1 Tuttle, Howard N.Some questions in R. G. Collingwood's theory of historical understandingIn this essay I would like to examine some problems that are suggested to me by R. G. Collingwood's Philosophy; of historical understanding. My method of examination will be as follows: (1) to show that Collingwood's struggle to maintain his thesis that "history is the re-thinking of past thoughts"...History; Philosophy;; Collingwood, R. G. (Robin George), 1889-19431977

3 Battin, Margaret P.On being blue, a philosophical inquiry by William GassOn Being Blue is a remarkable piece of rumination: it toes, wades, pulls its skirt up and immerses itself in the word 'blue.' Blue noses, blue laws, blue devils, blueblood; Gass begins by producing wonder, and we say: / didn't know the word 'blue' could be used in so many different ways. Bluebird, b...1977
4 Keller, Robert M.Semantics of parallel program graphsA denotational model for networks of parallel processes is presented which generalizes the work of Kahn by using alternative data types, e.g. Lisp-like operators on trees. It is shown that the ordering aspect of data types plays a central role in determining how much parallelism can be present. It i...Parallel program graphs; Computer semantics; Denotational model1977
5 Lindstrom, Gary E.Efficiency in nondeterministic control through non-forgetful backtrackingNondeterministic (ND) control has long been used to express elegant solutions to complex search problems. Programs using ND control can be executed on conventional machines through a systematic examination of trial execution paths. Among the many approaches to the enumeration of these paths is backt...Nondeterministic control; Non-forgetful backtracking; Search problems1977
6 Boll, Steven F.Noise suppression methods for robust speech processing (1 Oct. 1976 - 31 March 1977)To develop robust speech processes, based upon the integration of digital noise suppression methods and narrow band speech analysis-synthesis methods, capable of realizing practical, real time methods for effectively processing speech recorded in practical operating environments.Digital noise suppression1977
7 Davis, A.L.The architecture of DDMl: a recursively structured data driven machineAn architecture for a highly modular, recursively structured class of machines is presented. DDMl is an instance of such a machine structure, and is capable of executing machine language programs which are data driven (data flow) nets. These nets may represent arbitrary amounts of concurrency as wel...DDMl; machine structure; machine language programs1977

9 Firmage, Edwin B.War powers and the political question doctrineA fundamental and potentially healthy tension exists between democratic government, under which the majority ordinarily prevails, and judicial review, by which the judiciary may check unconstitutional actions of the political branches. A balance must be struck between the two concepts, or one could ...Democratic; Federalism; Judicial1977
10 Hartmann, Donald P.Considerations in the choice of interobserver reliability estimatesTwo types of interobserver reliability values may be needed in treatment studies in which observers constitute the primary data-acquisition system: trial reilability and the reliability of the composite unit or score which is subsequently analyzed, e.g., daily or weekly session totals. Two approache...Observational technology; Reliability; Validity; Statistics; Recording and measurement techniques; Cohen's kappa; Generalizability theory; Measurement theory; Spearman-Brown prophesy formula; Correlational measures1977
11 Davidson, Diane W.Foraging ecology and community organization in desert seed-eating antsGranivorous ants in the southwestern deserts of the United States are characterized by species-specific colony foraging behaviors that determine their efficiencies at utilizing seeds from different density distributions. Workers search for food either in groups or as individuals, and these feedin...Ants; Arizona; California; Coexistence; Communities; Density specialization; Desert granivores; Foraging strategies; Insects; New Mexico; Resource partitioning1977
12 Smith, John MilesIntegrated specifications for abstract systemsStructural specifications define an abstract object as a composition of other abstract objects. Behavioral specifications define an abstract object in terms of its associated operations. Integrated specifications are a combination of structural and behavioral specifications which are more powerful t...1977
