Recognizing Ancient South Indian Language Using Opposition Based Grey Wolf Optimization

Recognizing signs and fonts of prehistoric language is a fairly difficult job that requires special tools.This stipulation make the dispensation period over-riding,difficult and tiresome to calculate.This paper present a technique for recognizing ancient south Indian languages by applying Artificial Neural Network(ANN)associated with Opposition based Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm(OGWA).It identifies the prehistoric language,signs and fonts.It is an apparent from the ANN system that arbitrarily produced weights or neurons linking various layers play a significant role in its performance.For adaptively determining these weights,this paper applies various optimization algorithms such as Opposition based Grey Wolf Optimization,Particle Swarm Optimization and Grey Wolf Opti-mization to the ANN system.Performance results are illustrated that the proposed ANN-OGWO technique achieves superior accuracy over the other techniques.In test case 1,the accuracy value of OGWO is 94.89%and in test case 2,the accu-racy value of OGWO is 92.34%,on average,the accuracy of OGWO achieves 5.8%greater accuracy than ANN-GWO,10.1%greater accuracy than ANN-PSO and 22.1%greater accuracy over conventional ANN technique.

From Binary Opposition to Identity in Everyday Use

Everyday Use is the best of essays written by Alice Walker,a very famous African American woman novelist.In this essay,two sisters from Africa-American family give us a deep impression.Although they are sisters,Maggie and Dee are different.With a concept of structuralism:binary opposition,this article shows the two sisters:Maggie and Dee have different natures,appearances and the views for the quilt.However,with their attitudes to the quilt analyzed by deconstructionism:breaking the binary opposition,the two sisters are identical:both of them regard the quilt as the rare material.Finally,this thesis points out an insufficiency of the essay.

Opposition-Based Firefly Algorithm for Earth Slope Stability Evaluation

This paper introduces a new approach of firefly algorithm based on opposition-based learning （OBFA） to enhance the global search ability of the original algorithm. The new algorithm employs opposition based learning concept to generate initial population and also updating agents’ positions. The proposed OBFA is applied for minimization of the factor of safety and search for critical failure surface in slope stability analysis. The numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the new algorithm.

Who Killed Dr.Faustus—An Analysis on Doctor Faustus's Tragic End

Doctor Faustus is one of the most famous tragedies written by Christopher Marlowe in the 16th century.This paper aims at finding out the true factors which lead to Faustus's final damnation with the help of binary opposition-an important theory in structuralism.

打破奴隶制与种族主义之间传统的二元(英文)

In the history of America, there is always a dispute about the relationship of racism and slavery. Does racism lead to the system of slavery or the discrimination towards those slaves especially those Negroes result in racism? It seems this issue remains elusive. However in this essay, the resorts to some conceptions of linguistics to break the stereotyped mode of relationship between them, and explores the item from a broader perspective, and then makes a conclusion--- when we analyze the relationship of racism and slavery we should not confine to a limited view of the binary opposition of them.

Binary Opposition of the Characterization of David in Bible

Characters in Bible are like the coin possessing two sides. David, the most complicated figure in Bible, is just a case in point. From this perspective, this paper tries to use the principle of binary opposition to analyze the characterization of David in Bible, that is, David's tolerance vs. vengeance, piety vs. impiety, and iron heart vs. sentiment.

A Deconstruction Perspective of The Minister's Black Veil

Deconstruction, advocated by Jacques Derrida, is a critic outlook that indicates the pitfall of the philosophical dichotomy in Western convention, revealing the unreliability of human language and conception. Hawthorne's The Minister's Black Veil,with the obscurity and uncertainty in its disclosure, offers the feasibility for a deconstruction study. The binary oppositions and its deconstruction of the "black veil" in perspective of persona, idea and existence contribute to the void perception and activities of Mr.Hooper, the protagonist as well as the author's literary practice.

Transient response of enstrophy transport to opposition control in turbulent channel flow

The transient response of the turbulent enstrophy transport to opposition control in the turbulent channel flow is studied with the aid of direct numerical simulation. It is found that the streamwise enstrophy and the spanwise enstrophy are suppressed by the attenuation of the stretching terms at first, while the vertical enstrophy is reduced by inhibiting the tilt of the mean shear. In the initial period of the control, the streamwise enstrophy evolves much slower than the other two components. The vertical vorticity component exhibits a rapid monotonic decrease and also plays an important role in the attenuation of the other two components.

