We often invoke the “magic” of mass media to describe seductive advertising or charismatic politicians. In The Mana of Mass Society, William Mazzarella asks what happens to social theory if we take that idea seriously. How would it change our understanding of publicity, propagan…

In recent years, we have witnessed a rapid expansion of using super-thin metasurfaces to manipulate light or electromagnetic wave in a subwavelength scale. However, most designs are confined to a passive scheme and monofunctional operation, which hinders considerably the promisi…
Our knowledge of the world comes from various sources. But it is sometimes said that testimony, unlike other sources, transmits knowledge from one person to another. In this book, Stephen Wright investigates what the transmission of knowledge involves and the role that it should…

Our knowledge of the world comes from various sources. But it is sometimes said that testimony, unlike other sources, transmits knowledge from one person to another. In this book, Stephen Wright investigates what the transmission of knowledge involves and the role that it should…
The Transmission Expansion Planning Problem was solved using the Artificial Intelligent (AI) methods. These methods combine three techniques, which are Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Tabu Search (TS). The main goal is to minimize the investment and t…
The present study attempts to trace the composition and transmission of the Book of Amos in general and Amos 5:25–27 and 9:11–15 in particular. It argues that Amos 9:11–15 reflects a later redaction during the seventh century BCE which is characterized by its positive portrayal …
I studied ecological factors affecting transmission dynamics of Baylisascaris procyonis, the common large roundworm of raccoons ( Procyon lotor) to intermediate hosts. Infective eggs of B. procyonis are present at raccoon latrines, and these sites may be important in the transmi…
A novel continuously variable transmission has previously been designed that is capable of addressing a number of concerns within the automotive industry such as reduced emissions. At the commencement of this research, the design was in the early stages of development and little…
The use of patterned metallic surfaces for the control of the transmission of microwave radiation has been reinvigorated in recent years due to the success and interest in metamaterial research. These metallic periodic structures, commonly referred to as frequency selective scre…
Influenza A virus causes disease across a broad host range including avian and mammalian species. Most influenza viruses are found in wild aquatic birds, are of low consequence and refrain from zoonotic transmission. However, some strains occasionally cross the species barrier, …
Prediction of water-borne diseases is a critical aspect especially for developing countries. The current study focuses on cholera since it is considered to be a continuous public health threat. Vibrio cholerae , causative agent of cholera, is an autochthonous bacterial inhabitan…
Due to the restricted host specificity of dengue virus, up until now no ideal animal model has sufficiently mimicked key aspects of viral pathogenesis and immune response. In this regard, new advances with humanized mice(hu-mice), constructed by engrafting human tissues and cell…
As we known, infectious diseases can be transmitted from one region to another due to extensive travel and migration. Meanwhile, different regions have different demographic and epidemiological characteristics. To capture these features, multi-patch epidemic models have been dev…
This dissertation examines legends about the transmission, destruction, and restoration of the Homeric epics and the Hebrew Bible. I document how ancient literary historians conceived of the origins of their sacred and traditional texts, and argue that the notion of the “author”…
The perceptions of African Americans regarding the intergenerational transmission of racism through various methods, especially, in education was the focus of this study. The purpose was to advance a deeper understanding of the perceptions of the transmission of racism through e…
