The Nature, Structure, and Perception of Illumination
ABSTRACT Illumination is a defining characteristic of natural environments, yet its nature and spatial structure remain poorly understood. I argue first that illumination is not simply light: it is an emergent, ecologically significant kind. Illumination has features not possessed by light, and contains self‐organizing structures that persist through ...

Short Abstract 1940 saw the mass internment of so‐called ‘enemy aliens’ within Britain; this meant that innocent civilians were incarcerated in camps across the country, particularly within the tourist spaces of the Isle of Man. We interrogate how the holiday—as a geography of ideas, spaces, practices movements and sensibilities—became a frame of ...

Searching for the multiple longest common subsequences (MLCS) has significant applications in the areas of bioinformatics, information processing, and data mining, and so forth, Although a few parallel MLCS algorithms have been proposed, the efficiency and effectiveness of the algorithms are not satisfactory with the increasing complexity and size of ...

Abstract Hulu's Prey (2022), the fifth installment of the Predator franchise, is set in 1719 and features a Comanche female protagonist. The setting is unlike the 1987 Predator and its sequels, with their hardbody machismo and conservative politics. We argue that Prey is a small but significant step in Hollywood, but its inclusivity comes at a price ...

Hunger, homeostasis, and desire
Hunger is a psychological state that serves physiological energy homeostasis. I argue that it is a pure underived desire to eat and examine its role in homeostasis. After scene‐setting explanations of homeostasis and desire, I argue that hunger is a close phenomenological match with underived desire.

An Optimal Parallel Algorithm for the Longest Common Subsequence Problem on CREW-PRAM Model
A subsequence of a given string is any string obtained by deleting none or some symbols from the given string. A longest common subsequence of two strings is a common subsequence of both that is as long as any other common subsequences. The longest commons subsequence problem is to find a longest common subsequence of two given strings.

The All Nearest Smaller Values Problem Revisited in Practice, Parallel and External Memory
We present a thorough investigation of the All Nearest Smaller Values (ANSV) problem from a practical perspective. The ANSV problem is defined as follows: given an array A consisting of n values, for each entry A_i compute the largest index l < i and the
