Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LE SUJET DE CETTE THESE S'INSCRIT DANS LE CONTEXTE DES LANGAGES DE BASES DE DONNEES LOGIQUES ET ORIENTEES OBJET: NOUS DEFINISSONS LE LANGAGE R & O (REGLES ET OBJETS), LANGAGE DE REGLES, TYPE, DONT LA SYNTAXE ET LA SEMANTIQUE INTEGRENT LES CONCEPTS FONDAMENTAUX DE L'APPROCHE OBJET. NOTRE PREMIER OBJECTIF EST DE PROPOSER UN LANGAGE DE REQUETES PUREMENT DECLARATIF QUI VERIFIE LES PROPRIETES DE FERMETURE ET D'ADEQUATION AU MODELE DE DONNEES. DE PLUS, CONVAINCUS DE LA NECESSITE D'INTEGRER DIFFERENTS STYLES DE PROGRAMMATION, NOUS RECHERCHONS LA COMPATIBILITE DE R & O AVEC UN LANGAGE DE PROGRAMMATION A OBJETS. LE CHOIX DU LANGAGE A OBJETS S'EST PORTE SUR EIFFEL POUR SES QUALITES DE REUTILISABILITE ET DE FIABILITE. L'ETAT DE L'ART DEBUTE PAR UNE PRESENTATION DES LIENS ENTRE LA LOGIQUE DU PREMIER ORDRE ET LE CONCEPT DE BASE DE DONNEES, ET UNE DESCRIPTION DU LANGAGE DATALOG QUI CARACTERISE LES BASES DE DONNEES DEDUCTIVES RELATIONNELLES. LA COMPLEXITE DES DONNEES DANS LES NOUVEAUX DOMAINES D'APPLICATION A MIS EN EVIDENCE LES LIMITES DU MODELE RELATIONNEL ET A CONDUIT A DEFINIR DES LANGAGES LOGIQUES ADAPTES AUX DONNEES COMPLEXES COMME COL, LDL, IQL, F-LOGIC OU LILA. CES LANGAGES SONT CLASSIFIES SELON DEUX APPROCHES: L'APPROCHE VALEUR ET L'APPROCHE OBJET. LE MODELE DE DONNEES SOUS-JACENT AU LANGAGE R & O PREND EN COMPTE LES CONCEPTS D'OBJET, IDENTIFICATEUR, CLASSE, TYPE, ATTRIBUT METHODE, HERITAGE AINSI QUE CELUI DE COLLECTION QUI JOUE UN ROLE ESSENTIEL POUR SATISFAIRE LA FERMETURE. LA SYNTAXE DU LANGAGE EST BASEE SUR TROIS TYPES DE REGLES LOGIQUES. ELLE EST DEFINIE DE MANIERE INCREMENTALE: NOUS L'ETENDONS PROGRESSIVEMENT POUR ARRIVER A DES REGLES INCLUANT DES LITTERAUX NEGATIFS, DES TERMES ENSEMBLISTES, DES LITTERAUX EVALUABLES, ET DES METHODES FONCTIONNELLES. NOUS MONTRONS QUE R & O PEUT ETRE ASSOCIE AU LANGAGE A OBJETS EIFFEL SANS GRAND PROBLEME DE COMPATIBILITE. L'INTEGRATION EST FACILITEE PAR L'UTILISATION D'UNE VERSION PERSISTANTE DU LANGAGE. ENSUITE, NOUS DEFINISSONS UNE SEMANTIQUE DU MODELE MINIMAL POUR LES PROGRAMMES R & O CONSTITUES DE REGLES PURES ET SANS LITTERAUX NEGATIFS. LA SEMANTIQUE EST ENSUITE ETENDUE AUX REGLES INCLUANT LA NEGATION: NOUS MONTRONS QUE NOUS POUVONS APPLIQUER A CES REGLES, LA SEMANTIQUE DU MODELE STABLE. LA SEMANTIQUE DES REGLES AVEC LITTERAUX EVALUABLES, ET AVEC METHODES FONCTIONNELLES EST AUSSI ETUDIEE. LE PROBLEME DE L'EVALUATION DES REGLES PURES ET SANS LITTERAUX NEGATIFS EST TRAITE EN ADAPTANT UNE METHODE ORIGINALE PROPOSEE POUR DATALOG ET REPOSANT UNIQUEMENT SUR LA RESOLUTION D'INEQUATIONS NUMERIQUES POUR LE CALCUL D'UN MODELE MINIMAL D'UN PROGRAMME LOGIQUE

