the subfamily metopiinae was taxonomically studied in fars and hormozgan provinces during 2011–2013. the specimens were collected by using malaise traps and sweep net. five species were collected and identified, of which three species are recorded for the first time from iran: colpotrochia cincta (scopoli, 1763), exochus suborbitalis schmiedeknecht, 1924, and metopius (peltocarus) turcestanicus...

The finite clement method is used more efficiently by applying a remeshing technique. The criteria for remeshing is based on an a posleriori error estimator. Both global and local error indicators are investigated. It is found that although the local error values arc larger than the global error, it can locate where the maximum errors are in the finite clement mesh. Its main advantage over glob...

Performance of Finite Field Arithmetic in an Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem Zhi Li, John Higgins, Mark Clement 3361 TMCB Brigham Young University Provo, UT 84602 {zli,higgins,clement}@cs.byu.edu Abstract As the Internet commerce becomes a more important part of the economy, network security is receiving more emphasis. Time spent in data encryption can be a significant performance bottleneck for ma...

In the beginning the surface of the Earth was extremely hot, because the Earth as we know it is the product of a collision between two planets, a collision that also created the Moon. Most of the heat within the very young Earth was lost quickly to space while the surface was still quite hot. As it cooled, the Earth's surface passed monotonically through every temperature regime between silicat...

Abstract This article examines the citations from Clement of Alexandria’s Stromata prior to editio princeps by Piero Vettori (1550) and provides new data on relationship between that edition manuscripts have preserved this work for future generations.

The interpretation of Old Testament theophanies was crucial for early Christianity’s theological appropriation of the sacred history of Israel, and igured signiicantly in the antiJewish, anti-dualistic, and anti-monarchian polemics of the second and third centuries. A Christian continuator of Philo’s “noetic exegesis,” Clement of Alexandria inaugurates an approach to theophanies that is differe...
