Parker I am delighted to have been invited to contribute to a volume that honors a scholar as influential as Simo Parpola. Professor Parpola’s contribution to the field of Assyriology, and more specifically to the study of the Assyrian empire, has been nothing short of foundational. The State Archives of Assyria project has made not just a body of material, but practically the entire Neo-Assyrian corpus, easily accessible to a wide audience. It is difficult to imagine now what it must have been like to attempt to compile a book such as Professor Parpola’s own Neo- Assyrian Toponyms, for example, without the aid of the SAA volumes. In addition to collating and translating the corpus of Assyrian documents in the State Archives of Assyria series, the Neo-Assyrian Text Corpus Project has also been responsible for a number of other tools, studies and stand-alone volumes. I might also add that Professor Parpola contributed greatly to my own personal development as a graduate student during the two years, now more than a decade ago, I spent in Helsinki. It is with the utmost respect and gratitude that I offer this paper in his honor as a small token of my appreciation. The Prosopography of the Neo-Assyrian Empire (PNA) was one of the first attempts to globally sort the Corpus of Neo-Assyrian (CNA) database and view the extracted data from a specific standpoint.1 Interestingly, this tool, when used in combination with the texts published in the SAA series and against the backdrop of the various studies mentioned above, has helped pave the way for synthetic research that takes advantage of historical and anthropological methodologies. The purpose of this paper is to attempt such a synthesis by viewing a small set of Neo-Assyrian data through the lens of an historical methodology. This paper is meant to serve first, as a brief example of what can now be done using the Neo-Assyrian data (in large part due to Professor Parpola’s efforts), and second, to act as a corrective for work published in the Prosopography of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. I will consider a small group of texts that are either attributed to, written to, or mention, a particular individual, namely a provincial official calling himself Ašipâ. I will analyze these texts in light of an historical methodology known as “microhistory.” 1 Other early studies using this methodology include Luukko 1997 and Parker 1997b. 180 BRADLEY J. PARKER Simply put, microhistory is the study of small pieces of history. Instead of focusing on nation states, ethnic groups, or

  • The Neo-Caliphate of the “Islamic State”
    CSS Analyses in Security Policy CSS ETH Zurich N0. 166, December 2014, Editor: Christian Nünlist The Neo-Caliphate of the “Islamic State” The so-called “Islamic State” represents a new phase in global jihad, wherein efforts will be made to seize and retain territorial control in the face of overwhelming Western military superiority. While this potentially makes jihadist groups vulnerable to destruction, it also increases the risk of home-grown radicalization as foreign fighters flock to join the new “Caliphate”. By Prem Mahadevan The jihadist takeover of Iraq’s second-larg- est city Mosul in June 2014 sharply focused international attention on the country. Coming at a time when Western policy concerns were oriented towards Ukraine, the South China Sea, Gaza, and Afghani- stan, the takeover’s abruptness came as a surprise. Shortly thereafter, the responsible jihadist group named itself the “Islamic State” (IS) and declared the formation of a new Caliphate, signaling that its ideologi- cal agenda was not confined to distinct po- litical or geographic boundaries. The IS has been since projecting itself as a rival to al- Qaida, by competing for credibility and le- gitimacy among the global jihadist com- munity. The IS is unusual in that, until very recent- ly, it had a record of impressive operational A militant Islamist fighter celebrates the declaration of an Islamic “caliphate” in Syria’s northern success, combined with a slick propaganda Raqqa province in June 2014.

