The staples thesis is a theory of Canada Canadian economic development . The theory has its origins in research into Canadian social, political, and economic history carried out in Canadian universities by members of what were then known as departments of political economy. From these groups of researchers, the two most prominent scholars following this approach were Harold Innis and William Archibald Mackintosh W.A. Mackintosh . ref cite book last Ramesh first Michael Howlett Alex Netherton M. title The political economy of Canada an introduction year 1999 publisher Oxford Univ. Press location Don Mills, Ontario u.a. isbn 978 0 19 541348 9 edition 2. ed. ref During the 1990s, it was revived by Daniel Drache through his work on resource capitalism and Canadian political economy. Innis argued that Canada developed as it did because of the nature of its staple commodities raw materials, such as fish, fur, lumber, agricultural products and minerals, that were exported to Europe . This trading link cemented Canada s cultural links to Europe. The search for and exploitation of these staples led to the creation of institutions that defined the political culture of the nation and its regions. Innis argues that different staples led to the emergence of regional economies and societies within Canada. For instance, the staple commodity in Atlantic Canada was cod . This industry was very decentralized, but also very co operative. In western Canada the central staple was wheat . Wheat farming was a very independent venture, which led to a history of distrust of government and corporations in that part of the country. Also important, however, were the shocks caused by volatility in the market for wheat and by the weather itself on the growing season.

The Zilsel thesis in the history of science history and philosophy of science philosophy of science proposes an explanation for why modern science emerged in the early 17th century in Western Europe and not in other places or eras. Edgar Zilsel claims that science only emerged when capitalism emerged in Western Society because The whole process was imbedded in the advance of early capitalistic society, which weakened collective mindedness, magical thinking, and belief in authority and which furthered causal rational and quantitative thinking. Zilsel 2003, 7 This created an environment in which two previously separated social groups could come into contact. These were the academically trained rational thinkers who were always members of the upper classes and what Zilsel calls superior craftsmen . The academics possessed methodical intellectual training but not practical skills while the craftsmen were skilled in experimentation and causal research but lacked the methodical rational approach acquired from study of the classics. Zilsel supports his argument with a case study of William Gilbert astronomer William Gilbert who, in 1600 and five years before Francis Bacon s http www.gutenberg.org etext 5500 The Advancement of Learning , published the first printed book on magnetism written by an academically trained scholar based almost entirely on actual observation and experiment. Gilbert rejected authority when it differed from observation and rejected superstitious explanations for physical phenomena.

The Frontier Thesis or Turner Thesis , is the argument advanced by historian Frederick Jackson Turner in 1893 that the origin of the distinctive egalitarian, democratic, aggressive, and innovative features of the American character has been the American frontier experience. He stressed the process the moving frontier line and the impact it had on pioneers going through the process. In the thesis, the frontier established liberty by releasing Americans from European mind sets and ending prior customs of the 19th century. Turner first announced his thesis in a paper entitled The Significance of the Frontier in American History , delivered to the American Historical Association in 1893 in Chicago. Other historians had begun to explore the meaning of the frontier, such as Theodore Roosevelt Historian Theodore Roosevelt , who had a different theory. Roosevelt argued that the battles between the trans Appalachian pioneers and the Indians in the Winning of the West had forged a new people, the American race. ref Richard Slotkin, Nostalgia and Progress Theodore Roosevelt s Myth of the Frontier, American Quarterly 1981 33 5 pp. 608 637 http www.jstor.org stable 2712805 in JSTOR ref Evolution Turner set up an evolutionary model he had studied evolution with a leading geologist, Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin , using the time dimension of American history, and the geographical space of the land ... as the source of America s innovation and democratic ideals was disappearing.

In number theory , Tate s thesis is the 1950 thesis of harvs txt first John last Tate year 1950 authorlink John Tate under supervision of Emil Artin . In it he used a translation invariant integration on the locally compact group of ideles to lift the zeta function of a number field, twisted by a Hecke character, to a zeta integral and study its properties. Using harmonic analysis , more precisely the summation formula, he proved the functional equation and meromorphic continuation of the zeta integral and the twisted zeta function. He also located the poles of the twisted zeta function. His work can be viewed as an elegant and powerful reformulation of a work of Erich Hecke on the proof of the functional equation of the twisted zeta function L function . Hecke used a generalized theta series associated to an algebraic number field and a lattice in its ring of integers. Kenkichi Iwasawa independently discovered during the war essentially the same method without an analog of the local theory in Tate s thesis and announced it in his 1950 ICM paper and his letter to Dieudonne written in 1952. Hence this theory is often called Iwasawa Tate theory . Iwasawa in his letter to Dieudonne derived on several pages not only the meromorphic continuation and functional equation of the L function, he also proved finiteness of the class number and Dirichlet s theorem on units as immediate byproducts of the main computation. The theory in positive characteristic was developed one decade earlier by Witt, Schmid and Teichmuller. Iwasawa Tate theory uses several structures which come from class field theory , however it does not use any deep result of class field theory.

