Replication Data for: Free riding or discounted riding? How the framing of a bike share offer impacts offer-redemption
No full textThis data set contains three .csv files and one .txt file, which contains the code used in R to produce the results shown in the paper. The three .csv files are: PortlandALL (all the data in one place). PortlandNewDocks (only the subset of data for residents with a new station built near their existing home). And PortlandNewMovers (only the subset of data for residents who have newly moved to the area).
These are in three separate files as the author is not proficient in using R and found it easier to work with three different datasets

Kirkman triple systems with subsystems
No full textA Steiner triple system of order v, STS(v), together with a resolution of its blocks is called a Kirkman triple system of order v, KTS(v). A KTS(v) exists if and only if v≡3(mod6). The smallest order for which the KTS(v) have not been classified is v=21, which is also the smallest order for which the existence of a doubly resolvable STS(v) is open. Here, KTS(21) with STS(7) and STS(9) subsystems are classified, leading to more than 13 million KTS(21). In this process, systems missing from an earlier classification of KTS(21) with nontrivial automorphisms are encountered, so such a classification is redone.Peer reviewe
Further results on large sets of Kirkman triple systems
No full textAbstractAn LR design is introduced by the second author in his recent paper and it plays a very important role in the construction of LKTS (a large set of disjoint Kirkman triple system). In this paper, we generalize it and introduce a new design RPICS. Some constructions for these two designs are also presented. With the relationship between them and LKTS, we obtain some new LKTSs
Considering the Italics: Images of Appalachia in Fred Chappell’s Kirkman Tetralogy
No full textKeywords: literature, literary analysis, Fred Chappell, Kirkman Tetralogy, Appalachia, stereotypes This paper demonstrates how Fred Chappell uses the italicized sections in his Kirkman tetralogy to challenge stereotypical perceptions of Appalachia. The damage inflicted on Appalachia by the publication of local color literature has been extensive, especially when audiences have been conditioned to accept the authority of authors. It thus becomes important to know and question the credibility of authors and the images of Appalachia they create. Fred Chappell complicates the popular perception of Appalachia while using narrative form to remind readers of his limitations as an author. His writing, particularly his Kirkman tetralogy, can be seen as a successful contemporary effort to break apart stereotypical images of Appalachia that remain frozen in modern culture. While scholars do focus on the ways in which Chappell’s writing refutes and challenges stereotypes, critics seldom consider how the italicized sections of these novels further that aim. The thematic thread of the italicized sections is the coming of age and development of a writer, evident in the emotional and symbolic content of the sections. Through this construction Chappell calls attention to the limits of his authority as a writer, subtly cautioning readers not to take his tales as a monolithic representation of the region. In doing so, Chappell helps revise dominant narratives and encourages readers to consider diverse perspectives of Appalachia
Entre las caballerías y la picaresca: la obra en prosa de Francis Kirkman (1632-c.1680)
No full textThis article explores the intersection of romances of chivalry and the picaresque through theanalysis of a selection of works in prose by the London writer and bookseller Francis Kirkman(1632-c.1680), translator into English of Book VI of the Amadis cycle, continuator of Bellianis of Greece (Parts II-III) and of The English Rogue (Parts II-IV), and author of, among others, the biography of the impostor Mary Carleton, The Counterfeit Lady Unveiled, and of his own, The Unlucky Citizen. Taking Kirkman’s prose works as a case study, with a particularfocus on his autobiographical narrative, it will be seen how both genres, i.e. romances of chivalry and the picaresque, end up intertwining in seventeenth-century English literature.Este artículo explora la convergencia de los géneros de la novela de caballerías y la picaresca a través del análisis de la obra en prosa del escritor y librero londinense Francis Kirkman (1632-c.1680), traductor al inglés del libro sexto del ciclo de Amadís, continuador de Belianís de Grecia y de The English Rogue, autor de la biografía de la impostora Mary Carleton, The Counterfeit Lady Unveiled, y de la suya propia, The Unlucky Citizen. Tomando la obra en prosa de Kirkman a modo de estudio de caso, particularmente su narrativa autobiográfica, se estudia cómo los géneros de las novelas de caballerías y la picaresca terminan entremezclándose en la literatura inglesa del siglo XVII

The Capitalist “Dystopia” in Robert Kirkman\u27s Picture Novel The Walking Dead
No full textCapitalism is an economic system wherein a country\u27s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. By the early 21st century, the capitalist world system has entered into a structural crisis, and relentless capitalist accumulation on a worldwide scale is presently in essential clash with the survival of human civilization. Karl Marx (1818-1883) is the author of The Communist Manifesto (1848) and his critique became a prominent perception of capitalism during the mid-19th century. Looking back at the history of the “zombie” in American culture, it is a form of political commentary. The top of “zombiedom” today is The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman which centers around former deputy sheriff Rick Grimes who wakes from a coma to find the world invade with “zombies” and in a condition of aggregate social and economic crumple. Since Marx’s theory is based on capitalism and its running amok, the walkers can be used to symbolize capitalism in the story. They walk around doing nothing more than consuming any living thing that gets in their way. Marx\u27s theories about society, economics and politics known as Marxism, hold that human societies expand via class struggle. So analyzing the representational fluidity of Kirkman\u27s “zombies” in The Walking Dead by placing them in two disparate Marxian positions and a class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie are highlighted in this study
