William Blake and the visionary poetry of the law.
No full textPhDThis dissertation examines the meaning of law in Blake's work. I argue that Blake's poetry
intersects with contemporaneous challenges to the traditional model of the ancient constitution,
a debate which I present as a conflict between custom and code. Blake's support for the French
Revolution's overthrow of the customary systems of the ancien regime is countered by his
nervousness about the rights-based discourse advanced by leading radical intellectuals such as
Thomas Paine, a belief that the new systems which they proposed merely re-stated those which
they sought to replace within an even narrower compass.
Law is also a contested ground within radical political discourse of this period; although the
dominant proposals advocated the enshrinement of fundamental rights and the codification of
law, there was also a tendency towards a more enthusiastic radicalism These millenarian
groups, emerging from antinomian heresy, rejected the notion of life being framed within a set
of moral laws. I argue that Blake cannot easily be placed in either group; his work exhibits a
fidelity to the redemptive potential of law, coupled with a real concern that to define freedoms
in legal terms serves to limit rather than to liberate.
Blake's work thus engages with a problem of the period: how to understand the new
discourses of law. The customary account of the ancient English conunon law is predicated on
the idea that it is codified, yet not written down; secular, though grounded in divine principle.
These ambivalences are exploited by Blake in his poetic exploration of the law in the 1790s. In
his nineteenth-century epics, Blake finds increasing help in dissenting religion's reconstruction
of a radicalized Jesus. Through this radical prophetic voice, Blake is able to construct a
redemptive legality founded on a deinstitutio-nalized Christianity, a constitutionalism that is
also recovered from the conventional customary account

A review of the \u3ci\u3eColaspis suilla\u3c/i\u3e species group, with description of three new species from Florida (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Eumolpinae)
No full textThe Colaspis suilla species group (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Eumolpinae) is defined relative to other species of the genus Colaspis Fabricius occurring in the United States. The group is composed of five species, of which three from Florida are described as new species: C. ansa Riley from the Florida Panhandle, C. skelleyi Riley from Central Florida, and C. thomasi Riley from the southern Lake Wales Ridge. Colaspis suilla borealis Blake is reduced to a full synonym of C. suilla Fabricius, new synonymy. Comparative remarks, habitus images, images of male and female genitalia, range maps, specimen data, and a key to species are presented
Essays in information elicitation and market design
No full text"This dissertation consists of three essays in microeconomic theory. The first two focus on how to elicit information about the state of the world from strategic agents, either to make a decision or for its own sake. The third studies a model of decentralized two-sided matching markets.
In ""Mechanisms for making accurate decisions in biased crowds,"" I study decision rules for finding the true answer to a binary question using the opinions of biased agents. Taking majority rule as a baseline, I study peer-prediction decision rules, which ask agents to predict the opinions of others in addition to providing their own. Incorporating first-order beliefs into the decision rule has the potential to recognize the correct answer even when the majority is wrong. However, I show the majority rule is essentially the only deterministic, neutral, anonymous, and interim dominance solvable mechanism. I then characterize all randomized peer-prediction mechanisms with these properties, using this result to show majority rule is the optimal mechanism in this class. Finally, I consider a simple, non-incentive-compatible decision rule based on the median prediction that implements majority rule when all agents are strategic and improves on majority rule when an unknown subpopulation is honest.
In ""Minimum truth serums with optional predictions,"" I introduce a class of mechanisms for eliciting private correlated signals from a group of expected score maximizers without external verification or knowledge about the agents' belief structure. Built on proper scoring rules, these minimum truth serums ask agents to report a signal and a prediction of the signals of others. If two agents with the same signal have the same expectations about the signals of others, the Bayesian incentive compatibility of these mechanisms follows with no further assumptions on the agents' belief structure. With a slight modification, the mechanism is still feasible and incentive compatible when the prediction portion of the report is optional.
In ""Uncoordinated two-sided matching markets,"" I study a decentralized proposal model in joint work with Juan Fung. The study of two-sided matching markets is now a major subfield of market design, focused primarily on the variants of the deferred acceptance algorithm. As a centralized mechanism, deferred acceptance is guaranteed to return a stable match. However, there is little definite work on whether uncoordinated agents find a stable matching on their own and the consequences if not. We show that small to moderately large uncoordinated markets reach a stable match within n^2 proposals from each agent when the proposal strategy isn't completely naive. We also show that stopping the proposal process early before stabilizing results in a more egalitarian and higher welfare match, particular when the two sides of the market are unbalanced. This suggests uncoordinated markets wouldn't benefit from centralization unless there is an obvious failing like market unraveling."Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

Distigmoptera BLAKE 1943
No full textDISTIGMOPTERA BLAKE, 1943 (FIG. 3) Type species: Distigmoptera apicalis Blake, 1943. Synonymy: No generic synonyms. Phylogenetic position: Distigmoptera has been traditionally placed in the subtribe Monoplatina, which has been confirmed as monophyletic in our analysis. We found Distigmoptera as sister to the clade containing moss-inhabiting Andersonaltica and Ulrica. Diversity and distribution: A total of 16 species of Distigmoptera are known, including one in Canada, two in Costa Rica, three in Mexico and one in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Nine Distigmoptera species occur in the USA (Riley et al., 2003).Published as part of Damaška, Albert František, Konstantinov, Alexander & Fikáček, Martin, 2022, Multiple origins of moss-inhabiting flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae): molecular phylogeny, overview of genera and a new genus from Africa, pp. 647-676 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 196 on page 661, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab112, http://zenodo.org/record/719624
Use of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for the Diagnosis of Failure of Transfer of Passive Immunity and Measurement of Immunoglobulin Concentrations in Horses
No full textBackground: The economic, accurate, and rapid screening of foals for failure of transfer of passive immunity (FPT) is essential to ensure timely intervention. Hypothesis: Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of foal sera and pattern recognition may be used to diagnose FPT and quantify serum IgG. Samples: Sera from 194 foals (24–72 hours) with serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations determined previously by radial immunodiffusion assay (RID) were used. Methods: IR spectra were recorded for the serum samples, and the data were randomly divided into training and independent test sets, each containing both FPT-positive (IgG <400 mg/dL) and non-FPT samples. A genetic optimal region selection algorithm and linear discriminant analysis were used to partition the training spectra, and the resulting classifier was then validated by comparing the IR-predicted FPT status for each of the test samples to that provided by the RID IgG assay. A quantitative IR-based assay for IgG was developed using partial least squares (PLS) and validated by testing its ability to predict IgG concentrations. Results: Specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy for the combined data were 92.5, 96.8, and 95.9%, respectively. Corresponding positive (88.1%) and negative predictive (98.0%) values determined a success rate of 95–97% as compared to RID-based IgG concentrations. The IR-based quantitative assay yielded correlation coefficients for IR spectroscopy versus RID-based IgG concentrations of 0.90 and 0.86 for the training and test sets, respectively. Conclusions and Clinical Importance: The overall performance of the IR-based test was similar to that of the colorimetric assay and was superior and more economic than other available tests.Christopher B.