A Machine Learning Based Algorithm to Process Partial Shading Effects in PV Arrays

Solar energy is a widely used type of renewable energy.Photovoltaic arrays are used to harvest solar energy.The major goal,in harvesting the maximum possible power,is to operate the system at its maximum power point(MPP).If the irradiation conditions are uniform,the P-V curve of the PV array has only one peak that is called its MPP.But when the irradiation conditions are non-uniform,the P-V curve has multiple peaks.Each peak represents an MPP for a specific irradiation condition.The highest of all the peaks is called Global Maximum Power Point(GMPP).Under uniform irradiation conditions,there is zero or no partial shading.But the changing irradiance causes a shading effect which is called Partial Shading.Many conventional and soft computing techniques have been in use to harvest solar energy.These techniques perform well under uniform and weak shading conditions but fail when shading conditions are strong.In this paper,a new method is proposed which uses Machine Learning based algorithm called Opposition-Based-Learning(OBL)to deal with partial shading conditions.Simulation studies on different cases of partial shading have proven this technique effective in attaining MPP.

The Black Suits of Mayday:The Turkish Cypriot Opposition in a Period of Siege

The present article analyzes the emergence of the Turkish Cypriot state of exception in the period of intercommunal riots in Cyprus on two main levels.The first level identifies its structures and ideological aspects.The enclaves of the 1964-1974 period in Cyprus are treated as areas of exclusion and siege of the Turkish Cypriots.Therefore,they are studied as spaces that produce certain political activity against the“other”community,the Greek Cypriot community.The creation of the enclaves resulted from the armed violence of this decade;it was a direct response to an emergency situation which contributed,to a certain degree,and to the territorial and political partition of the two communities.Therefore,this article aims to describe the aspects of the nationalist hegemony and the efforts to reproduce its power through the activation of the threat.On a second level,the article studies the dynamics that led to the emergence of opposition forces and which eventually became an important aspect of the development of the Turkish Cypriot community.On this level,the paper examines the space where the Turkish Cypriots lived for a decade as areas where state power sovereignty,or the dominance of the nationalist elite,met with alternative forms of existence and with other notions of belonging that opposed the dominant ones.

Squaring the Dialectic of Inference and Chance

Instead of merely inferring that our beliefs are in a correlation to the facts, I will contend that what matters is the logic of their inferential structure. This will reveal what is actually true for their relation and not just real for experience. Given one and two-sided inferences, the conditions of their functional relation will be consistent within a square of opposition; for contraries, contradictions and sub-contraries in a way that probability theory is not. Within this model of inferences, the two-sided concept of inferences will also have a modal value for its relation to the one-sided concept of inferences. Proposing that empirical, formal, speculative, and an Intuitionist Speculative understanding of logic will have a modal identity within a dialectical principle.

Power and Architecture in Portuguese Fascism： Political and Artistic Control and Resistance

This paper analyses the system of artistic and ideological conditioning that architects were subject to during the Portuguese fascism, the so-called ＂New State＂, the longest western European dictatorship of the previous century, that lasted from 1933 to 1974, under the uninterrupted leadership of Ant6nio de Oliveira Salazar until 1968. After a concise exposition of the importance of a major public work campaign to the regime affirmation as well as the aesthetic discourse promoted in its architecture, the standard course of a building project evaluation will be described. Crossing varied legislation and taking into consideration the results of a thorough examination to more than one hundred processes of architectural plans approval, the interaction of the various decision-making bodies will illustrate the existence of an efficient apparatus which progressively depurate designs. Prevention and repression of artistic deviation will be demonstrated. Furthermore, the development and importance of self-censorship will be highlighted. Secondly, a characterization of the atmosphere of ideological surveillance and dissident＇s oppression will be provided. Architects＇ participation in opposition＇s initiatives and strategies will be portrayed. As a conclusion, New State practice of a negotiation and inclusion （both artistic and ideological） tactic in the architectural field will be underlined.

The Radical Character of Art and the Pedagogical and Political Value of the ＂Sublime＂ in Adorno＇s Aesthetic Theory

The critical nature of artwork is owed, according to Adorno, to the fact that it opposes its assimilation by reason and that it does not yield to the imposition of its established principles. This character which Heidegger, too, through a paradoxical convergence with Adorno, and in opposition to Lukacs, recognizes as its ontological component, permits the work of art to represent a force of resistance to dominance in general, in the prospect of the salvation of a humanized society. As such, it makes possible the radical rejection of political and, pertinent to it, pedagogical activity, when converted into primarily authoritiarian activity. Such a responsibility does art assume, according to Adorno, when it represents a spirituality, which is embodied in exemplary fashion both in the work of art itself, making the experience of the sublime possible, and in the aesthetic of the sublime, which is concentrated intensively on whatever remains unapproachable through concepts. In this way, we could say that the aesthetic of the sublime is converted into ＂first philosophy,＂ in the sense that it provides the rule for every theoretical approach. Concurring with this reading of Adorno, we consider how the sublime, as shown in the context of his aesthetic theory, is governed, furthermore, by a paideutic principle of exceptional significance, which we must necessarily activate through aesthetic education, so that western man may understand that he must uproot himself from the nihilistic social context in which he lives, rupturing the delusion of his omnipotence. In a world governed by a permanent crisis of democracy in public and private life, since the weakening of political imagination unites with the retreat from political ethos and an generalization of the unprecedented will for dominance, we consider this aesthetic theory to be exceptionally essential and useful to us both as pedagogical theory and as political theory, since it allows us to understand that the experience of the sublime through art is in opposition to this condition of destruction, and indeed represents the ideal of justice.

