in this study, the notions of homelessness and unhomeliness are studied in 2 novels by naipaul: half a life (2001) and magic seeds (2004). naipaul has been viewed by many postcolonial critics as an imperially complicit writer, for his controversial views of places and societies, particularly his disdain for non-western societies. this study examines whether the imperatives of the postcolonial c...

Current status of nanoscience research is briefly surveyed with special emphasis on monodisperse metal nanocrystals. Tunneling spectroscopy measurements on polymer protected magic nuclearity Pd561 nanocrystals have revealed single electron charging effects. Mesoscopic organizations resulting from self-assembly of these nanocrystals have been investigated. Giant clusters containing magic numbers...

For any non-trivial abelian group A under addition a graph $G$ is said to be $A$-textit{magic}  if there exists a labeling $f:E(G) rightarrow A-{0}$ such that, the vertex labeling $f^+$  defined as $f^+(v) = sum f(uv)$ taken over all edges $uv$ incident at $v$ is a constant. An $A$-textit{magic} graph $G$ is said to be $Z_k$-magic graph if the group $A$ is $Z_k$  the group of integers modulo $k...

For any h in N , a graph G = (V, E) is said to be h-magic if there exists a labeling l: E(G) to Z_{h}-{0} such that the induced vertex set labeling l^{+: V(G) to Z_{h}} defined by l^{+}(v)= Summation of l(uv)such that e=uvin in E(G) is a constant map. For a given graph G, the set of all for which G is h-magic is called the integer-magic spectrum of G and is denoted by IM(G). In this paper, the ...
