Table making in astronomy

Arthur L. Norberg · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2003

Throughout history, astronomers have studied the motions of the bodies of the solar system. In the second half of the 17th century, these studies took a monumental step forward with Isaac Newton's (1642–1727) formulation of the laws of motion and the principle of universal gravitation. The development of analytical mechanics in the 18th century opened the way for a complete treatment of all the gravitational effects produced within the solar system, as required to predict the motions of these bodies. Gravitational astronomers, who formulated equations of motion for the interactions of the planets, discovered that these equations could not be integrated in closed form, and developed approximation techniques for the successful integration of the equations. The history of predicting planetary positions using theories developed in celestial mechanics involved a search for a complete unified set of precepts for use in computing future planetary positions. This search was occasionally beset by related difficulties due to inadequacies in astronomers' planetary observations and understanding of planetary interactions. Therefore, it took almost 200 years after Newton to realize the goal. The drama has a cast of epic proportions and its denouement occurred at the beginning of the 20th century in Paris with a major assembly of astronomers at an international conference. This chapter examines some highlights in this history, namely, the search, the problem of seemingly unstablizing interactions, and the difficulties with observation, focusing on only a few of the principal actors and institutions. Primary emphasis in the chapter is on the first stage in the process of predicting future planetary positions, namely, preparation of precepts, rather than the following stage of computing predicted positions.

A table-making language

Gary D. Knott, Wendy Anderson, Jeffrey McKay · Proceedings of the IEEE · 1966

A problem-oriented language is discussed which is a useful tool for producing tabular reports. A program in the language is processed by the Tablemaker 2 system which is a compiler with compile-and-go options utilizing a top-down syntactic analyzer. The Tablemaker 2 language is concise and well-defined. One may describe data files with multiple-record structures, appropriately recode desired variables, control the production of sequences of files of n-dimensional arrays of weighted or unweighted counts, and perform arithmetic operations on each array and/or array sequence. Output processing to obtain printed results is specified in a particularly flexible and powerful manner within the Tablemaker 2 language. The user is allowed general data mapping within a defined overlay hierarchy to positions in variably formatted pages. Flexible format and label definition statements are provided, and external files including files of labels may be used. The use of the Tablemaker 2 language offers a simple and efficient approach to a type of problem normally handled by specialized time-consuming programming.

Making a New Table: Intersectional Librarianship

Fobazi Ettarh · SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología · 2014

In Brief: When librarians discuss the lack of underrepresented populations in librarianship, the solutions suggested most often are recruitment and awareness. But these discussions focus on one matrix of identity, like race or class, and ignore the fact that people embody multiple, layered identities. By treating these matrices of identity and marginalization as separate entities, […]

Making Table Understanding Work in Practice

Madelon Hulsebos, Sneha Gathani, James L. Gale et al. · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2021

Understanding the semantics of tables at scale is crucial for tasks like data integration, preparation, and search. Table understanding methods aim at detecting a table's topic, semantic column types, column relations, or entities. With the rise of deep learning, powerful models have been developed for these tasks with excellent accuracy on benchmarks. However, we observe that there exists a gap between the performance of these models on these benchmarks and their applicability in practice. In this paper, we address the question: what do we need for these models to work in practice? We discuss three challenges of deploying table understanding models and propose a framework to address them. These challenges include 1) difficulty in customizing models to specific domains, 2) lack of training data for typical database tables often found in enterprises, and 3) lack of confidence in the inferences made by models. We present SigmaTyper which implements this framework for the semantic column type detection task. SigmaTyper encapsulates a hybrid model trained on GitTables and integrates a lightweight human-in-the-loop approach to customize the model. Lastly, we highlight avenues for future research that further close the gap towards making table understanding effective in practice.

Making a Community Around a Table

Izumi Kuroishi · 2023

After the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE), many survivors had to relocate more than three times from shelters to temporary housing settlements, and finally to detached houses in inland hinterland areas or to mass concrete public housing. After ten years, many survivors still experienced difficulties in adapting to life in relocated places and new communities, and local municipalities faced the necessity to reframe welfare systems and compensate them without disaster recovery funds. The author observed that psychological issues of transformation of lifestyles caused by relocation impacted survivors’ sense of identity and belonging, but also found that many of them had the ability to reconstruct their confidence and community by themselves. Local cultural resources, such as food culture, were particularly effective, as, when we conducted lunch and tea parties (ocha-kai) at nine temporary housing settlements, and found that a tea party is a traditional way of making community bonds by sharing food. Those who joined and collaborated with others showed strong abilities and careful sensitivity to re-create a mutual help group, telling us they preferred helping others to being helped by volunteers. The ocha-kai they organized worked as effective semi-public gatherings to maintain effective connection with public welfare systems. This study examines these cases to clarify how ocha-kai works as the means of recovery after the experiences of the 2011 GEJE tsunami and displacement, and explains the contradictory relationship between mutual help and the conservative social hierarchy of the women’s status in the family and society, and the necessity of a resilient and innovative approach toward the reconstruction of the damaged society.

Conversations across the table: team decision-making

Marian Evans · DMU Open Research Archive (De Montfort University) · 2019

Aim: The aim of this study is to explore team strategic decision-making using cognitive mapping techniques in order to determine how entrepreneurial top teams process and interpret information for action.
\nPrior work: Team cognitions have been explored in many different ways. The use of cognitive mapping has mostly been used in two ways: the merging of individual maps as an aggregate cognitive map or as an emergent map, resulting from the interplay of individual team behaviours. Despite the fragmentation in the literature (Mol et al., 2010), prior work has shown the importance of shared cognition in teams for developing business performance and team effectiveness.
\nMethodology: We use an emergent approach based on a top team discussion from a board meeting agenda item on the potential impact of Brexit. Using cognitive mapping techniques, we constructed a cognitive map and analysed the structure and complexity of the emergent concepts. Complexity calculations, connectivity and cluster groups illustrated how the map emerged. This indicated the central concept or “nub” of the issue (Eden, 2004).
\nFindings: Our findings suggest this is a useful technique for exploring and developing team effectiveness and performance and how key members use their domain knowledge and expertise for assessing outcomes. The map structure also showed that the conversation lacked depth but covered many concepts. Map analysis indicated the key drivers of the conversation and use of transactive memory systems. 
\nContribution: This study addresses the need for an alternative to aggregate mapping methods and supports the notion of team cognition as an emergent phenomenon (Curşeu et al., 2010). It demonstrates that a cognitive map can be successfully used to elicit and evaluate team cognition and performance. 
\nImplications for policy and practice: Cognitive mapping is a way for practitioners to develop and improve cognitive performance and can be used to analyse team effectiveness for improved efficiency.

Bringing women to the decision-making table

OECD · OECD eBooks · 2017

This chapter provides an overview of trends in women’s participation in public life in Mexico – in Congress, the courts and the Federal Public Administration. While Mexico has made significant progress in increasing women’s representation in elected bodies over recent years – making it one of the top OECD countries for female political participation – their access to positions of power within both Houses of Congress remains uneven. There are still gender gaps in access to leadership in the judicial and executive branches of government, too, and in the Federal Public Administration. The chapter examines the mechanisms and policies in place to support women’s access to positions of power. It also explores the barriers to women’s participation in public life and in senior positions, such as political violence, a culture of long hours and limited work-life balance policies. It closes with a series of targeted recommendations.
