“…In many cases, costly activities actually seem to compromise at least some components of fitness. One needs only to consider the astounding wastage embodied in gladiatorial displays and circuses underwritten by Roman elites in memory of their dead ancestors (Hopkins 1983), the sumptuary displays of late nineteenth century Golden Age elites of New York (Wharton 1962), or the elaborate, costly, and often risky recreational activities undertaken by contemporary Americans on their respective "vision quests" to understand that expenditures in this area of human endeavor can be very large indeed. Yet this problem is not limited to the activities of a few wealthy elites.…”

Conspicuous consumption associated with status reinforcement behavior can be explained in terms of costly signaling, or strategic handicap theory, first articulated by Zahavi and later formalized by Grafen. A theory is introduced which suggests that the evolutionary raison d'être of status reinforcement behavior lies not only in its effects on lifetime reproductive success, but in its positive effects on the probability of survival through infrequent, unpredictable demographic bottlenecks. Under some circumstances, such "wasteful" displays may take the form of displays of altruistic behavior and generosity on the part of high status individuals, in that is signals the ability to bear the short-term costs of being generous or "cooperative," while at the same time reinforcing the long-term benefits of higher status.

“…This process must begin with attempts to re-contextualise the object and to begin to think about statues not as containers of meaning but as records of intentionality. Hopkins (1985), Stewart (2003) and Revell (2009) have all conducted socially focussed studies of different aspects of Roman society which seek to incorporate and to account for the social role of statuary. A striking example of this approach can be found in Price's (1984) account of the role of the image of the emperor and the significance of objects bearing his likeness in the reinforcing of the Imperial cult.…”

We give a systolic algorithm and array for bidiagonalization of an n x n matrix in O(nlog, n) time, using O(n2) ' + n) cells are needed. This is faster than the best previously reported result by the factor log, e = 1.44.. .. Moreover, in contrast to earlier systolic designs, which require the matrix to be preloaded into the array and the result matrix extracted after bidiagonalization, the present arrays are pipelined. Work reported herein AbstractWe give a systolic algorithm and array for bidiagonalization of an n x n matrix in O ( n log, n) time, using O(nZ) cells. Bandedness of the input matrix may be effectively exploited. If the matrix is banded, with p nonzero subdiagonals and q nonzero superdiagonals, then 4n In(p + q) + O(n) clocks aad 2n(p -+ q ) + O( ( p + q)2 + n) cells are needed. This is faster than the best previously reported result by the factor log, e = 2-44 -0 . Moreover, in contrast to earlier systolic designs, which require the matrix to be preloaded into the array and the result matrix extracted after bidiagonaiization, the present arrays are pipelind
