In the article Superman to the Rescue: Simulating Physical Invulnerability Attenuates Exclusion-Related Interpersonal Biases (Ackerman, Bargh, & Huan, 2013) Julie Huan, Joshua Ackerman, and John Bargh set up a number of studies including a pre-test, study one, study two, and study three to demonstrate the relation between physical invulnerability simulation and positive or negative reactions to being excluded in social situations. They also consider how the reactions of exclusion can change when…
David Auburn is a forty-seven year old successful playwright, director, screenwriter, husband and father. Born in Chicago, Auburn then grew up in Ohio and Arkansas, where he developed his deep love for the arts. Attending the University of Chicago, he joined “Off Off Campus Theater Group”, where he began acting and writing plays and monologues. Auburn also became a critic in his university’s newspaper. Shortly after majoring in English Literature(1991), Auburn accepted a Stephen Spielberg…
In the architectural, engineering and construction industry there is a growing awareness that the effective design of sustainable buildings results from an accurate optimization process of all the variables that are involved and interrelated in meeting the various sustainability goals in the field of energy, indoor environmental quality, water management, and sustainable materials [1][2]. For that reason, current frameworks for the building design process rely on a high degree of…
CHAPTER 4 PSO AND GA TECHNIQUE 4.1 Moth Flame Optimization In the proposed MFO algorithm, I assumed that the candidate solutions are moths and the problem’s variables are the position of moths in the space. Therefore, the moths can fly in 1-D, 2-D, 3-D, or hyper dimensional space with changing their position vectors. Since the MFO algorithm is a population-based algorithm. It should be noted here that moths and flames are both solutions. The difference between them is the way we treat and…
ANT COLONY OTIMIZATION basics and algorithm 3.1. ACO algorithm introduction and basics The concept of ACO has been inspired by observation of real ants while wondering for food source. An ant while in search of food source lays a certain amount of pheromone trail along the path traversed. The laying of pheromone serves dual purpose to the ant. Firstly, it marks the path for other randomly moving aunts and secondly, it helps the aunt to return to its original source. Now, whenever a redundantly…
INSTRUCTION SCHEDULING INTRODUCTION This is used to for improvement of instruction parallelism. By rearranging the instruction orders the stalls can be avoided. The structural hazard, data hazard and control hazard are caused due to stalls. The stalls also depends on the dependencies also. Scheduling can be done before or after the register allocation. Before allocation it leads to maximum parallelism. If it is done after the results need more registers. If it has illegal combination the…
What are all the central themes within the book? First In his afterword to Lord of the Flies, E.L. Epstein claims that the Lord of the Flies is “the central symbol itself” (205). Do you agree that this Beelzebub character is indeed the most significant symbol in Golding’s book? If so, why does Golding choose to include the Lord of the Flies in his novel? What function does it serve in the text? If not, what is the most important symbol in Lord of the Flies? The conch? Piggy’s glasses? Lord of…
things as land and buildings in early Egyptian history. However, it is two mathematical texts that the Egyptians left behind that have made the most impact on modern day mathematics. The Moscow Papyrus, dated back from the Egyptian middle kingdom 2000-1800 bc and the Rhind Papyrus, dated from around 1650 bc. Both are mathematical text that have contributed to modern day math. The Moscow Papyrus for example, is a mathematical text that is filled with what we would call word problems or math…
C. W. Marshall makes eight different claims about Greek masks and uses this article to support and explain each one. The first four claims are uncontroversial: 1) Masks are “better spoken of as headpieces, since they combined the functions of mask and wig” (188). 2) Masks were made of thin stuccoed linen. 3) The Classical process of acting (hypokrisis or mimesis) combined human voice, posture and movement with an inanimate mask. When properly combined, a mask will seem to become an animate face.…
Ant colony algorithm has three steps: pheromone initialization, building tour, updating pheromone.For the ant colony algorithm, path selection influence a little by the pheromone initialization. In order to get a better result, the pheromone value is always initialized slightly higher than the one released in each iteration.We have taken the initial value of pheromone as τij(0)= m/Cmin where , τij(t) is the residual pheromone on the path between node i and node j at moment t. m is the number of…
