Representing Non-actual Targets?

چکیده
Abstract Models typically have actual, existing targets. However, some models are viewed as having non -actual I argue that this interpretation comes at various costs and propose an alternative fares better along two dimensions: (1) agreement with practice (2) ontological epistemological parsimony. My proposal is many of these actually actual

Representing non–weakly compact operators
For each S ∈ L(E) (with E a Banach space) the operator R(S) ∈ L(E/E) is defined by R(S)(x + E) = Sx + E (x ∈ E). We study mapping properties of the correspondence S → R(S), which provides a representation R of the weak Calkin algebra L(E)/W (E) (here W (E) denotes the weakly compact operators on E). Our results display strongly varying behaviour of R. For instance, there are no non–zero compact...
متن کاملRepresenting Non-Rigid Objects with Neural Networks
Self-organising neural networks try to preserve the topology of an input space by means of their competitive learning. This capacity has been used, among others, for the representation of objects and their motion. In this work we use a kind of self-organising network, the Growing Neural Gas, to represent deformations in objects along a sequence of images. As a result of an adaptive process the ...
متن کاملmechanics of projectile penetration into non-cohesive soil targets
investigation of projectiles penetration phenomenon has been carried out in non-cohesive soil (sand) targets under dry, saturated and compacted conditions. analytical studies have been performed on the linear and non-linear soil models to obtain penetration depth formulae for ogival nose projectile and the results are verified by experimental studies. in present work, three ogival nose projecti...
متن کاملA Non-radial Approach for Setting Integer-valued Targets in Data Envelopment Analysis
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been widely studied in the literature since its inception with Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes work in 1978. The methodology behind the classical DEA method is to determine how much improvements in the outputs (inputs) dimensions is necessary in order to render them efficient. One of the underlying assumptions of this methodology is that the units consume and prod...
متن کاملRepresenting Non-Citizen Latinos: An Assessment of Legislative Voting Behavior
As noted at the end of chapter 2, there are many factors that work against non-citizen representation, including the fact that first and foremost, these individuals cannot vote. However, there are reasons to believe that this group will remain relevant to a lawmaker, especially in certain contexts. As seen in chapter 3, the size of the broader Latino population and particularly, the non-citizen...
