Adaptationism has prompted many a debate in philosophy of biology but the focus is usually on empirical and explanatory issues rather than methodological adaptationism (MA). Likewise, the context of evolutionary biology has provided the grounding for most discussions of the heuristic role of adaptationism. This paper extends the debate by drawing on case studies from physiology and systems biol...

This paper explores security issues of storage in the cloud and the methodologies that can be used to improve the security level. This study is concluded with a discussion of current problems and the future direction of cloud computing. Big data analysis can also be classified into memory level analysis, business intelligence (BI) level analysis, and massive level analysis. This research paper ...

Cloud Computing has been widely used since it brings tremendous improvements in business. Cloud us...

Randomization as a method of experimental control has been extensively used in clinical trials. Generating the randomization schedule has been an essential part of some trials. We discuss how to use SAS programming and SAS PROC PLAN to generate the randomization schedule. The issues related to randomization are also discussed. Case studies are used to illustrate the use of SAS programming and S...

The traditional view has been that Cognitive Linguistics (CL) is incompatible with formalization. Cognitive linguistics is serious about embodiment and grounding, including imagery and image-schemas, force-dynamics, real-time processing, discourse considerations, mental spaces, context, and so on. It remains true that some properties of embodied language, such as context sensitivity, can not be...

A new high rate binary linear block code construction technique, named as Geometric Construction (GC) codes, was proposed recently [1]. It generates all the even full information rate (optimal) Hamming distance – 4 codes. In this paper, we have enhanced the construction of GC codes with respect to code rate and derived a code family of hamming distance-8 GC codes.

The study examines various issues in Pakistan-Afghanistan Relations in the context that emerged after 9/11. It argues that security maintenance and various development pursuits (political and economic) of both Pakistan and Afghanistan considerably rely upon cordial and mutually cooperative relations between these two immediate neighbours. However, there exists trust deficit and the war against ...
