The Giant Component: The Golden Anniversary
Oftentimes the beginnings of a mathematical area are obscure or disputed. The subject of Random Graphs had, however, a clear beginning and it occurred fifty years ago. Alfréd Rényi (1921-1970) was head of the Hungarian Mathematical Institute which today bears his name. Rényi had a great love of literature and philosophy, a true Renaissance man. His life, in the words of Paul Turán, was one of i...
متن کاملPreliminary evidence for the use of microseismic cues for navigation by the Namib golden mole.
Insect prey of the Namib golden mole congregate beneath clumps of grass scattered among the sand dunes of the Namib Desert. In the presence of the light winds that typically blow over the Namib Desert, these grass clumps emit low-amplitude vibrations that are transmitted through the sand. While foraging in the sand-swimming mode (a few centimeters below the surface of the sand), some moles appa...
متن کاملMiddle ear dynamics in response to seismic stimuli in the Cape golden mole (Chrysochloris asiatica).
The hypertrophied malleus in the middle ear of some golden moles has been assumed to be an adaptation for sensing substrate vibrations by inertial bone conduction, but this has never been conclusively demonstrated. The Cape golden mole (Chrysochloris asiatica) exhibits this anatomical specialization, and the dynamic properties of its middle ear response to vibrations were the subjects of this s...
متن کاملPhylogeography of a Morphologically Cryptic Golden Mole Assemblage from South-Eastern Africa
The Greater Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany (GMPA) region of southern Africa was recently designated as a centre of vertebrate endemism. The phylogeography of the vertebrate taxa occupying this region may provide insights into the evolution of faunal endemism in south-eastern Africa. Here we investigate the phylogeographic patterns of an understudied small mammal species assemblage (Amblysomus) end...
متن کاملPersia and the Golden Rule
My paper has two parts. First, I talk about the golden rule. After introducing the rule and its global importance, I explain why many scholars dismiss it as a vague proverb that leads to absurdities when we try to formulate it clearly. I defend the golden rule against such objections. Second, I talk about the golden rule in Persia and Islam; I consider Persian sources (Muslim and non-Muslim) an...
