On the Bijectivity of Thin-plate Splines

The thin-plate spline (TPS) has been widely used in a number of areas such as image warping, shape analysis and scattered data interpolation. Introduced by Bookstein[1], it is a natural interpolating function in two dimensions, parameterized by a finite numb er of landmarks. However, even though the thin-plate spline has a very elegant intuitive interpretation as well as mathematical formulation i

Non-Cognitivism and Validity

In this paper I defend against a certain objection the view that it is possible to account for validity and kindred notions for moral language within a non-cognitivist framework by appeal to the descriptive meaning of moral terms. The objection is that such an account leads to an asymmetry in the accounts it offers for synonymy in different contexts; in certain contexts it holds that sameness of m

Taube och Olle Adolphson

He has gone deep into the songs and poetry of Evert Taube. This study focuses on the phychological impact Adolphson inherited from Taube as well as the darker sides of the personality

Why explanations? Fundamental, and less fundamental ways of understanding the world

Abstract. My main claim is that explanations are fundamentally about relations between concepts and not, for example, essentially requiring laws, causes, or particular initial conditions. Nor is their linguistic form essential. I begin by showing that this approach solves some well-known old problems and then proceeds to argue my case using heuristic analogies with mathematical proofs. I find that

Knowledge and Survival in the Novels of Thomas Hardy

Abstract This thesis identifies two different kinds of knowledge in Thomas Hardy's novels: the everyday, passed on from generation to generation, which is non-academic and closely bound to the local environment and its traditions; and the specialised, recorded in the printed word, which is the product of formal education and independent of the local community and its traditions. These two kinds o
