Marcus on Belief and Belief in the Impossible
No full textI review but don’t endorse Marcus’ arguments that impossible beliefs are impossible. I defend her claim that belief’s objects are, in some important sense, not the bearers of truth and falsity, discuss her dispositionalism about belief, and argue it’s a good fit with the idea that belief’s objects are Russellian states of affairs.
Reviso, pero no suscribo, los argumentos de Marcus a favor de que las creencias imposibles son imposibles.
Defiendo su tesis de que los objetos de las creencias no son, en algún sentido importante, los soportes
de la verdad y la falsedad; discuto su disposicionalismo acerca de las creencias y argumento que encaja bien
con la idea de que los objetos de las creencias son estados de cosas russellianos
Marcus Aurelius
No full textBy John Sellars Author: SELLARS, John. Reader in Philosophy, Royal Holloway University of London Reference: Marcus Aurelius. Abingdon: Routledge, 2020, x + 146 pp., ISBN 9780367146078 In this new study, John Sellars offers a fresh examination of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations as a work of philosophy by placing it against the background of the tradition of Stoic philosophy to which Marcus was committed. The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius is a perennial bestseller, attracting countless..

Modelbaserad reinforcement learning för kort- och långtidsoptimering av carriers
No full textAs the energy demand increases globally along with the demand for cellular traffic, the importance of energy efficient communication networks is ever important. Radio access networks (RANs) only utilize a fraction of their capacity while consuming the majority of the energy in cellular communication. Therefore, sleep mode (SM) optimization has the potential to save a lot of energy. In this thesis, we develop a framework for jointly optimizing short- and long-term sleeping of carriers in a RAN with key performance indicator (KPI)-constraints by iteratively optimizing short-term sleeping locally for each carrier and then the global user association for the network together with the long term sleeping. We develop a local semi-Markov queuing based traffic model over which short-term sleeping can be optimized using entropy-based reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm soft actor-critic (SAC). Additionally we develop an algorithm for adjusting traffic parameters for the local model based on the user-association and simulated traffic data from a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)-compliant simulator. The short-term sleeping policy was able to outperform baseline metrics without violating the KPI-constraint for the evaluated case and the estimated model parameters were able to capture the overall traffic behavior from the simulated traffic data. När energibehovet ökar globalt tillsammans med behovet av ökad celltrafik, blir viken av energieffektiva kommunikationsnät viktigare än någonsin. RAN använder bara en bråkdel av sin kapacitet medan de förbrukar majoriteten av energin vid cellulär kommunikation. Därför har SM-optimeringen potentialen att spara mycket energi. I det här examensarbetet utvecklas vi ett ramverk för gemensam optimering av kort- och longtids-energisparlägen av carriers i ett RAN med KPI-bivillkor genom att iterativt optimera kort-tids SM lokalt för varje carrier och sedan den globala användarfördelningen i nätverket tillsammans med långtids-energisparlägen. Vi utvecklas en semi-Markov köbaserad modell över vilken kort-tids SM kan optimieras med en entropibaserad RL-algoritm SAC. Vidare utvecklas vi en algoritm för att anpassa trafik-parametrar för den lokala modellen baserat på användarfördelningen och simularad traffikdata från en simulator med 3GPP-standard. Korttids sleep-polycin överträffar baseline lösningar medan den uppfyllde KPI-bivillkoren för de evaluerade fallet och de estimerade modellparametrarna kunde efterlikna det typiska beteendet från den simulerade traffikdatan.
Stanley Marcus
No full textStanley Marcus (April 20, 1905 – January 22, 2002) was an early president (1950–1972) and later chairman of the board (1972–1976) of the luxury retailer Neiman Marcus in Dallas, Texas, which his father and aunt had founded in 1907. During his tenure at the company, he also became a published author, writing his memoir Minding the Store and also a regular column in The Dallas Morning News. Awards- the Chevalier Award from the French Legion of Honor listed in the Houston Chronicle\u27s list of the 100 most important Texans. He was named by Harvard Business School among the greatest American Business Leaders of the 20th century.https://nsuworks.nova.edu/nsudigital_forums/1086/thumbnail.jp
Virilization and Enlarged Ovaries in a Postmenopausal Woman
No full textA patient with postmenopausal bleeding and virilization was found to have bilaterally enlarged ovaries with a yellow cut surface. Histology revealed cortical stromal hyperplasia with stromal hyperthecosis. This hyperplastic condition should not be mistaken for an ovarian neoplasm.Peer reviewe
