The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem, which sharpens results of Krengel and Sucheston [11, 12] in which the weaker constant 2(1 +-(3) was obtained. (Here EX is the expected value of the ran­ dom variable X, and ~ and T are the sets of stop rules ~ n, and of a.s. finite stop rules, respectively.) Theorem 1.1. If Xl' ... , X n are independent non-negative random variab...

The presence of Umar,1 a zealous Gambian Muslim in his early thirties, filled my host’s living room with a pious atmosphere. When my host offered him a seat on the couch, Umar declined, claiming that he – following the Prophet Muhammad’s example – preferred to sit on the floor.

We propose and analyze a class of integrated social and quality of service (QoS) trust-based routing protocols in mobile ad-hoc delay tolerant networks. The underlying idea is to incorporate trust evaluation in the routing protocol, considering not only QoS trust properties but also social trust properties to evaluate other nodes encountered. We prove that our protocol is resilient against bad-...

This paper discusses the categorization of Quranic chapters by major phases of Prophet Mohammad’s messengership using machine learning algorithms. First, the chapters were categorized by places of revelation using Support Vector Machine and naïve Bayesian classifiers separately, and their results were compared to each other, as well as to the existing traditional Islamic and western orientalist...

On the same basis physical methods are additionally prescribed, such as dry-cupping of the neck, or massage of the head with warm oils (thereby offering modern "aromatherapy" a much-needed "rationale").
