With a Java String, we have to use an array of size 256; with Alphabet, we just need an array with one entry for each alphabet character. This savings might seem modest, but, as you will see, our algorithms can produce huge numbers of such arrays, and the space for arrays of size 256 can be prohibitive. Numbers. As you can see from our several of the standard Alphabet examples, we of- ten represent numbers as strings. The methods toIndices() coverts any String over a given Alphabet into a base-R number represented as an int[] array with all values between 0 and RϪ1. In some situations, doing this conversion at the start leads to com- pact code, because any digit can be used as an index in a character-indexed array. For example, if we know that the input consists only of characters from the alphabet, we could replace the inner loop in Count with the more compact code int[] a = alpha.toIndices(s); for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) count[a[i]]++; Review: summary of the performance of sorting algorithms Key-indexed counting: assumptions about keys Frequency of operations.

  • Last and First Men
    LAST AND FIRST MEN A STORY OF THE NEAR AND FAR FUTURE by W. Olaf Stapledon Project Gutenburg PREFACE THIS is a work of fiction. I have tried to invent a story which may seem a possible, or at least not wholly impossible, account of the future of man; and I have tried to make that story relevant to the change that is taking place today in man's outlook. To romance of the future may seem to be indulgence in ungoverned speculation for the sake of the marvellous. Yet controlled imagination in this sphere can be a very valuable exercise for minds bewildered about the present and its potentialities. Today we should welcome, and even study, every serious attempt to envisage the future of our race; not merely in order to grasp the very diverse and often tragic possibilities that confront us, but also that we may familiarize ourselves with the certainty that many of our most cherished ideals would seem puerile to more developed minds. To romance of the far future, then, is to attempt to see the human race in its cosmic setting, and to mould our hearts to entertain new values. But if such imaginative construction of possible futures is to be at all potent, our imagination must be strictly disciplined. We must endeavour not to go beyond the bounds of possibility set by the particular state of culture within which we live. The merely fantastic has only minor power. Not that we should seek actually to prophesy what will as a matter of fact occur; for in our present state such prophecy is certainly futile, save in the simplest matters.

The figure of the “metahuman,” the human with superpowers and purpose, embodies the transfigured nerd whose defects—intellect, swarm-behavior, abnormality, flux, and love of machines—become virtues of survival in the twenty-first century. The conflict among capitalism, fascism, and communism, which drove the Cold War and its immediate aftermath, also drove the Golden and Silver Ages of Comics. In the era of planetary emergency, these forces reconfigure themselves as different versions of world-destruction. The metahuman also signifies going “beyond” these economic and political systems into orders that preserve democracy without destroying the biosphere. Therefore, the styles of metahuman figuration represent an appeal to tradition and a technique of transformation. I call these strategies the iconic style and metamorphic style. The iconic style, more typical of DC Comics, makes the hero an icon of virtue, and metahuman powers manifest as visible signs: the “S” of Superman, the tiara and golden lasso of Wonder Woman.

It was only after several months that I could return to the work in order, with occasional interruptions, to bring this book to a class. The course of recent events did not minister to the uniformity of this work. It was rendered more difficult by the fact that, as time went on, the examination of this subject shifted itself to some extent.

  • Dr. Hedgewar the Epoch Maker
    Dr. Hedgewar The Epoch Maker Chapter-1: BLOSSOMING BUD Hundreds of villages and cities all over Bharat had gone gay with festivities that day. Banners and buntings adorned public places, and trumpets blew. There were processions and adulatory speeches everywhere. Sweets were distributed to boys and the poor were fed. The elite were accorded distinctions, and titles conferred on scholars. While the elders themselves were so jubilant, what to speak of young children? There was an endless flow of sweets and the children were exuberant. The ‘grand’ occasion was the 60th anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Queen Victoria- 22nd June 1897. But one small boy-just eight years of age-remained sullen, sad. Though convivial by nature, he refused to join the other boys in the school celebration. He quietly came home, threw away the sweets in a corner and sat down depressed. Surprised at this stance, his elder brother asked him, “Keshav, didn’t you get the sweets?” Keshav answered, “of course, I got it. But, our Bhonsle dynasty was liquidated by these Britishers. How can we participate in these imperial celebrations?” It was this instinctive patriotism which in later days blossomed and burst forth in all its radiance in the form of the peerless patriot and incomparable moulder of men. Dr. Keshav Baliram hedgewar. The hedgewar family originally hailed from Kandkurti village in telangana- a village with a population of just over two thousand. Kandkurti is in the Bodhana tehsil in the Indore (Nizamabad) district, situated on the border between Andhra and Maharashtra. Near the village is the sacred confluence of Godavari, Vanjra and Haridra rivers.

I couldn’t have done my Ph.D. without them, and I wouldn’t have wanted to. First I thank my advisors, Marc Kamionkowski and Richard Ellis. No one benefited as I did from their arrivals after my first year. Both were always full advisors to me, even though I wasn’t a full student for either. I am eternally grateful for their patience and impatience, and most of all for putting up with me for the better part of four years. I learned so much from them, but what really stands out is what they both taught me about effective communication. My collaborators were important contributors to this thesis, both through their work on the papers that make up the chapters, and through all that I learned from them over the years. Avi Loeb was friendly and supportive from start to finish of my Ph.D. Volker Bromm was an encouraging and patient guide through the process of writing my first paper. Jean-Paul Kneib and Johan Richard enthusiastically made crucial contributions to the critical-line mapping project. Before Marc and Richard, my first Caltech advisor was George Djorgovski. Though we didn’t end up working together, my interest in galaxy formation started with reading I did under George’s supervision and support, which I happily acknowledge.