With post industrialization, former upper level blue collar workers are moving to white collar work because of the decreased availability and prestige of manual labor jobs. Even when their actual jobs do not change, their lifestyles based on their job situation often change into a lifestyle that according to Mayer and Buckley, more closely resembles the lower middle class than the rest of the lower blue collar workers. The result of this idea of embourgeoisement is that more people are incorporated into the middle class.

In computational complexity theory , the parallel computation thesis is a hypothesis which states that the time used by a reasonable parallel machine is polynomially related to the space used by a sequential machine. The parallel computation thesis was set forth by Chandra and Larry Stockmeyer Stockmeyer in 1976 see References . In other words, for a computational model which allows computations to branch and run in parallel without bound, a formal language which is decidable language decidable under the model using no more than math t n math steps for inputs of length n is decidable by a machine in the unbranching model using no more than math t n k math units of storage for some constant k . Similarly, if a machine in the unbranching model decides a language using no more than math s n math storage, a machine in the parallel model can decide the language in no more than math s n k math steps for some constant k . The parallel computation thesis is not a rigorous formal statement, as it does not clearly define what constitutes an acceptable parallel model. A parallel machine must be sufficiently powerful to emulate the sequential machine in time polynomially related to the sequential space compare Turing machine , non deterministic Turing machine , and alternating Turing machine . N. Blum 1983 has introduced a model for which the thesis does not hold. However, the model allows ... of the thesis.

In constructive mathematics , Church s thesis is the mathematical assertion that all total functions are Recurrence relation recursive . It gets its name after the informal Church&ndash Turingthesis , which states that every algorithm is in fact a Recurrence relation recursive function , but the constructivist version is formal and much stronger. It is in fact incompatible with classical logic . Formal statement One way Church s Thesis can be formally stated is by the schema math forall x exist y phi x,y to exist f forall x exist y,u bold T f,x,y,u wedge phi x,y math Where the variables range over the natural number s, and math phi math is any predicate. This schema asserts that, if for every x there is a y satisfying some predicate, then there is in fact an f which is the G del number of a general recursive function which will, for every x , produce such a y satisfying that predicate. T is some universal predicate which decodes the G del numbering used. The thesis is incompatible with classical logic adding it to Heyting arithmetic HA allows one to disprove instances of the law of the excluded middle . For instance, it is a classical tautology logic tautology that every Turing machine either halts or does not halt on a given input but if that were true, then from Church s Thesis one would conclude that there is a general recursive function which solves the halting problem . This is impossible. However, Heyting arithmetic is equiconsistent with Peano arithmetic PA as well as with Heyting arithmetic plus Church s thesis. That is, adding either the law of the excluded middle or Church s thesis can not make Heyting arithmetic inconsistent, but adding both will.

The Blue Water Thesis , also known as the Belgian Thesis or Salt Water Thesis , was a limited decolonization approach arising from U.N. Resolution 637, which linked self determination with non self governing territories. General Assembly resolution 637 VII , adopted on 16 December 1952, recognized that every Member of the United Nations, in conformity with the Charter, should respect the maintenance of the right of self determination . Belgium, which had given up its own colonial possessions under the new decolonization mandates, then further attempted to secure human rights and self determination for native peoples, specifying the Indigenous peoples of the Americas Native American peoples within the United States as a prominent example. In response, nations including the United States pushed through the idea that, in order to be eligible for decolonization, the presence of blue water between the colony and the colonizing country or, at minimum, a geographically discrete set of boundaries was needed ref http web.uvic.ca igov research pdfs audrey roy thesisfinal.pdf ref . There is some confusion as to the use of the three terms, which are at times used interchangeably. This seems to arise from the original thesis, which was inclusive of indigenous peoples within independent states, but was later used to describe the counter argument that separation was a decolonization prerequisite as nations who entirely consist of such territories can not decolonize. Belgium took the lead in trying to extend the obligations entered into by the UN members under Chapter XI to those parts of the metropolis inhabited by peoples whose degree of actual subordination to the rest of the state community in the midst of which they lived placed them in a colonial situation .

Kaus wrote Feiler s point is that we should put these two trends together and that when we do, Trend 1 considerably softens the impact of Trend 2.
