Representing silk design: Nicholas Joubert de L'Hiberderie and Le dessinateur pour les etoffes d'or, d'argent et de soie (Paris, 1765)
No full textLe Dessinateur pour les étoffes d'or, d'argent et de soie was published in Paris in 1765 depite the reservations of the silk-weaving guild of Lyons, receiving a good response in the Enlightenment press. As the first description on French of the trade of silk designer to appear in the public domain, it has become an important work on which much subsequent history has been based, often rather uncritically. This article delves into the representation of design offered by this text, evaluating it against the personal experience of its author, the literary and manufacturing heritage on which he drew, and the readership for women it was intended. The analysis is based on the form and content of the book, the structure, vocabulary and illustrations. Comparative data are drawn from two other important publications on silk manufacture, the relevant sections of Denis Diderot's Encyclopédie and Jean Paulet's L'Art du fabriquant

On Sense, Tone, and Accompanying Thoughts
No full textThe paper deals with Frege's distinction between sense and colouring or tone as applied both to proper names and to compound sentences. It argues that Frege's way of drawing this distinction is unsatisfactory, much for the same reasons as Grice's theory of conventional implicature is a non starter. The author suggests that tone may contributes to assertoric content depending on contextually specified circumstances. The phenomenon of linguistic underdetermination is very widespread, and tone is only the tip of an iceberg that we need to explore more fully.
The paper deals with Frege's notions of sense and tone within the framework of recent theories of contextualism, literalism and multi-dimensionalism. Dummett's account of Frege's account of sense is reviewed and extended. The author suggests that tone differs from sense only as regards a higher degree of undeterdeterminationa and occasion sensitivity. Tone contributes to assertoric content, and differs from conventional implicatures, as described by Paul Grice and his followers

A auto-representalção e atuação dos professores-intérpretes de línguas de sinais: afinal ... professor ou intérprete?
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Educação. Programa de Pós-Graduação em EducaçãoEsta dissertação representa um estudo sobre a auto-representação dos "professores-intérpretes", a posição que ocupam, e sua prática na proposta de educação de surdos em Santa Catarina e no Paraná. Foi elaborada por meio de narrativas, ou seja, entrevista aberta, com seis profissionais, quatro de Santa Catarina e dois do Paraná. O arcabouço teórico utilizado para as discussões sobre representação se deu a partir do campo teórico dos Estudos Culturais, que possibilitou as investigações sobre cultura surda, o povo surdo, representações históricas - e ainda atuais - sobre os intérpretes, a educação bilíngüe para surdos, as discussões sobre a criação da nomenclatura "professor-intérprete" e suas implicações. O objetivo do trabalho foi perceber, a partir da auto-representação dos "professores-intérpretes", se a nomenclatura que lhes foi atribuída gera implicações em suas práticas ou não, e em qual posição os leva a atuar, se como professor ou como intérprete. Na análise dos dados realizada com os entrevistados, constatou-se que as questões acima mencionadas assumem ambas as posições, conclusão aceita por todos, com exceção de dois profissionais. A situação dos "professores-intérpretes" no Brasil é peculiar, uma vez que ainda não há cursos de nível superior para a formação que lhes é atribuída. Com a oficialização da Lei de Língua Brasileira de Sinais (10.436/02) e sua regulamentação, através do decreto 5626, pode-se dizer que há possibilidades de qualificar o trabalho destes com cursos de formação superior, sendo esta uma das maneiras de se conhecer o trabalho do intérprete de língua de sinais, já que a formação de todos os sujeitos analisados se resume à Educação. Sendo usadas duas línguas, podem esses professores ser classificados como bilíngües. Considerou-se relevante a possibilidade de rediscussão da nomenclatura "professor-intérprete" e a prática deste profissional na educação de surdos, havendo a possibilidade de se criarem um código de ética e a própria regulamentação do trabalho de professor-intérprete, caso assim permaneça esta nomenclatura
Optimizing stakes in simultaneous bets
No full textWe want to find the convex combination S of iid Bernoulli random variables that maximizes P(S ≥ t) for a given threshold t. Endre Csóka conjectured that such an S is an average if t ≥ p, where p is the success probability of the Bernoulli random variables. We prove this conjecture for a range of p and tGreen Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Applied Probabilit
Met Markov ketens op zoek naar de Zero Variance Importance Sampling verdeling
No full textStandaard Monte Carlo is niet geschikt voor het analyseren van Rare Events. We laten zien dat we bij dit soort problemen Importance Sampling kunnen toepassen en hoe we de Zero Variance verdeling kunnen vinden. Deze verdeling hangt echter af van constanten waar we de waarde niet van weten, maar door deze constanten te benaderen krijgen we een benadering van de verdeling. We passen deze methode toe op een eenvoudig (bonimiaal) Credit Risk model. Door de Zero Variance verdeling beter te benaderen, kunnen we een grotere variantie reductie realiseren. We hebben daarom een nieuwe methode ontwikkeld die na elke iteratie een betere benadering van deze verdeling geeft. De variantie reductie bij het gebruik van deze methode is aanzienlijk maar de methode is niet eenvoudig te implementeren.Applied MathematicsDelft Institute of Applied MathematicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
