Lovejoy argues that sufficient information exists about individuals taken as captives in the slave trade to allow historians to dispense with a generalized notion of a "traditional" African background for New World blacks and, accordingly, to articulate the African-ness of the black diaspora with ethnic and historical specificity. Lovejoy concedes there are difficulties involved with absorbing ...

Marionette is a system for distributed parallel programming in an environment of networked heterogeneous computer systems. It is based on a master/slave model. The master process can invoke worker operations (asynchronous remote procedure calls to single slaves) and context operations (updates to the state of all slaves). The master and slaves also interact through shared data structures that c...

Abstract While slavery was unconventional in Northeast Asia the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it has been documented Korea from Three Kingdoms period (BC 57–AD 668). In 1731, a new regulation introduced that stipulated child slave only if its mother slave, regardless of status child’s father. This led to dramatic decrease number slaves. addition, slaves also deserted more frequently afte...

This paper addresses the adversities of a slave in 19th century Cuba who was considered dangerous because his education; suspicious claim owner; slave’s arrest between Cuba, Spain, and Puerto Rico, defence rights to which he entitled. The scant but interesting documentation on misfortune José Rufino Parra raises many issues regarding daily relationships masters slaves; unheard-of relationship b...

Changes in the natural behavior, expressing adaptation to cohabitation in a community, were observed in the slave-making ants P. rufescens and the slave-species F. fusca and F. cinerea. After a few raids, the initially undirected arousal evoked in the slaves by the amazons' raids, begins to acquire attributes appropriate to the situation, but completely different in both studied slave-species. ...

In this paper, we deal with the optimal topology design in wireless personal area networks based on the Bluetooth technology. The problem consists in determining how to connect network nodes and group them into piconets in such a way that the system performance is optimized. Each piconet includes one central controller, the master, and several nodes called slaves. Since one of the major issues ...

Internal clock synchronization has been investigated, or employed, for quite a number of years, under the requirement of good upper bounds for the deviation, or accuracy, between a predefined master node M and slaves S1, S2, etc. It has been tacitly assumed that the accuracy range between slaves S1 and S2 was just the same as for the master/ slave. In extensive experimental studies of unicast-b...
