

The first academic chair devoted to politics in the United States was the chair of history and political science at Columbia University, first occupied by Prussian émigré Francis Lieber in 1857.

Global governance Academic tool or discipline

In the light of the unclear meaning of the term “global governance” as a concept in international politics, some authors have proposed to define it not in substantive, but in methdological terms

Democracy Popular rule as a façade

The 20th Century Italian thinkers Vilfredo Pareto and Gaetano Mosca (independently) argued that democracy was illusory, and served only to mask the reality of elite rule

Democracy Popular rule as a façade

All political parties in Canada are now cautious about criticism of the high level of immigration, because, as noted by The Globe and Mail, “in the early 1990s, the old Reform Party was branded ‘racist’ for suggesting that immigration levels be lowered from 250,000 to 150,000.” As Professor of Economics Don J

Public administration Academic field

Formally, official academic distinctions were made in the 1910s and 1890s, respectively.

Public administration Academic field

The goals of the field of public administration are related to the democratic values of improving equality, justice, security, efficiency, effectiveness of public services usually in a non-profit, non-taxable venue; business administration, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with taxable profit

Public administration Academic field

Some theorists advocate a bright line differentiation of the professional field from related academic disciplines like political science and sociology; it remains interdisciplinary in nature.

Public administration Academic field

One public administration scholar, Donald Kettl, argues that “…public administration sits in a disciplinary backwater”, because “…[f]or the last generation, scholars have sought to save or replace it with fields of study like implementation, public management, and formal bureaucratic theory”

Public administration Academic field

Public administration theory is the domain in which discussions of the meaning and purpose of government, the role of bureaucracy in supporting democratic governments, budgets, governance, and public affairs takes place

David Parnas Stance on academic evaluation methods

On his November 2007 paper Stop the Numbers Game, he elaborates on several reasons on why the current number-based academic evaluation system used in many fields by universities all over the world (be it either oriented to the amount of publications or the amount of each of those get) is flawed and, instead of generating more advance of the sciences, it leads to knowledge stagnation.

Time 100 – Academic research

The Time 100 has been cited in an academic analysis by Craig Garthwaite and Tim Moore, economists at the University of Maryland, College Park. In light of Oprah Winfrey holding the record for most appearances on the Time 100, the economists decided to measure if Winfrey was influential enough to decide a U.S. presidential election by examining the impact of her endorsement of Barack Obama for president. The economists wrote the following:

Time 100 – Academic research

Oprah Winfrey is a celebrity of nearly unparalleled influence. She has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people six times—more than any other individual, including the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates, George Clooney and Rupert Murdoch. She was named one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th Century, an honor shared with Albert Einstein, Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. She was only one of four people who were

Time 100 – Academic research

included on these lists in both the 20th and 21st Century. The others included Mandela, Gates, and Pope John Paul II…

Time 100 – Academic research

The scope of Winfrey’s influence creates a unique opportunity to examine the effect of endorsements on political outcomes.

CADES

CADES (Computer Aided Design and Evaluation System) was a software engineering repository system produced to support the development of the VME/B Operating System for the ICL New Range – subsequently 2900 – computers.

CADES

From its earliest days, VME/B was developed with the aid of CADES, which was built for the purpose using an underlying IDMS database (latterly upgraded to IDMS(X)). CADES was not merely a version control system for code modules: it was intended to manage all aspects of the software lifecycle from requirements capture through to field maintenance.

CADES

It was the design of CADES that paved the way for the Alvey Project in IPSE (Integrated Project Support Environments) and Process Control Engines.

CADES

Because CADES was used for more than 20 years throughout the development of a large software engineering project, the data collected has been used as input to a number of studies of software evolution.

CADES – Early History of CADES

CADES was conceived in 1970 by David John Pearson and Brian Warboys when working for ICL’s New Range Operating System Technology Centre, OSTECH, in Kidsgrove. Pearson, a theoretical physicist by training, had become a computer simulation specialist and joined ICL in 1968 after working in finite-element modelling and simulation research at Imperial College. Warboys had been chief architect for the ICL System 4 multi-access operating system, Multijob.

CADES – Early History of CADES

ICL’s commitment to large scale software development for the 2900 Series of computers provided the basis for the Pearson and Warboys early work on a new software development environment which would address the issues of designer/programmer productivity, design integrity, evaluation and testing, version control and systems regression.

CADES – Early History of CADES

Design specifications written in SDL were processed by the Design Analyser, before being input to the CADES Product Database, a design and implementation database supporting its own query language and forming the kernel of the Product Information System.

CADES – Early History of CADES

The intention was that these designs could be evaluated/simulated using the Animator, and S3 implementation code automatically generated from them using the Environment Processor. Build generation and version control was also based on the Product Database, resulting in a highly disciplined approach to new system builds. System Regression was therefore controlled from a very early stage in the software life-cycle.

CADES – Fundamentals of CADES

In trying to control all the concurrent the developments of VME/B, each development was sub-divided for easier management. This is analogous to a book, where chapters represent significant components within VME (kernel, file store, etc.). Within each chapter the paragraphs then represented sub-systems within. Development activity of each sub-system created specific versions to manage.

