This article analyzes Nietzsche’s poem “The Song of Melancholy,” which later appeared in the Dionysus Dithyrambs under title “Only Fool! Only Poet!”. While Nietzsche scholars have noted that outlines a new poetic program this valorizes commonly devalued terms “lie” and “robbery,” question poet’s relationship to truth remains controversial. Existing interpretations tend read phrase “only poet” a...

The Hagelin M-209 was a mechanical encryption device used by the US Army during World War 2 and the Korean War, as well as by other armies and in embassy settings. In this paper, we present a 4-stage hillclimbing algorithm for recovering the full key settings from ciphertext only. The two first stages are based on a divide-and-conquer approach developed by Geoff Sullivan. In our performance eva...

High speed signal processing is often performed as a pipeline of functions on streams or blocks of data. In order to obtain both flexibility and performance, parallel, reconfigurable array structures are suitable for such processing. The array topology can be used both on the micro and macro-levels, i.e. both when mapping a function on a fine-grained array structure and when mapping a set of fu...

The analysis of di erences and commonalities between process models or between instances which progressed through the model (henceforth referred to as instance tra c) plays an important role in companies. For example, companies are often confronted with di erent versions or variants of a process model and hence need methods to identify redundancies or inconsistencies between them. Di erencegrap...

Processes may require to execute the same activity in different stages of the process. A human modeler can express this by creating two different task nodes labeled with the same activity name (thus duplicating the task). However, as events in an event log often are labeled with the activity name, discovery algorithms that derive tasks based on labels only cannot discover models with duplicate ...

Read-only memories (ROMs) are widely used in both digital communication systems and daily consumer electronics. The major functions of ROMs are storage of data, programs, firmwares, etc. In this paper, a three-dimensional decoding structure for ROMs is proposed. The number of address decoding stages is drastically shortened. Hence, the delay is reduced, as well as the power consumption and area...

The purpose of this study was to quantify the components of acceleration, load range and deceleration through a velocity spectrum during concentric hip abduction and adduction isokinetic exercise, and to investigate the effect of load range on peak torque and work done. 16 male healthy subjects performed 3 maximal concentric reciprocal hip abduction and adduction gravity corrected repetitions i...

PROMS, a computer-music service under development at the University of Bonn, Germany, aims at designing and implementing PROcedures for Music Search. This paper discusses an eÆcient algorithm for searching a music pattern, e.g., a melody or a sequence of chords, in a large database of polyphonic music, given in a score-like format. Our algorithm is a variant of the now classic inverted le index...

This paper describes a natural language system which improves its own performance through learning. The system processes short English narratives and is able to acquire, f rom a single narrative, a new schema for a stereotypical set of actions. During the understanding process, the system attempts to construct explanations for characters' actions in terms of the goals their actions were meant t...

Risk identification is one of the most challenging stages in the risk management process. Conventional risk management approaches provide little guidance and companies often rely on the knowledge of experts for risk identification. In this paper we demonstrate how risk indicators can be used to predict process delays via a method for configuring so-called Process Risk Indicators (PRIs). The met...
