A New Universal Approximation Result For Fuzzy Systems, Which Reflects Cnf-Dnf Duality, Irina Perfilieva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

There are two main fuzzy system methodologies for translating expert rules into a logical formula: In Mamdani's methodology, we get a DNF formula (disjunction of conjunctions), and in a methodology which uses logical implications, we get, in effect, a CNF formula (conjunction of disjunctions). For both methodologies, universal approximation results have been proven which produce, for each approximated function f(x), two different approximating relations RDNF(x,y) and RCNF(x,y). Since in fuzzy logic, there is a known relation FCNF(x)<=FDNF(x) between CNF and DNF forms of a propositional formula F, it is reasonable to expect that we would be able to prove the existence of approximations for which a similar relation RCNF(x,y)<=RDNF(x,y) holds. Such existence is proved in our paper.

No Somos Nada: Ethnicity And Three Dominant And Contradictory Indigenist Discourses In Costa Rica, Karen Stocker

Research Papers

According to many scholars, discourse has the capacity to create the nation rather than simply reflect it. By purporting to objectively describe reality, various texts turn into authoritative voices that determine the ways in which readers perceive that reality. In the case of the Chorotega of Costa Rica to be discussed here, three dominant indigenist discourses--historical,legal, and anthropological-- have formed a trinity of contradictory, yet definitive, authoritative voices regarding the description and definition of Costa Rican indigenous peoples. These three discourses simultaneously create an absence and an ambiguous presence of indigenous peoples in Costa Rica, generally, and of the Chorotega, …

The Overseas Refugee Program: Foreign Policy, Public Opinion, And Refugee Policy, Merissa Kandalaft

Student Thesis Honors (1996-2008)

This paper first examines the history of American refugee policy and the origins of the Overseas Refugee Program. An overview of the structure of the program follows, with an example of how it was applied to Iraqi refugees after the Gulf War. Then, I will present the key influences affecting the United States refugee policy: humanitarian concerns, domestic concerns including special interest groups and public opinion, and foreign policy. Next I will present a critique of the current politically motivated system. Finally, I propose suggested reforms including the establishment of an independent board to make annual determinations regarding refugee admissions; …

A Midsummer Night's Dream--A Creole Creation: Directing Shakespeare In A High School Setting, Laurel Renee Kash

Master of Theater Production Graduate Projects

A full-length production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream was rehearsed and performed at Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon. The production was set in New Orleans during Mardi Gras in 1926. Research was conducted on Shakespeare's life, appropriate acting methods, and the play's historical and cultural context including lighting properties, setting, music, and costumes. Design concept statements were developed, the play was produced, and the experience was considered critically, both as an artistic production and as a learning experience.

An Interpretation Of The Significance Of Human Remains From The Caves Of The Southern Maya Lowlands, Sheryl A. Gibbs

KIP Theses and Dissertations

Caves in the Maya area have long been known to contain human remains. Unfortunately, very little has been offered in the way of interpretation. This analysis is aimed at shedding light on the questions surrounding the occurrence of human remains in caves of the Southern Maya lowlands.

Extending The Progress Of The Feminist Movement To Encompass The Rights Of Migrant Farmworker Women, Richard Kamm

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Migrant farmworker women are among the poorest of the working poor. Historically marginalized and disenfranchised by feminists and the legal community, as well as by male farmworker activists, migrant farmworker women continue to be plagued by problems of employment discrimination, workplace sexual harassment, and domestic violence. While some feminist legal scholars have argued that the solution to such problems is to make the feminist movement more inclusive and to move away from taking the experiences of white middle-class women as representative of the experiences of all women, Kamm argues that a better alternative would be to provide migrant farmworker women …

The United Mall Of America: Free Speech, State Constitutions, And The Growing Fortress Of Private Property, Jennifer Niles Coffin

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Scholars have called the shopping mall the modern replacement for the traditional town square, a claim that is supported by both public investment in infrastructure through municipal and state bond issues and by the presence of public services and events in many malls. Mall owners and tenants have exploited this quasi public character by inviting government agencies to become tenants in the malls ("City Hall at the Mall") despite claiming that malls are private property where constitutionally protected freedoms do not apply. After an initial and shortlived ruling that mall visitors do indeed have free speech rights, the Supreme Court …

Accountability And Democracy In The Case Of Using Force Under International Auspices, Charlotte Ku, Harold K. Jacobson

Faculty Scholarship

This presentation derives from a large research project that has been more than three years in progress and reflects the work of a multinational team of lawyers, policy analysts, and political scientists. The project is supported by the Ford Foundation and will conclude at the end of 2000 with the completion of a book that will cover the experience of nine democracies in deploying their military forces under international auspices as this experience relates to two large questions.

The project examines two questions:

• What is the interactive relationship between international commitments and national constitutional and political requirements?
• How does this …

Some Applications Of The Ultrapower Theorem To The Theory Of Compacta, Paul Bankston

Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications

The ultrapower theorem of Keisler and Shelah allows such model-theoretic notions as elementary equivalence, elementary embedding and existential embedding to be couched in the language of categories (limits, morphism diagrams). This in turn allows analogs of these (and related) notions to be transported into unusual settings, chiefly those of Banach spaces and of compacta. Our interest here is the enrichment of the theory of compacta, especially the theory of continua, brought about by the importation of model-theoretic ideas and techniques.
