Retorisk konstituering af en sag. Den græske tradition

Ivan A. Sag

Ivan Sag died on September 10, 2013, after a long illness. He is survived by his wife, Stanford sociolinguistics professor Penny Eckert. In a career spanning four decades, he published over 100 articles and 10 books, centered on the theme of developing precise, implementable, testable, psychologically plausible, and scalable models of natural language, especially syntax and semantics.

Wind Simulation for Extreme and Fatigue Loads

Målinger af atmosfærisk turbulens afviger fra en Gaussisk proces, specielt hvad ang̊ar hastighedsændringer over sm̊a tidsskridt, hvor halerne p̊a sandsynlighedsfordelingen snarere er ekspotentielle end Gaussiske. Tælleprincipperne for ekstreme hændelser og eksistensen af kaskader af hændelser gennemg̊as. Empiriske ekstremstatistikker findes i overensstemmelse med Rices overskridelsesteori, n̊ar ford...

Beyond Tradition

Photon gates in atomic ensembles

Quantum computers operate with qubits, which are entities that can be in the state |0〉, state |1〉 or any superposition (linear combination) of those. One of the essential parts of a quantum computer is a controlled two-qubit gate. An example of such gate is the controlled phase gate, which imparts a phase of π (i.e. multiplies by −1) to the state, where both qubits are in |1〉. In this thesis we...

Characteristica Universalis *

Yores hensigt vil her va::re at konstruere dele af et direkte afbildende sprog, som vil sa::tte os i stand til at repra::sentere virkelighedens mest generelle strukturer. Vi skal ikke her benytte os af de logiske standard-behandlinger af epistemiske tilstande, der sa::dvanligvis opfatter disse som domme (propositioner). Vi vil i stedet genoptage den ikke mindre a::rva::rdige, men nutildags noge...
