Experimental and bond graph based sensitivity calculations for micro-scale robust engineering design
No full textCopyright @ 2005 IEEEBond graph modeling and sensitivity analysis are used to provide a platform for the robust design of a small mechatronic device, a behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid. Two key components of the device, namely the telecoil and the receiver, are considered. Experimental measurements, bond graph simulation models and analytic sensitivity analysis are used to investigate the interaction between these components in order to gain insight into the effect of component placement on the robustness of the final product

Bates and his family moved here in 1793 when he was just a year old. Adventist Heritage Ministries currently owns and operates the home as a museum. The property was acquired in 2005
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Bates and his family took up residency at the home in 1793 when he was just a year old. Adventist Heritage Ministries currently owns and operates the home as a museum. The property was acquired in 2005. The front porch and garage were added sometime during the 1940s. The house has been restored to fit the original layout
Teenage Bates Motel
No full textBates Motel è una riuscita operazione intertestuale che trasferisce nell’orizzonte sociale dei teenage serials contemporanei il prequel dell’immaginario canonizzato dal celebre Psycho di Alfred Hitchcock. Il motel di Norman Bates e la casa sulla collina rappresentano il trauma culturale americano degli assassini seriali.
Il telefilm si concentra sull’adolescenza di Norman, ma il vero protagonista del mondo narrativo evocato anche nel titolo è proprio il motel.Bates Motel is a successful intertextual operation that transfers the prequel of the imagery canonized by the famous Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" into the social horizon of contemporary teenage serials. Norman Bates' motel and the house on the hill represent the American cultural trauma of the serial killers.
The Tv serial focuses on an adolescent Norman, but the true protagonist of the narrative world evoked in the title is just the motel

No full textHere is a curious find with ties to four books already in the collection. It is closest to the copy from Old Children's Books in New Orleans in June, '87. The only difference here lies in the red cloth cover with the title placed before a half sunburst, a panel highlighting TH, images for LM, and acknowledgement of author and artists. Internally, the books are identical. The next closest comes from Bookhouse, Arlington Oct., '91, which is different on both sides of the title-page. Two further cousins have identical content after the first few pages but have a different title, "Select Fables" on their front covers. As I wrote of the Old Children's Books version, one finds here prose versions followed by Bates' long poetic versions surrounded with art. The best illustrations are of FS and FK. This version has the same error in the title of the prose version: "The Lark and the Farmer" should have a plural for the bird. The spine is become detached from the block of this book.Mrs. Clara Doty Bate
Guide to the Marjorie Bates Collection, Bulk 1917-1928
No full textBiographical Sketch
Marjorie Bates was born in Cambridge, MA on July 31, 1897. During her childhood her family moved to Braintree, MA, and in September of 1915 she entered the two-year teaching program at Bridgewater State Normal School. She graduated in June of 1917 and the following September started her fist teaching job in Falmouth, MA. Bates taught in Falmouth for one year before attending Burdett College in 1918. It is unclear whether she finished the program there. In March of 1920 she began teaching fifth grade at the John Hancock School in Quincy, MA, but it is unclear how long she was employed there.
In 1923 Bates moved to Arizona and began teaching at the Theodore Roosevelt Indian School at Fort Apache the year it opened. The fort was built in 1870 on land granted to the U.S. military by the Apache tribe. It was used for various military operations until 1922 when it was handed over to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The fort then became the Theodore Roosevelt School in 1923 and functioned as an Indian reform school. It is still running to this day, however it is not run by the Apache Trible Counsel. Bates taught both the third grade and adult primary at the Theodore Roosevelt School. She worked there until January of 1925.
In March of 1925 Bates started working at the Phoenix Indian School. The Phoenix Indian School opened in 1891 in order to assimilate Native American children to white culture. It remained in operation until 1990 when it was shut down by the federal government. While at the Phoenix Indian School, Bates taught the sixth grade and frequently describes her lessons and exams in her letters. She taught there for just over two years and left in June of 1927. From November of 1927 to May of 1928 she taught at Northfield Seminary in Northfield, MA. Details about her life following this are not documented in the collection.
