Linguistic Approaches in Teaching History of Science and Technology Courses through a Content Block on Cognitive Sciences

History of Science and Technology (HST) courses are increasingly becoming part of core curriculums for undergraduate students due to an increased emphasis on scientific literacy. HST courses should aim to help students gain an understanding of the nature of science and should enable them to reflect epistemologically. The authors suggest teaching HST courses through several interchangeable content blocks, and herein, present the material and discussion topics that they believe should be implemented in a content block on cognitive sciences through a linguistic component. Language has a special meaning for humankind as it indicates its unique ability in the evolutionary development and in creating a new social environment. Therefore, paying special attention to the linguistic component when teaching HST courses helps students obtain a basic level of linguistic knowledge as its interdisciplinary approaches are increased through the study of cognitive sciences such as evolutionary psychology, behavioral genetics, and artificial intelligence.In order to represent a practical meaning of linguistics in the processes of constructing social environment, the authors conducted an empirical study based on the analysis of media texts. We asked 63 sophomores majoring in social sciences and humanities, who are affiliated with the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia and the Moscow State Institute of International Relations to choose 60 media texts, both broadsheets and tabloids, on social and political content. Estimating and analyzing the surveys allowed the authors to determine students’ abilities to identify communicative strategies that were used in the media texts, to understand the role of the strategies in forming the social environment of a person or a group, and to recognize how using the tools of cognitive linguistics enhances sophisticated thinking and develops synergetic perceptions of every individual.

In praise of Edward Phillips

The aim of this paper is to rescue the reputation of the much-maligned seventeenth-century English lexicographer Edward Phillips. He has been accused of plagiarizing in his dictionary called New world of English words (1658) from an earlier dictionary, Thomas Blount’s Glossographia (1656), and he has been accused of claiming misleadingly that his dictionary was enriched by the contributions of consultants. Both accusations were originally made by Blount. Examining them both – which requires the use of techniques from the history of the book and the social history of science and technology – leads to the conclusion that neither accusation is true, and that Phillips actually made multiple original contributions to the development of the English lexicographical tradition, particularly in the use of consultants and the handling of technological vocabulary.

Smart Warriors: A Rationale for Educating Air Force Academy Cadets in the History of Science, Technology, and Warfare.

A crucial pedagogical issue facing instructors of History of Science and Technology (HST) at a military institution like the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) is enhancing the judgment of cadets through education so that they can make informed and intelligent decisions as officers. Fundamental understanding of relationships between HST and warfare provides much needed context for making decisions in the complex technical milieu cadets inhabit. A related goal is to instill in cadets a critical attitude towards technology. Getting cadets to examine the value of new weapons technology is sometimes difficult, however. Cadets identify closely with the Air Force and the technology of flight; a critical attitude towards this technology may seem unhealthy to them, or even a form of betrayal or institutional disloyalty. Cadets nevertheless need to gain an appreciation for the context of HST, especially the dialectical interaction of science and technology with military doctrine. This paper discusses the experience of helping cadets to meet such challenges in learning HST in the context of professional military training.

Virtual Laboratories For Analysis And Design Of CivilEngineering Structures

Throughout the history of science and technology two alternative approaches, namely experimental and analytical methods, have been used to produce new advances. Empirical based research has asked continuously for more and more sophisticated facilities and analytical work entered into computational approaches since the developing of digital computers. In this paper a technique linking both methodologies is presented, based on a combination of realistic visualization models, advanced structural analysis and high performance computers. Two examples, one corresponding to a bridge undergoing an earthquake and another one devoted to the visualization of a digital model of the Tacoma Narrows bridge and its aeroelastic response under wind loads are presented to make clear the capabilities of this methodology. 1. Alternative approaches in science and technology Knowledge adquisition in ancient times was based upon observation. But this was long time ago. Since then, modern science and technology require more sophisticated approaches to deal with current and futures challenges. Mainstream approaches in nowadays research may be classified into —Experimental techniques, —Computational methods. Both depend on observation. In experimental methods a lot of care need to be done in setting up proper facilities to carry out experiments using appropriate reduced models. On the other hand, the efficiency of computational methods relay on the accuracy of the model and the capabilities of the numerical techniques used in the analysis. None of these approaches are completely independents. Both require to a certain degree some external information in order to check out their credibility. But this classification is instructive because emphasizes whether the main effort is done in testing or in computer simulation. This overview is also valid when explaining the tools used currently for analysis and design of engineering structures. Bridges, dams, tall buildings, power plants and offshore platform have been tested, analyzed by computer programs or studied in both ways before being built. 2. Dynamic responses of civil engineering structures Appropriate understanding of the dynamic behaviour of structures is very important in civil engineering works. While small structures are mainly driven by service loads, more important realizations require taking in account loadings coming from earthquakes, wind or oceanwaves which are naturally dynamics. The main classes of dynamic responses to be evaluated are: —Frequencies and vibration modes, —Time history of displacements, —Time history of internal forces or stresses. 2.1. Conventional computer representation of dynamic responses Computer evaluation of dynamic responses of structures is provided by structural analysis of discretized FE or BE models. Figure 1 shows a structural model and two vibration modes of a building.

