the non-linear order of revelations is often considered by many scholars to signify lack of coherence, disunity, and fragmentariness. it seems that 'coherence' and the related terms have veiled a significant linguistic feature of the qur’an, namely, the non-linear nature of revelations, which might be used to make a distinction between ordinary and quranic discourse. we will argue that to unvei...

In many processes in real practice at the start-up stages the process parameters are not known a priori and there are no initial samples or data for executing Phase I monitoring and estimating the process parameters. In addition, the practitioners are interested in using one control chart instead of two or more for monitoring location and variability of processes. In this paper, we consider a s...

One of the major challenges in designing a peptide-based vaccine is the identification of antigenic regions in an antigen that can stimulate B-cell's response, also called B-cell epitopes. In the past, several methods have been developed for the prediction of conformational and linear (or continuous) B-cell epitopes. However, the existing methods for predicting linear B-cell epitopes are far fr...

This paper describes a spread spectrum clock generator (SSCG) circuit for DisplayPort 1.2 standard. A Hershey-Kiss modulation profile is generated by dual sigma-delta modulators. The structure generates various modulation slopes to shape a non-linear modulation profile. The proposed SSCG for DisplayPort 1.2 generates clock signals with 5000 ppm down spreading with a Hershey-Kiss modulation prof...
