Discipline by Mary Brunton Discipline the second novel by the Scottish writer Mary Brunton (1778-1818) was published in 1814. While less well known than its predecessor Self-Control (1811) it is nonetheless equally deserving of a central place in the canon of Romantic-era fiction. A wide-ranging novel it shares many themes with contemporary fiction such as women’s difficulties in earning money and the horror of being falsely imprisoned in an insane asylum. However it is Discipline’s innovative attempt at psychological realism that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Through the moral growth of its heroine Ellen Percy Discipline insists on women’s self-determination and their ability to become rational agents in a world that treats them as objects merely of desire or contempt. This edition is edited by Olivia Murphy who has added careful editorial notes and an insightful new introduction to the text. | Discipline by Mary Brunton GBP 125.00 1

United States has been overruled in the court of history; Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association (2018) in which Justice Alito’s majority opinion provides the most compelling argument to date against federal commandeering of state officials; and Sveen v. Melin (2018) a Contract Clause case that shows the Court’s continuing refusal to give a textualist reading of that provision even in the face of Justice Gorsuch’s compelling and amusing dissent.

Introduction to Stochastic Level Crossing Techniques Introduction to Stochastic Level Crossing Techniques describes stochastic models and their analysis using the System Point Level Crossing method (abbreviated SPLC or LC). This involves deriving probability density functions (pdfs) or cumulative probability distribution functions (cdfs) of key random variables applying simple level-crossing limit theorems developed by the author. The pdfs and/or cdfs are used to specify operational characteristics about the stochastic model of interest. The chapters describe distinct stochastic models and associated key random variables in the models. For each model a figure of a typical sample path (realization i. e. tracing over time) of the key random variable is displayed. For each model an analytic (Volterra) integral equation for the stationary pdf of the key random variable is created−by inspection of the sample path using the simple LC limit theorems. This LC method bypasses a great deal of algebra usually required by other methods of analysis. The integral equations will be solved directly or computationally. This book is meant for students of mathematics management science engineering natural sciences and researchers who use applied probability. It will also be useful to technical workers in a range of professions. Key Features: A description of one representative stochastic model (e. g. a single-server M/G/1 queue; a multiple server M/M/c queue; an inventory system; etc. ) Construction of a typical sample path of the key random variable of interest (e. g. the virtual waiting time or workload in queues; the net on-hand inventory in inventory systems; etc. ) Statements of the simple LC theorems which connect the sample-path upcrossing and downcrossing rates across state-space levels to simple mathematical functions of the stationary pdf of the key random variable at those state-space levels Creation of (usually Volterra) integral equations for the stationary pdf of the key random variable by inspection of the sample path Direct analytic solution of the integral equations where feasible; or computational solutions of the integral equations Use of the derived stationary pdfs for obtaining operational characteristics of the model GBP 120.00 1
