This study deals with the conflict of Nigerian Biafran War 6 July, 1960-15 January, 1967 as represented in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie‟s novel Half of a Yellow Sun (2006). The study attempts to address the following four questions: first, what are the causes-effects of Biafran/Civil war? Second, why Nigerians have been suffering during the wartime? Third, how does the representation of Nigerian hi...

That's it, a book to wait for in this month. Even you have wanted for long time for releasing this book shaping the future business design through information technology; you may not be able to get in some stress. Should you go around and seek fro the book until you really get it? Are you sure? Are you that free? This condition will force you to always end up to get a book. But now, we are comi...

Policy has become an important factor in network de-sign, and there is now a bewildering bevy of architec-tural proposals. Each one aims at a different set of policygoals, and we don’t know which one is right. This pa-per’s animating assumption is that we can’t predict thefuture policy requirements of the Internet so should in-stead seek the most general policy framework...

Background: The Far Future Argument Certain major global catastrophes could cause permanent harm to humanity. A large body of scholarship makes a moral argument for confronting the threat of these catastrophes based on a concern for far future generations. The far future can be defined as anything beyond the next several millennia, including millions or billions of years from now, or even longe...

A double forecasting model based on conditional expectation is proposed through probability distribution of port cargo throughput. A compound variable, being composed of the number of cargo ships arriving at the port and the operating efficiency of handling equipment, is constructed. The port cargo throughput is the sum of all compound variables which indicated the cargo throughput each time wh...

We present the results of the influence of the minimal supersymmetric standard model extended by an additional Higgs singlet N, with vacuum expectation value vN , on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. This gives different mass matrices for the charginos and neutralinos, which are taken into account within the relevant penguin diagrams leading to a contribution ∆aμ to the anomalous magne...

In this paper a novel algorithm for estimating the parametric form of the camera motion is proposed. A novel stochastic vector field model is presented which can handle smooth motion patterns derived from long periods of stable camera movement and also can cope with rapid motion changes and periods where camera remains still. A set of rules for robust and online updating of the model parameters...

The reconstruction of sparse signal is an active area research. Different from a typical i.i.d. assumption, this paper considers non-independent prior group structure. For more practical setup, we propose EM-aided HyGEC, new algorithm to address the stability issue and hyper-parameter facing other algorithms. instability problem results ill condition transform matrix, while unavailability hyper...
