The Syntax of Adverbs: An LFG Approach - Cobb, Caroline Bulkley
This article proposes an LFG treatment of predicational adverbs in English. We argue that each adverb contains in its lexical entry a typological designation, or disjunction of multiple typological designations, which interact with lexical entries to produce c- and f-structures. ADVPs are adjoined to either I' or VP, depending on this typological designation, and provide all necessary readings from these two adjunction sites. Functional precedence is used to resolve ordering restrictions in cases of multiple adverb occurrence within a sentence.

Fragments of Piscataway:
A Preliminary Description - Mackie, Lisa
Project Goals
The goal of the present project is to provide a preliminary descriptive analysis of
the language found in a short manuscript in the Special Collections of the Georgetown
University Library. The manuscript is a five-page Catholic catechism written in an
Eastern Algonquian language. It is the only extant record of the language which is
presumed to be Piscataway (also called Conoy). The identification of the language is
based on the attribution of authorship to Father Andrew White, a seventeenth-century
English Jesuit missionary. By providing as much of a description as possible through
morphological and phonological analysis of the data, I hope to recover some knowledge
about this...

Knowledge Management in an academic library - White, Tatiana
The author of this article endeavours to examine a complex Knowledge Management (KM) concept through a practical approach in the knowledge environment.
This paper attempts to distinguish information from knowledge and define Knowledge Management. The article focuses on the KM elements in the academic environment with particular reference to the Oxford University Library Services. OULS) and outlines the need to include KM in library strategy in order to retain Know-How for the benefits of its staff and users.
Tools and techniques for KM implementation are discussed and risks and benefits analysis is offered.

Consistent nonlinear dynamics: identifying
model inadequacy - McSharry, Patrick; Smith, Leonard A
Empirical modelling often aims for the simplest model consistent with the data. A
new technique is presented which quantifies the consistency of the model dynamics
as a function of location in state space. As is well-known, traditional statistics of
nonlinear models like root-mean-square (RMS) forecast error can prove misleading.
Testing consistency is shown to overcome some of the deficiencies of RMS error,
both within the perfect model scenario and when applied to data from several physical
systems using previously published models. In particular, testing for consistent
nonlinear dynamics provides insight towards (i) identifying when a delay reconstruction
fails to be an embedding, (ii) allowing state dependent model selection
and...

Towards a Research Repository for Oxford University - Fraser, Michael A.
In 2005 the Digital Archiving Group, a working group of Oxford University's Information and Communication Technologies Committee (ICTC), suggested that a pilot project for the digital archiving of scholarly papers be developed. To support this suggestion, and to investigate the wider issues relating to eprints and institutional repositories, a workshop was organised on 10 June 2005. The purpose of the workshop was to investigate the opportunities and challenges of developing an open access institutional repository for research. The workshop was organised under the aegis of the Digital Archiving Group and in association with the Oxford Internet Institute, the Research Technologies...

An Investigation into Free Ebooks - Berglund, Ylva; Morrison, Alan; Wilson, Rowan; Wynne, Martin
Hundreds of thousands of electronic texts are freely available on the internet, and many of them are texts which are used in colleges and universities in the UK. A report was commissioned by the JISC E-books Working Group to investigate the following questions:
* What sorts of free e-books are available which are relevant to FE and HE in the UK?
* Are they of sufficient quality for use in teaching and learning?
* What is required to deploy them in the curriculum?
* Can we save money by using free e-books instead of buying print books or commercial e-books?...