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's description: After the glamour of working in the field is over, you now face the daunting challenge of transforming your field notes and interview tapes into a completed study. But where do you start? In Transforming Qualitative Data, Harry F. Wolcott guides you through the process of completing your research study. Beginning with an introductory chapter that presents his views on ethnography, he explores the transformation process by breaking it down into three related activities: description, analysis, and interpretation. To illustrate each point, he critically examines his own work, using nine of his previous studies as illustrations. Then he shows you how to learn--and to teach--qualitative research by applying the three principles outlined in the volume. Written with the usual wit and brilliance shown in Wolcott's work, Transforming Qualitative Data is a major statement on doing research by one of the master ethnographers of our time.

Download or read book The New Rhetoric written by Chaïm Perelman and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 1991-09-30 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Rhetoric is founded on the idea that since “argumentation aims at securing the adherence of those to whom it is addressed, it is, in its entirety, relative to the audience to be influenced,” says Chaïm Perelman and L. Olbrechts-Tyteca, and they rely, in particular, for their theory of argumentation on the twin concepts of universal and particular audiences: while every argument is directed to a specific individual or group, the orator decides what information and what approaches will achieve the greatest adherence according to an ideal audience. This ideal, Perelman explains, can be embodied, for example, "in God, in all reasonable and competent men, in the man deliberating or in an elite.” Like particular audiences, then, the universal audience is never fixed or absolute but depends on the orator, the content and goals of the argument, and the particular audience to whom the argument is addressed. These considerations determine what information constitutes "facts" and "reasonableness" and thus help to determine the universal audience that, in turn, shapes the orator's approach. The adherence of an audience is also determined by the orator's use of values, a further key concept of the New Rhetoric. Perelman's treatment of value and his view of epideictic rhetoric sets his approach apart from that of the ancients and of Aristotle in particular. Aristotle's division of rhetoric into three genres–forensic, deliberative, and epideictic–is largely motivated by the judgments required for each: forensic or legal arguments require verdicts on past action, deliberative or political rhetoric seeks judgment on future action, and epideictic or ceremonial rhetoric concerns values associated with praise or blame and seeks no specific decisions. For Aristotle, the epideictic genre was of limited importance in the civic realm since it did not concern facts or policies. Perelman, in contrast, believes not only that epideictic rhetoric warrants more attention, but that the values normally limited to that genre are in fact central to all argumentation. "Epideictic oratory," Perelman argues, "has significant and important argumentation for strengthening the disposition toward action by increasing adherence to the values it lauds.” These values are central to the persuasiveness of arguments in all rhetorical genres since the orator always attempts to "establish a sense of communion centered around particular values recognized by the audience.”

Book excerpt: Return to the land of dragons and magic you discovered in Dragonspell and DragonQuest, in this finely crafted and memorable work of fantasy fiction with a core of eternal truth. Trapped in an evil spell… can the knights of Paladin be rescued? Before vowing his allegiance to Wulder as a knight, Bardon heads to the mountains for solitude. His life is suddenly complicated by a woman and her granddaughter, N’Rae, who are on a mission to rescue the woman’s son trapped in a chamber of sleep. When Bardon learns that more of Paladin’s knights are imprisoned within the chamber, he suspects one of them is Dragon Keeper Kale’ s missing father. The band travels north, uncertain of their destination and encountering numerous perils. When they unlock the chamber, they discover a dozen knights. But the knights cannot be awakened, and the journal holding the secret to rousing them is in an unknown language. How can they find the help they need, and overcome even graver obstacles, to rescue the knights?