Scope and Content Note
The Marjorie Bates Collection primarily consists of letters written by Bates to her family, with the bulk of them dated between 1924 to 1928. In addition to these letters Bates would occasionally include pieces of ephemera that pertained to something described in her letter. This includes posters, brochures, and programs from a variety of events and places Bates went to or participated in. She traveled frequently, and this is depicted in her letters sent back to her parents. The collection is broken into four series with the first three series focusing on specific schools Bates taught at. Series one covers her time teaching at the Theodore Roosevelt School at Fort Apache, Arizona, from April 1923 to January 1925. Series two covers her time teaching at the Phoenix Indian School in Phoenix, Arizona from February 1925 to July 1927. Series three covers her time teaching at Northfield Seminary in Northfield, Massachusetts, from November 1927 to May 1928. The letters in these first three series describe classroom activities and school events, along with Bates’s personal activities. Series four consists of miscellaneous letters from both before and after her time teaching, as well as letters to and from other family members that do not pertain to Marjorie Bates. This series also contains one letter written in 1917 that describes her time at Bridgewater State Normal School
Generalized Bates model with renewal processes: calibration enhancement and efficient pricing via COS expansion
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALEPartendo dal noto modello di Bates, ampiamente utilizzato in ambito finanziario per la valutazione delle opzioni all’interno di un framework di volatilità stocastica, l’obiettivo di questa tesi è approfondire e migliorare la capacità del modello di simulare i movimenti di mercato e la sua accuratezza nella determinazione dei prezzi. In particolare, il lavoro si concentra su una generalizzazione del modello di Bates, in cui il consueto "jump term", modellato seguendo un compound Poisson process, viene sostituito da un renewal process: la disitribuzione esponenziale dei tempi di attesa tra "jumps", viene sostituita da distribuzioni più complesse. In questo studio, le distribuzioni Weibull e Mittag-Leffler saranno le candidate per modellare le attese tra salti. Il trade-off tra complessità e costi computazionali rispetto all’accuratezza del processo di calibrazione sarà un fattore cruciale per determinare se l’estensione del modello di Bates rappresenti un effettivo miglioramento, non solo da un punto di vista teorico, ma anche nella sua applicazione ai mercati reali. Il processo di calibrazione viene analizzato non solo attraverso il noto algoritmo di Carr-Madan, ma anche mediante l’espansione COS. In particolare, seguedo questa seconda tecnica di calibrazione, il modello proposto con tempi di attesa tra "jumps" distribuiti secondo una distribuzione Mittag-Leffler, si dimostra estremamente efficiente nel contesto della calibrazione multi-maturity, rappresentando un significativo miglioramento rispetto al modello di Bates classico.Starting from the well-know Bates model, largely used in finance to price options within a stochastic volatility framework, the objective of the the- sis is to further analyze and improve the ability of the model to simulate market movements and its pricing accuracy. Specifically the work focuses on a general- ization of the Bates Model, which is going to substitute the usual "jump" term, a compound Poisson process, with a renewal process: the exponentially distributed interarrival times between jumps will be replaced by more complex distributions. Weibull and Mittag-Leffler random variables will be the candidate distributions for the interarrival times of jumps studied in this paper. The trade-off between Com- plexity and Computational Costs versus Accuracy of the calibration process will be a crucial factor to determine whether or not the extension of the Bates model is actually an improvement, not only from a theoretical perspective, but also when realistically applied to the markets. The calibration process will be investigated, not only using the well-know Carr-Madan algorithm, but also through the COS expansion. In particular, the proposed model exploiting Mittag-Leffler distributed inter-arrival times, especially within the COS framework, results to be extremely efficient in terms of multi-maturity calibration, representing a great improvement of the classical Bates model
Selections from Aesop's Fables
No full textProse versions followed by Bates' long poetic versions surrounded with art. Might individual pieces have appeared individually in children's magazines? Childe Hassam is the best known illustrator, but his work here on TMCM is only okay. The best illustrations are of FS and FK. A valuable book, even though it is not to my taste. This edition has a different cover from the other printing of the same year, uses better paper, and gives the publisher's address and acknowledges the printer on the title page. Both show an error in the title of the prose version: The Lark and the Farmer should have a plural for the bird.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Mrs. Clara Doty Bate
