The construct of calling has recently been applied to the vocation of medicine. We explored whether medical students endorse the presence of a calling or a search for a calling and how calling related to initial speciality interest. 574 first-year medical students (84 % response rate) were administered the Brief Calling Survey and indicated their speciality interest. For presence of a calling, ...

using and calling on traditional heritage of the past is considered the most important literary techniques in contemporary arabic poetry, that unites the past with present, in fact the contemporary poet by calling the heritage of the past achieved rich and inexhaustible source, and the calling of traditional characteristics is considered one of the literary techniques. the character of “imam hu...

In genome-wide association studies, high-level statistical analyses rely on the validity of the called genotypes, and different genotype calling algorithms (GCAs) have been proposed. We compared the GCAs Bayesian robust linear modeling using Mahalanobis distance (BRLMM), Chiamo++, and JAPL using the autosomal single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the 500 k Affymetrix Array Set data of the...

Alarm calling is common in many species. A prevalent assumption is that calling puts the vocalizing individual at increased risk of predation. If calling is indeed costly, we need special explanations for its evolution and maintenance. In some, but not all species, callers vocalize away from safety and thus may be exposed to an increased risk of predation. However, for species that emit bouts w...

Drawing on research into telecommunications in the region by Helga Tawil-Souri (2013, 2015), this essay focuses literary, cultural and political implications of telephony Israel-Palestine. Analysing telephone Mourid Barghouti's I Saw Ramallah (2000) Was Born There, Here (2011), argue that memoirs exile are structured an impossible logic where picking up phone means not getting through. Demonstr...

In this paper, we proposed a new region extraction method using chroma key with a two-tone checker pattern background. This method solves the problem in conventional chroma key techniques that foreground objects become transparent if they have the same color with the background. The method utilizes the adjacency condition between two-tone regions of the background and the geometrical informatio...

This note reports the combined results of several initiatives in creating and surveying complete suites of endgame tables (EGTs) to the Depth to Mate (DTM) and Depth to Conversion (DTC) metrics. Data on percentage results, maximals and mutual zugzwangs, mzugs, has been filed and made available on the web, as have the DTM EGTs.

We give a very simple mathematical construction of the infinitesimals needed in understanding some simple go endgames as shown in book [1].

Unlike perfect-information games, imperfect-information games cannot be decomposed into subgames that are solved independently. Thus more computationally intensive equilibrium-finding techniques are used, and abstraction— in which a smaller version of the game is generated and solved—is essential. Endgame solving is the process of computing a (presumably) better strategy for just an endgame tha...