CADES – Fundamentals of CADES

This, coupled with a suite of tools, and the use of SDL as the development language, version history and the concept of trusted source code (that is code that has passed QA and subsequently resides within CADES filestore) improved development time whilst providing satisfactory audit trails and QA processes.

CADES – Fundamentals of CADES

In a similar fashion CADES also retained information with regard to constant values (aka literals), user-defined types and user-defined structures.

CADES – Development using CADES

Development under CADES was achieved used a suite of tools known as MODPRO (Module Processing) which acted as an interface (or broker) between developer and CADES. These tools enabled the developer to focus more on development that administrative, QA or SCM tasks. It was not necessary to know how to manipulate data within CADES, the application generated the required DNL (Data Navigation Language) to achieve the required results.

CADES – Development using CADES

Then, again with information from CADES, when used with MODPRO tool EPETC (aka Environmental Processor or EP etc.) enabled the resultant file to be correctly targeted for S3 or SCL compilation

Facade engineering

Building facades make a major contribution to the overall aesthetic and technical performance of a building. Specialist facade engineers operate within technical divisions of facade manufacturing companies, while some structural engineers act as facade consultants for architects, building owners, cladding manufacturers and construction managers. Projects can include new buildings and recladding of existing buildings.

Facade engineering

The facade engineer must consider the performance of the facade design with regards to air-tightness, thermal performance (Heat losses and solar gains), daylight penetration, Acoustic performance, and Fire resistance as well as the overall desired aesthetic for the facade.

Facade engineering

Facade engineering requires a blend of skills ranging from structural engineering through to building physics, architecture, manufacturing, materials science, dynamics, programming, procurement, project management and construction techniques.

Facade engineering

The professional body that looks after the development of the industry is the Society of Facade Engineering.

Embarcadero Delphi

Delphi’s compilers use their own Object Pascal dialect of Pascal and generate native code for 32- and 64-bit Windows Operating Systems, as well as 32-bit Mac OS X, iOS and Android. As of late 2011 support for the Linux Operating System was planned by Embarcadero.

Embarcadero Delphi

Delphi was originally developed by Borland as a rapid application development tool for Windows, and as the successor of Borland Pascal. Delphi and its C++ counterpart, C++Builder, shared many core components, notably the IDE and VCL, but remained separate until the release of RAD Studio 2007. RAD Studio is a shared host for Delphi, C++Builder, and others.

Embarcadero Delphi

In 2006, Borland’s developer tools section were transferred to a wholly owned subsidiary known as CodeGear, which was sold to Embarcadero Technologies in 2008.

Embarcadero Delphi – History

Delphi was originally one of many codenames of a pre-release development tool project at Borland. Borland developer Danny Thorpe suggested the Delphi codename in reference to the Oracle at Delphi. One of the design goals of the product was to provide database connectivity to programmers as a key feature and a popular database package at the time was Oracle database; hence, “If you want to talk to [the] Oracle, go to Delphi”.

Embarcadero Delphi – History

As development continued towards the first release, the Delphi codename gained popularity among the development team and beta testing group. However, the Borland marketing leadership preferred a functional product name over an iconic name and made preparations to release the product under the name “Borland AppBuilder”.

Embarcadero Delphi – History

Shortly before the release of the Borland product, Novell AppBuilder was released, leaving Borland in need of a new product name. After much debate and many market research surveys, the Delphi codename became the Delphi product name.

Embarcadero Delphi – History

The chief architect behind Delphi was Anders Hejlsberg, who had developed Turbo Pascal. He was persuaded to move to Microsoft in 1996.

Embarcadero Delphi – History

On February 8, 2006 Borland announced that it was looking for a buyer for its IDE and database line of products, including Delphi, to concentrate on its ALM line.

Embarcadero Delphi – History

On November 14, 2006 Borland transferred the development tools group to an independent subsidiary company named CodeGear, instead of selling it.

Embarcadero Delphi – History

Borland sold CodeGear to Embarcadero Technologies in 2008. Embarcadero retained the CodeGear division created by Borland to identify its tool and database offerings, but identified its own database tools under the DatabaseGear name.

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Delphi (later known as Delphi 1) was released in 1995 for the 16-bit Windows 3.1, and was an early example of what came to be known as Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Delphi 2, released in 1996, supported 32-bit Windows environments. Delphi 1 was bundled with it for creation of 16-bit Windows 3.1 applications. New Quickreport components replacing Borland ReportSmith. It was then later turned into Java.

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Delphi 3, released in 1997, added new VCL components encapsulating the 4.71 version of Windows Common Controls (such as Rebar and Toolbar), TDataset architecture separated from BDE, DLL debugging, the code insight technology, component packages, component templates, DecisionCube and Teechart components for statistical graphing, WebBroker, ActiveForms, MIDAS three tier architecture, component packages and integration with COM through interfaces.

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Inprise Delphi 4 was released in 1998. IDE came with a completely overhauled editor and became dockable. VCL added support for ActionLists anchors and constraints. Additional improvements were method overloading, dynamic arrays, Windows 98 support, Java interoperability, high performance database drivers, CORBA development, and Microsoft BackOffice support. It was the last version shipped with Delphi 1 for 16 bit programming.

