    For every n-point subset X of Euclidean space and target distortion 1+eps for 0l_2^m where f(x) = Ax for A a matrix with m rows where (1) m = O((log n)/eps^2), and (2) each column of A is sparse, having only O(eps m) non-zero entries. Though the constructions given for such A in (Kane, Nelson, J. ACM 2014) are simple, the analyses are not, employing intricate combinatorial arguments. We here give two simple alternative proofs of their main result, involving no delicate combinatorics. One of these proofs has already been tested pedagogically, requiring slightly under forty minutes by the third author at a casual pace to cover all details in a blackboard course lecture

    No full text
    This bibliography of scholarship related to the writer T.S. Eliot is arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically within each year. This bibliography contains 1624 entries. Select entries have been annotated. Where available, annotations have been taken from the research database and are enclosed in brackets ([ ]). Annotations that have been taken from the works themselves are enclosed by asterisks. Annotations written by the author of this thesis have no special characters to distinguish them from other annotations. An annotated bibliography of Eliot criticism is essential to keep up with the recent resurgence in Eliot studies. The last bibliography published regarding Eliot's works was Sebastian Knowles and Scott A. Leonard's T.S. Eliot: Man and Poet, Volume 2: An Annotated Bibliography of a Decade of T.S. Eliot Criticism, 1977-1986. This new bibliography creates a central location for Eliot research for the years of 1987-2013

    Common Randomness Generation

    No full text
    In this talk I'll present our recent results on *Common Randomness Generation*, a very basic task where two parties have access to i.i.d. samples from a known source, and wish to generate many bits of randomness using limited (or no) communication with the largest possible agreement probability. Along the way, we'll see interesting connections to unbiased error-correcting codes, information complexity measures and communication with imperfectly shared randomness. Joint work with Badih Ghazi (MIT).Non UBCUnreviewedAuthor affiliation: IBM Almaden Research CenterFacult

    In this paper the author gives an exposition of T.S. Kuhn’s contribution to the philosophy and historiography of science. He discusses Kuhn’s rejection of the “received view "of science and places Kuhn’s critique on Logical Positivism within the framework of an historicist and sociological approach to the philosophy of science. The author pays attention to Kuhn s rival theory on the revolutionary growth oj science, with special reference to the role of the disciplinary matrix and exemplars in the formation of scientific knowledge. Kuhn’s differences form and attack on the basic premises oj the “received view" are clearly slated. After this exposition the author briefly evaluates Kuhn's influential contribution to the philosophy of science. He concludes with some remarks on the relevance of Kuhn’s theories for a Christian view of science

    J.V. Foix, traductor de T.S. Eliot (1927)

    No full text
    Aquest article vol demostrar que J.V. Foix és l’autor de les traduccions al català, publi-cades anònimament el 1927, de dos textos crítics de T.S. Eliot i de la tercera secció de The WasteLand. Les fonts són: «Note sur Mallarmé et Poe» (1926) i, en versió de Jean de Menasce, «Deuxattitudes mystiques: Dante et Donne» (1927) i La Terre mise à nu(1926). L’interès d’Eliot i Foixper Guido Cavalcanti és remarcable, i tal vegada remet a Rémy de Gourmont.This article argues that J.V. Foix was the author of the Catalan translations, pu -blished anonymously in 1927, of two essays by T.S. Eliot as well as the third section of Eliot’sThe Waste Land. The sources of these translations are Eliot’s «Note sur Mallarmé et Poe» (1926)and, in Jean de Menasce’s rendering, «Deux attitudes mystiques: Dante et Donne» (1927) and LaTerre mise à nu(1926). Eliot and Foix’s common interest in Guido Cavalcanti is worthy of note,and is perhaps rooted in Rémy de Gourmont
