The paper discusses the role of metaphor in name construction sea creatures among Akan (Mfantse) people within purview onomasiology. naming has been understudied. This is a step towards filling gap by analyzing plays constructing units for creatures. study qualitative research design. Twelve (12) fishers were purposely sampled, three (3) each from four fishing towns: Anomabo, Apam, Sekondi (Sek...

This research realizes and analyze Multi-legged Passive Dynamic Walking(PDW). Although various PDW studies have been conducted based on its interesting features, most of them dealt with bipedal robots. There are many kinds of multi-legged creatures, not only quadrupedal animals but also creatures with more than six legs. In this paper, we focus on a “Multi-legged PDW,” which is a PDW with more ...

Birds, fish, and many other animals travel as a flock, school, or herd. Animals in these groups must remain in close proximity while avoiding collisions with neighbors and with obstacles. We would like to reproduce this behavior for groups of simulated creatures traveling fast enough that dynamics plays a significant role in determining their movement. In this paper, we describe an algorithm fo...

Biogenetic engineering only very recently enabled human beings to construct Iifeforms that would be impossible except for scientific technology. The very newness of these techniques and the obvious ways in which the origin of "engineered" creatures derives from the activities of human agents allows us to think about questions derived from the discourse of environmental ethics in a new way, for ...

Birds, sh, and many other animals travel as a ock, school, or herd. Animals in these groups must remain in close proximity while avoiding collisions with neighbors and with obstacles. We would like to reproduce this behavior for groups of arti cial creatures with signi cant dynamics. In this paper we describe an algorithm for creatures that move as a group and evaluate the performance of the al...

Cellular Automata (CA), like every other dynamical system, can be used to generate music. Starting from any initial state and applying to CA simple transition rules, such models are able to produce numerical sequences that can be successively associated to physical parameters. This approach is interesting because, maintaining fixed the set of rules and varying the initial data, many different, ...

grotesque was introduced to european literature by the middle of sixteenth century, though previous definitions of this terminology were available before. although this term was introduced to aesthetics at the same time with its introduction to philosophy of arts, kayser made it official and defined it as an expression of alienation and the chaotic world in the nineteenth century. grotesque, as...

SoME time in the first part of the Christian era, perhaps as early as the second century, there emerged a curious collection of zoological fables and religious moralizations called Physiologus."5 It may have begun as a group of tales about animals and their attributes. The number of different creatures originally was about forty.'67 The Physiologus was copied repeatedly and, in time, was greatl...

Displaced Iraqi woman Fawzi Hussein Yassin, 64. An outbreak taskforce was established, comprising experts from both the Ugandan Ministry of Health and Wildlife Authority, as well as WHO. Police officers joined with village council and district leaders to ensure compliance with quarantine orders. Experts are conducting tests at the mine and on the bats, rats and other creatures living there. The...
