Has war become obsolete? Some argue that macro-historical social processes are leading into obsolescence, while for others pattern is explained by the fact a lingering potential outcome of international politics. I both answers reveal fundamental problem with debate about ‘end war’. The focus on securing predictions end keeps analyses trapped in either teleological or nomothetical linearity and...

Abstract Photon Bose–Einstein condensation and photon thermalisation have been largely studied with molecular gain media in optical cavities. However, their observation semiconductors has remained elusive despite a large body of experimental results very well established theoretical models. In this work, these models are used to build new framework that enables revisiting lasing compare the dri...

The present article seeks to re-asses the intellectual inspiration behind Vladimir Lenin’s “Imperialism, Highest Stage of Capitalism” (1917). This is important not only because it allows us determine originality ideas on imperialism, but also can spark more interest in work other intellectuals who wrote this, which, some cases, has been neglected. Through a historical and ideational analysis fi...

The equid family contains only one single extant genus, Equus, including seven living species grouped into horses on the hand and zebras asses other. In contrast, equine fossil record shows that an extraordinarily richer diversity existed in past provides multiple examples of a highly dynamic evolution punctuated by several waves explosive radiations extinctions, cross-continental migrations, l...

`... eastern Libya – is low-lying and sandy, as far as the river Triton, whereas the agricultural region to the west is very hilly, and abounds with forest and animal life. It is here that the huge snakes are found and lions, elephants, bears, asps and horned asses, not to mention dog-headed men, headless men with eyes in their breasts (I don’t vouch for this, but merely repeat what the Libyans...

This paper presents a new insight into character recognition problem. Implicit polynomial (IP) curves have been used for modelling characters. A unique decomposition theorem is employed to decompose these curves into simple line primitives. For the comparison of the characters, canonical invariants have been computed using so called "related points" of the curves, which are the real intersectio...

Trauma of the cervical spine is one of the most harrowing injuries seen in athletics. Although such injuries are not common, their impact can be devastating. Based on a thorough review of the literature, this article explains the identification of cervical spine trauma and the importance of stability therein. Multiple examples are given highlighting these findings and the way that multiple moda...

The present work was carried out to investigate the relation between a speaker’s age and the quality of the encoded speech for several, well known speech coding techniques and a commercially available vocoder CMX618. For this purpose, a corpus of speech records obtained from speakers of various age and gender groups was created. The PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech quality) method was used...
