  • JM Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston
    1 'Presences of the Infinite': J. M. Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston PhD Royal Holloway University of London 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Peter Johnston, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Dated: 3 Abstract This thesis articulates the resonances between J. M. Coetzee's lifelong engagement with mathematics and his practice as a novelist, critic, and poet. Though the critical discourse surrounding Coetzee's literary work continues to flourish, and though the basic details of his background in mathematics are now widely acknowledged, his inheritance from that background has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive and mathematically- literate account. In providing such an account, I propose that these two strands of his intellectual trajectory not only developed in parallel, but together engendered several of the characteristic qualities of his finest work. The structure of the thesis is essentially thematic, but is also broadly chronological. Chapter 1 focuses on Coetzee's poetry, charting the increasing involvement of mathematical concepts and methods in his practice and poetics between 1958 and 1979. Chapter 2 situates his master's thesis alongside archival materials from the early stages of his academic career, and thus traces the development of his philosophical interest in the migration of quantificatory metaphors into other conceptual domains. Concentrating on his doctoral thesis and a series of contemporaneous reviews, essays, and lecture notes, Chapter 3 details the calculated ambivalence with which he therein articulates, adopts, and challenges various statistical methods designed to disclose objective truth.

Extent: 66 cubic ft. (165 legal-size Hollinger boxes) Physical Description: Paper Location: MSA Stacks ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Alternative Formats: Microfilm (S95-S123) of the Pardon Papers, 1837-1909, was made before additions, interfiles, and merging of the series. Most of the unmicrofilmed material will be found from 1854-1876 (pardon certificates and presidential pardons from an unprocessed box) and 1892-1909 (formerly restorations of citizenship). Also, stray records found in the Senior Reference Archivist’s office from 1836-1920 in Box 164 and interfiles (bulk 1860) from 2 Hollinger boxes found in the stacks, a portion of which are in Box 164. Access Restrictions: Applications or petitions listing the social security numbers of living people are confidential and must be provided to patrons in an alternative format. At the discretion of the Senior Reference Archivist, some records from the Board of Probation and Parole may be restricted per RSMo 549.500. Publication Restrictions: Copyright is in the public domain. Preferred Citation: [Name], [Date]; Pardons, 1836- ; Commissions; Office of Secretary of State, Record Group 5; Missouri State Archives, Jefferson City. Acquisition Information: Agency transfer. PARDONS Processing Information: Processing done by various staff members and completed by Mary Kay Coker on October 30, 2007. Combined the series Pardon Papers and Restorations of Citizenship because the latter, especially in later years, contained a large proportion of pardons. The two series were split at 1910 but a later addition overlapped from 1892 to 1909 and these records were left in their respective boxes but listed chronologically in the finding aid.

  • The Fessard's School of Neurophysiology After the Second
    Archives Italiennes de Biologie, 149 (Suppl.): 187-195, 2011. The fessard’s School of neurophysiology after the Second World War in france: globalisation and diversity in neurophysiological research (1938-1955) J.-G. BARBARA Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS UMR 7102; Université Denis Diderot, Paris, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS UMR 7219 ABSTRACT In France, neurophysiology emerged after the Second World War as a dynamic discipline in different schools, Toulouse, Lyons, Montpellier, Marseilles, and Paris, where Lapicque was losing credit with his studies on the excitability of nerves. Parisian neurophysiologist, Alfred Fessard (1900-1982) was a key figure in establishing a new school of neurophysiology on the model of Edgar Adrian’s department in Cambridge, where he worked for a few months in the late thirties. Fessard was initially a student of Henri Piéron involved in experimental psychology. He also made parallel oscillographic studies on elementary activities in various animal and plant preparations. His school trained leading French neurophysiologists in Paris until recently and Fessard was instrumental in the creation of IBRO in 1961.

