Abstract Much has been made of the ideological connection between mental world servitors in Elizabethan Ireland and origins early English colonial endeavor North America. In this vein, case Sir Ralph Lane, first governor Roanoke colony and, later, muster-master general Ireland, would seem to present a historiographically promising test case, one that might not only link Colony but also could sh...

• Segment detection for low computational power devices. Enhanced Edge Drawing algorithm. Integrated capability of jumping over small discontinuities. New methodology to evaluate accuracy and repeatability. Best AP efficient segment detectors best overall Detecting local features, such as corners, segments or blobs, is the first step in pipeline many Computer Vision applications. Its speed cruc...

In many global optimization problems motivated by engineering applications, the number of function evaluations is severely limited by time or cost. To ensure that each of these evaluations usefully contributes to the localization of good candidates for the role of global minimizer, a stochastic model of the function can be built to conduct a sequential choice of evaluation points. Based on Gaus...

research and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of co-operatively organized, institutional research programs as opposed to individual research programs. "Frontiers in Psychiatry" is concerned with the place of psychiatry in education and sociology, as well as international relations. This superior presentation demonstrates the present-day limitations of psychiatry but also points out ho...

We present a study of inter- and intra-familial relationships of the carcharhiniform shark family Triakidae aimed at testing existing hypotheses of relationships for this group and at improving understanding of the evolution of reproductive traits in elasmobranchs. Our analyses and conclusions are based on evidence from DNA sequences of four protein-coding genes (three from the mitochondrial ge...

The so-called “third world” has often experienced modernity and its version of the “city” in some of their most grotesque forms where Iran has not been an exception. In other words, North-Atlantic powers have historically played the midwife for a father-figure-like modernity and its “third world” concubines, the result of which has been the birth of “monstrosities” of all kinds. Focusing mainly...
