Abstract:
Over the years, many of my students have reported that they enjoy lectures that include short, simple animations. To keep students engaged, I have developed a small set of teaching animations using PowerPoint and Camtasia Studio software packages. A survey of students who learned four difficult topics with traditional written lessons and with these animations revealed that 80% of the students say that they learn better when animations are included. With such a majority reporting that cartoons engage them in learning, I wanted to share my simple method of creating them with the teaching community.

Abstract:
Data transmitted to the base station from the sensor node by selecting an optimal cluster head is a massive challenge subjected to the routing protocol, in the case of the wireless sensor network. An energy efficient clustering method, depending on the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm and the Fractional Artificial Bee Colony (FABC) algorithm, has a propensity to maximize the energy of the network and life time of nodes by the optimal cluster head selection (CHS). When conveying data, an ABC-Dynamic Scout bee algorithm is presented that multiplies the scout bee production to enlarge the number of alive nodes and the of CH energy. An assessment among the performances of the implemented ABC-based Dynamic Scout bee algorithm routing mechanism in opposition to that of ABC-based CHS and FABC-based CHS routing is done. The experimental outcome demonstrates that the implemented method increases the quantity of alive nodes with 25% of maximum energy for the normalized network compared with conventional protocols.

Abstract:
The pre- Islamic era is a term which is used in Arabic poetry as well as in Islamic history among the literati and historians. It is defined as the period of time before the rising and spreading of Islam in the desert of Arab. It is also called Ignorance era, because they were not only illiterate from Islamic laws and rules but also void souls from virtuous values. They buried their daughters alive, made erroneous notations and quarreled for centuries, eulogized bloodshed and wars etc. Among them bore a great poet Zuhair bin abi Salma (520- 611) and tried to change their lives by his noble poetry. He praised Hiram bin Sanan, the popular person and leader of his tribes by his famous eulogy for his good moral activates. He played a tremendous role for the pace of his tribe. This article is denoted the ethical and moral virtues in the poetry of Zuhair bin abi Salma in the pre- Islamic era. It is also describes the effort of Zuhair for the peace and morality of his tribe.

Abstract:
165 Background: This phase 4, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ENZA in patients (pts) with progressing mCRPC previously treated with Abi. Methods: All pts maintained castration therapy with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone for the duration of the trial or had a bilateral orchiectomy. Pts were required to have progressive disease at study entry and ≥ 24 weeks of Abi treatment prior to receiving 160 mg/day ENZA. Prior chemotherapy was allowed. The primary end point was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). The secondary end points were overall survival (OS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, and time to PSA progression. Safety was also assessed. Results: A total of215 pts were enrolled; 214 were treated with ENZA (median age, 73 years). The analysis was performed on data up to 48 weeks after the last pt started ENZA treatment. Median duration of prior Abi therapy was 54 weeks. The median duration of ENZA treatment was 5.7 months: 12 months in PSA responders and 4.6 months in non-PSA responders. 16% of pts received treatment for ≥ 1 year. The most common reason for treatment discontinuation was disease progression (65%). Median rPFS was 8.1 months (95% CI 6.1, 8.3). Median OS was not reached in the overall population and 75% of pts were alive 1 year after treatment initiation. PSA response (confirmed or unconfirmed) rate was 26.5% (48/181). The median time to PSA progression was 5.7 months (95% CI 5.6, 5.8). The overall objective response rate in pts with measurable disease at study entry was 12%. The most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were fatigue (32%), decreased appetite (25%), asthenia (18%), back pain (17%), and arthralgia (16%). ENZA was primarily discontinued due to TEAEs in 8% of pts. No seizures were reported. Conclusions: In this study, ENZA remained active in pts with mCRPC previously treated with Abi. Median rPFS in pts with prior chemotherapy was consistent with previously reported data of ENZA in pts with mCRPC and prior chemotherapy/Abi therapy.Reported TEAEs were consistent with the known safety profile of ENZA. Clinical trial information: NCT02116582.

Abstract:
‘Why buy all those?!’ a street vendor in Cairo asked as I picked out photographs of young singing stars he had for sale. ‘Take more of these,’ he suggested, proffering stills from the 1950s films of Abd al-Ḥalīm Hāfiẓ and photos of Muhammad Abd al-Wahhāb and Umm Kulthūm. ‘Those were really good days … the old singers were really good singers. There's nothing like that now. Umm Kulthūm, Abd al-Ḥalīm, they're all gone and the rest are kalām fāḍī [literally ‘empty talk’, indicating something nonsensical or of little value].’ The vendor's opinions resonate among Egyptians. When asked about music in Egypt now, listeners frequently respond by saying: ‘There are no good voices these days’; ‘The singers are all alike – you can't tell them apart’; ‘After Umm Kulthūm, Abd al-Ḥalīm, Farīd and Abd al-Wahhāb died, there was no one’.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.

