What Counts as Desiring the Actual Good?
… that make actions bad or wrong. Call accounts of this kind actual good (AG) accounts. A number of considerations count in favor of AG accounts. As noted, they do an excellent job of accommodating several intuitively plausible observations about character and moral worth. They are also …

Some Models for Time Series of Counts
… of the existing models for time series of counts assume that the observations follow a Poisson distribution conditional on an accompanying intensity process that drives the serial dynamics of the model. According to whether the evolution of the intensity process depends on the observations …

Scalable Surrogates for Counts and Computer Experiments
… Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX), recording counts of heliospheric energetic neutral atoms (ENAs), exhibit a phenomenon that has caused space scientists to revise hypotheses about the physical processes, and computer simulations under those models, that are in play at the boundary of our …

Beaver Dams, Spider Webs, and the Sticky Wicket: An Investigation On What Counts as Technology and What Counts as Knowledge
Philosophers of technology have often considered only the tools and processes used and conducted by humans, but natural structures and man-made structures are not always easily discernable from one another. The complexity of a spider web is not matched by many human-made technologies. Beaver dams, …

Cruelty Counts: Anti-Asian Violence and its Queer Afterlives
This dissertation examines the afterlives of violence in queer Asian/American and diasporic visual and performance culture. As a broad response to the conjuncture of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the renewed attention to anti-Asian violence, this project rethinks violence beyond its familiar terms …

Model-based clustering for multivariate time series of counts
… and multivariate zero-inflated time series of counts and applies the models in a clustering scheme to identify groups of count series with similar behavior. The basic modeling framework used is observation-driven Poisson regression with generalized linear model (GLM) structure. The …

Every Frame Counts: Creative Practice and Gender in Direct Animation
This thesis interrogates the ways in which the body-centred practices of women film artists embrace the materiality of direct animation in order to foreground gendered, subjective positions. Through the researcher's own creative practice, it investigates how this mode of film-making, in which the …

Improving the Use of Migration Counts for Wildlife Population Monitoring
Counts of migrating animals are used to monitor populations, particularly for species that are not well sampled by breeding and wintering surveys. The use of migration counts for population monitoring relies on the assumptions that new individuals are detected each day, and that probability of …

Context counts : leading educational reform in New Zealand secondary schools
… Hermeneutic reading of these rich qualitative accounts of lived experience suggests that, far from being detached observers, leaders both embody and are embedded in context. This exposes the shortcomings of literature that dichotomises the two and makes Bourdieu’s lens on practice as a temporal, …

Double trouble: Predicting new variant counts across two heterogeneous populations
Collecting genomics data across multiple heterogeneous populations (e.g., across different cancer types) has the potential to improve our understanding of disease. Despite sequencing advances, though, resources often remain a constraint when gathering data. So it would be useful for experimental …

Deer behavior as it effects sex and age ratio counts
… left available to the counter was to conduct counts during the months when counts were most representative of the sex ratio and various age classes. The best month for making a sex-ratio count was November. The best combination of months for change in ratio estimation of population size was …

Food Habits and Placental Scar Counts of Bobcats in South Dakota
… (Lynx rufus) food habits and placental scar counts were investigated in western South Dakota during 1978-79 and 1979-80 trapping and hunting seasons. Food habits were recorded by frequency of occurrence and placental scar counts were used to determine litter size for South Dakota bobcats. …

Relationships between somatic cell counts and milk production in dairy cattle
… milk yield declined more rapidly as somatic cell counts increased from 50 X 10³ through 300 X 10³ cells per ml compared to daily milk decline as somatic cell counts rose from 400 X 10³ through 1,200 X 10³ cells per ml. Daily milk yield declined at a slower rate at somatic cell levels above 400 X …

Undocumented migration, the fourteenth amendment and the enduring battle over who counts
<p>Decolonisation, the end of the Cold War, the break-up of the Soviet Union, the violent dismantling of Yugoslavia, and the formation of the European Union are all events that represent the shifting relationship between states and people and between states themselves. The changing structure of …
