Ida von Hahn-Hahn und Isabelle Eberhardt. Ausbruch aus Restriktionen – Auf der Suche nach sich selbst
No full textThe following thesis compares the travelogue Orientalische Briefe by the German author Ida von Hahn-Hahn with the travel journals Mes Journaliers by the French author Isabelle Eberhardt, in the context of how each woman represents herself as a female traveler and author. The comparative study analyzes whether both authors in these texts deal with the issue of breaking out of social and cultural restrictions while traveling to the ‘Orient’. The overall question of my thesis concerns what kind of filters did they use to speak about the ‘cultural other’.
The personal backgrounds of Ida von Hahn-Hahn and Isabelle Eberhardt differ in several aspects. The German author Ida von Hahn-Hahn visited the ‘Orient’ in 1843 temporarily and each place on only one occasion whereas the French author Isabelle Eberhardt constantly traveled at the end of the 19th century and at the same time she turned North Africa into her new home. These texts were analyzed in the context of gender discourse analysis, focusing on the discourse of feminity in the 19th century and the discourse of the Western world about the ‘Orient’. The comparison showed similarities and differences in the way both authors present themselves and the ‘Arab woman’ by (de-)constructing pre-existing ‘images’.
In my analysis I was able to demonstrate that both authors consciously deal with the western femininity discourse of the 19th century and the Western discourse about the ‘Orient’ by selecting similar motives. Even though their results are quite different, both authors clearly use the ‘Orient’ to express their search of one’s self
Characterization of the Dᵂ-Laguerre-Hahn functionals
No full text29 pages, no figures.-- MSC2000 codes: 33C45, 39A10.MR#: MR1914598 (2003e:33021)Zbl#: Zbl 1021.33007We give some characterization theorems for the DᵂLaguerre-Hahn linear functionals and we extend the concept of the class of the usual Laguerre-Hahn functionals to the Dᵂ-Laguerre-Hahn functionals, recovering the classic results when ᵂ tends to zero. Moreover, we show that some transformations carried out on the Dᵂ-Laguerre-Hahn linear functionals lead to new Dᵂ-Laguerre-Hahn linear functionals. Finally, we analyze the class of the resulting functionals and we give some applications relative to the first associated Charlier, Meixner, Krawtchouk and Hahn orthogonal polynomials.The work of the second author (FM) was supported by Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (Dirección General de Investigación) of Spain under grant BFM 2000-0206-C04-01 and the INTAS project INTAS 2000-272.Publicad
Asymptotic iteration method for solving Hahn difference equations
No full textHahn’s difference operator Dq;wf(x)=(f(qx + w) – f(x))/((q – 1)x + w), q ∈ (0, 1), w > 0,
x = w/(1 – q) is used to unify the recently established difference and q-asymptotic
iteration methods (DAIM, qAIM). The technique is applied to solve the second-order
linear Hahn difference equations. The necessary and sufficient conditions for
polynomial solutions are derived and examined for the (q;w)-hypergeometric
equation.Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of CanadaCanadian Network for Research and Innovation in Machining Technolog
The Approximate Jordan-Hahn Decomposition
No full textNon-commutative measure theory embraces measure theory on cr-fields of subsets of a set, on projection lattices of von Neumann algebras or JBW-algebras and on hypergraphs alike [20], [27], [33], [37], [39], [40], [41]. Due to the unifying structure of an orthoalgebra concepts can easily be transferred from one branch to the other. Additional conceptual inpetus is obtained from the logico-probabilistic foundations of quantum mechanics (see [6], [19], [21]).In the late seventies the author studied the Jordan-Hahn decomposition of measures on orthomodular posets and certain graphs. These investigations revealed an interesting geometrical aspect of this decomposition in that the Jordan-Hahn property of the convex set of probability charges on a finite orthomodular poset can be characterized in terms of the extreme points of the unit ball of the Banach space dual of the base normed space of Jordan charges.</jats:p
Information seeking with Wikipedia on the iPod touch
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to present the results of a usability study which inquired into undergraduate student information seeking with Wikipedia on the iPod touch. Students characterize the overall nature of information searched for with the Wikipedia app to be for recreational and for short factual information. Recreational searching as a way in which undergraduate students utilize mobile technology is an earlier finding of Wikipedia iPod usage, and is verified as a trend of undergraduate student search using the iPod. All undergraduate student participants of the Wikipedia app on a mobile interface report this tool as helping to become more efficient in their research. Students viewed Wikipedia articles about people and concepts more so than other article types.is peer reviewedSubmitted by James Hahn ([email protected]) on 2011-02-17T02:14:29Z

Hahn v. Superior Court: Failing to Take the Doctrine of Strict Premises Liability to Its Logical Conclusion
No full textThis Casenote questions the holding in Hahn v. Superior Court, decided by the California Court of Appeals in 1991. In Hahn, the Court of Appeals refused to extend the doctrine of strict liability to the owner of a shopping mall based on a defective commercial establishment. The Casenote argues that the development of the doctrine of strict premises liability was arrested prematurely by the courts in California due to their effort to curb the tide of plaintiff compensation. The author argues that defective commercial establishments place the public in as much risk of harm as manufacturers of defective products. The author reasons that if the strict liability policy considerations of accident reduction and risk distribution have any meaning, they are clearly applicable to commercial licensors of defective premises, such as Hahn. She concludes that the Hahn court\u27s reluctance to so hold is another example of courts\u27 unwillingness to take the doctrine of strict premises liability to its logical conclusion
An Analogy of Hahn-Banach Separation Theorem
No full textIn this paper, we introduce the notion of nearly topological linear spaces and use it to formulate an alternative definition of the Hahn–Banach separation theorem. We also give an example of a topological linear space to which the result is not valid. It is shown that R with its ordinary topology is not a nearly topological linear space.The author thanks the referee and the reviewers for their valuable comments/suggestions which improved the quality of the paper
Inference from absence in language and thought
No full textBook synopsis: The rational analysis method, first proposed by John R. Anderson, has been enormously influential in helping us understand high-level cognitive processes.
'The Probabilistic Mind' is a follow-up to the influential and highly cited 'Rational Models of Cognition' (OUP, 1998). It brings together developments in understanding how, and how far, high-level cognitive processes can be understood in rational terms, and particularly using probabilistic Bayesian methods. It synthesizes and evaluates the progress in the past decade, taking into account developments in Bayesian statistics, statistical analysis of the cognitive 'environment' and a variety of theoretical and experimental lines of research. The scope of the book is broad, covering important recent work in reasoning, decision making, categorization, and memory. Including chapters from many of the leading figures in this field
