“The Pondering Repose of If”: Herman Melville’s Literary Exegesis
No full textThis study examines how Herman Melville’s oeuvre interacts with Old Testament (OT) wisdom literature (the Books of Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes). Using recent historical findings on the rise of religious skepticism and the erosion of Biblical authority in both Europe and the United States, I read Melville as an author steeped in the theological controversies of the eighteenth-century. Specifically, I am interested in teasing out the surprising disavowals of overt religious skepticism in Melville’s writing. By tracing the so-called Solomonic wisdom tradition throughout Melville’s oeuvre, I argue that Melville had developed an epistemology of contemplation towards that body of Biblical texts. Scholarship has traditionally painted Melville as a subversive if not downright skeptical religious thinker. Most studies have produced authorial readings, using texts as forensic evidence to make assertions about the author’s psychology. Incidentally, such assessments have confirmed the narrative of Herman Melville as a grand failed author of the nineteenth century, while ignoring the ambivalent attitudes toward Biblical authority, textual history, and skepticism that emerge in Melville’s writing. The present study intervenes by re-addressing several procedural questions about Melville’s literary dealings with the Bible: How does Melville deal with the distinct topics of religion, theology, religious skepticism, and doubt? How does he think through the relationship between science and religion as well as that of personal religion and theology? I claim that Melville’s work can be read as a continuous contemplation of Biblical wisdom. His writing, I argue, deals productively rather than a destructive with the Bible, its textual history, and authority. Melville’s thinking on theological and religious subjects was not merely subversive but constructive. In mounting this argument, I contradict current scholarship that reads Melville as trying to invent a new American Bible. In contrast, I show how Melville’s philosophical forays, even when critical, are dependent on the ethics, language, and thinking of the OT.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Englis

SKEMA KEAMANAN STEGANOGRAFI PADA CASCADING STYLE SHEET MENGGUNAKAN SISTEM KRIPTOGRAFI KUNCI PUBLIK
No full textDalam beberapa tahun terakhir, dunia pemrograman telah diperkenalkan kepada bahasa
pemrograman baru dalam hal perancangan situs web, yakni CSS, yang dapat digunakan bersama
dengan HTML untuk pengembangan antarmuka situs web. Sekarang, kedua bahasa
pemrograman tersebut seakan tak terpisahkan satu sama lain. Sebagai sebuah client-side
scripting, kode sumber CSS dapat terlihat oleh semua pengguna sebagaimana naskah aslinya,
namun tidak dapat diubah begitu saja. Situs web sebagai alat penyebar informasi ke seluruh
dunia, tentu saja dapat digunakan untuk berkomunikasi secara rahasia dengan memanfaatkan
CSS sebagai penyembunyi pesannya. Penelitian ini mengusulkan skema baru untuk
menyembunyikan informasi dengan memanfaatkan berkas situs web seperti CSS. Mekanisme
komunikasi rahasia ini menggunakan teknik steganografi teks dengan media penutup berupa
berkas CSS yang digabungkan dengan menggunakan algoritma kriptografi kunci publik RSA
sebagai sistem enkripsinya. Hasil akhir dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa informasi dapat
disisipkan pada berkas CSS, dan maksimum informasi yang dapat ditampung oleh berkas
penutup dimodelkan dengan persamaan yang lebih spesifik. Model persamaan juga telah
dibuktikan melalui pengujian pada berkas CSS yang berisi 760 baris semicolon, dengan
pemilihan bilangan p dan q yang bervariasi antara 5 hingga 40 digit angka, diperoleh rentang
antara 56 hingga 72 karakter untuk maksimum informasi yang dapat ditampung

The Most Famous Writer of the Low Countries: Herman Brusselmans Star Author and (Reluctant) Public Intellectual
No full textAbstractThe Flemish writer Herman Brusselmans is the most famous author of the Low Countries. In this article, Herman Brusselmans is analysed as a star author. First and foremost, two striking aspects of Brusselmans’s stardom are analysed: his public visibility and the cult of the private. Attention is then focused on Brusselmans’s experience of celebrity, which he - like many other star authors - thematises in his books. Doing so, he consciously places himself in the context of popular culture. On the other hand, as a result of his celebrity status he has been expected - particularly in the last few years - to assume the role of public intellectual willy-nilly, and this in turn has had consequences for his work.</jats:p
Chlorophyll Segmentation Of Satellite Image With Region-Based Active Contours
No full textIn image processing, segmentation is a complex task that requires the use of an accurate method. Interpretation of satellite image today is important in remote sensing tasks. A defined area of satellite image segmentation to be performed. The purpose of this study was to use a method for extracting boundary Active Contours of chlorophyll from satellite imagery, so it can be known areas that contain chlorophyll and areas that do not contain chlorophyll. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method of segmentation between the chlorophyll and the surrounding areas that contain little or no chlorophyll
ANALISIS KOMPLEKSITAS WAKTU ALGORITMA KRIPTOGRAFI ELGAMAL DAN DATA ENCRYPTION STANDARD
No full textElGamal as an asymmetric key cryptography
system and Data Encryption Standard (DES) as a symmetric
key cryptography system, both of algorithms will be
compared using the time complexity analysis and computer
simulation. The result of time analysis shows a dif erent
complexity for both algorithms, there is quadratic
complexity for ElGamal Algorithm and Linear Complexity
for DES algorithm. Input that is used by ElGamal algorithm
is the private key, while for DES algorithm is the plaintext’s
size. Based on result of simulation using a computer program, it shows a significant timing dif erences, ElGamal’s time execution is longer than DES. This is
caused by dif erences of arithmetic operations that is used
