The story of Joseph has been praised as a treasure of world literature. Voltaire confessed it is one of the most precious documents handed down to our own age from antiquity. Neither Egypt nor Babylon can offer anything even remotely comparable. The matchless narrative of the lost son moves old and young alike. As a literary work, it is artistic perfection. The literary genius of The Joseph Nar...

Following a clue in Smollett’s Roderick Random, we can trace Sterne’s allusion to several bawdy tales to multiple editions and versions of collections published from the 1720s to the end of the century under the title The Muse in Good Humour. The occurrence of such terms as old-hat, button-hole and leaky vessel echo jokes familiar to readers of Sterne, but between the usage in the hands of the ...

Double beta decay is indispensable to solve the question of the neutrino mass matrix together with ν oscillation experiments. Recent analysis of the most sensitive experiment since eight years the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment in Gran-Sasso yields evidence for the neutrinoless decay mode. This result is the first evidence for lepton number violation and proves the neutrino to be a Majorana parti...

Researchers on creativity and psychology have long been fascinated with the high incidence of psychotic behavior amongst geniuses and individuals of exceptional creativity. The aims of this paper are first, to review the existing findings for a better insight into the socio-contextual factors underpinning the mad genius conundrum, and secondly, to discuss how the development of postmodern thoug...

This paper describes the combination of a well-known tsp heuristic, genius, with a constraint programming model for routing problems. The result, genius-cp, is an eecient heuristic single-vehicle routing algorithm which is generic in the sense that it can solve problems from many diierent contexts, each with its particular type(s) of constraints. The heuristic quickly constructs high-quality so...

This study explores the cultured understanding of mental health and mental illnesses among members of Generation Y in China through a narrative approach. Five prominent narratives are identified through the analysis of stories about mental illnesses collected through semistructured interviews with college students. These five narratives feature the tragic genius, the psychotic criminal, the fra...

This study aims to discuss Giorgio Agamben’s rethinking education theory. In the theory of education, Agamben emphasizes that potential can only be thought in term impotence. The results discussion find several points. First, when potency and impotency are separated from each other, it considered as a graded system which some students instructed actualize their form standardized tests while oth...
