A Smithian Political Economy Approach for the Competition Law of the 21st Century
This study aims to show how a Smithian political economy approach could assist competition law in addressing the challenges of the 21st‐century economy. We revisit Smith's Wealth of Nations to provide a more nuanced understanding of his views, contrasting them with the prevailing libertarian interpretation called here ‘Chicago Smith’.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will implement a devoted weak gravitational lensing program with its High Latitude Wide Area Survey. For cosmological purposes, a critical step in Roman image processing is to combine dithered undersampled images ...

Delensing for precision cosmology: optimizing future CMB B-mode surveys to constrain r
The detection of primordial B-modes, a key probe of cosmic inflation, is increasingly challenged by contamination from weak gravitational lensing B-modes induced by large-scale structure (LSS).

Bayesian analysis of weak gravitational lensing
This thesis is concerned with how to extract cosmological information from observations of weak gravitational lensing – the modification of observed galaxy images due to gravitational lensing by the large-scale structure of the Universe. Firstly, we are concerned with how we can use all possible observa- tional probes of weak lensing to squeeze out as ...

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: An Offensive Realist Reconsideration of Philippine Grand Strategy
ABSTRACT In regions riddled with heightened security tensions from great power competition like Southeast Asia, why do states like the Philippines defy conventional rationality and hedge against their treaty ally? This paper seeks to answer this gap in the literature by arguing for a new definition of hedging that covers contemporary cases.

A Scalable Gaussian Process Approach to Shear Mapping with MuyGPs
Analysis of cosmic shear is an integral part of understanding structure growth across cosmic time, which in turn provides us with information about the nature of dark energy.

Alternative estimators for weak gravitational lensing [PDF]
Weak gravitational lensing provides a means to measure the total mass in the Universe. The incoming light from distant galaxies is disturbed by the inhomogeneity of the dark matter distribution along the line of sight. The correlations of shape in an observed galaxy population can be used to probe the total mass density fluctuations in the Universe ...

Godfrey Bingley was a British industrialist who took up geology, photography and travel in the 1880s. His photographs are housed at the University of Leeds, where he worked with its Chair of Geology. This article analyses the archive's projection of the imperial geological imaginary that emanated from Britain and extended to the Americas.

ABSTRACT Land markets are an increasingly significant byproduct of industrialisation in neoliberal India, but accumulation possibilities for rural classes through speculation are uneven. Trajectories through rents are determined not just by the social relations in impacted villages but crucially by the historically determined dynamics of the wider ...
