As creativity is increasingly recognised as a vital component of entrepreneurship, researchers and educators struggle to reform enterprise pedagogy. To help in this effort, we use a personality test and open-ended interviews to explore creativity between two groups of entrepreneurship masters’ students: one at a business school and one at an engineering school. The findings indicate that both g...

art of Kant’s reason for writing the first Critique is to show the limits of theoretical reason; one of these limits is its inability to experience transcendence, to cognize supersensible objects, to intuit the sublime. But Kant doesn’t thereby want to make these experiences impossible—indeed, part of his reason for writing the second and third Critiques, along with such works as Religion withi...

We present an in-kernel disk prefetcher which uses speculative execution to determine what data an application is likely to require in the near future. By placing our design within the operating system, we provide several benefits compared to the previous application-level design. Not only is our system easier to implement and deploy, but by handling page faults as well as traditional file-acce...

We propose a new programmable concurrency control framework called speculative nondeterminism for real time, “open” and distributed agents. In this framework, dynamic and concurrent agent programs affect each other through a centralized store which represents shared resources. Our framework has novel programming constructs which allows an agent to speculate against the future by multiple exclus...

Some quantum cryptographic protocols can be implemented with specially prepared metaphorical chocolate balls representing local hidden variables, others protected by value indefiniteness cannot. This latter feature, which follows from Belland Kochen-Specker type arguments, is only present in systems with three or more mutually exclusive outcomes. Conversely, there exist local hidden variable mo...

We model the relationship between asset float (tradeable shares) and speculative bubbles. Investors with heterogeneous beliefs and short-sales constraints trade a stock with limited float because of insider lockups. A bubble arises as price overweighs optimists’ beliefs and investors anticipate the option to resell to those with even higher valuations. The bubble’s size depends on float as inve...