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Borland Delphi 5 was released in 1999. Added concept of frames, parallel development, translation capabilities, enhanced integrated debugger, XML support, ADO database support and reference counting interfaces

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

In 2001 Borland released a Linux version of Delphi, named Kylix. The IDE was dependent on the Wine libraries rather than Linux’s native system libraries (glibc) in order to get a product out quickly and relatively cheaply. The expense of developing a native glibc version of Kylix, combined with the lack of Linux adoption among programmers at the time, caused sales to go soft, and Kylix was abandoned after version 3. This was the first attempt to add Linux support in the Delphi product family.

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Kylix used the new CLX cross-platform framework, instead of Delphi’s VCL.

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Attempts to support both Linux and Windows for cross-platform development were made, and a cross-platform alternative to the VCL known as CLX shipped in 2001 with the release of Delphi 6. This was the second attempt to add Linux support to the Delphi product family (see Kylix above).

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Delphi 6 included the same CLX version (CLX 1) as the first version of Kylix. CLX 1 had been created before Delphi 6; its feature set was based on VCL 5 and lacked some features added to the VCL 6 shipped with Delphi 6.

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Delphi 7, released in August 2002, became the standard version used by more Delphi developers than any other single version. It is one of the most successful IDEs created by Borland because of its stability, speed and low hardware requirements, and remained in active use as of 2011. Delphi 7 added support for Windows XP Themes, and added more support for building Web applications. It was the last version of Delphi which could be used without mandatory software activation.

Embarcadero Delphi – Early Borland Years (1995-2004)

Delphi 8, released December 2003, was a .NET-only release that compiled Delphi Object Pascal code into .NET CIL; the IDE was rewritten for this purpose

Embarcadero Delphi – Later Borland Years (2004-2008)

The next version, Delphi 2005 (Delphi 9, also Borland Developer Studio 3.0), included the Win32 and .NET development in a single IDE, reiterating Borland’s commitment to Win32 developers

Embarcadero Delphi – Later Borland Years (2004-2008)

In late 2005 Delphi 2006 (Delphi 10, Borland Developer Studio 4.0) was released and combined development of C# and Delphi.NET, Delphi Win32 and C++ (Preview when it was shipped but got stable in Service Pack 1) into a single IDE. It was much more stable than Delphi 8 or Delphi 2005 when shipped, and improved even more with the release of service packs and several hotfixes.

Embarcadero Delphi – Later Borland Years (2004-2008)

Turbo Delphi and C++

Embarcadero Delphi – Later Borland Years (2004-2008)

On September 6, 2006 The Developer Tools Group (the working name of the not yet spun off company) of Borland Software Corporation released single-language versions of Borland Developer Studio components, bringing back the Turbo name

Embarcadero Delphi – Later Borland Years (2004-2008)

Delphi 2007 (Delphi 11), the first version by CodeGear, was released on March 16, 2007

Embarcadero Delphi – Later Borland Years (2004-2008)

Prism is a separate product line with new releases; Embarcadero Delphi Prism XE2 was released at about the same time as Delphi XE2.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

Delphi 2009 (Delphi 12, code named Tiburón), added many new features such as completely reworking the VCL and RTL for full Unicode support, and added generics and anonymous methods for Win32 native development. Support for .NET development was dropped from the mainstream Delphi IDE starting with this version, and was catered for by the new Delphi Prism.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

Delphi 2010 (code-named Weaver, aka Delphi 14; there was no version 13), was released on August 25, 2009 and is the second Unicode release of Delphi. It includes a new compiler run-time type information (RTTI) system, support for Windows 7 direct 2D, touch screen and gestures, a source code formatter, debugger visualizers and the option to also have the old style component palette in the IDE. The new RTTI system makes larger executables than previous versions.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

Delphi XE (aka Delphi 2011, code named Fulcrum), was released on August 30, 2010.With Delphi support for Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure were bundled.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

On January 27, 2011 Embarcadero announced the availability of a new Starter Edition which gives independent developers, students and micro businesses a slightly reduced feature set for a price less than a quarter of that of the next-cheapest version.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

On September 1, 2011 Embarcadero released RAD Studio XE2 (code-named Pulsar) which included Delphi XE2, C++Builder, Prism XE2 and RadPHP XE2.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

Delphi XE2 natively supports 64-bit Windows (except the starter edition), in addition to the long-supported 32-bit versions, with some backwards compatibility. Applications for 64-bit platforms can be compiled, but not tested or run, on the 32-bit platform. The XE2 IDE cannot debug 64-bit programs on Windows 8 and above.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

Embarcadero says that Linux Operating System support “is being considered for the roadmap”, as is Android, and that they are “committed to ..

