Derecho, planes y racionalidad práctica
2015
There is, according to many contemporary jurisprudential theories, a tight relationship between law and practical rationality: the law gives us, or at least it purports to give us, reasons for action. In his book, Legality (2011), Scott J. Shapiro puts forward what at first glance appears to be a new view in this vein. Shapiro calls it the “Planning Theory” of law; it provides an account of what the law is in terms of a particular kind of reasons: plans (a notion moulded, in his work in the philosophy of action, by Michael E. Bratman). In this paper, I provide a reconstruction of the Planning Theory as a view of the relationships between law and practical rationality, and I point to some fu…
Towards Axiomatic Basis of Inductive Inference
2001
The language for the formulation of the interesting statements is, of course, most important. We use first order predicate logic. Our main achievement in this paper is an axiom system which we believe to be more powerful than any other natural general purpose discovery axiom system. We prove soundness of this axiom system in this paper. Additionally we prove that if we remove some of the requirements used in our axiom system, the system becomes not sound. We characterize the complexity of the quantifier prefix which guaranties provability of a true formula via our system. We prove also that if a true formula contains only monadic predicates, our axiom system is capable to prove this formula…
Patskaņu izrunas īpatnības skotu angļu valodā (korpusā SCOTS)
2018
Skotijas vēsture un pašreizējie apstākļi ir multilingvāli un tur lietotā angļu valoda atšķiras no citur lietotajām angļu valodas paveidiem ar tās izrunas modeli. Šī darba mērķis ir patskaņu izpēte skotu standarta angļu valodā, lai raksturotu tās patskaņu sistēmu salīdzinājumā ar standarta britu angļu valodu un novērotu kādas iespējamās līdzības. Šī mērķa sasniegšanai izmantotā metode ir patskaņu formantu akustiskā kvantitatīvā analīze, kurai paraugi ņemti no Skotu Tekstu un Runas Korpusa (Scottish Corpus of Texts&Speech). Pētījuma rezultāti atklāj, ka skotu angļu valodas lietotājiem ir atšķirīgi patskaņu inventāri un patskaņu artikulācijas veids var atšķirties starp dažādām lietotāju grupām…
Genetic parameters for early lamb survival and growth in Scottish Blackface sheep1
2008
The objectives of this study were 1) to estimate the heritability of lamb survival and growth in the Scottish Blackface breed; 2) to examine the relationship between lamb survival and live BW; and 3) to investigate the possibility of using lamb survival in a breeding program for this breed. The data used for the analyses contained information about survival and live BW at different ages on 4,459 animals. The records were collected from 1988 to 2003 in a Scottish Blackface flock. Live BW was recorded every 4 wk from birth to 24 wk. Survival was defined either by perinatal or postnatal mortality (up to weaning at 12 wk), or as cumulative survival to 1, 4, 8, and 12 wk. The pedigree file compr…
Modélisation de scènes agronomiques pour tester et comparer les performances d'algorithmes de discrimination d'adventices
2007
International audience; Dans le cadre de l’agriculture de précision, l’imagerie s’avère être de plus en plus utilisée commeoutil d’aide à la décision pour une gestion spécifique des intrants dans des parcelles cultivées.Dans ce contexte, nous présentons une modélisation de scènes agronomiques afin d’évaluer etde comparer la précision et la robustesse d’algorithmes de discrimination culture/adventices. Lamodélisation de ces images se décompose en deux parties : la première consiste en la modéli-sation d’une parcelle cultivée en simulant la distribution spatiale des plantes (culture et mauvai-ses herbes), la seconde a pour but de projeter le résultat obtenu à travers un capteur optiquepour si…

‘Scottish Eccentrics’: Hugh MacDiarmid and the Scottish Isles
2017
International audience; Hugh MacDiarmid is probably the poet who did the most to defend Scotland’s difference in the 20th century. Born in the Borders, he was acutely aware of the need to distinguish Scottish culture, language and tradition from her southern neighbour’s. Even if MacDiarmid is well known for his use of Scots in the 1920s, his English prose and poetic works in the 1930s were also aimed at asserting the distinctiveness of Scotland vis-à-vis England, especially when the poet chose the Scottish Isles as a subject-matter. Analysing the book-length essay The Islands of Scotland (1939) and the island poems written in the Thirties, this paper will examine the paradoxical strategies …

Hugh MacDiarmid’s Typescript ‘Hugh MacDiarmid and the Scottish Landscape, by Valda Trevlyn’ : Landscape as Sign
2013
International audience; In a 1911 letter, the young Hugh MacDiarmid told his professor, George Ogilvie, of his love of mountaineering: “I am constantly crossing mountains, by unutterably rocky tracks”, foretelling his life-long fascination for the Scottish landscape. MacDiarmid’s nationalist use of the Scottish scenery has already been much commented upon. However, we would like to introduce an unpublished typescript entitled “Hugh MacDiarmid and the Scottish Landscape, by Valda Trevlyn” . The text was undoubtedly written by MacDiarmid himself, not by his wife, Valda, in 1939. Projected as “a study of the descriptive elements” of his “vision of Scotland”, this chaotic prose work mostly cons…
