This article argues that "the book of nature" will establish historical-theological foundation for appreciating general revelation in creation and affirming theology. In order get argument, it summarize historical overview liber naturae Christianity tradition. Subsequently, E...

The paper presents a semismooth inexact Newton-type method for solving optimal power flow (OPF) problem. By introducing the nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP) function, the Karush-KuhnTucker (KKT) conditions of OPF model are transformed equivalently into a set of semismooth nonlinear algebraic equations. Then the set of semismooth equations can be solved by an improved inexact LevenbergMar...

Generality and scale are important but difficult issues in knowledge engineering. At the root of the difficulty lie two challenging issues: how to accumulate huge volumes of knowledge and how to support heterogeneous knowledge and processing. One approach to the first issue is to reuse legacy knowledge systems, integrate knowledge systems with legacy databases, and enable sharing of the databas...

Andreas Vesalius reformed anatomical knowledge and teaching in the Renaissance by adopting Galenic methods from the classical past. His careful drawings revealed the human body in unprecedented and realistic detail, but the images of himself were more ambiguous.
