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

Solidarity with the powerful? Fieldwork and Ethnography with Elites

Anthropologists have a long history talking about what we should do when we research less powerful or subordinate groups. We build rapport, we give them voice, we describe their world to others, we show their problems and their solutions. We have a kind of solidarity with them. But more of us are now researching groups with autonomous resources and power. I myself have been with NGO elites, planne

Taube och Olle Adolphson

Adolphson has grown up in the shadows (and light) of Evert Taube litterarily since he from childhood been a friend of Evert Taubes son Sven Bertil. 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

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

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
