On minimizing the number of ADMs in a general topology optical network
No full textAbstractMinimizing the number of electronic switches in optical networks has been a main research topic in some recent studies. In such networks, we assign colors to a given set of lightpaths, and they are partitioned into unicolor cycles and paths; the switching cost is minimized when the number of paths is minimized. Most approximation and heuristic algorithms for this problem have a preprocessing stage, in which possible cycles are found. Among them, the basic algorithm eliminates cycles of size at most l, and has a performance guarantee of OPT+12(1+ϵ)N, where OPT is the cost of an optimal solution, N is the number of lightpaths and 0≤ϵ≤1l+2, for any given odd l. The time complexity of the algorithm is exponential in l. We improve the analysis of this algorithm, by showing that ϵ≤132(l+2), which implies a reduction of the exponent in the time complexity. We also improve the lower bound by showing that ϵ≥12l+3. The results shed more light on the structure of this basic algorithm. In addition, in our analysis we suggest a novel technique–including a new combinatorial lemma–to deal with this problem
Justice and Shalom
No full textLast year, the Office of Inclusive Excellence launched the annual diversity lecture to bring thought leaders to campus who can inspire and challenge us to engage the theological, cultural, and institutional aspects of this work. This annual event is part of a larger effort to establish community rhythms that focus on learning together and living into our diversity commitments as a university.
As we explore this year’s theme, “Justice and Shalom,” we seek to: practice grace-filled and spirit-led intercultural and ecumenical listening and, in doing so, seek a full understanding of God\u27s vision of Shalom for all people and all creation. explore the role of Christian orthodoxy, orthopraxy, and orthopathy in the work of justice. expand our imagination of what can be different coming out of this pandemic time and find application for our Gospel hope.

A Wait-Free Deque With Polylogarithmic Step Complexity
No full textThe amortized step complexity of operations on all previous lock-free implementations of double-ended queues is linear in the number of processes. This paper presents the first concurrent double-ended queue where the amortized step complexity of each operation is polylogarithmic. Since a stack is a special case of a double-ended queue, this is also the first concurrent stack with polylogarithmic step complexity. The implementation is wait-free and the amortized step complexity is O(log² p + log q) per operation, where p is the number of processes and q is the size of the double-ended queue

JESUS, JUSTICE, AND SPECIAL EDUCATION INCLUSION: A CASE FOR THE “SHALOM MODEL OF INCLUSION”
No full textThis paper is a theoretical discourse that proposes a justice-infused, biblically based special education inclusion model, the “Shalom Model of Inclusion.” After discussing justice, inclusion, incarnationality, the Hebrew concept of shalom, and agape love which form the foundational thinking for the proposed “Shalom Model of Inclusion,” the author introduces the central concept of Imago Dei and the four domains of the “Shalom Model of Inclusion” which are: shared curriculum experience, shared strengths and needs, effective and differentiated pedagogy, as well as community and collaborative praxis. The model is illustrated with the love, compassion and collaboration shared in the L’Arche communities where disabilities, instead of being viewed negatively as problems to be solved, are viewed as gifts, and opportunities to learn new ways to love, to be faithful, to live together in recognition of the naturalness and goodness of difference, as well as discover the importance of weakness and vulnerability. L’Arche tangibly demonstrates the practicality and effectiveness of shalom inclusion
Development, shalom, and sport : a biblical perspective.
No full textThesis (M.Th.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2005.This paper examines the following three concepts: development, shalom and sport. It is the findings of this paper that a holistic understanding of the Biblical concept of shalom, provides an appropriate, Christian premise for examining existing development initiatives and for informing intended development praxis.
Furthermore the paper argues that sport is a morally neutral activity, which can have positive influences for society, and is a very effective tool that can be used to pursue a shalom-informed form of development. This is true, regardless of the fact that sport can often be corrupted with negative results.
Finally, sport can aid the church in many ways. In particular, sport is a constructive tool for the church to use with regard to friendship-building, cross-cultural relations and church unity. Furthermore, since the church is a major player in the field of development, when the church uses sport to accomplish the above, development is enhanced. Also, the church can help be a moral voice to the areas of sport that are corrupt and it can support initiatives that provide preventative incentives to negative elements within society
