Some thoughts on Boris Eldagsen’s Image, well ‘photograph’, an AI generated image.

Review of the literature on pictograph sites in the Canadian Shield with specific reference to those found in the Lake of the Woods, in north-western Ontario, Canada.

The authors realise that discussions of images and image processing inveterately conceptualise representation as being flat, static, and finite.

As part of our larger sequence of active-learning-based lesson plans designed to…[Read more]

In this essay, we share how a small, independent, academic open access (OA) press, punctum books, has survived and can maybe thrive financially, but also in terms of human quality of life dividends, in the very precarious landscape of making and funding open books.

South African universities’ use of digital technologies in learning has increased in recent years. Given that

Glossing was an important element of medieval western manuscript culture. However, glosses are notoriously difficult to analyze because of their triviality, fluid nature, heterogeneity of origin, complex transmission histories, and anonymity. Traditional scholarly approaches such as close reading and the genealogical method often do not produce…[Read more]

The structure of a Binary Return Note is similar to the one of a regular note, but the coupons are
contingent on return rates on stocks. Quasi-Monte Carlo simulation is used for pricing the product.
