To treat probability rigorously, we define a sample space S whose elements are the possible outcomes of some process or experiment. For example, the sample space might be the outcomes of the roll of a die, or flips of a coin. To each element x of the sample space, we assign a probability, which will be a non-negative number between 0 and 1, which we will denote by p(x). We require that p(x) = ...

This paper describes an algorithm that can be applied to cosmic data in MicroBooNE to identify and cluster Michel electron showers and reconstruct their energy using only 2D reconstruction information. It takes into account charge and position information from the collection plane only. An accurate reconstruction of the Michel energy spectrum will be useful as a calibration method in the early ...

In [11] Michel Talagrand gave a rigorous proof of the Parisi formula in the SherringtonKirkpatrick model. In this paper we build upon the methodology developed in [11] and extend Talagrand’s result to a more general class of mean field models with spins distributed according to an arbitrary probability measure on the bounded subset of the real line and with external field term given by an arbit...

In his recent paper [6] Michel Talagrand gave a rigorous proof of the Parisi formula for the free energy of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. In the present paper we utilize the methodology developed in [6] to compute the thermodynamic limit of the free energy of the set of configurations with the fixed average of spins N−1 ∑ i≤N σi = uN as uN → u ∈ [−1, 1].

287 A TRIBUTE TO MICHEL G BERGERON Dr Michel G Bergeron founded, more than 40 years ago, the Infectious Diseases Research Center (IDRC) in Quebec City, Quebec, and has been director since then. He has now decided to pass the torch as director, but will remain a researcher at the IDRC. As a way to express their sincere gratitude toward all that Dr Bergeron has achieved throughout the years, some...

Most feminist theorists over the last forty years have held that a basic tenet of feminism is that women as a group are oppressed. The concept of oppression has never had a very broad meaning in liberal discourse, however, and with the rise of neo-liberalism since 1980 it has even less currency in public debate. This article argues that, while we may still believe women are oppressed, for pragm...

Acknowledgments First of all I would like to express my gratitude to my promotor Prof. Arun Bagchi who offered me this PhD position. I thank him for his valuable scientific advice as well as for being very flexible and accommodating in all the practical matters. I would also like to thank my daily supervisor and assistant promotor Michel Vellekoop for his guidance, support and inspiring ideas t...

A major debate in Australian cultural studies in the 1990s has been the “cultural policy debate.” Drawing upon theories of governmentality developed by Michel Foucault and others, there has been a move to understand cultural institutions in terms upon their relationship to the formation of citizens in modern liberal democracies. While such work can provide considerable insight into contemporary...
