This article analyses a manuscript on the Islamic law of inheritance, entitled Majmū‘ al-Mīrāth fī Ḥukm al-Farā’iḍ, written by Ismail Mundu. The resulted from Mundu’s anxiety about difficulties encountered his students in understanding inheritance-sharing mechanism and predicted extinction inheritance.

With the development of digital media and continuous application technologies means in communication inheritance intangible cultural heritage, more heritage has found a new way out. However, there are still some problems such as difficulty retaining blood, superficial output content, boring long process content recording process. This paper takes Dunhuang non-legacy literature an example, analy...

Non-stationary function optimization has proved to be a di cult subject for genetic algorithms (GAs). Standard haploid GAs nd it di cult to track a moving target and tend to converge to a local optimum that appears early in a run. We have surveyed a number of diploid GAs which use classic dominant recessive expressions, and outline some possible reasons why they have failed to gain wide accepta...

It was five days before my first Christmas in Perth, Australia, and our family had begun to arrive the night before. As the rest of household slept, I quickly threw on a skirt and tank top and left to attend the memorial service for one of my study participants, a 57-year old Anglican minister who had died from motor neurone disease (MND).

This paper analyses the optimal combination of costly and costless messages that a Sender uses in a signaling game if he is able to choose among all equilibrium communication strategies. We provide a complete characterization of the equilibrium that maximizes the Sender’s ex ante expected utility in case of uniformly distributed types and quadratic loss functions. First, the Sender often wants ...