  • Vision Performance Institute
    Vision Performance Institute Technical Report Individual character legibility James E. Sheedy, OD, PhD Yu-Chi Tai, PhD John Hayes, PhD The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the legibility of individual characters. Previous work in our lab [2], including the first study in this sequence, has studied the relative legibility of fonts with different anti- aliasing techniques or other presentation medias, such as paper. These studies have tested the relative legibility of a set of characters configured with the tested conditions. However the relative legibility of individual characters within the character set has not been studied. While many factors seem to affect the legibility of a character (e.g., character typeface, character size, image contrast, character rendering, the type of presentation media, the amount of text presented, viewing distance, etc.), it is not clear what makes a character more legible when presenting in one way than in another. In addition, the importance of those different factors to the legibility of one character may not be held when the same set of factors was presented in another character. Some characters may be more legible in one typeface and others more legible in another typeface. What are the character features that affect legibility? For example, some characters have wider openings (e.g., the opening of “c” in Calibri is wider than the character “c” in Helvetica); some letter g’s have double bowls while some have single (e.g., “g” in Batang vs. “g” in Verdana); some have longer ascenders or descenders (e.g., “b” in Constantia vs.

Tıpkı diğer canlılar gibi insanoğlu da gerek hayatta kalabilmek gerekse daha refah bir yaĢam sürdürebilmek için çeĢitli besin maddelerine ihtiyaç duymuĢtur. Bu ihtiyaçları ise genel olarak üç aĢamada temin etme yoluna gitmiĢtir. Bunlardan birincisi; yaĢadığı coğrafyada bulunan av hayvanlarını avlayarak, ikincisi; doğada yetiĢen doğal besin kaynaklarını toplayarak, üçüncü ve en önemlisi kabul edilen çeĢitli tarım ürünleri yetiĢtirerek ve bazı hayvanları evcilleĢtirerek sağlamıĢtır. Tarım ürünlerinden ise baĢta besin değeri yüksek ve uygun Ģartlar oluĢturulduğunda uzun süre bozulmadan saklanabilen buğday ve arpa gibi tahıl ürünleri önemli bir yere sahip olmuĢtur. Tahıl grubunun yanı sıra çeĢitli meyve ve sebzelerin yetiĢtirilmesi ile coğrafyaya göre uyum sağlayan deve, at, sığır, koyun, keçi, arı ve hatta domuz gibi hayvanların evcilleĢtirilerek etinden ve bu hayvanlardan elde edilen besin maddelerinden yararlanılmıĢtır.

  • Exploring the Interconnectedness of Cryptocurrencies Using Correlation Networks
    Exploring the Interconnectedness of Cryptocurrencies using Correlation Networks Andrew Burnie UCL Computer Science Doctoral Student at The Alan Turing Institute [email protected] Conference Paper presented at The Cryptocurrency Research Conference 2018, 24 May 2018, Anglia Ruskin University Lord Ashcroft International Business School Centre for Financial Research, Cambridge, UK. Abstract Correlation networks were used to detect characteristics which, although fixed over time, have an important influence on the evolution of prices over time. Potentially important features were identified using the websites and whitepapers of cryptocurrencies with the largest userbases. These were assessed using two datasets to enhance robustness: one with fourteen cryptocurrencies beginning from 9 November 2017, and a subset with nine cryptocurrencies starting 9 September 2016, both ending 6 March 2018. Separately analysing the subset of cryptocurrencies raised the number of data points from 115 to 537, and improved robustness to changes in relationships over time. Excluding USD Tether, the results showed a positive association between different cryptocurrencies that was statistically significant. Robust, strong positive associations were observed for six cryptocurrencies where one was a fork of the other; Bitcoin / Bitcoin Cash was an exception. There was evidence for the existence of a group of cryptocurrencies particularly associated with Cardano, and a separate group correlated with Ethereum. The data was not consistent with a token’s functionality or creation mechanism being the dominant determinants of the evolution of prices over time but did suggest that factors other than speculation contributed to the price. Keywords: Correlation Networks; Interconnectedness; Contagion; Speculation 1 1. Introduction The year 2017 saw the start of a rapid diversification in cryptocurrencies.

