21A.112 Seminar in Ethnography and Fieldwork, Fall 2003 by Silbey, Susan S.

“…We will move from an overview of ethnography, to getting into the field, to writing fieldnotes, to analyzing data and writing a short ethnographic piece. We will, as you must in doing fieldwork and writing ethnographies, intersperse reading with fieldwork to theoretically inform both the fieldwork and the writing. …”

On strong semismoothness and superlinear convergence of complementarity problems over homogeneous cones by Nguyen, Hai Ha

“…Especially, for the class of symmetric cones, beside defi ning the symmetric cone via using the concept of homogeneous cone, we also introduce the closely related concepts like Euclidean Jordan algebra, Jordan frame, Pierce decomposition, etc. In the last section of this chapter, we take a glance over the main contributions, discussed in Chapers 2 and Chapter 3. …”

A Trajectory Piecewise-Linear Approach to Model Order Reduction and Fast Simulation of Nonlinear Circuits and Micromachined Devices by RewieÅ ski, MichaÅ

“…In this paper we present an approach to the nonlinear model reduction based on representing the nonlinear system with a piecewise-linear system and then reducing each of the pieces with a Krylov projection. However, rather than approximating the individual components to make a system with exponentially many different linear regions, we instead generate a small set of linearizations about the state trajectory which is the response to a 'training input'. …”
