Race and patriotism were recurring themes during the 2008 presidential campaign that were used to highlight differences between Barack Obama and his opponents. Yet we know little about how racism and patriotism ultimately affected support for Obama among Whites. Appeals to working-class Whites, a lot of which were thinly veiled allusions to Obama’s race and perceived lack of patriotism, also fi...

Security issues in mobile adhoc network (MANET) are veiled by various techniques that were introduced in past decade. Owing to decentralized nature of MANET, the security issues cultivates resulting in welcoming various lethal vulnerabilities. Out of all security issues in MANET, wormhole attack is considered one of the most challenging adversarial modules that tremendously affect the communica...

Silicon carbide, a refractory material, condenses near the photospheres of Crich AGB stars, giving rise to a conspicuous emission feature at 11.3 μm. In the presence of a stellar wind, the SiC grains are carried outwards to colder regions, where less refractory carbonaceous material can condense, either by itself or in mantles upon SiC grains. Enough carbon can condense on the latter that their...

Productivity is one of the main objectives in team working, and among other goals such as quality, efficiency, etc., it is a key to success in any organization. Team members have to work collaboratively and cohesively on the task, and the level of cooperation will also reflect on the final productivity. Many factors affect team productivity. Some are clear and obvious, e.g. technical and physic...

Infraoptic anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. This anomalous artery usually arises from the intradural internal carotid artery (ICA) near the level of the ophthalmic artery (OA) or rarely from the extradural ICA. This anomaly frequently harbors a cerebral aneurysm, and may involve other coexisting vascular anomalies. In the case of this anomaly, surgical tre...

We explicitly prove the horizon-entropy increase law for both causal and quasi-locally defined horizons in scalar-tensor and f(R) gravity theories. Contrary to causal event horizons, future outer trapping horizons are not conformally invariant and we provide a modification of trapping horizons to complete the proof, using the idea of generalised entropy. This modification means they are no long...

The question of the relation between history and literature is a central historicism new historicism. Literature not possible without influence time; past or present. depiction picture in text, portrayal present becomes future, hence literary text free from any way. Furthermore, some tests intentionally history, as exactly but interpretation mode historical way understanding text. Yogesh Raj's ...

Chess is a good model to study high-level human brain functions such as spatial cognition, memory, planning, learning and problem solving. Recent studies have demonstrated that non-invasive MRI techniques are valuable for researchers to investigate the underlying neural mechanism of playing chess. For professional chess players (e.g., chess grand masters and masters or GM/Ms), what are the stru...
