Cost-Benefit Analysis of Climate Change: Stern Revisited
No full textThis paper explores the challenges facing orthodox economic approaches to assessing climate control as if it were appraisal of an investment project. Serious flaws are noted in the work of economists with especial attention to the UK Government report by Stern and colleagues. The opinions expressed in this paper are those of the authors and may not be taken to reflect the views CSIRO or the Australian Government.enhanced greenhouse effect, global CBA, Stern Report

Reducibility and irreducibility of Stern -polynomials
No full textsummary:The classical Stern sequence was extended by K.B. Stolarsky and the first author to the Stern polynomials defined by , , , and ; these polynomials are Newman polynomials, i.e., they have only 0 and 1 as coefficients. In this paper we prove numerous reducibility and irreducibility properties of these polynomials, and we show that cyclotomic polynomials play an important role as factors. We also prove several related results, such as the fact that can only have simple zeros, and we state a few conjectures

(1)‐Yang–Mills–Higgs energies to the (n−2)‐area functional
No full textGiven a hermitian line bundle L on a closed Riemannian manifold (M, g), the self-dual Yang-Mills-Higgs energies are a natural family of functionals defined for couples consisting of a section and a hermitian connection. While the critical points of these functionals have been well-studied in dimension two by the gauge theory community, it was shown by Pigati-Stern that critical points in higher dimension converge (in an appropriate sense) to minimal submanifolds of codimension two, with strong parallels to the correspondence between the Allen-Cahn equations and minimal hypersurfaces. In this paper, we complement this idea by showing the Gamma-convergence of these energies to (a multiple of) the codimension two area: more precisely, given a family of couples with bounded energy, we prove that a suitable gauge invariant Jacobian converges to an integral cycle, in the homology class dual to the Euler class, with mass bounded by (the liminf of) the energy. We also obtain a recovery sequence, for any integral cycle in this homology class. Finally, we apply these techniques to compare min-max values for the (n-2)-area from the Almgren-Pitts theory with those obtained from the Yang-Mills-Higgs framework, showing that the former values always provide a lower bound for the latter. As an ingredient, we also establish a Huisken-type monotonicity result along the gradient flow of the energy

Likelihood inference for small variance components
No full textIn this paper, we develop likelihood-based methods for making inferences about the components of variance in a general normal mixed linear model. In particular, we use local asymptotic approximations to construct confidence intervals for the components of variance when the components are close to the boundary of the parameter space. In the process, we explore the question of how to profile the restricted likelihood (REML), show that general REML estimates have a lower probability of being on the boundary than maximum likelihood estimates, and show that the likelihood-ratio test based on the local asymptotic approximation has higher power against local alternatives than the likelihood-ratio test based on the usual chi-squared approximation. We explore the finite sample properties of the proposed intervals by means of a small simulation study

Thinking Intersubjectivity in Daniel N. Stern\u27s work / Σκέψεις πάνω στη Διυποκειμενικότητα στο έργο του Daniel N. Stern
No full textThis paper pays witness to a modest attempt to discuss critically Daniel N. Stern\u27s elaboration of the concept of intersubjectivity. Stern introduces this concept in the context of his theory for the development of the four senses of the self in infancy, and continues to rework it throughout his work, giving to it an ontological significance for the whole process of development and subjectification. Intersubjectivity is discussed by Stern intensively through the condition of affect attunement, which seems to be for him its prototypical form. During the discussion of affect attunement and the development of the concept of vitality affects, an attempt will be made to point to the vagueness and certain contradictions of their meaning. A few propositions will be presented, through the use of concepts from Gilbert Simondon, William James and others in order to clarify Stern\u27s valuable ideas and to extend them speculatively in new directions.
Στόχος του κειμένου αυτού είναι η κριτική διαπραγμάτευση της έννοιας της διυποκειμενικότητας στο έργο του Daniel N. Stern. Ο Stern εισάγει την έννοια της διυποκειμενικότητας στο πλαίσιο της αναπτυξιακής του θεωρίας για την ανάδυση των αισθήσεων του εαυτού στην βρεφική ηλικία και συνεχίζει να την επεξεργάζεται σε όλη την πορεία του έργου του, προσδίδοντάς της μια οντολογική βαρύτητα για την ίδια την δυνατότητα της ανάπτυξης και της υποκειμενο-ποίησης. Μέσα από την παρουσίαση και ανάλυση του έργου του Daniel Stern διαφαίνεται ότι η έννοια της διυποκειμενικότητας μεταβάλλεται σημαντικά, από ένα τρόπο οργάνωσης των σχέσεων, στο πλαίσιο της ανάδυσης του υποκειμενικού εαυτού, σε ένα εγγενές κατηγόρημα της ανθρώπινης υπόστασης που διαπερνά κάθε πλευρά της ζωής του και μεταβάλλεται ανάλογα. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίνεται στην διαπραγμάτευση της διυποκειμενικότητας στο πλαίσιο της συγκινησιακής εναρμόνισης, η οποία αποτελεί για τον Stern την πρωτογενή μορφή διυποκειμενικής σχέσης. Στο κεφάλαιο της Συζήτησης επισημαίνονται ορισμένες ασάφειες και αντιφάσεις στον τρόπο που ο Stern αντιλαμβάνεται την έννοια της υποκειμενικότητας και διατυπώνονται προτάσεις επίλυσής τους μέσα από τη συγκριτική αντιπαράθεση με τις θεωρίες των Gilbert Simondon και William James
