The name Artificial Intelligence appeared in the 1950s, but the mechanical modelling of human characteristics has a much longer history: mechanical brains, automata a definition of AI is rather difficult, since it means different things to different people. however: 1) AI is a specialty within computer science 2) AI aims to construct computer programs to model aspects of intelligent behaviour -mostly symbolic aspects sometimes physiological 3) AI involves many areas of study: game playing, theorem proving, cognitive modelling, natural language, machine vision, expert systems, robots, 4) AI uses digital computers: expensive ones: therefore story of how AI got funded is important 5) AI researchers developed list-processing languages : different from the numerically based high level languages of the 1950s: ALGOL, FORTRAN, etc 6) these languages are difficult: learnt through apprenticeship at certain locations like a craft skill During and just after the Second World War there emerged new interconnected areas of research: information theory, Operations Research, cybernetics and computer science

Extractions: Guest or foreign worker programs aim to add workers to the labor force without adding permanent residents to the population. Between 1942 and 1964, some 4.6 million Mexicans were admitted to the United States as Braceros or guest workers to fill jobs on U.S. farms. While more Mexicans some 5.3 million were apprehended in the United States during these years, legal Mexican immigration increased. Between 1942 and 1944, 13,000 Mexican immigrants were admitted; between 1962 and 1964, 146,000 were admitted. Guest worker programs tend to increase legal and illegal immigration for two major reasons: distortion and dependence. Distortion refers to the fact that economies and labor markets are flexible: They adjust to the presence or absence of foreign workers. If foreign workers are readily available, employers can plant apple and orange trees in remote areas and assume that migrant workers will be available when needed for harvesting. Dependence refers to the fact that individuals, families, and communities abroad need earnings from foreign jobs to sustain themselves, so that a policy decision to stop guest worker recruitment can increase legal and illegal immigration. This Backgrounder focuses on two examples of guest worker programs that resulted in increased legal and illegal immigration: the Mexico-U.S. Bracero program and Germanys recruitment of foreign workers in the 1960s and early 1970s. In both cases, employers "need" for guest workers lasted longer and proved to be larger than originally expected, leading to the aphorism: There is nothing more permanent than temporary foreign workers.

As a consequence, we have compiled the yearly enrolment figures which appear below in chart form. More detailed information (i.e. break-down by faculties) appears in the annual calendars which are available in the Archives. The numbers appearing in the "Total" category generally reflect enrolment for the Winter (September-April) session. For approximately the first decade of the University's existence the "Other" figure represents individuals enroled in short courses. Later the category includes individuals participating in Summer Session, Extra-Sessional Studies, Correspondence Courses, Intersession, Guided Independent Study, and Spring Session.

Extractions: NCI Completes Nationwide Study of Radioactive Fallout from 1950s Nuclear Tests The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has completed a study to assess Americans' exposures to radioactive iodine-131 fallout from atmospheric nuclear bomb tests carried out at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) in the 1950s. Depending on their age at the time of the tests, where they lived, and what foods they consumed, particularly milk, Americans were exposed to varying levels of I-131. Because of the radioactive decay of I-131, such exposures did not exceed two months following each test. Because I-131 accumulates in the thyroid gland, concerns have been raised that the fallout could cause thyroid cancer in people who were exposed to it as children. In 1982, Congress passed legislation calling for the Department of Health and Human Services to develop methods to estimate I-131 exposure, to assess I-131 exposure levels across the country from the Nevada tests, and to assess risks for thyroid cancer from these exposures.
Extractions: Finalist, Biography, Independent Publisher Book Awards Winner, Northeast Popular Culture Association's Annual Book Award A highly praised, controversial reevaluation of a major feminist leader "Horowitz's engaging, well-told story is a landmark contribution to our understanding of both Betty Friedan and the origins of the modern women's movement." Times Literary Supplement (London) "To his great credit, Daniel Horowitz, who has labored long in the archives, has produced a fascinating, even riveting, account of how the legacy of one generation of women of the American left ended up influencing and shaping a generation of New Left women. It is a vital story, and a story well told." Dissent "Horowitz carefully delineates the links between the Popular Front feminism of the Old Left and the New Left feminism of the 1960s, thereby casting doubt on the claims of novelty that many have made about social movements of the 1960s. In the process, he illuminates important details of Friedan's early life by mining everything from her papers while a student at Smith College to her articles for the labor press."

Extractions: To search for a name on this page, use Ctrl+F GRADUATES from the 1960s Dr. JERRY WILLIAMSON, BA'66, after nearly 30 years has retired as editor of "Appalachian Journal," a scholarly journal dedicated to the study of the Appalachian Region. Ten thousand pages later, the "Appalachian Journal" has become the premier publication in Appalachian studies. As Williamson ushered his 103rd and final issue to press, he has been recognized with the oldest and one of the highest honors in the field of Appalachian studies, a special W.D. Weatherford Award. Since 1970 The Appalachian Center and the Hutchins Library of Berea College have given only 10 of the special awards. "From its first appearance in the fall of 1972 until the coming of a new century and millennium, the "Appalachian Journal" has been at the forefront of the study of the Appalachian South," said Gordon McKinney, director of The Appalachian Center at Berea College. More than 300 scholarly articles, 250 poems and 500 book reviews and review essays, in addition to thousands of pages of printed material, cartoons and photographs passed through Williamson's editing before appearing in "Appalachian Journal." In addition to these staples, Williamson has included a significant number of interviews of cultural leaders in the region, record and video reviews, and special features. Williamson continued to publish outside of his work with the journal including two books, "Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films" and "Hillbillyland: What the Movies Did to the Mountains and What the Mountains Did to the Movies." In the course of his work as editor and scholar, however, Williamson continued to teach, and has come to be regarded as a master teacher.

Extractions: etc. And in March, the Electronics and Guided Missile Department officially became known as the Research and Development Laboratories. We were still in Culver City however... the move to Malibu would still be a decade away. In 1951 the era of co-directors came to an end and Dr. Dean Wooldridge became the sole Director of the Research and Development Laboratories. The Guided Missile Laboratory consisted of seven departments; Aerodynamics, Theory and Analysis, Computers and Controls, Design Integration, Electronics, Propulsion and Launching, and Flight Operations, and was concerned primarily with specific military applications. The rather diverse activities of the Radar Laboratory found common ground in the fields of microwaves, pulse circuits, computers, and cathode-ray type indicators. Typical end products resulting from the efforts of this laboratory were ground and air-borne radar systems, automatic electronic computers, equipment for air traffic control, high-speed indication devices, and special purpose antennas. Major advances in the development of electronic systems were frequently the result of invention and successful development of basic components, such as electron tubes. The Electron Tube Laboratory was established early in 1951 to insure continued leadership of HRL in the field of electronic systems through invention, research, and development of electron tubes.
