This research investigates how two movies, both entitled Ala Kachuu (2018 and 2002), represent ala kachuu, i.e. a tradition of bride kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan. Even though the Kyrgyz government has formally banned this practice since 2016, which is considered as form forced marriage, it still exists practiced by some Kyrgyz. used qualitative method coupled with mise-en-scène cinematographic tech...

The article deals with the historiography of 18 th century (the last quarter) anti-Russian movement in North Caucasus. author analyzes research methods and twritten sources, historians used to form their conclusions. In study Sheikh Mansour activities, one has four basic chronological periods which reveal predominant attention a certain group historical sources. First, come contemporary memoirs...

◈ well-known keystream generator ◈ proposed by Coppersmith, Krawczyk and Mansour [Crypto 93] ◈ use two LFSRs A and S. – Let a 0 , a 1 , … denote the sequence generated by A. – Let s 0 , s 1 , … denote the sequence generated by S. ◈ The resultant sequence is a " shrunken " version of the first one. ◈ modified version of Shrinking Generator ◈ proposed by Meier and Staffelbach [Eurocrypt 94] ◈ use...

We propose a unified approach to prove general formulas for the joint distribution of an Eulerian and Mahonian statistic over set colored permutations by specializing Poirier's quasisymmetric functions. apply this method derive Euler–Mahonian distributions on permutations, derangements involutions. A number known are recovered as special cases our results, including Biagioli–Zeng, Assaf, Haglun...

We propose two-equation models in order to capture the dynamics of a turbulent plasma undergoing compression and experiencing large viscosity variations. The account for possible relaminarization phases rapid changes through closures dependent on Reynolds Froude numbers. These are determined from data-driven approach using eddy-damped quasi-normal Markovian simulations. best model is able mimic...

Policy Iteration (PI) (Howard 1960) is a classical method for computing an optimal policy for a finite Markov Decision Problem (MDP). The method is conceptually simple: starting from some initial policy, “policy improvement” is repeatedly performed to obtain progressively dominating policies, until eventually, an optimal policy is reached. Being remarkably efficient in practice, PI is often fav...

During a survey the occurrence of Kudoa quraishii Mansour, Harrath, Abd-Elkader, Alwasel, Abdel-Baki et Al Omar, 2014, recently identified in the muscles of the Indian mackerel, Rastrelliger kanagurta (Cuvier), a species of Kudoa Meglitsch, 1947 infecting oocytes of mature females of the same host fish was found. The new species, for which the name Kudoa saudiensis sp. n. is proposed, infects o...
