This paper demonstrates the process of identity formation in the collaborative learning of programming through AlgoArena, which is educational software for learning programming. AlgoArena is a collaborative educational system through which learners can learn programming by participating together in the formation of a community of practice and their identity in it. This paper investigates how a ...

Linear codes over finite rings with identity have recently raised a great interest for their new role in algebraic coding theory and for their successful application in combined coding and modulation. Thus, in this paper we address the problems of constructing of new cyclic, BCH, alternant, Goppa and Srivastava codes over local finite commutative rings with identity. These constructions are ver...

The purposeofthispaper is to examinethe impacts ofphysical contextson theefficacy oflocalmosques. The main question of thisresearchis: “What istherelationship betweenphysical context (including:number and space share per head of mosque in neighborhood, functional radius of mosque, the location of local mosque, local adjacent land uses and finally legibility and identity of local mosque in...

Our era is witnessing an increasing impact of globalization on self and identity and at the same time a growing uncertainty. The experience of uncertainty motivates individuals and groups to find local niches for identity construction. This article’s central tenet is that the processes of globalization and localization, as globalization’s counterforce, require a dialogical conceptualization of ...

In this chapter, we propose two novel and curvature-free features: run-lengths of Local Binary Pattern (LBPruns) and Cloud Of Line Distribution (COLD) features for writer identification. The LBPruns is the joint distribution of the traditional run-length and local binary pattern (LBP) methods, which computes the run-lengths of local binary patterns on both binarized images and gray scale images...

We present new definitions for and give a comprehensive treatment of the canonical compactification of configuration spaces due to Fulton-MacPherson and Axelrod-Singer in the setting of smooth manifolds, as well as a simplicial variant of this compactification. Our constructions are elementary and give simple global coordinates for the compactified configuration space of a general manifold embe...
