It is important to have students take notes so as to increase their concentration. We examined how students take notes by providing paper notebooks and PC notebooks, each of which are provided with a fill-in-blanks section and a free writing section. The results show that, 93.9% of the fill-in-blanks areas of paper and PC notebooks were written, while only 14.0% of the free writing areas were. ...

These are expanded notes of a series of two lectures given at the meeting on axiomatic set theory at Kyōto University in November 2000. The lectures were intended to survey the state of the art of the theory of cardinal invariants of the continuum, and focused on the interplay between iterated forcing theory and cardinal invariants, as well as on important open problems. To round off the presen...

Trainees in the mental health professions, and their teachers, might well use paranoia as a motivating force to make psychiatric records effective for forensic purposes, utilization review, and sound treatment planning. The utilization reviewer maintains a highly quantitative view, as if all forms of treatment were like poultices of a predetermined size and predetermined rate of application. Th...

A health record database contains structured data fields that identify the patient, such as patient ID, patient name, e-mail and phone number. These data are fairly easy to de-identify, that is, replace with other identifiers. However, these data also occur in fields with doctors' free-text notes written in an abbreviated style that cannot be analyzed grammatically. If we replace a word that lo...

Course Description: This is a course based upon disability education and employment rights. Students acquire skills to understand rights and obligations relating to accommodations as provided under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Students with disabilities develop self-advocacy skills related to their accommodation needs an...

A typechecker for a typed -calculus having implicit arguments is presented. The typechecker works in such a way that the uniqueness of implicit arguments is always preserved during reduction. Consequently, when it compares two terms by reduction, it can reduce them without inferring implicit arguments. Before describing the typechecker, we analyze various situations where the uniqueness of impl...

Current Day Annotation These notes were written in 1995. Since 1961 the best lower bound on R(3, k) had been ck2 ln−2 k. Building on a paper of Erdős, Winkler and Suen I was able to show that c could be made arbitrarily large. Why didn’t I publish? Only a few weeks later Jeong-Han Kim found that R(3, k) = Ω(k2 ln−1 k), matching the upper bound of Ajtai, Komlós and Szemerédi, so thatR(3, k) = Θ(...

This paper describes a longitudinal field experiment in personal note taking that examines how people capture and use information in short textual notes. Study participants used our tool, a simple browser-based textual note taking utility resembling many lightweight tools available today, to capture personal information over the course of ten days. We examine the information they kept in the to...

This is a selfcontained set of lecture notes on instantons in (super) Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions and in quantum mechanics. First the basics are derived from scratch: the regular and singular one-instanton solutions for Yang-Mills theories with gauge groups SU(2) and SU(N), their bosonic and fermionic zero modes, the path integral instanton measure, and supersymmetric Yang-Mills theori...
