This paper explores the narration of Pushkin’s novel (in translation into English by James E. Falen) by Stephen Fry and Rafael Corkhill. The aim was to analyse the actors’ oral performance in terms of prosodic invariants as compared to the Russian original recited by two professional actors. An attempt was made to measure the ‘authenticity’ of the translation by application of cluster analysis....

In a recent work, Beierle, Brinkmann and Leander presented recursive tree search for finding APN permutations with linear self-equivalences in small dimensions. this paper, we describe how can be adapted to find many new instances of quadratic functions. particular, found 12,921 functions dimension eight, 35 nine five ten up CCZ-equivalence. Remarkably, two the are permutations. Among 8-bit fun...

the views of the thinkers about the position of the quran are different. some of them believes quran as a” miracle” and others as a”divine” book. the latter group thinks, the verses of the quran don’t confirm the theological thought of miraclousness. also, some scholars to confront to the “sarfah” theory, relied on “ijma al-ommah”. therefore the role of quran, as the original source of “miracle...

Objective:A prospective randomized study was undertaken to compare effects of laparoscopic surgery for acute versus chronic cholecystitis. Method:During a period of 2.5 years 60 patients of which 30 having acute and another 30 having chronic cholecystitis were operated by laparoscopic cholecystectomy and results were noted. Results:Intraoperative adhesions(43.33%) were significantly more with c...

In this paper, we propose an iterated greedy algorithm for solving the blocking flow shop scheduling problem with total flow time minimization objective. The steps of this algorithm are designed very efficient. For generating an initial solution, we develop an efficient constructive heuristic by modifying the best known NEH algorithm. Effectiveness of the proposed iterated greedy algorithm is t...