E. A. Poe＇s The Masque of the Red Death： Symbol vs. Allegory？

The paper is concerned with E. A. Poe＇s unique symbolic method as manifested in his tale The Masque of the Red Death. It offers a picture of the general state of critical treatment of the supposed opposition between allegory and symbol. I present a historical overview of how the distinction between the literary terms arose, tracing the roots of the issue to the end of the 18th century and showing its development over the next two centuries. The second section of the paper is devoted to the analysis of The Masque in the light of the theoretical background provided in the opening section. The Masque is interpreted in terms of Poe＇s modulation of＂closed＂ and ＂open＂ symbolism by focusing on aspects of the story that relate to the use of numbers, colors, and time.

Beyond Binary Opposition： Reinterpretation of Mr. Pontellier in the Awakening

The American writer Kate Chopin＇s masterpiece, The Awakening published in the late 19th century is one of the classics in female literature. The heroine Edna having the courage to pursue self-reliance and express her self-awareness, is regarded as a ＂new woman＂, while the comments on her husband, Mr. Pontellier are quite negative--He regards Edna as a private property and a sexual tool, leading to her awakening and suicide. In this paper, the author reinterprets Mr. Pontellier with the method of close reading in new criticism, deeming that it is the binary opposition in thinking that leads to the misreading. Mr. Pontellier was just a follower of the tradition and custom. The objective evaluation and reinterpretation to him can help students to develop the habit of critical thinking and the courage to pursue truth is case they form a simple thinking mode of the binary opposition.

Analysis of Marx’s Theory of Urban and Rural Integration

Marx’s theory of urban and rural integration is an indispensable part of Marx’s economic theory.Using the basic principles of historical materialism,Marx explored the inevitable law of separation and opposition between urban and rural areas from the contradictory movement of productive forces and production relations,and put forward the theory of urban and rural integration.Analyzing and grasping the scientific connotation of Marx’s theory of urban and rural integration has very important theoretical value and practical significance for promoting the process of China’s urban-rural integration.

A Deconstructive Study of Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told You

Celeste Ng is a contemporary Chinese-American female writer.Her novel Everything I Never Told You won the first place in Amazon.com’s No.1 Best Book of 2014.Her gentle and delicate style of writing,precise and restrained diction and serious themes aroused strong repercussions.This paper is proposed to analyze the deconstruction tendencies of the novel from the perspective of deconstruction,showing absurdities and harm of monism incisively and vividly through the analysis of the following three parts of binary oppositions in the novel:males and females,strong cultures and weak cultures,parents and children,which illustrate the reconstruction rather than destruction and provide the possibility of rebuilding the identity and culture of the Asian-American.

The Burning Love in the Poetry of Emily Dickinson

As a distinguished female poet,Emily Dickinson is considered to write many love poems in her life time.This paper attempts to understand the burning love through the implicit and explicit representation in her love poems.Through the use of the binary opposition and the bold description of the sexual affairs between lovers,the yearning for love is represented in her poems.Whether it is implicit or explicit description,the inequality between the male and the female is fully represented through Dickinson’s love poems.The female not only suffered the emotional repression in a love relationship,but also is reduced to the subordinate social status in every aspects of the Victorian society.

The Relationship between Nature and Human Beings in Wide Sargasso Sea

Famous for giving voice to Bertha, the marginalized mad woman in the attic in Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea is filled with vivid description of nature, which contributes to the successful characterization of main characters and shows the theme of the relationship between nature and human beings. However few attention is paid to that theme. The mythological and archetypal approach is thus adopted to analyze three major characters and fill the gap. Antoinette is viewed as the daughter of nature. Christophine functions as the incarnation of nature. Rochester plays the role of the intruder who does harm to nature. To conclude, Wide Sargasso Sea is not only a criticism of anthropocentrism but also a warning bell to the stereotyped opposition in the western culture. After the successful shaking of the fixed order, Wide Sargasso Sea also drops a hint that there exists the hope to build a new world where human beings and nature, men and women keep a harmonious and balanced relationship.