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

Unfortunately, iOS platforms development works only with XCode 4.2.1 and lower, OSX version 10.7 and lower, and iOS SDK 4.3 and earlier. This limitation will be removed in 2013 release of Delphi (and RAD Studio), which will support iOS development natively.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

On September 4, 2012 Embarcadero released RAD Studio XE3 which included Delphi XE3, and C++Builder.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

Delphi XE3 natively supports both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows (including Windows 8), and provides support for Mac OS X with the Firemonkey 2/FM² framework. iOS support was dropped with XE3 release initially (with intent to add support back in with a separate product – Mobile Studio), but applications can continue to be targeted to that platform by developing with Delphi XE2.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

On April 22, 2013 Embarcadero released RAD Studio XE4 which included Delphi XE4, and C++Builder.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

Delphi XE4 is the first release of the FireMonkey mobile platform, featuring cross-platform Mobile Application development for the iOS Simulator and iOS Devices.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

In this version Embarcadero introduces two new compilers for Delphi Mobile Applications (the Delphi Cross Compiler for the iOS Simulator and the Delphi Cross Compiler for the iOS Devices). These compilers significantly differ from the Win64 desktop compiler as they do not support COM, inline assembly of CPU instructions, and six older string types such as PChar.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

The new mobile compilers advance the notion of eliminating pointers. The new compilers require an explicit style of marshalling data to/from external APIs and libraries.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

Delphi XE4 Run-Time Library (RTL) is optimized for 0-based, read-only (immutable) Unicode strings, that cannot be indexed for the purpose of changing their individual characters. The RTL also adds status-bit based exception routines for ARM CPUs that do not generate exception interrupts.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

On September 12, 2013 Embarcadero released RAD Studio XE5 with includes Delphi XE5 and C++Builder.

Embarcadero Delphi – Embarcadero Years (2008-)

It adds support for Android (specifically: ARM v7 devices running Gingerbread (2.3.3-2.3.7), Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3-4.0.4) and Jelly Bean (4.1.x, 4.2.x, 4.3.x)) and iOS 7.

Embarcadero Delphi – Plans

Embarcadero makes available a “roadmap” of plans. As of April 2012 a roadmap for RAD Studio, Delphi and C++Builder was available. The roadmap appears to have been posted on or before September 2009.

Embarcadero Delphi – Editions and prices

Embarcadero publishes feature matrices summarising the differences in functionality.

Embarcadero Delphi – Distinguishing features

Delphi supports rapid application development (RAD) by introducing features such as application framework and visual window layout designer that reduced application prototyping times.

Embarcadero Delphi – Distinguishing features

Delphi supports rapid native cross-compilation.

Embarcadero Delphi – Distinguishing features

Delphi uses the Pascal-based programming language called Object Pascal, and compiles Delphi source code into native x86 code

Embarcadero Delphi – Distinguishing features

Database connectivity is supported, and Delphi supplies several database components. The Visual Component Library (VCL) includes many database-aware and database access components.

Embarcadero Delphi – Distinguishing features

Later versions have included upgraded and enhanced Runtime Library routines provided by the community group FastCode, established in 2003.

Embarcadero Delphi – Advantages

Delphi is a strongly typed high-level programming language, intended to be easy to use and originally based on the earlier Object Pascal language

Embarcadero Delphi – Advantages

Strings can be concatenated by using the ‘+’ operator, rather than using functions. For dedicated string types the programmer does not have to handle memory management as Delphi’s memory manager handles this. The improved memory manager introduced with Borland Developer Studio 2006 provides functions to locate memory leaks.

Embarcadero Delphi – Advantages

The language is suitable for Rapid Application Development (RAD) and Delphi includes an integrated IDE

Embarcadero Delphi – Advantages

The quick optimizing single pass compiler can compile to a single executable, simplifying distribution and eliminating DLL version issues. Delphi can also generate standard DLLs, ActiveX DLLs, COM automation servers and Windows services.

Embarcadero Delphi – Advantages

The Delphi IDEs since Delphi 2005 increasingly support refactoring features such as method extraction and the possibility to create UML models from the source code or to modify the source through changes made in the model.

Embarcadero Delphi – Advantages

Delphi has large communities on Usenet and the web (e.g. newsgroups.codegear.com) which help solving problems of individual developers. Many Codegear employees actively participate in those communities. Voluntary team TeamB also helps out.

Embarcadero Delphi – Advantages

Each new release of Delphi attempts to be as compatible as possible with earlier versions, so that already-developed software and libraries can be retained. Incompatibility necessarily arises as new functionality is added, e.g., with support by Firemonkey of other platforms than Windows.

Embarcadero Delphi – Limitations

The design of the standard class libraries (VCL/RTL) had become somewhat dated and restrictive; Embarcadero released in 2011 as part of Delphi XE2 a new compiler and cross-platform VCL replacement called FireMonkey, based on Direct3D and OpenGL, which runs on other platforms in addition to Windows, supporting their features, but is not fully backwards-compatible with VCL applications

Embarcadero Delphi – RAD Studio

Embarcadero sells RAD Studio, a suite of development tools which consists of Delphi, C++Builder, Embarcadero Prism and HTML5 Builder. Like Delphi, there are different editions of RAD Studio: Professional edition, Enterprise edition, Ultimate edition and Architect edition.