Abstract:
Finding equilibrium in forms, colour-form combinations and images has long been a concern of mine. I recognise a persistent manner of working within my art practice that utilises geometry, mathematics and colour to arrive at compositions that have a sense of beauty and equilibrium. Abstraction has been of significant interest to me and the three collections of work that I developed during my Master of Fine Arts studies - 'Colour:Form:Ratio', 'Photography-Free Zone' and 'Construction-Abstraction' - illustrate the different ways I have applied my interests in abstraction. Until the completion of the 'Colour:Form:Ratio' painting series my approach to abstraction was cerebral and self-reliant. While I was satisfied with results of my initial investigations and experimentation with abstract forms in painting I felt that the work lacked a social connection. I thus became interested in addressing what I perceived as this shortfall in my abstract painting. A new body of photographic work that had been evolving in parallel to my painting practice seemed to offer a solution. I realised that the photographs could be used to construct a new version of abstract composition. The images shared a similar colour and geometrical configuration to that illustrated in the 'Colour:Form:Ratio' Series. With this breakthrough, I began 'painting by eye', replacing my brush and palette with the camera and using it to capture and frame colours and geometric forms from my surrounding environment. In order to test my new methodology of arriving at abstract compositions extracted from the world around me, I selected two communally shared spaces - the gallery/museum and the construction site - as the sourcing ground for my photographs. The result of my experimentation has been two collections of work: 'Photography-Free Zone' and 'Construction-Abstraction'. Both series reflect my experience of the gallery/museum space and the construction site while illustrating the transferral of my painting process to the photographic medium. The most favourable realisation I made in the process of making these works was that the subject matter I captured with the camera possessed aesthetic and theoretical qualities in keeping with my former painted artistic vocabulary, despite being removed from the physical act of painting.

Abstract:
A host of state-of-the-art AI applications exist, designed for countless specific tasks and used in almost every area of life, by laymen and professionals alike. Many outperform even the most expert humans. In that sense, progress has been spectacular. But the AI pioneers were also hoping for systems with general intelligence. ‘General intelligence as the Holy Grail’ explains why artificial general intelligence is still highly elusive despite recent increases in computer power. It considers the general AI strategies in recent research—heuristics, planning, mathematical simplification, and different forms of knowledge representation—and discusses the concepts of the frame problem, agents and distributed cognition, machine learning, and generalist systems.

Abstract:
This monograph explores an understudied aspect of classical reception—the extraordinary response to Ovid on the part of contemporary women writers. To date, work on classical reception has focused predominantly upon the second-wave feminism preoccupations of recovering the silenced female voices and establishing a woman’s perspective within canonical works. This monograph extends this work by examining the intersections between Ovid’s imaginative universe and the political and aesthetic agenda of third-wave feminism. Ovid enters a new phase of feminism which emphasizes the imperatives of social responsibility and democratization of learning, while also exploring the fluidity of gender boundaries and the ways in which new virtual universes have modified our attitudes to both sexuality and fame. Authors selected for particular case studies include A. S. Byatt, Ali Smith, Marina Warner, Yoko Tawada, Alice Oswald, Saviana Stanescu, Mary Zimmerman, Jo Shapcott, Marie Darrieussecq, Josephine Balmer, Averill Curdy, Clare Pollard, Michèle Roberts, and Jane Alison. Through an analysis of the novels, memoirs, short stories, poems, plays, and translations/adaptations of these writers, Cox opens up the field of classical reception to third-wave feminism, while also casting new light upon the extraordinary plasticity of Ovid’s writing and the acuity of his psychological imagination.

Abstract:
Ex Machina (2014) impressed critics and audiences alike with its bold ideas and all-too-realistic depiction of the unexpected consequences of constructing a sentient being. In his feature directorial debut, Alex Garland uses efficient storytelling, a compelling narrative, and heady concepts to create a modern science fiction masterpiece that explores gender, scientific advancement, and the very concept of humanity, all in a compelling, suspenseful film. Artificial intelligence has long been a sci-fi staple, but here, Garland posits what would happen if, for once, humans, rather than AI, were the real villains. In exploring Ex Machina's ideas about consciousness, embodiment, and masculinity, all through the lens of a misogynist mad scientist, Joshua Grimm argues the result is a fascinating, truly unique film that immediately established Garland as a breakout voice in the landscape of science fiction film.