Current Bibliography in the History of Technology (1996-1997)

Current Bibliography in the History of Technology (1996–1997) The following compilation is the thirty-fifth annual bibliography of current publications in the history of technology. Previous bibliographies in this series have appeared in Technology and Culture since 1964. The reader is also referred to the fifth publication of the SHOT Monograph Series, Eugene S. Ferguson’s Bibliography of the History of Technology (Cambridge, Mass., 1968). This year’s compilation marks a few changes for the bibliography. First, it combines coverage for two years of publication in the history of technology, 1996 and 1997. The advantage of combining these years is in catching up to current publication and thus increasing the timeliness of future issues of the Current Bibliography. By combining these two years, we are also offering the largest Current Bibliography yet, with more than 3,300 entries. The disadvantage of squeezing two years of bibliography into one year of work is reduced coverage of the literature, though this will be only a one-time occurrence. Second, the change in publishers of Technology and Culture provided impetus for a review of the format of this bibliography, as well as a significant and long overdue upgrade in the software used to produce it. As a result, the bibliography has acquired a new look in some respects. The most visible change is in the use of numbered references, which simplifies the referencing scheme from the name and subject indexes. The bibliography itself continues to be organized by subject classifications; fortunately, the bibliography’s own Y2K problem remains a few years off, when it will be time to reorganize the chronological divisions to reflect the advent of a new century. Last, the team of contributors to the bibliography has changed, as well. After many years of service, Stephen Cutcliffe is stepping back from his role as contributor. As regular users of the Current Bibliography remember, Stephen served as editor of the bibliography before me, and he has been a great help throughout my years as editor. His annual stack of contributions will be missed, though I will not be surprised if he cannot resist submitting the occasional reference. The bibliography has been available to scholars in electronic form since March 1992 on the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN) as part of the HST (History of Science and Technology) file. It provides on-line access to [End Page 1] Current Bibliography in the History of Technology for the years 1987 through 1997, and it is possible to query it from your personal computer using a variety of indexes, assuming that you have a modem or access to the Internet.

The Current Bibliography of the History of Science and the Bibliografia Italiana di Storia della Scienza are also available in the HST file, and it is planned that more bibliographic files in the history of science, technology and medicine will be added to the file. Users of the HST file can obtain from me a copy of the working thesaurus for the Current Bibliography in the History of Technology, which should prove useful in working with this database. I would like to thank the other contributors to the bibliography: Guillaume de Syon, Katalin Harkányi, Patrick Harshbarger, and Ian Winship. Readers willing to scan a selected set of journals or keep track of publications in one of the subfields of the history of technology should contact me, as additional contributors are welcome and needed. I hope that a few members of the Society for the History of Technology will step forward to increase the number of contributors. Improved coverage of Eastern European, Asian, and Latin American publications remains a desideratum, and help in these areas from correspondents would be welcome.

Current Bibliography in the History of Technology (1991)

Current Bibliography in the History of Technology (1991) The following compilation is the thirtieth annual bibliography of current publications in the history of technology. Previous bibliogra­ phies in this series have appeared in Technology and Culture since 1964. The reader is also referred to the fifth publication of the SHOT Monograph Series, Eugene S. Ferguson’s Bibliography of the History of Technology (Cambridge, Mass.: SHOT and MIT Press, 1968). After last year’s changes in the format and coverage of the bibliography, relatively little is different this year. The bibliography has grown slightly and now comprises more than 2,500 citations yet appears to fit its new format as a separate issue of Technology and Culture comfortably. We have expanded coverage of publications in languages other than English somewhat and provided geographical subject terms for the majority of entries, but on the whole little has changed. One change that has not occurred is the addition of brief citations of conference papers, because few conference organizers submitted the information I needed to produce this section. The bibliography has been available to scholars in electronic form since March of 1992 on the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN) as part of the HST (History of Science and Technology) file. It is possible to search several years of the data base (currently 1987—1991) simultaneously and to query it using a variety of indexes from your personal computer, assuming that you have a modem or access to Internet.
