Paley, William: science and rhetoric in his natural theology
No full textWilliam Paley's Natural Theology is probably the nineteenth century's most well- known design argument. As such an influential book, it is almost expected that twentieth century intellectual historians should at least pay a footnote to it. In midst of all these studies about the impact of Natural Theology upon the nineteenth century, one key fact is forgotten: Natural Theology and its sources were written in the eighteenth century. It is the goal of this thesis to demonstrate that Paley's design argument must be compared to the intellectual climate of that time period. Chapters 1 and 2 outline the rhetorical argument and the tools that Paley used to persuade his polite eighteenth century audience. The majority of scientific sources and examples he used were well-known names and therefore implicitly contributed to the believability of his argument. Accordingly, chapters 3 and 4 investigate why Paley's scientific sources added credibility to Natural Theology. Chapters 5 and 6 examine the actual scientific data that Paley turned into examples for his design argument. Setting the rhetoric aside, what was the actual scientific picture communicated by his examples? In these chapters, we find that even though Paley argues against random change, he does support a morphological telic change—the development of a supplemental part based on a pre-existing, fixed body part. As every chapter of this thesis unfolds, it will become more apparent that Paley was an intellectual heir to the eighteenth century. He wrote in a polite manner and employed a body of standard eighteenth century natural philosophical knowledge. It is this context that must be addressed and seriously considered when studying the nineteenth century intellectual legacy of Natural Theology
The Paley ulnarization of the carpus with ulnar shortening osteotomy for treatment of radial club hand
No full textRecurrent deformity from centralization and radialization led to the development in 1999 of a new technique by the author called ulnarization. This method is performed through a volar approach in a vascular and physeal sparing fashion. It biomechanically balances the muscle forces on the wrist by dorsally transferring the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) from a deforming to a corrective force. The previous problems of a prominent bump from the ulnar head and ulnar deviation instability were solved by acutely shortening the diaphysis and by temporarily fixing the station of the carpus to the ulnar head at the level of the scaphoid. This is the first report of this modified Paley ulnarization method, which the author considers a significant improvement over his original procedure

Permutation Decoding Of Codes From Generalized Paley Graphs
No full textThe generalized Paley graphs GP (q, k) are a generalization of the well-known Paley graphs. Codes derived from the row span of adjacency and incidence matrices from Paley graphs have been studied in Ghinellie and Key (Adv Math Commun 5(1):93-108, 2011) and Key and Limbupasiriporn (Congr Numer 170:143-155, 2004). We examine the binary codes associated with the incidence designs of the generalized Paley graphs obtaining the code parameters [qs/2, q - 1, s ] or [ qs, q - 1, 2 s ] where s = q 1/k. By finding explicit PD-sets we show that these codes can be used for permutation decoding. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.243/Abr225236Assmus, Jr.E.F., Key, D.J., Designs and Their Codes Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics, Vol. 103 (1992) (Second Printing with Corrections, 1993), , Cambridge: Cambridge University PressClapham, C.R.J., A class of self-complementary graphs and lower bounds of some Ramsey numbers (1979) J.

Paley type inequalities for orthogonal series with vector-valued coefficients
No full textWe investigate the extension to Banach-space-valued functions of the classical inequalities due to Paley for the Fourier coefficients with respect to a general orthonormal system Φ. This leads us to introduce the notions of Paley Φ-type and Φ-cotype for a Banach space and some related concepts. We study the relations between these notions of type and cotype and those previously defined. We also analyze how the interpolation spaces inherit these characteristics from the original spaces, and use them to obtain sharp coefficient estimates for functions taking values in Lorentz spaces. © 2001 Akadémiai Kiadó
