This paper discusses the thoughts of the Austrian/American phenomenologist Alfred Schütz (1899–1959) and the British economist George Shackle (1903–1992) and their views on choice, which are in many ways very different, perhaps even inconsistent, but also complementary and may even have some shared elements. This is in particular so with regard to the problem of the paradox of choice, the overa...

contagion’ in online communities and argues that medical analogies such as the references to ‘viral’ memes are exaggerating the efficiency of information spread online. “Unlike for influenza, to which you’re either exposed or not exposed, even the ideas you do encounter have to compete for attention with everything else that you’re exposed to,” Watts concludes (http://poptech.org/e1_duncan_ wat...

This thesis investigates whether the economic regime of a country influences the efficacy of shock therapy reform, and if so, how. In this thesis, an economic regime is restricted to be either a mixed or socialist economy, and shock therapy is defined to be a class of rapid economic reforms used to introduce capitalism to a country. Based on existing literature on the subject of shock therapy, ...

Zola, in his book The Experimental Novel, introduces the aspects of what is now called the naturalistic novel. Later on, Zola’s ideas were exported to the English literature and the works of English novelists. George Gissing is one of the English authors who have successfully adopted the premises and the key elements of Zola’s naturalistic novel in their work. This paper deals with the naturali...

Smooth local coordinates have been proposed by Hiyoshi and Sugihara 2000 to improve the classical Sibson’s and Laplace coordinates. These smooth local coordinates are computed by integrating geometric quantities over weights in the power diagram. In this paper we describe how to efficiently implement the Voronoi based C local coordinates. The globally C interpolant that Hiyoshi and Sugihara pre...

Vector part i t ion functions appear in m a n y areas of mathemat ics and its applications, including representat ion theory [ 9 ] , commuta t ive algebra [ 14], approximat ion theory [ 4 ] and statistics [5 ] . It was shown by Blakley [ 2 ] that there exists a finite decomposi t ion of N d such that ~b A is a polynomial of degree n d on each piece. Here we describe such a decomposi t ion expli...

I ’ve been on the CiSE editorial board since the magazine was founded by George Cybenko, roughly 18 years ago. I’ve guest edited multiple special issues for CiSE (including this one) over that span, and I’ve served as an associate editor in chief for about 10 years. It’s a great privilege and honor to carry on the editorial work and continue serving the community as EIC for the next few years. ...
