Philosophy, Rhetoric, and Sophistry in the High Roman Empire

Maximus of Tyre and Twelve Other Intellectuals

By: Jeroen Lauwers

How is it possible that modern scholars have labelled Maximus of Tyre, a second-century CE performer of philosophical orations, as a sophist or a ‘half-philosopher’, while his own self-presentation is that of a genuine philosopher? If we take Maximus’ claim to philosophical authority seriously, his case can deepen our understanding of the dynamic nature of Imperial philosophy. Through a discursive analysis of twelve Imperial intellectuals alongside Maximus’ dialexeis, the author proposes an interpretative framework to assess the purpose behind the representation of philosophy, rhetoric, and sophistry in Maximus’ oeuvre. This is thus as yet the first book-length attempt at situating the historical communication process implicit in the surviving Maximean texts in the concurrent context of the Imperial intellectual world.

Cognitive, Social, and Individual Constraints on Linguistic Variation

A Case Study of Presentational 'Haber' Pluralization in Caribbean Spanish

By: Jeroen Claes

The present volume tries to answer the question: What constrains morphosyntactic variation? By analyzing the variable agreement of presentational haber (‘there to be’) in Caribbean Spanish with advanced statistical tools and theoretical constructs of Cognitive Sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and variationist sociolinguistics, it proposes an innovative theoretical model of the constraints that govern morphosyntactic variation.

Literacy in Everyday Life

Reading and Writing in Early Modern Dutch Diaries

By: Jeroen Blaak

Until recently, historians of reading have concentrated on book ownership and trying to map out a history of who read what. The reading experience has been a subject more difficult to research. As has been pointed out before, egodocuments can be valuable sources in this case. Following this lead, Literacy in Everyday Life focuses upon four early modern Dutch diaries in which readers document their daily life and in which they recount their reading. In the analysis, other ways in which these four readers communicated are also addressed, especially speech and writing. This book therefore provides an insight into the possible uses of literacy and the interaction between the printed, written and spoken word in the early modern Dutch Republic.

Matching Properties of Deep Sub-Micron MOS Transistors

By: Jeroen A. Croon,Willy M Sansen,Herman E. Maes

Matching Properties of Deep Sub-Micron MOS Transistors examines this interesting phenomenon. Microscopic fluctuations cause stochastic parameter fluctuations that affect the accuracy of the MOSFET. For analog circuits this determines the trade-off between speed, power, accuracy and yield. Furthermore, due to the down-scaling of device dimensions, transistor mismatch has an increasing impact on digital circuits. The matching properties of MOSFETs are studied at several levels of abstraction: A simple and physics-based model is presented that accurately describes the mismatch in the drain current. The model is illustrated by dimensioning the unit current cell of a current-steering D/A converter. The most commonly used methods to extract the matching properties of a technology are bench-marked with respect to model accuracy, measurement accuracy and speed, and physical contents of the extracted parameters. The physical origins of microscopic fluctuations and how they affect MOSFET operation are investigated. This leads to a refinement of the generally applied 1/area law. In addition, the analysis of simple transistor models highlights the physical mechanisms that dominate the fluctuations in the drain current and transconductance. The impact of process parameters on the matching properties is discussed. The impact of gate line-edge roughness is investigated, which is considered to be one of the roadblocks to the further down-scaling of the MOS transistor. Matching Properties of Deep Sub-Micron MOS Transistors is aimed at device physicists, characterization engineers, technology designers, circuit designers, or anybody else interested in the stochastic properties of the MOSFET.

Havana

By: Jeroen Guliker

De ontreddering herhaalde zich. Drie, vier keer kaatsten haar hulpkreten tegen de betonnen muren voordat ze door de stilte werden opgeslokt. Ze veegde de tranen van haar gezicht en probeerde opnieuw de wanhoop uit haar lijf te schreeuwen. 'Laat me gaan! Maak me los!' Hannahs leven lijkt in balans wanneer de machtige en in kunstkringen gevreesde Simon Salomons haar schildertalent ontdekt. Haar carrière raakt in een stroomversnelling, maar de zoete smaak van het succes verbittert op slag als Hannah na het plotselinge overlijden van haar moeder noodgedwongen terugkeert naar haar geboortedorp, het strenggereformeerde Duinwijck. Haar terugkeer ontgrendelt deuren die ze jarenlang angstvallig heeft dichtgehouden. Tegen wil en dank wordt ze geconfronteerd met de leugens, trauma's en duistere mysteries uit haar verleden. Hannah zou het dorp het liefst zo snel mogelijk weer de rug toekeren, maar haar obsessies en seksuele fantasieën schreeuwen om verklaringen. Haar zoektocht naar antwoorden leidt via een reeks huiveringwekkende ontdekkingen naar een bloedstollende ontknoping. Welke geheimen houden zich schuil achter de duinen van Hannahs geboortedorp? Wat is er drie decennia geleden werkelijk in Duinwijck gebeurd?