Embarcadero Delphi – InterBase

InterBase integrates natively to Delphi and C++Builder for client/server or embedded development and can be accessed by all major languages and platforms in the market with database connection protocols like ODBC, ADO, ADO.NET and even with Java by JDBC/ODBC Bridge or Java type 4 connectors.

Embarcadero Delphi – JBuilder

Tool for Java development based on Eclipse since version JBuilder 2007.

Embarcadero Delphi – RadPHP (formerly Delphi for PHP)

RadPHP (now superseded by HTML5 Builder) was an IDE for PHP that provides true RAD functionality. It has a form designer similar to that of Delphi or Visual Basic, and an integrated debugger based on the Apache web server. It also includes a VCL library ported to PHP. Unlike other IDEs it supports Web 2.0 features such as AJAX.

Embarcadero Delphi – RadPHP (formerly Delphi for PHP)

Delphi for PHP was announced on March 20, 2007, renamed on October 2010 to RadPHP, and is based on Qadram Q studio. Embarcadero acquired Qadram in January 2011.

Embarcadero Delphi – Delphi Prism

Delphi Prism (now Embarcadero Prism) is a product from Embarcadero based on the Oxygene programming language (previously known as Chrome). Delphi Prism is the replacement for Delphi.NET, which was discontinued. The Prism product runs inside the Visual Studio IDE and it is part of the “RAD Studio” IDE environment.

Islamophobia – Academic and political debate

Paul Jackson, in a critical study of the anti-Islamic English Defence League, argues that the term Islamophobia creates a stereotype where “any criticism of Muslim societies [can be] dismissed …” The term feeds “a language of polarised polemics … to close down discussion on genuine areas of criticism …” Consequently, the term is “losing much [of its] analytical value”.

Islamophobia – Academic and political debate

Professor Eli Göndör wrote that the term Islamophobia should be replaced with “muslimophobia”.

Islamophobia – Academic and political debate

Professor Mohammad H

Islamophobia – Academic and political debate

Other critics argue that the term conflates criticism of “Islamic totalitarianism” with hatred of Muslims.

Islamophobia – Academic and political debate

In the wake of the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, a group of 12 writers, including novelist Salman Rushdie, signed a manifesto entitled Together facing the new totalitarianism in the French weekly satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, warning against the use of the term Islamophobia to prevent criticism of “Islamic totalitarianism”

Islamophobia – Academic and political debate

Alan Posener and Alan Johnson have written that, while the idea of Islamophobia is sometimes misused, those who claim that hatred of Muslims is justified as opposition to Islamism actually undermine the struggle against Islamism

DNA nanotechnology – Strand displacement cascades

Strand displacement cascades allow for isothermal operation of the assembly or computational process, as opposed to traditional nucleic acid assembly’s requirement for a thermal annealing step, where the temperature is raised and then slowly lowered to ensure proper formation of the desired structure

DNA nanotechnology – Strand displacement cascades

Strand displacement complexes can be used to make molecular logic gates capable of complex computation

DNA nanotechnology – Strand displacement cascades

Another use of strand displacement cascades is to make dynamically assembled structures. These use a hairpin structure for the reactants, so that when the input strand binds, the newly revealed sequence is on the same molecule rather than disassembling. This allows new opened hairpins to be added to a growing complex. This approach has been used to make simple structures such as three- and four-arm junctions and dendrimers.

Informatics (academic field)

Importantly however, informatics as an academic field is not explicitly dependent upon technological aspects of information, while computer science and information technology are.

Informatics (academic field) – Etymology

In 1957 the German computer scientist Karl Steinbuch coined the word Informatik by publishing a paper called Informatik: Automatische Informationsverarbeitung (“Informatics: Automatic Information Processing”). The English term Informatics is sometimes understood as meaning the same as computer science. The German word Informatik is usually translated to English as computer science.

Informatics (academic field) – Etymology

The French term informatique was coined in 1962 by Philippe Dreyfus together with various translations—informatics (English), also proposed independently and simultaneously by Walter F. Bauer and associates who co-founded Informatics Inc., and informatica (Italian, Spanish, Romanian, Portuguese, Dutch), referring to the application of computers to store and process information.

Informatics (academic field) – Etymology

The term was coined as a combination of “information” and “automatic” to describe the science of automating information interactions. The morphology—informat-ion + -ics—uses “the accepted form for names of sciences, as conics, linguistics, optics, or matters of practice, as economics, politics, tactics”, and so, linguistically, the meaning extends easily to encompass both the science of information and the practice of information processing.

Informatics (academic field) – History

This new term was adopted across Western Europe, and, except in English, developed a meaning roughly translated by the English ‘computer science’, or ‘computing science’

Informatics (academic field) – History

Informatics is the discipline of science which investigates the structure and properties (not specific content) of scientific information, as well as the regularities of scientific information activity, its theory, history, methodology and organization.

Informatics (academic field) – History

Usage has since modified this definition in three ways

Informatics (academic field) – History

In the English-speaking world the term informatics was first widely used in the compound, ‘medical informatics’, taken to include “the cognitive, information processing, and communication tasks of medical practice, education, and research, including information science and the technology to support these tasks”. Many such compounds are now in use; they can be viewed as different areas of applied informatics.

