In this paper I employ the notion of the ‘thought of the outside’ as developed by Michel Foucault, in order to defend the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze against the criticisms of ‘elitism,’ ‘aristocratism,’ and ‘political indifference’—famously leveled by Alain Badiou and Peter Hallward. First, I argue that their charges of a theophanic conception of Being, which ground the broader political clai...

We present a novel framework for motion segmentation that combines the concepts of layer-based methods and featurebased motion estimation. We estimate the initial correspondences by comparing vectors of filter outputs at interest points, from which we compute candidate scene relations via random sampling of minimal subsets of correspondences. We achieve a dense, piecewise smooth assignment of p...

I ended a relationship about a year ago. I have always seemed to have a yeast infection when I went to doctors before. In my relationship I had went to the doctors before because of discharge and just told them I didn?t need to really be looked at because I know what it is. Well at the end of my relationship I went to the doctor to get a whole check-up. Come to find out that what I thought was ...

Two frogs fell into a big pail of milk. They were unable to jump out of the pail. Both started paddling in order to remain afloat. But one of them despaired after some time, felt he could not continue and got drowned in the milk. The other frog thought that the only way to survive was to carry on paddling and so went on for a couple of hours. Suddenly, he felt something solid under his feet. It...

This paper addresses the following general scenario: A scientist wishes to perform a battery of experiments, each generating a sequential stream of data, to investigate some phenomenon. The scientist would like to control the overall error rate in order to draw statistically-valid conclusions from each experiment, while being as efficient as possible. The between-stream data may differ in distr...

In this paper we establish the existence of path-wise solutions and the uniqueness in law for multidimensional stochastic differential equations driven by a multi-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H > 12 .

BACKGROUND The current study explored the relationship between fighting behavior and passage of time, across games and seasons, in an attempt to assess if violent behavior in hockey is impulsive or intentional. HYPOTHESIS Before engaging in fighting behavior, players assess the utility of their actions and thus will fight less when the game is on the line (third period) and when champions are...
