in this paper, the writers try to compare two authors, the iranian leftist, bozorg alavi (1904-1997) and the polish joseph conrad (1857-1924). although these two writers have different attitudes to socialism and the question of revolution, both share romantic idealism and a tragic sense of personal and social life. moreover, they both are precursors of modernist novel in their countries, and sh...

For convenience, let us rewrite v(x,y) as a function of three parameters v(dc,don, p): the compressed discontinuity dc, the oriented normalized discontinuity don, and the relative coordinates of the screen-space pixel in the projected light space p. For the parameters dc and p, the description given in the Section 3.1 of the paper is sufficient for this supplementary document. However, we need ...

This paper is partly born of an increasing sense of uncertainty about how to do syntax. Time was, we linguists had at our disposal a generally accepted arsenal of analytic devices to deal with a familiar range of constructions and phenomena. However, as the phenomena under study began to proliferate, so did the analyses. The increasingly baroque GB architecture began to collapse under the weigh...

The 41 0-kilometer seismic discontinuity is generally considered to be caused by a phase transformation of the main constituent of the upper mantle, olivine, ot-(Mg,Fe)2SiO4, to P-(Mg,Fe)2SiO4. Recent data show that H20 dissolves in olivine and other nominally anhydrous mantle minerals and that the partitioning of H20 between olivine and P-(Mg,Fe)2Si04 is about 1:10. Such behavior strongly affe...

This work is based on the framework proposed by Conrad (1997) to determine the optimal timing of an investment or policy to slow global warming. While Conrad formulated the problem as a stopping rule option pricing model, we treat the policy decision by considering the total damage function that enables us to make some interesting extensions to the original formulation. We show that Conrad’s fr...

These are lecture notes that Tony Feng live-TEXed from a course given by Brian Conrad at Stanford in“winter” 2015, which Feng and Conrad edited afterwards. Two substitute lectures were delivered (by Akshay Venkatesh and Zhiwei Yun) when Conrad was out of town. This is a sequel to a previous course on the general structure of linear algebraic groups; some loose ends from that course (e.g., Cheva...
