Reading Through Galileo's Telescope: Margaret Cavendish And The Experience Of Reading, Elizabeth Spiller

Department of English: Faculty Publications

This essay reassesses the role of reading in the context of seventeenth-century natural philosophy by analyzing Galileo Galilei’s Starry Messenger and Margaret Cavendish's The Blazing World. The unreliability of telescopic vision becomes a dominant metaphor for the unreliability of reading printed texts. Where Galileo sought to put the reader in his own position as a scientific observer by making reading a form of observation, Cavendish used the telescopic image to show how readers become the makers of their own fictions. From the recognition that reading and observation finally reveal our relationship to the world rather than the world itself comes …

Ec00-899 Sorghum Basis Patterns From Selected Sites In Nebraska, Lynn Lutgen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

The following publication contains the sorghum basis patterns for several towns in Nebraska. Price information was collected through surveys, newspapers, electronic media, etc. The listing includes towns representative of different geographic locations in Nebraska. The amount of data varies among locations. This publication will be updated each year by adding a year's data to each location. This allows the user to observe the changing of basis patterns over time.

Ec00-898 Wheat Basis Patterns From Selected Sites In Nebraska, Lynn Lutgen

G1415 Recruiting Volunteers, Janet Fox

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide offers tips to volunteer coordinators that will help them recruit the best volunteers for any position.

Introduction

How does one go about recruiting volunteers to serve their organization? Knowing what motivates a person is the first step of understanding how to recruit a volunteer. According to Frederick Herzberg's Motivational Theory, there are five key motivators that should be kept in mind when providing volunteer opportunities. They are: achievement, recognition, challenging work, increased responsibility and development.

In addition, past participation in an organization motivates volunteers to give back to an organization from which they or family members have previously …

American Sign Language Video Dictionary And Inflection Guide, Poor Geoffrey

Presentations and other scholarship

This is the first and only product that links thousands of signs to sentences that show how they change. This is critical because unlike English words, ASL signs change - inflect - from sentence to sentence to show different meanings. The sign for help, for example, can change to mean help me, help them, help for a long time, etc. The experts at RIT's National Technical Institute for the Deaf have developed this innovative dictionary that not only shows you 2,700 signs, but shows most of them in sentences. You can see the inflections and learn how they work to …

Sharpness Rules, Garrett Johnson, Mark Fairchild

Presentations and other scholarship

A large-scale psychophysical experiment was performed examining the effects of various simultaneous variations of image parameters on perceived image sharpness. The goal of this experiment was to unlock some of the rules of image sharpness perception. A paired comparison paradigm was used to compare images of different resolution, contrast, noise, and sharpening. In total, 50 people performed over 140,000 observations. The results indicate that there are several very interesting tradeoffs between the various parameters of contrast, noise, resolution, and spatial sharpening. An interval scale of image sharpness was created. This scale was then used to test the results of several …

Linear Pixel Shuffling (I): New Paradigms For New Printers, Peter G. Anderson, Jonathan Arney, Kevin Ayer

Presentations and other scholarship

Linear Pixel Shuffling (LPS) is a novel order for image pixel processing which provides opportunities for construction of dot placement algorithms for high-resolution printers through micro-clumping and the formation of pseudo clustered dots. We present the details of LPS, how to program using it, several of its properties and applications, especially for electrophotographic (EP) imaging.

Error Diffusion Using Linear Pixel Shuffling, Peter G. Anderson

Presentations and other scholarship

Linear pixel shuffling error diffusion is a digital halftoning algorithm that combines the linear pixel shuffling (LPS) order of visiting pixels in an image with diffusion of quantization errors in all directions. LPS uses a simple linear rule to produce a pixel ordering giving a smooth, uniform probing of the image. This paper elucidates that algorithm. Like the Floyd-Steinberg algorithm, LPS error diffusion enhances edges and retains high-frequency image information. LPS error diffusion avoids some of the artifacts (“worm-s,” “tears,” and “checkerboarding”) often associated with the Floyd-Steinberg algorithm. LPS error diffusion requires the entire image be available in memory; the …

Quantifying Mixed Adaptation In Cross-Media Color Reproduction, Sharron Henley, Mark Fairchild

Presentations and other scholarship

This paper describes an investigation undertaken to address the goal set by the CIE Technical committee TC8- 04: "To investigate the state of adaptation of the visual system when comparing soft-copy images on self-luminous displays and hard copy images viewed under various ambient lighting conditions." A set of psychophysical experiments have been conducted for the determination of corresponding colors between printed stimuli under CIE Illuminant D50 simulators and CRT displayed stimuli with a D93 white point. The experiments were completed with 15 observers and 6 different viewing conditions. Analysis was completed to quantify any systematic effects of viewing configuration and …

Attempting To Ensure Fairness In The Glare Of The Media, Richard D. Friedman

Book Chapters

All legal systems worthy of credit have a commitment to achieving fairness between the parties to the litigation. In addition, common law legal systems have a longstanding commitment to openness in judicial proceedings. At the same time, and in part for the same reasons, they also have a longstanding commitment to freedom of expression. There is inevitably a tension among these three goals, because in cases of great public interest openness leads to publicity, and publicity may threaten or at least appear to threaten the fairness of a trial. In addition, sometimes publicity may create an intrusion on the lives …