Abstract:
With the increase in the complexity of terrorism’s networks and activities, the advances in chemical and biological warfare, and the use of organized criminal activities, it is becoming apparent that dealing with this complexity is not possible with traditional problem-solving approaches. The artificial complexity area (Artificial Life, or ALife), complex systems and agent-based distillation (ABD) provide a new perspective to the problem and emphasize the importance of modeling the interaction between system components to tackle these issues. This chapter presents an introduction to Cellular Automota and ABD, and then reviews and critiques how these approaches specifically have been used to model aspects of bushfires, epidemics, biological warfare and terrorism. This chapter then extends upon previous works to present an overview of the possible use of artificial complexity models to the larger field of security and safety applications.

Abstract:
Energy efficiency is a major concern in Internet of Things (IoT) networks as the IoT devices are battery operated devices. One of the traditional approaches to improve the energy efficiency is through clustering. The authors propose a hybrid method of Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm to accomplish the efficient cluster head selection. The performance of the hybrid algorithm is evaluated using energy, delay, load, distance, and temperature of the IoT devices. Performance of the proposed method is analyzed by comparing with the conventional methods like Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and GSO algorithms. The performance of the hybrid algorithm is evaluated using of number of alive nodes, convergence estimation, normalized energy, load and temperature. The proposed algorithm exhibits high energy efficiency that improves the life time of IoT nodes. Analysis of the authors' implementation reveals the superior performance of the proposed method.

Abstract:
Gender inequality lies at the core of Japan’s human capital weakness as well as of its social ailments of declining marriage and low fertility. Prime Minister Abe Shinzo declared his ambition, soon after taking office in late 2012, of achieving much greater female empowerment. Progress has been made, notably in increased childcare provision, but considerable barriers remain. The human capital embodied in Japanese women has improved greatly thanks to the rise in access to university education for female students in the 1990s and 2000s, but this has not yet been translated into leadership roles in part because most organizations use hierarchies ordered strictly by age but also because corporate culture (in the private and public sectors alike) is oriented towards long working hours, enforced socializing, and short-notice job postings, in continued disregard of families and of the now-dominant double-earner households. More women are however fighting back against overt discrimination, the Abe government has introduced a Work-Style Reform Bill to combat long working hours, and more companies are taking the need for diversity seriously. Role models have emerged in a wide range of fields and soon a critical mass of women in decision-making positions will be achieved.

The aim of this chapter is to illustrate how social networking could be used as a tool to empower people and organizations to get connected and share similar ideas and endeavors. It demonstrates the benefits when organizations employ social networking as an e-service tool to engage both consumers and businesses alike. In this chapter, a special focus is attributed to Al Ain Distribution Company (AADC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). AADC has implemented novel e-services for the purpose of improving customer services and incorporate social networking within its existing management information system (MIS). This work has been instrumental in not only showing advantages of using social networking at AADC but also helping the company to address various consumer needs and enhancing its e-services.

Abstract:
Nowadays, technical analysts are called quants. Being overly impressed by computers, we are overly impressed by quants using computers instead of pencils and graph paper. Quants do not think about whether the patterns they discover make sense. Their mantra is, “Just show me the data.” Indeed, many quants have PhDs in physics or mathematics and only the most rudimentary knowledge of economics or finance. That does not deter them. If anything, their ignorance encourages them to search for patterns in the most unlikely places. The logical conclusion of moving from technical analysts using pencils to quants using computers is to eliminate humans entirely. Just turn the technical analysis over to computers. A 2011 article in the wonderful technology magazine Wired was filled with awe and admiration for computerized stock trading systems. These black-box systems are called algorithmic traders (algos) because the computers decide to buy and sell using computer algorithms in place of human judgment. Humans write the algorithms that guide the computers but, after that, the computers are on their own. Some humans are dumbstruck. After Pepperdine University invested 10 percent of its portfolio in quant funds in 2016, the director of investments argued that, “Finding a company with good prospects makes sense, since we look for under valued things in our daily lives, but quant strategies have nothing to do with our lives.” He thinks that not having the wisdom and common sense acquired by being alive is an argument for computers. He is not alone. Black-box investment algorithms now account for nearly a third of all U.S. stock trades. Some of these systems track stock prices; others look at economic and noneconomic data and dissect news stories. They all look for patterns. A momentum algorithm might notice that when a particular stock trades at a higher price for five straight days, the price is usually higher on the sixth day. A mean-reversion algorithm might notice that when a stock trades at a higher price for eight straight days, the price is usually lower on the ninth day. A pairs-trading algorithm might notice that two stock prices usually move up and down together, suggesting an opportunity when one price moves up and the other doesn’t.