  • Development of a Hill-Type Muscle Model with Fatigue for the Calculation of the Redundant Muscle Forces Using Multibody Dynamics
    2 cm 2 cm Development of a Hill-Type Muscle Model With Fatigue for the Calculation of the Redundant Muscle Forces using Multibody Dynamics ANDRÉ FERRO PEREIRA Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em ENGENHARIA BIOMÉDICA Júri Presidente: Prof. Helder Carriço Rodrigues Orientador: Prof. Miguel Pedro Tavares da Silva Prof. Mamede de Carvalho Vogais: Prof. Jorge Manuel Mateus Martins Prof. João Nuno Marques Parracho Guerra da Costa Outubro 2009 ii Resumo O objectivo deste trabalho é o desenvolvimento de um modelo muscular versátil e a sua implementação de forma robusta e eficiente num código de dinâmica de sistemas multicorpo com coordenadas naturais. São considera- dos dois tipos de modelos: o primeiro é um modelo muscular do tipo Hill que simula o comportamento das estruturas contrácteis, tanto para análises em dinâmica directa como inversa. O segundo é um modelo dinâmico de fadiga muscular que toma em consideração o historial de cada músculo, em termos de força produzida, estimando o seu nível de aptidão física usando um mod- elo multi-compartimentar triplo e a hierarquia de recrutamento muscular. A formulação para as equação do movimento é adaptada, de forma a incluir os modelos descritos, através do método de Newton. Isto permitirá, numa perspectiva de dinâmica directa, que se proceda ao cálculo da cinemática do sistema mecânico resultante para determinadas activações musculares previ- amente conhecidas, ou, numa perspectiva de dinâmica inversa, a computação das activações musculares necessárias para provocarem um movimento artic- ular prescrito. Para ambas estas formulações, os sistemas são redundantes, uma propriedade que é ultrapassada no segundo caso usando um algoritmo de optimização.

  • An Efficient Muscle Fatigue Model for Forward and Inverse Dynamic Analysis of Human Movements
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia IUTAM 2 (2011) 262–274 2011 Symposium on Human Body Dynamics An efficient muscle fatigue model for forward and inverse dynamic analysis of human movements Miguel T. Silva*, André F. Pereira, Jorge M. Martins Biomechatronics Research Group IDMEC/ISTಣInstituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal Abstract The aim of this work is to present the integration of a simple and yet efficient dynamic muscle fatigue model in a multibody formulation with natural coordinates. The fatigue model considers the force production history of each muscle to estimate its fitness level by means of a three-compartment theory approach. The model is easily adapted to co-operate with standard Hill-type muscle models, allowing the simulation and analysis of the redundant muscle forces generated in the presence of muscular fatigue. This has particular relevance in the design of orthotic devices to support human locomotion and manipulation. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Peer-review under responsibility of John McPhee and József Kövecses Keywords: Redundant muscle forces; Muscular fatigue model; Hill-type muscle model; Natural coordinates; Forward dynamics; Inverse Dynamics 1. Introduction Computational simulation and analysis of the human movement is becoming a fundamental tool in many medical and biomedical applications, providing accurate quantitative results that can be used to support medical decision and diagnosis or in the integrated design of ortho-prosthetic devices for manipulation and locomotion [1,2]. In particular, multibody dynamics methodologies have emerged and rapidly evolved through the last decades as an accurate and well adapted computational technique, naturally fitted to deal with the dynamics of biomechanical systems, due to their unique characteristic of allowing the calculation of complex biomechanical data in a non-invasive way [3,4].

  • List of Nobel Laureates 1
    List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.

  • The Early Generativists' Multipronged
    DISCUSSION NOTE Getting the word out: The early generativists’ multipronged efforts to diffuse their ideas Frederick J. Newmeyer University of Washington , University of British Columbia , and Simon Fraser University This discussion note revolves around the early days of generative grammar, that is to say the late 1950s and the 1960s. A number of commentators have claimed that MIT linguists in this pe - riod formed an elitist in-group, talking only to each other by means of inaccessible ‘underground’ publications and thereby erecting a barrier between themselves and the outside world of linguis - tics. I attempt to refute such claims. We see that the early generativists used every means at their disposal at the time to diffuse their ideas: publishing single-authored books, journal articles, an - thology chapters, and technical reports; aiding the writing of textbooks; giving conference talks; teaching at LSA (Linguistic Society of America) Institutes; and hosting numerous visitors to MIT. And in particular, there was no significant ‘underground’ literature to obstruct the acceptance of the new theory.* Keywords : history of linguistics, generative grammar, MIT, Noam Chomsky, underground literature 1. Introduction . As early as 1964 a commentator had written: ‘[T]ransformational grammar has established itself as the reference point for discussion of linguistic theory … it remains the case that it has been Chomsky who has effectively opened the Ameri - can linguistic scene to its present free and fruitful discussion’ ( Hymes 1964 :25). A year later, there was talk of a ‘Chomskyan revolution’ in the field ( Bach 1965b :111–12, Levin 1965 :92, Thorne 1965 :74). 1 How did the theory of transformational-generative grammar succeed so rapidly, that is, in seven or eight years after the publication of Syn - tactic structures (Chomsky 1957 )? The most important reason by far is that a wide spectrum of the linguistic community found the theory to be either correct or on the right track (for extensive discussion, see Newmeyer 1986 :Ch.
