Imaginary Worlds
Leaders today seem to be suffering from what might be called a failure of the imagination. We seem to be continually finding ourselves in situations where the leaders say something like “no one could have imagined that this would happen.” For example: Who could imagined that Hurricane Katrina would breach the levies in New Orleans; who could have imagined that an insurgency would arise from the...
متن کاملDetecting density dependence in recovering seal populations.
Time series of abundance estimates are commonly used for analyses of population trends and possible shifts in growth rate. We investigate if trends in age composition can be used as an alternative to abundance estimates for detection of decelerated population growth. Both methods were tested under two forms of density dependence and different levels of environmental variation in simulated time ...
متن کاملDetecting and modelling delayed density-dependence in abundance time series of a small mammal (Didelphis aurita)
We study the population size time series of a Neotropical small mammal with the intent of detecting and modelling population regulation processes generated by density-dependent factors and their possible delayed effects. The application of analysis tools based on principles of statistical generality are nowadays a common practice for describing these phenomena, but, in general, they are more ca...
متن کامل[Mechanisms of indeterminacy between the imaginary and the rational worlds in schizophrenic subjects].
INTRODUCTION Our investigation into dream and delirium in schizophrenic subjects was based on the notion of magical thought developed by Sami-Ali. Starting from this notion, we attempted to determine whether they somehow differentiate the psychic space of dream from that of delirium, whether either of these two spaces, or both, are caught in a relational deadlock, and eventually to analyse the ...
متن کاملLattice QCD at finite density: imaginary chemical potential
I describe the results for the critical line and the thermodynamics of different phases of QCD which have been obtained by lattice simulations with an imaginary chemical potential. I review motivations and merits of the different strategies – Taylor expansion, Fourier analysis and Pade’ approximants – for analytic continuation from imaginary to real chemical potential. I consider phenomenologic...
