Richard Hakluyt; The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques, and Discoveries of the English Nation: (in English) Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations comprises a startlingly thorough and vivid record of English commerce, travel, and international politics through the Sixteenth Century. Hakluyt (1552?-1616) spent years putting together a compendium of all major English journeys "made by sea or overland to the remote & farthest distant quarters of the Earth at any time within the compasse of these 1600 yeares," resulting in this treasure-trove of primary sources. The Principal Navigations includes first-hand accounts of voyages to the New World, the Holy Land, Russia, Africa, and Asia; a lengthy description of the English fleet's encounter with the Spanish Armada; correspondence, patents, and passports written by English monarchs and their foreign counterparts (including the Sophy of Persia, the Emperor of Russia, and the "Great Turke"); ship manifestos; trade documents (including ordinances and instructions on how to conduct trade in foreign ports); personal letters; and much more. This is both an invaluable scholarly resource and an excellent choice for casual browsing. [Text] (2.60)

... ; Weather conditions and Bell's palsy: five-year study and review of the literature: (in English) AbstractBackgroundClimatic or meteorological condition changes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Bell's palsy (BP). We evaluate the influence of meteorological parameters, such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, and their variation and covariation on the incidence of BP and present a review of the literature on the effect of meteorological conditions on facial nerve function.MethodsA total of 171 cases of BP admitted to our Department over a five-year period were studied. The meteorological database included daily values of 13 distinct parameters recorded at the meteorological station of the University of Ioannina during this period. A relationship between each meteorological variable and the incidence of BP was investigated by applying (Χ2) test on data from 13 contingency tables. In addition, the influence of different weather types on the incidence of BP was also investigated. For this purpose Cluster Analysis was used to create eight clusters (weather types) for the Ioannina prefecture and (Χ2) test was applied on the contingency tables consisting of the days of BP cases for each cluster.ResultsNo significant correlation was found either between BP and each distinct meteorological parameter or between BP and any specific weather.ConclusionsMeteorological conditions, such as those dominating in the Northwestern Greece, and/or their changes have little effect on the incidence of BP. Multicenter studies taking into account atmospheric pollution, and climatic differences between countries, are necessary to scrutinize the environmental effects on facial nerve function.

Corey, David Dwyer; The Greek Sophists: Teachers of Virtue: (in English) This dissertation is a study of the Greek sophists as teachers of arete (virtue or human excellence) and a study of the conflict between sophistic and Socratic political values as portrayed in the dialogues of Plato. The first section offers a new definition of the term sophist based on ancient sources and attempts to present as clear a picture as is historically possible of the sophists activities. The second section examines and evaluates Platos criticisms of the sophists drawing attention especially to the dependence of certain criticisms upon a questionable set of epistemological assumptions about the role of knowledge in ethical action. And the final section describes in detail what the sophists understood arete to entail and how they went about teaching it. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (4.02)
Carver, Norman, Lesser, Victor; Planning for the Control of an Interpretation System: INTERPRETATION IS A COMPLEX AND UNCERTAIN PROCESS WHICH REQUIRED SOPHIS- TICATED EVIDENTIAL REASONING AND CONTROL SCHEMES. WE HAVE DEVELOPED A FRAMEWORK WHICH MODELS INTERPRETATION AS A PROCESS OF GATHERING EVIDENCE TO MANAGE UNCERTAINTY. THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THE APPROACH ARE A SPECIAL- IZED EVIDENTIAL REPRESENTATION SYSTEM AND A CONTROL PLANNER WITH HEURISTIC FOCUSING. THE EVIDENTIAL REPRESENTATION SCHEME INCLUDES EXPLICIT, SYMBOLIC ENCODINGS OF THE SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE EVIDENCE FOR THE HYPOTHESES. THE KNOWLEDGE IS USED BY THE CONTROL PLANNER TO IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP STRAT- EGIES FOR RESOLVING THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE INTERPRETATIONS. SINCE MULTIPLE, ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES MAY BE ABLE TO SATISFY GOALS, THE CONTROL PROCESS CAN BE SEEN TO INVOLVE A SEARCH. HEURISTIC FOCUSING IS APPLIED IN PARALLEL WITH THE PLANNING PROCESS IN ORDER TO SELECT THE STRATEGIES TO PURSUE AND CONTROL THE SEARCH. THE CONTROL PLAN FRAMEWORK ALLOWS THE USE OF A FLEX- IBLE FOCUSING SCHEME WHICH CAN SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN STRATEGIES DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE DEVELOPING PLANS AND CHANGES IN THE DOMAIN.
