Epilogue: the British way in corruption
No full textFirst paragraph: One of the core aims of this volume has been to begin the task of piecing together the bigger picture of how corruption has undermined and exercised public life in modern Britain during and since the ‘age of reform’, through the nineteenth century and into the twentieth. Conceptually, as an object of thought, as much as practically, as an object of reform, corruption has proved tenaciously problematic and protean. It is tempting no doubt, in the manner of the social scientist, to seek to tame its unruly qualities in this respect and to operate with a single definition, even a ‘universal’ one, captured in a pithy sentence or paragraph. To be sure, as the introduction has suggested, within the Western tradition of political thought, ‘corruption’ has long possessed a core set of (metaphorical) meanings (i.e. of decay and degeneration), and has always referred to the generic problem of the subversion of the public good by the interests and actions of a particular individual, group or class. But the challenge, as this volume sees it, is to work with, rather than against, the grain of the incredibly rich and diverse ways this basic conceptual form has been developed and deployed at particular times and places. It is only by doing so that we can fully appreciate why the corruption of public life has been – and remains – inextricably linked to the public life of corruption: to the ways, that is, it has been persistently debated and discussed, refashioned and redeployed, as the stuff not just of moral and political critique but of popular agitation and partisan politics. The objects of attack and sources of anxiety and scandal certainly changed as Britain entered the ‘age of reform’, and continued to change thereafter, as we have seen; and they were articulated in new idioms and refracted through new ideologies and ideals. But none of this entailed a diminution in the politics of corruption and its capacity to provoke varied diagnoses
Support Vector Machines for Credit Scoring and discovery of significant features
No full textThe assessment of risk of default on credit is important for financial institutions. Logistic regression and discriminant analysis are techniques traditionally used in credit scoring for determining likelihood to default based on consumer application and credit reference agency data. We test support vector machines against these traditional methods on a large credit card database. We find that they are competitive and can be used as the basis of a feature selection method to discover those features that are most significant in determining risk of default
Mechanism of Crook Development in Lumber During Drying
No full textCrook can cause yield and grade loss in lumber. In this study the mechanism of crook was studied so that a better understanding might lead to methods for minimizing its development. Crook was observed to begin at an average moisture content of about 50%, and then to increase linearly as moisture content decreases. Differential longitudinal shrinkage on opposite edges of boards is shown to be the cause of crook. A model was developed to predict crook from differential longitudinal shrinkage, and experimental results agree with model predictions. The model was extended so that estimates can be made of the restraining force necessary to prevent crook
South Dakota Diversity of Temperature: Pictures from Statistical Analysis
No full textThe regional diversity of monthly temperature was analyzed based on long-term data obtained for South Dakota (SD) from the High Plains Regional Climate Center. Multidimensional statistical methods were used and the principal results presented as a sequence of 2- and 3-dimensional scatterplot pictures depicting the quantitative results. 
System hierarchical model of landscape was used for research tasks formulation. Initial matrixes for three research tasks were compiled for the state. The first set of initial matrices of time series {Xt*n}, where t = number of years and n = number of meteorological stations, contains two matrixes: X1(67*29) and X2(33*94). The second set -{Xt*m}, where t = number of years and m = number of months in a year: X3(113*12), X4(110*12), and X5(102*12). The third set - {Xn*m}, where n = number of meteorological stations and m = number of months in a year, contains two matrixes: X6(29*12) and X7(94*12). 
Statistical analysis allowed us to differentiate weather stations by temporal trends and spatial distribution for the time interval 1932-1998. The most variable stations (Brookings, Camp Crook, and Highmore) were determined; their seasonality was described (the most variable months and correlation among months during the year) and their seasonal regime determined. The average annual and monthly temperature distributions were presented for South Dakota based on 29 and 94 stations for the time intervals 1932-1998 and 1963-1995.