Informatics (academic field) – History

Informatics encompasses the study of systems that represent, process, and communicate information

Informatics (academic field) – History

In 1989, the first International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) was held in Bulgaria. The olympiad involves two five hour days of intense competition. Four students are selected from each participating country to attend and compete for Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals. The 2008 IOI was held in Cairo, Egypt.

Informatics (academic field) – History

The first example of a degree level qualification in Informatics occurred in 1982 when Plymouth Polytechnic (now the University of Plymouth) offered a four year BSc(Honours) degree in Computing and Informatics – with an initial intake of only 35 students. The course still runs today making it the longest available qualification in the subject.

Informatics (academic field) – History

A broad interpretation of informatics, as “the study of the structure, algorithms, behaviour, and interactions of natural and artificial computational systems,” was introduced by the University of Edinburgh in 1994 when it formed the grouping that is now its School of Informatics. This meaning is now (2006) increasingly used in the United Kingdom.

Informatics (academic field) – History

The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, of the UK Funding Councils, includes a new, Computer Science and Informatics, unit of assessment (UoA), whose scope is described as follows:

Informatics (academic field) – History

The UoA includes the study of methods for acquiring, storing, processing, communicating and reasoning about information, and the role of interactivity in natural and artificial systems, through the implementation, organisation and use of computer hardware, software and other resources. The subjects are characterised by the rigorous application of analysis, experimentation and design.

Informatics (academic field) – History

At the Indiana University School of Informatics (Bloomington, Indianapolis and Southeast), informatics is defined as “the art, science and human dimensions of information technology” and “the study, application, and social consequences of technology.” It is also defined in Informatics 101, Introduction to Informatics as “the application of information technology to the arts, sciences, and professions.” These definitions are widely accepted in the United States, and differ from British usage in omitting the study of natural computation.

Informatics (academic field) – History

At the University of California, Irvine Department of Informatics, informatics is defined as “the interdisciplinary study of the design, application, use and impact of information technology

Informatics (academic field) – History

At the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Informatics interdisciplinary major, informatics is defined as “the study of information and the ways information is used by and affects human beings and social systems

Informatics (academic field) – History

Internet Informatics: An applied track in which students experiment with technologies behind Internet-based information systems and acquire skills to map problems to deployable Internet-based solutions. This track will replace Computational Informatics in Fall 2013.

Informatics (academic field) – History

Data Mining & Information Analysis: Integrates the collection, analysis, and visualization of complex data and its critical role in research, business, and government to provide students with practical skills and a theoretical basis for approaching challenging data analysis problems.

Informatics (academic field) – History

Social Computing: Advances in computing have created opportunities for studying patterns of social interaction and developing systems that act as introducers, recommenders, coordinators, and record-keepers

Informatics (academic field) – History

One of the most significant areas of applied informatics is that of organizational informatics. Organisational informatics is fundamentally interested in the application of information, information systems and ICT within organisations of various forms including private sector, public sector and voluntary sector organisations. As such, organisational informatics can be seen to be sub-category of social informatics and a super-category of business informatics.

Pink – Academic dress

In the French academic dress system, the five traditional fields of study (Arts, Science, Medicine, Law and Divinity) are each symbolized by a distinctive color, which appears in the academic dress of the people who graduated in this field. Redcurrant, an extremely red shade of pink, is the distinctive color for Medicine (and other health-related fields) fr:Groseille (couleur).

Publishing – Academic publishing

Academic publishers are typically either book or periodical publishers that have specialized in academic subjects. Some, like university presses, are owned by scholarly institutions. Others are commercial businesses that focus on academic subjects.

Publishing – Academic publishing

The development of the printing press represented a revolution for communicating the latest hypotheses and research results to the academic community and supplemented what a scholar could do personally. But this improvement in the efficiency of communication created a challenge for libraries, which have had to accommodate the weight and volume of literature.

Publishing – Academic publishing

One of the key functions that academic publishers provide is to manage the process of peer review. Their role is to facilitate the impartial assessment of research and this vital role is not one that has yet been usurped, even with the advent of social networking and online document sharing.

Publishing – Academic publishing

An alternative approach to the corporate model is open access, the online distribution of individual articles and academic journals without charge to readers and libraries

History of science – Academic study

As an academic field, history of science began with the publication of William Whewell’s History of the Inductive Sciences (first published in 1837)

History of science – Academic study

The history of mathematics, history of technology, and history of philosophy are distinct areas of research and are covered in other articles. Mathematics is closely related to but distinct from natural science (at least in the modern conception). Technology is likewise closely related to but clearly differs from the search for empirical truth.

History of science – Academic study

History of science is an academic discipline, with an international community of specialists. Main professional organizations for this field include the History of Science Society, the British Society for the History of Science, and the European Society for the History of Science.

Facade pattern

The facade pattern (or façade pattern) is a software design pattern commonly used with object-oriented programming. The name is by analogy to an architectural facade.