Abstract:
Superficially Japan looks in good shape, but underneath it has important vulnerabilities. These have entered a gently but remorselessly vicious cycle: while the ageing and shrinking of its population is becoming more entrenched thanks to low marriage and fertility rates, the country’s use of its basic resource, the human capital embodied by a well-educated population, looks stuck in a trap of surprisingly low wages, insecure work and low productivity, which in turn depresses domestic spending and tax revenues while also suppressing marriage and fertility. Gender inequality lies at the heart of all these economic and social trends. The trumpeted reforms of ‘Abenomics’, implemented since Abe Shinzo’s return to the prime ministership in December 2012, have provided monetary and fiscal fuel so as to keep the economic engines running but have so far failed to find transformative solutions for low wages, job insecurity, and low productivity, or for declining marriage rates and low fertility. Solutions are available, if governments and corporations alike can show stronger will and an unambiguous commitment. A twelve-point agenda is proposed, including public policy reforms for the national minimum wage, marriage tax, immigration rules for domestic staff, labour contract law, quotas for political representatives, childcare spending, and university admissions tests; and private actions, for companies and other organizations in the way they manage human-resources policies, paternity leave, early-career experience for female staff, and the future of women-only universities.

"Jan Chapman is part of a generation of Australian lmmakers and producers who emerged in the wake of what became known as the Australian New Wave of the 1970s. At Sydney University (where she studied English literature), she was part of the Sydney Filmmakers Co-Op. She met the lmmakers Gillian Armstrong and Phillip Noyce (later her husband), and gained practical experience of exhibition and distribution, as well as directing her own short lms. Chapman subsequently spent over a decade at ABC TV, directing and producing. During this period, she rst encountered Jane Campion, whose TV drama Two Friends (1987)—scripted by Helen Garner—she produced. Her rst feature lm as producer was The Last Days of Chez Nous (1992), directed by Gillian Armstrong and also scripted by Garner. By then, she and Campion were already planning The Piano (1993), which was eight years in gestation. Although she didn’t produce Campion’s debut feature Sweetie (1989), or her lms An Angel at My Table (1990) and The Portrait of a Lady (1996), she was a script consultant on the last two lms. After The Piano won the Palme d’Or in Cannes, Chapman was given a development deal with Miramax. However, she preferred to nurture her own projects in Australia. Through Campion, she was put in touch with Shirley Barrett, whose Camera d’Or-winning Love Serenade (1996) she produced. With Campion, she went on to produce Holy Smoke (1999) and Bright Star (2009). Her other credits include Barrett’s Walk the Talk (2000) and Ray Lawrence’s Lantana (2001). She has also served as an executive producer on lms by talented young Australian directors, among them Cate Shortland’s Somersault (2004), Paul Goldman’s Suburban Mayhem (2006), and Leon Ford’s Griff The Invisible (2010). She is currently in the early stages of development on a new feature with Campion called Runaway, based on an Alice Munro short story." In FilmCraft: Producing, 33–35.

Abstract:
An unblinded trial of intravenous stretokinase in early acute myocardial infarction was planned to study wheter the drug produces a clinically relevant benefit in terms of reduction of in-hospital and one year mortality.11806 pts in one hundred and seventy six coronary care units were enrolled over 17 months.Patients admitted within 12 h after o.nSet of symptons and with no contraindications to SK were randomized to receive SK in addition to usual treatment and complete data were obtained in 11712 for what concerns in hospital prognosis.At 21 days overall hospital mortality was 10.7% in SK recipients versus 13%,in controls,an 18% reduction(p=0.0002,relative risk 0.81).The extent of beneficial effect appears to be a function of time from onset of pain to SK infusion(relative risk 0.74,0.80, 0.87 and 1.19 for the 0-3,3-6,6-9 and 9-12 h subgroups).The data of 1-year follow-up concerning 11605 pts(95.3% of the whole population)were available up to December the 31st.1987.4333 pts out of the SK-treated group(74.0%)and 4219 out of the control one (72.1%)were alive,with a significant difference.These results document that the benefit produced by SK in the hospital period remains substantially unchanged.The differences in mortality in favour of SK vs.C remain highly significant specifically for the 0-3 and 3-6 hrs subgroups and is dramatic for patients treated between one hour from onset of symptoms. 503 out of the 637 treated with SK were alive at 1-year follow-up versus 443 out of 641 control group pts:the amplitude of the benefit seems to be further increased in this particular subgroup.The GISSI results document conclusively that an acute thrombolytic treatment with SK in AMI is effective in reducing mortality not only over the short,but also over the medium period.
