Abstract:

The primary objective of this creative project is to explore the meaning and complexity of simple forms, also referred to as symbols. The project examines symbols that interest me. These symbols may be found in various cultures and subcultures throughout the world. I also designed symbols to describe weather phenomena.I have provided a thematic interpretation of my work, focusing on the themes of identity and spirituality. When people view my work they may have multiple interpretations, but a thematic explanation of each piece also provides information for the viewer to ponder. The paper also

Abstract:

Idag använder spelindustrin flertalet metoder för att leda spelare igenom spel som färg- och ljussättning och användandet av former. Denna uppsats fokuserar på det sist nämnda och försöker besvara frågan: I valet mellan simpla symboler, finns det en specifik symbol som spelare föredrar att följa och vad assosierar de med denna symbol? För att besvara denna fråga skapades ett test som undersökte spelares val då de presenterades för tre symboler, en cirkel, en triangle och en fyrkant. Testet var en spelprototyp som bestod av en korridor, vilket var spelets inlärnings område, och ett rum med tre

According to Onkvisit and Shaw (1987), many products and possessions can be perceived as extensions of consumers' self-identity. Some consumers might even try to enhance their image through conspicuous or status consumption. According to Mosteller (2008), possessing a pet is closely related to the theory of the extended self. Among other types of conspicuously consumed goods, rare or unusual animals may be purchased to satisfy the consumer's need for status (Hirschman, 1994).

Abstract:

At present there is no complete algorithm for the calculation of the coupling or recoupling factors of an arbitrary compact group. However, this thesis is based on the premise that the 6j can be calculated using only the Kronecker product rules for the group and the general relations between 6j. We review the symmetry properties of the 6j symbols and choose a set of values for the permutation matrices of a mixed symmetry triad. An algorithm is presented for the recursive calculation of coupling and recoupling factors in terms of the primitive factors. This algorithm is shown to be complete.

I am investigating the significance of historic events of flight through image making; particularly incidents that captured the collective imagination and became part of our cultural memory. These events have surpassed mere entries in historical texts and become mythic. In the terms of Jungian psychology, they have become symbolic. In terms of Semiotics, they have become signs. Through photographs and installation, I seek to understand their presence in my, and our, unconscious mind.

Batman has become a fixture in the popular consciousness of America. Since his first publication in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, he has never ceased publication, appearing in multiple titles every month as well as successfully transitioning into other media such as film and television. A focused analysis of the character will reveal that Batman has achieved and maintained this cultural resonance for almost seventy years by virtue of attaining the status of a postmodern American mythology. In both theme and function, Batman has several direct connections to ancient mythology and has adapted th

My thesis will demonstrate that symbols matter in international relations because of the way they can influence legitimacy. Joseph Nye has argued, “cooperation is a matter of degree” in international relations (Nye 2004, 29); legitimacy is one of the factors that determines the extent to which the international community will cooperate with a given action. Thomas Franck (1990) argues that legitimacy, too, is a matter of degree. This means that actions are not always judged to be strictly legitimate or illegitimate, but rather, they fall on a spectrum somewhere between the two extremes. The puz

Abstract:

We establish elements of a new approch to ellipticity and parametrices within operator algebras on a manifold with higher singularities, only based on some general axiomatic requirements on parameter-dependent operators in suitable scales of spaces. The idea is to model an iterative process with new generations of parameter-dependent operator theories, together with new scales of spaces that satisfy analogous requirements as the original ones, now on a corresponding higher level. The “full” calculus is voluminous; so we content ourselves here with some typical aspects such as symbols in terms

Abstract:

Let K be a number field, R its ring of integers. For some classes of fields, spaces of cusp forms of weight 2 for GL(2;K) have been computed using methods based on modular symbols. J.E. Cremona [9] began the programme of extending the classical methods over Q to the case of imaginary quadratic fields. This work was continued by some of his Ph.D. students [35, 6, 22], and results have been obtained for some imaginary quadratic fields with small class number. More recently, P. Gunnells and D.

Explanations of why mathematics is useful to empirical research focus on mathematics' role as a representation or model. On platonist accounts, the representational relation is one of structural correspondence between features of the real world and the abstract mathematical structures that represent them. Where real numbers are concerned, however, there is good reason to think the world's correspondence with systems of real number symbols, rather than the real numbers themselves, can be utilized for our representational purposes.

Abstract:

Operators on manifolds with corners that have base configurations with geometric singularities can be analysed in the frame of a conormal symbolic structure which is in spirit similar to the one for conical singularities of Kondrat'ev's work. Solvability of elliptic equations and asymptotics of solutions are determined by meromorphic conormal symbols. We study the case when the base has edge singularities which is a natural assumption in a number of applications. There are new phenomena, caused by a specific kind of higher degeneracy of the underlying symbols. We introduce an algebra of meromo

More explicitly, the congruence result states that, under certain conditions, τ(χ ̄)L(f,χ,j)/(2πi)^(j−1)Ω_f^(sgn(E)) ≡ τ(χ ̄)L(E,χ,j)/(2πi)^(j)Ω_E (mod p) where t

The theory of overconvergent modular symbols, developed by Rob Pollack and Glenn Stevens, gives a beautiful and effective construction of the p-adic L-function of a modular form. In this thesis, we develop the theory of overconvergent modular symbols over a completely general number field and use it to construct p-adic L-functions for automorphic forms for GL2. In particular, we prove control theorems that say that the natural specialisation map from overconvergent to classical modular symbols is an isomorphism on the small slope subspaces, hence attaching a unique overconvergent modular symbo

The ability for students to understand numbers and other mathematical symbols is a crucial part of success in mathematics.

Research that joins the mind and brain sciences with education, such as educational neuroscience work, provides a powerful way to examine students’ symbolic number processin

However, recent history and the perceived misuse of such symbols by some political parties meant that mobilizing them carried risks in 2014.

The factorization has applications to the theory os pseudodifferential operators on spaces with conical singularities, e.g., to the index theory and the construction of various sub-calculi of the cone calculus.

When combined with the local principle, this leads to describing the Fredholm operators in G (D; ω).
