TRI Conference Template

Template for paper submission to the Prato conference

This MS Word.doc file has been formatted using the style-sheet required for your abstract and paper. Save this file to another name, delete the content and start writing your abstract and paper. If you have difficulty using the styles in this template, just follow the formatting instructions below (and the format in the following ‘sample paper’).

If you are using Microsoft Word, if click used Format>Styles and Formatting, you will see a menu of styles that correspond to the text and you can use this as a guide.

Important notes for all authors

The Title should be brief but specific to the subject of your paper.

Abstracts are required for all papers, and must not exceed 250 words. The abstract should be a précis of the context, aim, approach and findings; ie. an accurate summary of the information to be presented in the paper or poster.

Authors’ names and addresses should be shown below the Abstract title, as specified under Author’s names and Author’s addresses below.

File name

Name your completed Word document according to the submission number you have been assigned on the conferencetool.net/prato2013. You will be able to see this on the site with your abstract/s. Use all lowercase. For example, 115.doc.

Paragraph Text

Use Times New Roman for all text including headings. Left align all text, images and tables. The Normal Style automatically indents the first line. Normal text should be 11 point with single line spacing.

There is no space between paragraphs. Hyperlinks to external web references should be placed in the References section, rather than in the body of the paper.

Use List Bullet or List Number styles where appropriate for dot point or numbered lists.

Headings and sections

Paper title: (style-title) – Arial 14 point, bold, sentence case (capitals for proper nouns only). If the title extends to a second line, do not use “enter” to break the line. Leave one blank line below the title.

Heading 1: Times New Roman 14, Bold, Centred, 12pt space above, 12 pts blank below (it is set up to do this automatically if you use the Styles and Formatting Box)

Heading 2: Times New Roman 12, Bold, Centred, 12pt space above, 6pt line space below (it is set up to do this automatically if you use the Styles and Formatting Box)

Heading 3: Times New Rooman 10, Centred, 12pt space above, 6pt space below ((it is set up to do this automatically if you use the Styles and Formatting Box)

Authors' names: (style-author) - 11 point. First name should come before the family name for each author. Leave one blank line below the authors’ names. Do not include email addresses: just include a short institutional affiliation

Authors' address: (style-address) - 9 point, not italics.Leave two blank lines after the authors’ addresses.

Abstract body: (style-abstract) - 10 point, not bold indented (See example and Styles>Formatting. Leave one blank line below the abstract text

Keywords: (style-keywords) 11 point, not bold. Key words not used in the Title or Abstract. Leave one blank line below the key words.

Quotations: Indented left and right 5cm and italics (see the style in the example) and in the Style Sheet.

References: A simplified form of the Harvard system (also known as the author-date scheme) with minimal punctuation is suggested.

Figures and images

Figures and images should be placed in the body of the text, centred and not wrapped in the text.

Figures copied from graphic applications (eg Microsoft Excel or SigmaPlot chart) should be copied into the Word document using Edit>Paste Special>Picture.

Images in either colour or black and white are acceptable. Images files can be inserted using Insert>Picture>From File. Suitable formats include JPG, GIF, BMP and TIFF. Images should be cropped and reduced where possible using Photoshop or an image editor to produce a file size before inserting into Word of around 300kb or less.

Outline boxes (such as frames) should be avoided. Do not allow images to "float" over text. Use Format>Picture>Layout>In line with text.

A table with borders removed can be used to arrange two or more images or figures side by side.

If the drawing tool is used to create a diagram, group the objects using the Select Objects arrow on the Drawing toolbar and then choose right-click>Grouping>Group. Right-click over the toolbars area to access the drawing toolbar.

Captions for Figures and images (style-Caption) should be 11 point, bold and centred, placed below the image. Please use the full terminology, e.g., Image 1: My dog.

Tables

Use tables rather than tabs or spaces to align images and text. Use simple formatting for ease of reproduction.

Use the Insert Table button on the Standard toolbar and left align tables. Keep formatting simple.

Captions should be placed above the table using the Caption style.

Data columns should generally be centred or left aligned.

Use a separate cell for each number and use Shift+Enter rather than Enter to break lines in cells.


Why the Differential Machine is not a device

Charles Dickens 1 and Ada Lovelace2

Abstract: Those labours which belong to the various branches of the mathematical sciences, although on first consideration they seem to be the exclusive province of intellect, may, nevertheless, be divided into two distinct sections; one of which may be called the mechanical, because it is subjected to precise and invariable laws, that are capable of being expressed by means of the operations of matter; while the other, demanding the intervention of reasoning, belongs more specially to the domain of the understanding. This admitted, we may propose to execute, by means of machinery, the mechanical branch of these labours, reserving for pure intellect that which depends on the reasoning faculties.

Division of Labour and Mechanical Workshop.Tool and Machinery

Those labours which belong to the various branches of the mathematical sciences, although on first consideration they seem to be the exclusive province of intellect, may, nevertheless, be divided into two distinct sections; one of which may be called the mechanical, because it is subjected to precise and invariable laws, that are capable of being expressed by means of the operations of matter; while the other, demanding the intervention of reasoning, belongs more specially to the domain of the understanding. This admitted, we may propose to execute, by means of machinery, the mechanical branch of these labours, reserving for pure intellect that which depends on the reasoning faculties (Adams 2004). Thus the rigid exactness of those laws which regulate numerical calculations must frequently have suggested the employment of material instruments, either for executing the whole of such calculations or for abridging them; and thence have arisen several inventions having this object in view, but which have in general but partially attained it (Granovetter 1973).

Figure 1: The differential engine

For instance, the much-admired machine of Pascal is now simply an object of curiosity, which, whilst it displays the powerful intellect of its inventor, is yet of little utility in itself. Its powers extended no further than the execution of the first four operations of arithmetic, and indeed were in reality confined to that of the first two, since multiplication and division were the result of a series of additions and subtractions (Gregory 1986). The chief drawback hitherto on most of such machines is, that they require the continual intervention of a human agent to regulate their movements, and thence arises a source of errors; so that, if their use has not become general for large numerical calculations, it is because they have not in fact resolved the double problem which the question presents, that of correctness in the results, united with economy of time (Alinsky 1969).

The standard Lorem Ipsum passage, used since the 1500s

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat (Althusser and Brewster 1969). Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

·  Sed ut perspiciatis

·  unde omnis iste natus

·  error sit voluptatem.

Who is Lorem Ipsum?

Loren Ipsum is the standard boiler plate text used in typesetting. It's based on the assumption that most people can't read Latin these days (probably a very valid assumption). It allows for the layout be judged without being distracted by the content. The original text was extracted from a text from Cicero written 45BC. As the Latin says:

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?

Thank goodness I have come to the end of the paper. But for homework, please translate and construe this text.
