A Complex View of Industry 4.0

Industry in the light of Imam Sadiq’s point of view

A wise use of scientific resources of the Islamic civilization particularly drawing scientific laws and principles from the religious scriptures can pave the way for the naturalization of educational resources and means of education. The primitive and public assumption of scholars and their students is that the great leaders of Islam have dealt with Fiqh, ethics, mysticism, and some braches of ...

DNA cloning: a personal view after 40 years.

In November 1973, my colleagues A. C. Y. Chang, H. W. Boyer, R. B. Helling, and I reported in PNAS that individual genes can be cloned and isolated by enzymatically cleaving DNA molecules into fragments, linking the fragments to an autonomously replicating plasmid, and introducing the resulting recombinant DNA molecules into bacteria. A few months later, Chang and I reported that genes from unr...

A Systemic View of South Africa's Software Industry

Computer software are increasingly becoming an integral part of how businesses and society at large can innovatively use technology to increase efficiency, set up new business models as well as improve their overall productivity. Developing countries are also realising the potential impact of a successful software industry on structural transformation, education, innovation, service delivery, j...

A Complex View of Barycentric Mappings

Barycentric coordinates are very popular for interpolating data values on polyhedral domains. It has been recently shown that expressing them as complex functions has various advantages when interpolating two-dimensional data in the plane, and in particular for holomorphic maps. We extend and generalize these results by investigating the complex representation of real-valued barycentric coordin...
