War, Nature and Resilience: Eco-Critical Poetics of Selected Texts by Anthony Doerr
No full textAll the Light We Cannot See (2014) and The Shell Collector Short Stories (2011) by Anthony Doerr depicts each gender\u27s eco-consciousness in relation to their interaction with the environment. This paper puts forward the contention that Anthony Doerr expresses his spiritual ecofeminist philosophy through his writings and portrays his women more interconnected with nature than men. His female characters are involved in deeds of nurture and subsiding of war and show a better tendency to conserve nature. Their interconnectedness with nature results in nature favoring their well-being and survival. The male characters are portrayed as perpetrators of environmental injustice and eco-crisis and hence, nature does not favor the well-being of male characters. This paper discusses selected texts by Anthony Doerr in the light of spiritual ecofeminist theory by Starhawk. It employs Blue Criticism, Critical Animal Studies, Green Criticism, environmental injustice and eco-crisis as sub-theories to deconstruct the impact of each gender on its surroundings. The text is deconstructed to demonstrate that the text has irreconcilably contradictory meanings rather than a unified, logical whole. In Anthony Doerr\u27s ecological realm, women are much closer to nature than men. Therefore, Anthony Doerr, through his literary texts, reveals that the resilience and survival of women in the selected texts is a metaphor for the resilience of Mother Earth.
Evolutionary algorithms and dynamic programming
No full textRecently, it has been proven that evolutionary algorithms produce good results for a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. Some of the considered problems are tackled by evolutionary algorithms that use a representation, which enables them to construct solutions in a dynamic programming fashion. We take a general approach and relate the construction of such algorithms to the development of algorithms using dynamic programming techniques. Thereby, we give general guidelines on how to develop evolutionary algorithms that have the additional ability of carrying out dynamic programming steps.Benjamin Doerr, Anton Eremeev, Christian Horoba, Frank Neumann and Madeleing Theil

Constructing the Heritage Language Learner : Knowledge, Power and New Subjectivities /
No full textThough often treated as an objective category, heritage language learner is a social construct contested by researchers, government officials, school administrators, and students themselves. Based on ethnographic fieldwork at a Japanese language school in the US, the book examines the construction of the heritage language learner, viewing the notion as a site of negotiation regarding the legitimate knowledge of language and ways of belonging.Though often treated as an objective category, heritage language learner is a social construct contested by researchers, government officials, school administrators, and students themselves.

Theory of Evolutionary Algorithms (Dagstuhl Seminar 15211)
No full textThis report documents the talks and discussions at the Dagstuhl Seminar 15211 "Theory of Evolutionary Algorithms". This seminar, now in its 8th edition, is the main meeting point of the highly active theory of randomized search heuristics subcommunities in Australia, Asia, North America, and Europe. Topics intensively discussed include rigorous runtime analysis and computational complexity theory for randomised search heuristics, information geometry of randomised search, and synergies between the theory of evolutionary algorithms and theories of natural evolution
Detecting BGP Origin Hijacks: Using a filter-based approach
No full textMany processes rely on the availability of the Internet. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is widely used for exchanging routing information between routers and is essential for the successful operation of the Internet. Because BGP has not been designed with security in mind, BGP anomalies such as origin hijacks, route leaks, and link failure often occur. This research proposes a detection system for detecting origin hijacks, which is one of themost common anomalies seen on the Internet. Our detection system uses a filter-based approach. Each filter attempts to validate announcements seen by our detection system. Announcements that could not be verified by any filter are seen as origin hijacks. Because of this approach, origin hijacks that would otherwise be missed by other solutions will be detected. We use multiple data sources such as RIR Statistics Exchange Format Listings (RSEF), routing registries, RPKI Route Origin Authorizations (ROAs) and CAIDA’s AS relationship dataset in order to validate announcements. Upon running our detection system on 29 days of BGP traffic, we were able to detect 902 origin hijacks. 83% of the detected origin hijacks had a lifespan of fewer than 2.5 hours which strongly suggests that these were undesired announcements
Extending Honeytrap with Lua scripting: Honeytrap LUA implementation
No full textThis report describes the process, motivation and design choices made during the Bachelor End Project in collaboration with DutchSec. The project consists of implementing Lua-scripting into Honeytrap, which is programmed in Go. The following chapters will discuss which design choices were made, how the research was performed and how the final functionalities were implemented. A detailed system verification is done with proof of added value and besides that the system testing methods are described. Furthermore a conclusion is given that discusses what the project has achieved, what the use-cases are and whether it does what the client wants it to do.Computer Scienc
The Impacts on Sisterhood for Women Survival during World War II as Reflected in All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony doerr
No full textThis thesis analyzes a novel by Anthony Doerr entitled All the Light We Cannot See by using feminist approach. The focus of this research is the impact on sisterhood for women and society survival during World War II in Germany and France as depicted by Doerr in several female characters in the story. This study uses the Image of Women theory by Josephine Donovan about how a male author describes the position of women in his work. The data of this research are analyzed by qualitative methods and the results of the research are presented with descriptive methods. The data of the research is collected from the novel as a primary data along with books, articles, journals, and essays relating to the research. After analyzing the novel, the writer concludes that women build their sisterhood to strengthen each other during World War II by creating good relationship among women, supporting each other to face the war, and resisting war. Then the authors also find three impacts on sisterhood for women and society, they are; braver society, stronger society, and confident society. Doerr also shows to the reader about how the female characters in the novel look powerful as depicted by a small and blind girl who can survive until she gets older.