Facade pattern

A facade is an object that provides a simplified interface to a larger body of code, such as a class library. A facade can:

Facade pattern

make a software library easier to use, understand and test, since the facade has convenient methods for common tasks;

Facade pattern

reduce dependencies of outside code on the inner workings of a library, since most code uses the facade, thus allowing more flexibility in developing the system;

Facade pattern – Usage

A Facade is used when one wants an easier or simpler interface to an underlying implementation object. Alternatively, an adapter is used when the wrapper must respect a particular interface and must support polymorphic behavior. A decorator makes it possible to add or alter behavior of an interface at run-time.

Facade pattern – Structure

The objects are using the Facade Pattern to access resources from the Packages.

Facade pattern – Example

This is an abstract example of how a client (“you”) interacts with a facade (the “computer”) to a complex system (internal computer parts, like CPU and HardDrive).

Facade pattern – Example

public void load(long position, byte[] data) { … }

Facade pattern – Example

public byte[] read(long lba, int size) { … }

Age of Enlightenment – Learned academies

Academies demonstrate the rising interest in science along with its increasing secularization, as evidenced by the small number of clerics who were members (13 percent).

Age of Enlightenment – Learned academies

The presence of the French academies in the public sphere cannot be attributed to their membership; although the majority of their members were bourgeois, the exclusive institution was only open to elite Parisian scholars. They did perceive themselves to be “interpreters of the sciences for the people”. Indeed, it was with this in mind that academians took it upon themselves to disprove the popular pseudo-science of mesmerism.

Age of Enlightenment – Learned academies

However, the strongest case for the French Academies’ being part of the public sphere comes from the concours académiques (roughly translated as ‘academic contests’) they sponsored throughout France. As Jeremy L. Caradonna argues in a recent article in the Annales, “Prendre part au siècle des Lumières: Le concours académique et la culture intellectuelle au XVIIIe siècle”, these academic contests were perhaps the most public of any institution during the Enlightenment.

Age of Enlightenment – Learned academies

L’Académie française revived a practice dating back to the Middle Ages when it revived public contests in the mid-17th century

Age of Enlightenment – Learned academies

More importantly, the contests were open to all, and the enforced anonymity of each submission guaranteed that neither gender nor social rank would determine the judging. Indeed, although the “vast majority” of participants belonged to the wealthier strata of society (“the liberal arts, the clergy, the judiciary, and the medical profession”), there were some cases of the popular classes submitting essays, and even winning.

Age of Enlightenment – Learned academies

Similarly, a significant number of women participated – and won – the competitions. Of a total of 2 300 prize competitions offered in France, women won 49 – perhaps a small number by modern standards, but very significant in an age in which most women did not have any academic training. Indeed, the majority of the winning entries were for poetry competitions, a genre commonly stressed in women’s education.

Age of Enlightenment – Learned academies

In England, the Royal Society of London also played a significant role in the public sphere and the spread of Enlightenment ideas

Age of Enlightenment – Learned academies

However, not just any witness was considered to be credible; “Oxford professors were accounted more reliable witnesses than Oxfordshire peasants.” Two factors were taken into account: a witness’s knowledge in the area; and a witness’s “moral constitution”. In other words, only civil society were considered for Boyle’s public.

Modeling and simulation – M&S Science contributes to the Theory of M&S, defining the academic foundations of the discipline.

M&S Engineering is rooted in Theory but looks for applicable solution patterns. The focus is general methods that can be applied in various problem domains.

Modeling and simulation – M&S Science contributes to the Theory of M&S, defining the academic foundations of the discipline.

M&S Applications solve real world problems by focusing on solutions using M&S. Often, the solution results from applying a method, but many solutions are very problem domain specific and are derived from problem domain expertise and not from any general M&S theory or method.

National Academies Press

The NAP’s stated mission is seemingly self-contradictory: to disseminate as widely as possible the works of the National Academies, and to be financially self-sustaining through sales

National Academies Press

The National Academy Press (as it was known in 1993) was the first self-sustaining publisher to make its material available on the Web, for free, in an open access model. By 1997, 1000 reports were available as sequential page images (starting with i, then ii, then iii, then iv…), with a minimal navigational envelope. Their experience up to 1998 was already indicating that open access led to increased sales, at least with page images as the final viewable object.

National Academies Press

From 1998 on, the NAP developed the “Openbook” online navigational envelope, producing stable page URLs, and enabling chapter-, page-, and in-book search navigation to images of the book pages (which were increasingly replaced by HTML chunks), to enable the user to browse the book. Notably, this page-by-page navigation was produced long before Amazon’s Look Inside, or Google’s Book Search.

National Academies Press

1998 through the present, the NAP gradually evolved the Openbook to first enable better external findability (making the HTML page for the first page image of every chapter include the first 10 and last 10 pages of OCRed ASCII text of the chapter, to produce a robustly indexable first chapter page), as well as exploring the boundaries of knowledge discovery and exploration, implementing “Related Titles” in 2001, the “Find More Like This Chapter” in 2002, “Chapter Skim” in 2003, “Search Builder” and “Reference Finder” in 2004, and “Active Skim” and enhanced “Search Builder” in 2005.

