Abstract:
The play Batavia re-tells the story of a Dutch East India Company ship, wrecked off the West Australian coast in 1628. In writing Batavia, I consider issues of ethics and pragmatics in deciding how best to use or adapt historical sources--choices often between historical accuracy and effectiveness on stage. The playscript illustrates choices made. The exegesis examines the literature surrounding these considerations, and looks at other writers' comments and approaches to the problem. It suggests a pragmatics of playwrighting is well grounded in philosophy and is a more fruitful approach than t

Abstract:
Classical expert systems have been criticised for ignoring the problem-solving ability of the user. The ramifications of this are more than just a reduced problem-solving capability. By excluding the knowledge of the user, the knowledge-base of the system is incomplete as it is infeasible to capture all the relevant factors. Furthermore, users become alienated as they do not have the opportunity to "adapt the situation according to their skills. In many cases the conclusions of the expert system are rejected, or the user's responsibility is abrogated, because the user cannot influence the deci

Kurniawan, Christian. "Property Localization for Grain Boundary Diffusivity via Inverse Problem Theory." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2018. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/7716.

Full text
Abstract:
The structure and spatial arrangement of grain boundaries strongly affect the properties of polycrystalline materials such as corrosion, creep, weldability, superconductivity, and diffusivity. However, constructing predictive grain boundary structure-property models is taxing, both experimentally and computationally due to the high dimensionality of the grain boundary character space. The purpose of this work is to develop an effective method to infer grain boundary structure-property models from measurement of the effective properties of polycrystals by utilizing the inverse problem theory.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis I study the problem of logical constants with respect to logical truth and logical consequence. In order to do that, I focused on the following two questions. First, what is a logical constant and what kind of relation there is between a logical truth, logical consequence and logical constant? Second, what are the solutions to the problem and to what extent these criteria can solve it? The main argument of my thesis is to determine that all of the examined systems are satisfactory to considerable level still none of these is completely acceptable.

Abstract:
La mobilité de l’hydrogène dans les métaux est un paramètre clef pour la compréhension des mécanismes de base de la fragilisation par l’hydrogène (FPH). Cette problématique est directement associée aux mécanismes de diffusion et de piégeage de l’hydrogène au sein d’un réseau cristallin. Ces derniers dépendent des diverses hétérogénéités microstructurales et en particulier des défauts cristallins présents au sein du matériau. Dans le cadre de nos travaux nous nous sommes restreints à étudier la diffusion et le piégeage de l’hydrogène au sein de deux systèmes élémentaires : des monocristaux et d

Full text
Abstract:
An alfalfa decline problem has appeared recently in fields between Poston and Parker in La Paz County. Cercospora summer black stem and leaf spot, a fungal disease of alfalfa, has been associated with the decline problem. The efficacy of three fungicides were tested for control of the disease and the decline problem. Bravo, Kocide, and Spotless significantly reduced the severity of Cercospora summer black stem and leaf spot; however, significant increases in yield were not realized. Alfalfa decline in La Paz County may involve other factors in addition to plant disease.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographies.<br>The main objective of this dissertation is the formulation of a framework within which counterideological discourse analysis and poststructural multiple interpretations can be systematically and reflexively applied to texts. The interest in developing a poststructural interpretive framework is based on prior work done on this subject by J.B. Thompson (1984 ;1990). Thompson's work focuses on the development of a comprehensive and integrated analytical framework for the analysis of ideology, critically defined in terms of the mobilization of meaning to sustain relatio

Abstract:
У романима Књига о Бламу и Употреба човека Александра Тишме доминантне теме јесу рат и судбина човека у рату, а посебно јеврејског човека. Говорити о романима Александра Тишме значи најпре говорити о трагању за идентитетом, о неприпадању и усамљености у свету који се доживљава као непрекидно страдање, као опасност, страховање, као трагање за безбедним местом за живот, да би се напослетку схватило да такво место не постоји, да су свуда само јед и патња. Ликови ових романа живе у тешким ратним околностима, али они носе још теже бреме јеврејске судбине, или у својим коренима једнако проблематичну

Abstract:
Estimating parameters is the problem of finding their values from measurements and modelling. Parameters describe properties of a system; material, for instance, are defined by mechanical, electrical, and chemical parameters. Fisher information is an information measure, giving information about how changes in the parameter effect the estimation. The Fisher information includes the physical model of the problem and the statistical model of noise. The Cramér-Rao bound is the inverse of the Fisher information and gives the best possible variance for any unbiased estimator. This thesis considers

This research was the opportunity for the personal encounter with the mathematical discipline and gave also the possibility and ispiration to question the meaning of the mathematical thinking and the reliability of its cognitive procedures.

Abstract:
Reinforcement learning problems are often phrased in terms of Markov decision processes (MDPs). In this thesis we go beyond MDPs and consider reinforcement learning in environments that are non-Markovian, non-ergodic and only partially observable. Our focus is not on practical algorithms, but rather on the fundamental underlying problems: How do we balance exploration and exploitation? How do we explore optimally? When is an agent optimal? We follow the nonparametric realizable paradigm: we assume the data is drawn from an unknown source that belongs to

Abstract:
The conventional belief that objective truth is incompatible with "bardic" insight (as Andre Maurois called it), has led to the undervaluing of the literary nature of biography. Not until it is generally understood that biography derives its form from the biographer's dependence upon language will biography be accepted as a symbolic structure the same as any other artifact of narrative discourse. The acceptance of biography as an art form worthy of the same serious critical attention shown the novel or the lyric would allow both the creators and readers of biography to realize and participate
