Baker (2008) shows how more flexible densities on R+ can be generated from others by applying the Schlömilch transformation to the abscissa. Such “transformation of scale” is not even guaranteed to provide integrable functions in general. The appeal of the Schlömilch transformation is that it automatically does so; moreover, the normalising constant is unaffected and hence immediately available...

We consider a semantics for a class-based object-oriented calculus based upon approximation; since in the context of LC such a semantics enjoys a strong correspondence with intersection type assignment systems, we also define such a system for our calculus and show that it is sound and complete. We establish the link with between type (we use the terminology predicate here) assignment and the a...

We define a strongly normalising proof-net calculus corresponding to the logic of strongly compact closed categories with biproducts. The calculus is a full and faithful representation of the free strongly compact closed category with biproducts on a given category with an involution. This syntax can be used to represent and reason about quantum processes.

Normalising CES production functions in the calibration of basic dynamic models allows to choose technology parameters in an economically plausible way. When variations in the elasticity of substitution are considered, normalisation is necessary in order to exclude arbitrary effects. As an illustration, the effect of the elasticity of substitution on the speed of convergence in the Ramsey model...

Prescriptive advice about doctoral writing often fails to recognise the complexities of journey. Linguistic and cultural backgrounds are negated where converges around a norm. In this paper, we explore role ‘advice’ in our growth as thesis writers by examining literacy history tensions faced while theses. We pursue duoethnographic process (Sawyer & Norris, 2013), that facilitates constructi...

STUDY QUESTION Which variables at 15 and 20 weeks' gestation, particularly those amenable to modification before pregnancy, are associated with a subsequent uncomplicated pregnancy? SUMMARY ANSWER Normalising body mass index, increasing fruit intake before pregnancy, reducing blood pressure, stopping misuse of drugs, and being in paid employment are all associated with subsequent uncomplicate...
