Warlike Women in Ancient Egypt
The earliest sources relevant for our subject date back as early as the predynastic period, that is about 3000 B.C. In this epoch (and still later), the goddess Neith* played an important role in the Egyptian pantheon. Two attributes are typical for Neith: the Lower Egyptian Red Crown on her head and arrow and bow in her hand. Therefore, Neith originally was not only a goddess of the not (hern ...
متن کاملPtolemaic Indexing
This paper discusses a new family of bounds for use in similarity search, related to those used in metric indexing, but based on Ptolemy’s inequality, rather than the metric axioms. Ptolemy’s inequality holds for the well-known Euclidean distance, but is also shown here to hold for quadratic form metrics in general. In addition, the square root of any metric is Ptolemaic, which means that the p...
متن کاملReaching women in Egypt: a success story
suffer from low vision or blindness from avoidable causes.1–3 This is, in large part, because women are not using eye care services as frequently as men, especially in rural areas.4–5 A 2002 community-based survey of 4,500 people in Al Minya Governorate, Upper Egypt showed that the prevalence of cataract in women was double that in men and that trachomatous trichiasis was four times as prevalen...
متن کاملProbe Ptolemaic Graphs
Given a class of graphs, G, a graph G is a probe graph of G if its vertices can be partitioned into two sets, P (the probes) and N (the nonprobes), where N is an independent set, such that G can be embedded into a graph of G by adding edges between certain nonprobes. In this paper we study the probe graphs of ptolemaic graphs when the partition of vertices is unknown. We present some characteri...
متن کاملBayesian Ptolemaic Psychology
Ptolemy’s device, the epicycle on deferent, allowed him to account very accurately for motions with respect to the fixed stars of the sun, the moon, and the five observable planets. Indeed, thanks to Harold Bohr, we now know, as Ptolemy did not, that any periodic motions can be approximated arbitrarily well by iterations of epicycles. So far as the data concern only semi-periodic motions with r...
