چکیده
Ú ̆ ‰ ‡ Ï , È Â ‡ · was an active, if not the most active, character throughout „ Â „ ’s reign. However, the character of È Â ‡ · and his brothers is foggy and puzzling. Although many of us have been taught to classify figures in Tanach into the roles of either ¢ ˆ „ È ̃ ¢ or ¢ ̄ ̆ Ú ¢ to further our understanding of the manifest context © Ù ̆ Ë ® and latent meaning © „ ̄ ̆ ® of the text, È Â ‡ · and his brothers are exceedingly difficult to categorize; a simplification of their character would be trivializing and damaging rather than beneficial. This analysis attempts to discover the complexity of È Â ‡ · ’s true character and uncover the dynamics of · È ˆ ̄ Â È ‰ ’s relationship with Æ „ Â „

متن کاملCunning Ant System: An Extension of Edge Histogram Sampling Algorithms to ACO
In this paper, we propose a variant of an ACO algorithm called the cunning Ant System (cAS). In cAS, each ant generates a solution by borrowing a part of a solution which was generated in previous iterations, instead of generating the solution entirely from pheromone density. Thus we named it, cunning ant. This cunning action reduces premature stagnation and exhibits good performance in the sea...
