The life, work, and reception of Nikolai Kliuev (1884-1937) provide striking illustrations of the intense preoccupation in Russian culture with the association between poetry and prophecy, between poet and prophet. Kliuev's work abounds in prophetic statements of many kinds, while he frequently and selfconsciously positioned himself as a "prophet" and explicitly identified his work as "propheti...

Jon B. Weissman Division of Computer Science University of Texas at San Antonio San Antonio, TX 78249 USA (210-458-5689 voice, 210-458-4437 fax) ([email protected]) Abstract Obtaining efficient execution of parallel programs in workstation networks is a difficult problem for the user. Unlike dedicated parallel computer resources, network resources are shared, heterogeneous, vary in availability, ...

This work proposes the Cultural Greedy Ant (CGrAnt) protocol to solve the problem of data delivery in opportunistic and intermittently connected networks referred to as Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). CGrAnt is a hybrid Swarm Intelligence-based forwarding protocol designed to address the dynamic and complex environment of DTNs. CGrAnt is based on: (1) Cultural Algorithms (CA) and Ant Colony Opt...

According to cohen venavi, a classic Hebrew essay by Ekhad Ha-Am, there are two ways of serving God: Priest and Prophet. The priest is a very skilled technician who knows by heart the 613 mitzvahs, and who can slaughter a lamb with due regard to the many rigorous and subtle laws. On the other hand, a prophet is often very clumsy in the day-to-day ritual, and is unable to sacrifice an animal pro...

This document is a product of the Delay Tolerant Networking Research Group and has been reviewed by that group. No objections to its publication as an RFC were raised. This document defines PRoPHET, a Probabilistic Routing Protocol using History of Encounters and Transitivity. PRoPHET is a variant of the epidemic routing protocol for intermittently connected networks that operates by pruning th...

computer-supported collaborative learning (cscl) is a new trend in educational sciences. this study investigates how knowledge sharing and transferring can be facilitated by using cscl in a problem-solving setting. intervention of research is education regarding sustainable water resources management (swrm) by computer-supported collaborative learning (cscl). the purpose of this research was to...

Abstract—Novel encoding scheme for algebraic codes, such as codes on algebraic curves, multidimensional cyclic codes, and hyperbolic cascaded Reed–Solomon codes, is proposed with numerical examples. We make use of the 2-dimensional inverse discrete Fourier transform, which generalizes the Mattson–Solomon polynomial for Reed–Solomon codes. We also generalize the workings of the generator polynom...

In the early stage of Islam, Prophet Muhammad in the eyes of Meccans was an arch enemy of their lucrative business and a great threat to the religion of their forefathers. To stop his monotheism, they launched their vicious campaign against him, and thus they called him an enraptured poet and ambitious self-seeker; however, the prophet’s peaceful victory over them resulted in the cessation of t...
