Really Simple Syndication (RSS) uses extensive markup language (XML) to constantly scan the content of Web sites for updates, which will then be delivered to subscribers' desktops or mobile devices through an RSS feed. RSS helps professionals stay current while reducing workloads. Librarians need to get familiar with RSS to educate their users, to stay current in information technology, and to ...

A new generation algorithm for the base-K logarithm is presented. Intermediate results for computation of the logarithm are presented in the redundant signed digit (RSD) representation, and additions and subtractions were performed without carry propagation. Based on the properties of RSD arithmetic, higher performance is obtained as compared with the conventional logarithm in the classical bin...

A simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the assessment of carbofuran in various formulations and in environmental water samples is described. The method is based on the coupling of hydrolyzed carbofuran with diazotized dapsone in alkaline medium at 0 – 4° C which gives orange red colored product having the absorption maximum at 480 nm. The product is stable for 48 h. Bee...

This article brings together tiles of 16th century Persian architecture and 21st century digital tiles of moving image to explore new potentials beyond the perceived image. As minimal parts of a bigger image, they both appear still and motionless. However, Persian Islamic philosopher, Mulla Sadrā Shirazi’s (1571-1640) theory of ‘substantial motion’ (al-harakat al-jawhariyya) argues that, at the...

Repetitive Scenario Design (RSD) is a randomized approach to robust design based on iterating two phases: a standard scenario design phase that uses N scenarios (design samples), followed by randomized feasibility phase that uses No test samples on the scenario solution. We give a full and exact probabilistic characterization of the number of iterations required by the RSD approach for returnin...

Relational rule learning is typically used in solving classification and prediction tasks. However, relational rule learning can be adapted also to subgroup discovery. This paper proposes a propositionalization approach to relational subgroup discovery, achieved through appropriately adapting rule learning and first-order feature construction. The proposed approach, applicable to subgroup disco...
