The purpose of this article is to comparatively examine Tayeb Salih’s Season Migration the North (1966) and Nella Larsen’s Quicksand (1928), emphasizing how concept hybridity depicted in terms its three intercultural transitional phases: “Adopt,” “Adapt,” “Adept”. provides a new perspective for reading both works, as we argue that novelists highlight different phases by exposing phases’ traject...

In this paper, a new multilayer six-port circuit using ultra-wideband directional coupler is presented and implemented. The use of the multilayer technology allows having a compact circuit and a very large bandwidth. To validate this concept, a six-port prototype was fabricated and measured. Simulation and measurement results show the proposed six-port circuit can easily operate over an ultra-w...

Against common postcolonial and historical readings, this article argues that the rise of primitive urge to dominate exploit others is what drives Kurtz Mustafa Sa’eed, two main characters in Joseph Conrad’s Heart Darkness (1902) Tayeb Salih's Season Migration North (1966), respectively, act as primal fathers thus commit violence on others. Adopting Freud’s theory primal-horde notions like “hyp...

This paper aims to discuss a comprehensive list of demerits associated with the use of Diffusing Update Algorithm compared to its link-state counterpart, namely, Shortest Path First algorithm which is a variant of Dijkstra’s algorithm. Such a comparison was neglected for the past two decades due to the proprietary nature of the former protocol. This has led to the prevalence of the latter which...

abstractnarratology and especially time issue in narration is one of new knowledge of literary criticism and narration in the recent decades. time is the main element of story and text in the linear alternation of events in the story. the french man gérard genette is one of most successful theorizing of time narration who has presented his theory in three forms, “order, continuity and frequency...

Cross-cultural research is marked by adopting one of two dominant epistemological paradigms: positivism or constructivism. By discussing strengths/weaknesses inherent in each paradigm, this paper argues that rather than contradictory and incommensurable; positivism and constructivism can be considered complementary epistemological orientations which correspond to two conceptual levels of cultur...

Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the help and support of a lot of people. To my regret I will not be able to name them all here. I am very grateful to my advisors Oded Maler and Antoine Girard. They manage to give me a lot of guidance and freedom at the same time; and were always available for fruitful discussions on a wide range of subjects. I am also obliged to ...
