The search for beauty and its value has been a discussion topic since the ancient Greeks composed their myths. The advent of safer and more advanced modern plastic surgery techniques and the spread of aesthetic medicine have renewed the search for beauty. Today, beauty seems possible, accessible, and more demo­ cratic than ever before [1]. To be beautiful is going to become an imperative, and f...

The design decision has been made to allow the transparent cube to be removed from its cradle, and thus to be completely independent. This gives the cube a beautiful aesthetic quality, as well as an interesting tactile one, but this design also makes things technically complex. The second part of the paper will look at light enhancement of the LEDs, and waveguide coupling from the backplane int...

The Sacred Art of Islam has undoubtedly been born with the calligraphy of the Holy Quran. Afterwards, it was completed and evolved with decorating of this magnificent manifest. This process has had great effects on all fields of Islamic Art. In this research, the writer has discussed about the procedure of scribing the Holy Quran in the life time of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) as well as t...

In an interesting article entitled “Experiments and discoveries in $q$-trigonometry”, R. W. Gosper conjectured few beautiful $\Pi_q$ Lambert series identities. Many people have attempted confirming some of those identities the Gosper’s list, mainly by using $q$-trigonometric this paper we either prove or disprove all list S. Ramanujan’s theta function N. Bailey’s summation formula. process, obt...

interesting comments by earlier owners and readers. There are two appendices, one of documents, the other an up-to-date catalogue of Giovanni's manuscripts that supersedes those by Zazzeri and by Baader. Detailed attention is given to matters codicological, although information on Giovanni's scribes is not always easy to locate in the dense entries. Splendid photographs, of the library, of Giov...

To understand why two interacting oscillators synchronize with each other, or lock together and resonate at some rational frequency ratio, dynamical-systems theory shows that one should study circle maps and their periodic orbits. One can easily explore the structure of these periodic orbits using Newton maps, derived from Newton’s method for finding the roots of an equation. I present here som...

The topic of Pattern Formation in Growing Sandpiles was first looked at in the 1980’s through a model of sand being added to a two dimensional system at a constant rate.[1] How this sand creates patterns of inactivity and unpredictability is an interesting natural phenomena. The Abelian Sandpile model is one model created to model these patterns, showing that the ending stable state of the mode...