National Academies Press – Online pricing experiment

In 2003, the NAP published the results of an innovative online experiment to determine the “cannibalization effect” that might obtain, if the NAP gave all reports away online, in PDF format.

National Academies Press – Online pricing experiment

Developed as a Mellon-funded grant, and working with the University of Maryland Business School, the experiment interrupted buyers just before finalizing an online order, with an opportunity to acquire the work in PDF for a randomly generated discount: 50%, 10%, 100%, 70% off the list price, and if the answer was “no,” the NAP would offer one more step off the price.

National Academies Press – Online pricing experiment

The conclusion resulted in 42% of the customers, when interrupted when buying a print book online, would take the free PDF of the book

National Academies Press – Online pricing experiment

Interestingly, through mid-2006, as reported at the AAUP annual meeting, as a publisher the NAP remained financially self-sustaining — even while progressively expanding the utility of the online experience, and increasing its online traffic and dissemination. By mid-2009, the NAP’s site was still receiving 1.5 million unique visitors per month, while generating 35% of the NAP’s overall sales.

National Academies Press – Online pricing experiment

Multiple articles and presentations by Barbara Kline Pope, Executive Director of the NAP, and by Michael Jon Jensen, Director of Publishing Technologies for the NAP from 1998 through 2008, provide background on the evolving business strategies for “free in an environment of content abundance” that the National Academies Press continues to pursue.

Barricade

Barricade, from the French barrique (barrel), is any object or structure that creates a barrier or obstacle to control, block passage or force the flow of traffic in the desired direction. Adopted as a military term, a barricade denotes any improvised field fortification, most notably on the city streets during urban warfare.

Barricade

Barricades also include temporary traffic barricades designed with the goal of dissuading passage into a protected or hazardous area or large slabs of cement whose goal is to actively prevent forcible passage by a vehicle. Stripes on barricades and panel devices slope downward in the direction traffic must travel.

Barricade

There are also pedestrian barricades – sometimes called bike rack barricades for their resemblance to a now obsolete form of bicycle stand, or police barriers. They originated in France approximately 50 years ago and are now produced around the world. They were first produced in the U.S. 40 years ago by Friedrichs Mfg for New Orleans’s Mardi Gras parades.

Barricade

Finally anti-vehicle barriers and blast barriers are sturdy barricades that can respectively counter vehicle and bomb attacks. As of recent, movable blast barriers have been designed by NTU that can be used to protect humanitarian relief workers, and villagers and their homes in unsafe areas.

Barricade – In history

In actuality, although barricades came to widespread public awareness in that uprising (and in the equally momentous “Second Day of the Barricades” on 27 August 1648), none of several conflicting claims concerning who may have “invented” the barricade stand up to close scrutiny for the simple reason that Blaise de Monluc had already documented insurgents’ use of the technique at least as early as 1569 in religiously based conflicts in southwestern France.

Barricade – In history

Contrary to a number of historical sources, barricades were present in various incidents of the great French Revolution of 1789, but they never played a central role in those events

Barricade – In history

Barricade references appear in many colloquial expressions and are used, often metaphorically, in poems and songs celebrating radical social movements.

Barricade – Gallery

Among the materials frequently used for barricade construction are sandbags, pavement slabs and large vehicles

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

After serving as a lieutenant in the United States Navy during World War II, Commoner moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where he became a professor of plant physiology at Washington University. He taught there for 34 years and during this period, in 1966, he founded the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems to study “the science of the total environment”.

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

In the late 1950s, Commoner became well known for his opposition to nuclear weapons testing, becoming part of the team which conducted the Baby Tooth Survey, demonstrating the presence of Strontium 90 in children’s teeth as a direct result of nuclear fallout

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

In Poverty and Population, rapid population growth of the developing world is the result that standards have not been met. He argues that it is poverty that “initiates the rise in population” before leveling off, not the other way around. These developing countries were introduced to the standards, but were never able to fully adopt them, thus not allowing these countries to advance and limit their population growth.

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

Commoner continues to describe the reason why developing countries are still “forgotten” because of colonialism

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

“Thus colonialism involves a kind of demographic parasitism: the second population balancing phase of the demographic transition in the advanced country is fed by suppression of that same phase in the colony”

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

This is can also be seen in the study of India and contraceptives, in which family planning failed to reduce the birthrate because the people felt that “in order to advance their economic situation”, independent children were a necessity to gain better opportunities. The studies show that “population control in a country like India depends on the economically motivated desire to limit fertility”.

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

The solution presented in Commoner’s argument is that wealthier nations need to help the exploited or colonized countries develop and “achieve the level of welfare” that developed nations have

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

He feels that poverty is the main cause of the population crisis. If the reason behind overpopulation in poor nations is because of exploitation, than the only way to end it is to “redistribute [the wealth], among nations and within them”.

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

In his 1971 bestselling book The Closing Circle, Commoner suggested that the American economy should be restructured to conform to the unbending laws of ecology

Barry Commoner – Career in academia

Commoner published another bestseller in 1976, The Poverty of Power
