Infrared astronomy: seeing the heat : from William Herschel to the Herschel space observatory
No full textUncover the Secrets of the Universe Hidden at Wavelengths beyond Our Optical GazeWilliam Herschel's discovery of infrared light in 1800 led to the development of astronomy at wavelengths other than the optical. Infrared Astronomy - Seeing the Heat: from William Herschel to the Herschel Space Observatory explores the work in astronomy that relies on observations in the infrared. Author David L. Clements, a distinguished academic and science fiction writer, delves into how the universe works, from the planets in our own Solar System to the universe as a whole.

Quand la burqa passe à l'Ouest : enjeux éthiques, politiques et juridiques
No full textLe voile intégral est un bout de tissu à double épaisseur - culturelle et religieuse - qui suscite l’émoi et interroge la capacité des démocraties libérales à trouver des solutions juridiques et politiques légitimes et efficaces face à l’expression de convictions en porte-à faux avec les valeurs de la majorité. Quelle place accorder aux droits fondamentaux face à la radicalisation de certaines pratiques religieuses ? Le port du voile intégral nécessite-il des législations d’exception ? Comment concilier la spécificité d’une identité culturelle partagée par tous avec la diversité des authenticités qui se rencontrent dans la sphère publique ?Publié avec le soutien de la Chaire de recherche sur les religions en modernité avancée de l’université de Sherbrooke et du projet ReligioWest, financé par le European Research Council.-- David Koussens et Olivier Roy : Introduction : pour en finir avec la « burqa » ? 7

Forecasting economic time series
No full textAnalyzes the models, procedures, and measures of economic forecasting with a view to improving forecasting practices. This volume sets the scene by focusing on forecasting when the underlying process can be described by a stationary representation. A companion volume, Zeuthen Lectures on Economic Forecasting will discuss forecasting in the presence of deterministic nonstationarities. Provides an introduction to forecasting. Discusses first principles; forecasting in univariate processes; Monte Carlo simulation techniques; forecasting in cointegrated systems; forecasting with large-scale macroeconometric models; the value of intercept corrections; forecasting using leading indicators; combining forecasts; multistep estimation; the value of imposing parsimony; and testing forecast accuracy. Sets out recommendations for forecasting practice. Clements is Research Fellow in Economics at the University of Warwick.

Forecasting non-stationary economic time series
No full textAddresses the problems confronting forecasting in economies subject to structural breaks. Discusses economic forecasting and provides a taxonomy of the sources of forecast failure. Explores the role of unmodeled shifts in parameters as a source of misprediction and considers other potential sources of forecast failure, such as model misspecification, parameter estimation uncertainty, a lack of parsimony in model selection, and forecast origin mismeasurement. Analyzes the likely effects of each source of forecast failure via Monte Carlo simulation and empirical examples. Investigates analytically whether time-series models in differences can outperform econometric models in forecasting when a structural break has occurred. Evaluates whether intercept corrections help to robustify forecasts in the face of change. Illustrates the effects of structural breaks and the performance of the various forecasting strategies in a model of consumer expenditure in the United Kingdom and in a model of U.K. money demand. Addresses the removal of deterministic shifts in systems of equations using linear combinations of variables. Considers the forecasting performance of some regime-switching autoregressive models relative to linear autoregressive alternatives. Illustrates a number of the forecasting approaches in a model of wages, prices, and unemployment. Clements is Research Fellow in Economics at the University of Warwick.

The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.
No full textPhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and
works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author.
The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of
writing and reading.
Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties
by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work
of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and
the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness
toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two
distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar
and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and
on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The
dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to
appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well
as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive
to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers
by inventing new forms.
The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career,
followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of
reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies
she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary
method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading
of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It
is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation
as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably
reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of
inventiveness and familiarity
