The purpose of this study has been to create a simplified yet reliable list of literary works pertinent to medieval art; one that will serve the greatest usefulness to the largest number of students.

The present study aimed to examine the degree to which giving TRC testimony is related to current psychiatric status and forgiveness attitudes among survivors of human rights abuses. A literature review examined the degree to which the TRC's claims are supported by the existing theoretical and empirical literature on trauma narratives and on forgiveness, and guided the way that psychological outcomes were assessed in the current study. Sunivors (n=134) who gave public, private or no testimony to the TRC completed standardised instruments measuring demographic variables, exposure to human rights abuses, current psychiatric status and forgiveness attitudes towards the perpetrator(s).

This research dissertation presents the findings of an investigation of the literature into the question of whether the use of student project teams helps create a more effeetive learning environment for the development of the sort of skills referred to above or are they, as Argyris suggests, helping reinforce model 1 'theories-in-use'such as ""skilled incompetence and defensive reasoning"", of both educators and learners alike?

This thesis, a Bibliography of Relativity, has begun with a very meager knowledge of the amount of literature which has been written on the subject of relativity either s explanation or commentary. The project was to 11at all the books and periodical articles written on or about the subject Relativity which are on file in the libraries of the College of the Pacific, University of California and stanford up to and including the year 1920.

A descriptive bibliography of the numerous editions together with their later issues of George Herbert's writings. The list includes separate sections of both relevant manuscripts and also ghost editions. Selections are not included in the bibliography, but the more significant ones are noted in the accompanying essay on the history of George Herbert publications. The essay traces the trends which influence both publishers and their readership over the years 1612-1993, and though the focus is on George Herbert materials, the discussion is applicable to any study of publishing history. It argues that the nineteenth-century revival of interest in Herbert at its most prominent in the Victorian period was primarily a result of a devotionalism which favoured traditional ways. Yet, it is hard to separate this devotionalism from the bourgeoning antiquarianism of the period. Similarly, those at the head of the revival of interest in Herbert were literary people: S. T. Coleridge, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Keble and the Tractarians, The Pre-Raphaelites, George Macdonald, and A. B. Grosart. As a result the revival represented a remarkably comprehensive interest in Herbert's works. By way of contrast, in the twentieth century the scholarly interest in Herbert appears to have detached itself from a devotional involvement, and as the century draws to a close this approach fostered eagerly by the universities brings with it the idea that Herbert's poetry is inaccessible without an expert's instruction. Thus, at a time when there is an extraordinary flowering of books about George Herbert, we are beginning to see the return of Herbert to obscurity, an obscurity in practice which exceeds that which he suffered in the eighteenth century. The essay also considers the variety of ornamentation employed in Herbert editions, particularly the treatments of the shape poems "The Altar" and "Easter Wings", but also the use of plates and illustrations within the text. The bibliography itself includes details of trade bindings, original prices, numbers printed, and printers' and publishers' full addresses wherever possible. There are a number of uses for this bibliography beyond its immediate purpose. Anyone interested in the history of a printing or publishing house should find helpful data, for instance. Bibliographers who are faced with undated issues or editions of a certain author may find a parallel item in this list which has an assigned date. It is hoped, too, that other bibliographers who are investigating Herbert publications will find this a source of data. The most important purpose of the bibliography, though, is to fill a present gap in Herbert studies, namely the need for a study of the publishing history of Herbert's writings. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The purpose of this thesis is to present a comprehensive colligation of applications of mobile agents in networks, and provide a baseline association of these systems. This work has been motivated by the fact that mobile agent systems have been deemed proficuous alternatives in system applications. Several mobile agent systems have been developed to provide scalable and cogent solutions in network-centric applications. This thesis examines some existing mobile agent systems in core networking areas, in particular, those of network and resource management, routing, and the provision of fault tolerance and security. The inherent features of these systems are discussed with respect to their specific functionalities. The applicability and efficacy of mobile agents are further considered in the specific areas mentioned above. Although an initial foray into a collation of this nature, the goal of this annotated bibliography is to provide a generic referential view of mobile agent systems in network applications.

This bibliometric study examined 19,385 citations in the bibliographies, book reviews, and reading lists of 70 volumes of Adult Education Quarterly, Adult Education, Adult Education Bulletin, Adult Education Journal, and Journal of Adult Education, and 13 volumes of the Handbook of Adult Education in the United States to identify books published before 1960 which have been frequently cited before and after 1960. Through citation analysis, an initial list of 434 titles was reduced to a core list of 64 books cited five times or more during the years between 1934 and 1988. For the purposes of this study, numbers of citations were taken to mean importance of works by indicating usefulness to subsequent authors. Of the 64 books, 55 had received at least one citation before 1960 and 57 had received at least one citation after 1960. While not all 64 of the core works constitute what might be called "classic works," it is suggested that classic works are likely to be found within the listed works.
