some servers are to be located at nodes of a network. demand for services of these servers is located at each node and a subset of the nodes is to be chosen to locate one server in each. each customer selects a server with a probability dependent on distance and a certain amount of benefit is achieved after giving service to the customer. customers may waive receiving service with a known proba...

the etymology of the qurʾānic vocabulary, unlike some other qurʾānic fields, has remained in the traditional paradigm. even jeffrey’s the foreign vocabulary of the quran, could not make an appropriate reaction among muslim scholars, as has been seen in the wake of nöldeke’s geschichte des qorans or goldzher’s richtungen in the muslim world. needless to say that the scholarly (rather than ideolo...

This paper will present two examples that we feel can convince students of the benefits of object-oriented design and spur their interest. Both examples are well-known and fun to program. We first describe a sorting animation. In this project we will ask students to implement animation of various sorting algorithms, and for each sorting algorithm the user can choose one of two methods of animat...

The function ncal carries out nonlinear calibration, which entails fitting concentration-response curves to sets of samples of known concentrations, also known as standard samples, and using the fitted curves to obtain point estimates and confidence intervals for the analyte concentrations in the samples of interest, also known as the unknown samples. Take Luminex (Defawe et al., 2012) as an ex...

An immediate corollary is that it is always possible to pick a Z-lattice inside QS so that the corresponding p-modular reduction is isomorphic to the dual of the conventional p-modular reduction (coming from the standard basis and written FpS λ). Thus our theorem gives a rich source of examples of non-isomorphic p-modular reductions. It would be interesting to know how far it is possible, by pi...
