Iteration

continually crunch out digits for pi in attempt to create software that could calculate digits of pi faster and faster. In 1976 Eugene Salamin put the final mark on his algorithm, which constantly doubles the number of accurate digits with each iteration of pi (Wilson). Today the world is blessed with the current record being 68,719,470,000 digits found by Kanada and Takahashi in 1999 (Wilson). Even to this day mathematicians are still trying to search and search for more digits of pi. The…

Introduction Globalization and rapid developments in information technology and software development have allowed organizations around the world to adopt Agile software as a technical instrument. The software delivers rapid, improved and efficient information technology solution. The use of Agile software development is a technique that utilizes Agile procedures like Extreme Programming, and Scrum built on iterative and incremental progress. Requirements and solution in agile software…

But while we have discussed the most important diegetic components of epic—heroes and their victories—no discussion of that genre can be complete without a consideration of the way in which their story is told. To this end, we must consider Absalom, Absalom! an oral epic, despite its novelistic form. We may resolve this seeming contradiction by considering David Konstan and Kurt A. Raaflaub’s assertion that “[t]he notion of “oral” epic is [itself] problematic. What survives from antiquity is…

In this chapter of Empire of Liberty which I titled The Rising Glory of America, the author Gordon Wood bring the almost golden age beginnings of this relatively new nation and its bright future that we know today. He writes about culture, “Through the multiplication of newspapers, magazines, circulating libraries, and book clubs, through public exhibitions of paintings and the engraving and distribution of prints…Englishmen and other Europeans sought to exploit the arts in order to reform their…

that black men are statistically more likely to be incarcerated than white counterparts or that the number of degree-bearing black people is disproportionately small. If you are a black person in America you have been born into the most current iteration of that systemic inferiority that has existed from the onset of American society. “White privilege” is simply another term denoting, again, the most current form of that systemic racism that has always existed. The thing that has changed in the…

now to be accepted by others for who they are. Many things about the world changed between the voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492 and the year 2016. The American Dream evolved as well, constantly mutating to conform to the times. However, all iterations of the American Dream share the longing for a better life. Because it successfully endured the passage of time by always promoting self-advancement and improvement, the American Dream is as attractive now as it ever…

Model descriptions SWAN model The SWAN model [12,18] is based on the spectral action balance equation rather than the spectral energy balance equation. The evolution of the action density N is governed by Komen et al. [13]: ∂N/∂t+∇_x ⃗ ∙[((c_g ) ⃗+U ⃗ )N]+(∂c_θ N)/∂θ+(∂c_σ N)/∂σ=S_tot/σ where, N(σ.θ) is the action density spectrum, x is space, t is time,θ is wave direction, σ is relative frequency, S_tot is the source term total, and c_g represents the propagation velocity. The first term in the…

Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) TERCOM is an algorithm that analyses the mean absolute distance by matching the distance between the map depth and the measured depth, as explained by (Carreno, 2010). With TERCOM, the measurements from a certain profile along the trajectory are processed in batch, but it may also be run recursively. The method indirectly assumes constant position offsets from the INS position each time it is started. Point Mass Filter (PMF) PMF is a calculation that determines…

In both iterations of the Ramayana of Valmiki epic poem, the main characters are portrayed as ideal figures in society and portray a high standard of what it means to be a man or woman. The titular character Rama, the eldest and most favored son of King Dasharatha is portrayed as the perfect son, husband and an excellent warrior – he is referred to as “the best of men” on occasion and lives his life on the principle of righteousness. As a result, these qualities have earned him the praise and…
