Abstract:

In this thesis I adopt an antirealist view of language understanding. According to that view we have understanding of a language only when it can be shown to others in common linguistic practice. I examine claims for the kind of knowledge involved in that understanding; claims about what we possess, how this is revealed, and how we may investigate it. By accepting that language use is a cognitive skill, I have to reject accounts of knowledge in purely linguistic, behavioural or social terms. The best way to examine cognitivist claims is by developing a cognitivist theory for the empirical inve

Abstract:

In recent history our understanding of the magnetic field and the generating motions of the molten iron in the Earths core have increased dramatically. The two major approaches to investigate fluid flow have been core surface flow modelling from magnetic data inversion and modelling of the dynamo itself. Core flow modelling involves downward continuation of the magnetic field to the core mantle boundary (CMB), then adopting the frozen flux approximation plus added assumptions e.g. tangential geostrophy to reduce non-uniqueness, to obtain fluid flow at the surface of the core that produces the

Jeden z kluczowych problemów współczesnej fizyki cząstek elementarnych dotyczy liczby zapachów neutrin występujących w naturze. Do tej pory udało się ustalić, ze istnieją trzy rodzaje neutrin aktywnych. Istotnym problemem jest ustalenie, czy istnieją inne dodatkowe stany neutrinowe. Neutrina takie nazywamy sterylnymi ze względu na fakt, ze ich oddziaływanie słabe ze znaną materią jest jak do tej pory poniżej eksperymentalnego progu detekcji. Niemniej jednak neutrina sterylne mogą się mieszać z neutrinami aktywnymi pozostawiając tym samym ślady swojego istnienia na poziomie Modelu Standa

Abstract:

Rejecting approaches with a directionality parameter, mainstream minimalism has adopted the notion of strict (or unidirectional) branching. Within optimality theory however, constraints have recently been proposed that presuppose that the branching direction scheme is language specific. I show that a syntactic analysis of Chechen word order and relative clauses using strict branching and movement triggered by feature checking seems very unlikely, whereas a directionality approach works well. I argue in favor of a mixed directionality approach for Chechen, where the branching direction scheme d

This thesis consists of four chapters. The first chapter explains the relevance of the research that has been undertaken and it contains an overview of this research for a general audience. The second chapter studies a multi-unit assignment with endogenous quotas in a dichotomous preference domain. The main conclusion I obtain is that pseudo-market mechanisms perform poorly in this type of environment. The third and fourth chapters use matching theory to understand segregation in matching environments ranging from integrating kidney exchanges platforms to the increase in interracial marriages

Abstract:

In this thesis we investigate the role played by fundamental properties of QED in determining the non-perturbative fermion-boson vertex. These key features are gauge invariance and multiplicative renormalisability. We use the Schwinger-Dyson equations as the non- perturbative tool to study the general structure of the fermion-boson vertex in QED. These equations, being an infinite set, have to be truncated if they are to be solved. Such a truncation is made possible by choosing a suitable non-perturbative ansatz for the fermion-boson vertex. This choice must satisfy these key properties of gau

Bibliography: leaves 150-161. This thesis addresses two areas in the field of conceptual structures. The first is the unification of conceptual graphs, and the consequent work in projection and in type hierarchies... The second area of investigation is the definition of constraints, especially real-value constraints on the concept referents, with particular attention to handling constraints during the unification of conceptual graphs.

Abstract:

Quantum mechanics, with the usual orthodox interpretation, leads to the problem of macroscopic linear superpositions: to avoid them the wave-function collapse postulate was introduced, forcing an arbitrary distinction between the microscopic (the system) and the macroscopic (the measurement apparatus). To resolve this issue, spontaneous collapse models suggest to combine the Schrödinger evolution with the wave-function collapse in a single dynamical law: in the microscopic regime we reobtain the predictions of quantum mechanics, within experimental errors, while for macroscopic objects we obta

Abstract:

For a graph G = (V,E), we consider a bipartition {V1,V2} of the vertex set V by placing constraints on the vertices as follows. For every vertex v in Vi, we place a constraint on the number of neighbors v has in Vi and a constraint on the number of neighbors it has in V3-i. Using three values, namely 0 (no neighbors are allowed), 1 (at least one neighbor is required), and X (any number of neighbors are allowed) for each of the four constraints, results in 27 distinct types of bipartitions. The goal is to characterize graphs having each of these 27 types. We give characterizations for 21 out of

The objective of the proposed research is to develop and analyze coding schemes for information-theoretic security, which could bridge a gap between theory an practice. We focus on two fundamental models for information-theoretic security: secret-key generation for a source model and secure communication over the wire-tap channel. Many results for these models only provide existence of codes, and few attempts have been made to design practical schemes. The schemes we would like to propose should account for practical constraints. Specifically, we formulate the following constraints to avoid ov

Abstract:

Languages differ in their sound patterns, but these differences are, to a large extent, systematic. One goal of Universal Grammar (Chomsky 1957, 1965) is to account for the systematic patterns which are attested across languages. Toward this end, Universal Grammar is considered to contain a set of phonological primitives such as features, and some restrictions on their combination. However, in rule-based phonology, it is assumed that rules are part of the grammar of an individual language. By their very nature, rules describe operations. As such, they are not well-suited to express restriction

Abstract:

The neutralization of the laryngeal features of a consonant that is not directly followed by a vowel is a common process cross -linguistically. Laryngeal neutralization in this position has a clear phonetic cause: laryngeal features are not salient unless they are immediately followed by a vowel. Since laryngeal neutralization has a phonetic cause, it seems reasonable to characterize it directly in phonetic terms, without positing any additional layer of phonological abstraction. However, a phonetic explanation is not sufficient to account for all cases of laryngeal neutralization. For example

We then obtain bounds on the conformal dimensions Delta2, Delta3 using no additional assumptions. We also show that in order to find a bound for Delta4 or higher Deltan, we need to assume a larger minimum value for ctot that grows logarithmically with n. We next extend the pr