  • From Function to Flourishing: Neo-Aristotelian Ethics and the Science of Life
    From Function to Flourishing: Neo-Aristotelian Ethics and the Science of Life by Seyedeh Parisa Moosavi Tabatabaei A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy University of Toronto © Copyright 2019 by Seyedeh Parisa Moosavi Tabatabaei From Function to Flourishing: Neo-Aristotelian Ethics and the Science of Life Parisa Moosavi Doctor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Neo-Aristotelian ethical naturalism purports to place moral virtue in the natural world by showing that it is an instance of natural goodness—a kind of goodness supposedly also found in the biological realm of plants and non-human animals. One of the central issues facing this metaethical view concerns its commitment to a teleological conception of the nature of life that seems radically out of touch with the understanding of life in modern biology. In this dissertation, I aim to mend the relationship between neo-Aristotelian ethics and the science of biology by way of three contributions: First, I argue that contrary to what many contemporary neo-Aristotelians have claimed, the science of biology is relevant to assessing central commitments of neo-Aristotelian naturalism regarding the domain of life. Second, I provide new foundations for neo-Aristotelian naturalism by engaging recent and unexplored work in philosophy of biology on theories of function and the nature of living organisms. Lastly, I develop and defend a novel account of the neo-Aristotelian concept of natural goodness that is distinctive for incorporating our scientific understanding of the nature of life. ii Acknowledgments I owe the deepest debt of gratitude to Sergio Tenenbaum and Denis Walsh, whose supervision and support was crucial for the completion of this dissertation.

Many new blockchains have emerged over the last year in a broad spectrum of sectors and use cases including IOT, Energy, Finance, Real estate, Entertainment, etc. Despite many exciting research and applications have been done, there are still many areas worth investigating, and implementation of the blockchain based distributed application are still facing much uncertainty and challenging since blockchain is still an emerging technology. Meanwhile, the energy sector is under a transition to be digitalized and more distributed. A global technology revolution has disrupted the conventional centralized power system with distributed resources and technologies, like photovoltaic units (PV), batteries, electric mobilities, etc. The citizens then have control of their generation and consumption profiles. The purpose of this master thesis is to explore existing blockchain technology, and smart contracts such as IOTA, NEO, Ethereum Tobalaba, which can be adapted in the energy sector. Within this thesis, blockchain and the smart contract is proposed as a way of building distributed applications for a p2p transaction use case in the energy asset management platform.

  • The Prophecy That Is Shaping History
    The Prophecy That Is Shaping History: New Research on Ezekiel’s Vision of the End Jon Mark Ruthven, PhD Ihab Griess, PhD Xulon Press 11350 Random Hills Drive #800 Fairfax, Virginia 22030 Copyright Jon Mark Ruthven © 2003 In memoriam Pamela Jessie Ruthven PhD, LCSW 26 March 1952 – 9 April 2001 Wife, mother, and faithful friend i Preface Great events in history often gather momentum and power long before they are recognized by the experts and commentators on world affairs. Easily one of the most neglected but powerfully galvanizing forces shaping history in the world today is the prophecy of Gog and Magog from the 38th and 39th chapters of the book of Ezekiel. This prophecy from the Jewish-Christian Bible has molded geo-politics, not only with- in the United States and the West but also, to an amazing degree, in the Muslim world as well. It seems that, millennia ago, Ezekiel’s vision actually named the nation which millions today believe plays the major role in this prophecy: the nation of Russia. Many modern scholars have dismissed Ezekiel’s Gog and Magog prophecy as a mystical apocalypse written to vindicate the ancient claims of a minor country’s deity. The very notion of such a prediction—that semi-mythical and unrelated nations that dwelt on the fringes of Israel’s geographical consciousness 2,500 years ago would, “in the latter days,” suddenly coalesce into a tidal wave of opposition to a newly regathered state of Jews—seems utterly incredible to a modern mentality. Such a scenario, the experts say, belongs only to the fundamentalist “pop religion” of The Late, Great Planet Earth and of TV evangelists.
