Saint Augustine's Critical Judgment of the Pagan Writers
No full textThe following is an attempt to study Saint Augustine’s attitude toward the Greek and Latin pagan writers. An effort has been made to record all of the direct quotations of the pagan authors used by Saint Augustine in the twenty-two books of his Be Civitate Dei. |I have undertaken to emphasize the fact that the number of times an author has been quoted and the manner in which each author has been described somewhat emphasizes Augustine’s judgment of them. |Therefore, with the chart containing the above mentioned information, I have included short commentaries and recordings of those quotations to indicate Augustine’s appraisal of those who were responsible for them.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
The Alcott Home in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women
No full textTime and again writers of fiction have divulged the sources of their story material. Even a cursory glance at these occasional confessions reveals that authors utilize a surprising amount of their personal experiences. Especially do they treat successfully in fictional presentation the happenings of their early life. Indeed, some of the best stories and novels and poems are end-products of childhood activities, thoughts, and imaginative flights. One case in point is that perennial favorite of children and adults alike--Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. Here if ever is an instance where the author first lived all that she later transmuted into a narrative of irresistible and unfading charm. |The impact of the Alcott family life was strong upon every one of its members. But we are here mainly concerned with the impressionability of Louisa May. We are furthermore interested not only in how she received impressions but in how she used them for artistic purposes, For this reason we need a survey of the beginning and growth of the whole Alcott family. More specifically, consideration shall be given to the family in general, to the Alcott parents and daughters in particular, to the emergence and development of literary talent in Louisa May, to the manifestation of this talent in Little Women, and finally to a critical evaluation of the famous hook as the synthesis and exemplification of wholesome family living. |ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
Some aspects of Lactantius's credibility as seen in the De Mortibus Persecutorum
No full textThe purpose of the present work is to determine through a comparative study of the works of other men the historical accuracy of Lactantius in his De Mortibus Persecutorum. I shall first set forth a biographical sketch of the author, then consider the following questions: What factors may have influenced the thinking of Lactantius? In what points and to what extent does Lactantius agree with other historians? Where does he differ? Along this procedure, I shall follow Lactantius in his treatment of the persecution and the death of the Roman emperors -- Nero, Domitian, Decius, Valerian, Aurelian, and Diocletian with his associates. The Diocletian persecution, however, I shall treat at a greater length.RAL Thesis 1951 S3

No full textOn 24 March, in a bid to stop the spread of Covid-19, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a complete lockdown of the country. In response, millions of migrant workers left their jobs and began to return to their home villages - but why? Here Sugandha Nagpal (O.P. Jindal Global University, India) and Vatsalya Srivastava argue why most interpretations of their motivations to head home maybe wrong
Time Measurements of Software Cryptographic Algorithms for Real-time Transmission of Information
No full textAbstract—In recent years, much of the information exchange is done with the use of PC’s. This increase in PC usage leads to an increase in illegal information leakage and eavesdropping. To protect the information (data) measures must be taken to ensure security. A way to enforce protection is by the application of cryptography. We have used DES and RSA as cryptographic algorithms. We have focused on software programs of these algorithms. These cryptographic algorithms are programmed in C++ and Matlab.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceTelecommunicatie- en Verkeersbegeleidingssysteme

Cast in-situ Cu-TiC Composites: Synthesis by SHS Route and Characterization
No full textThe present investigation discusses observations pertaining to the synthesis of Cu-based composites containing TiC particles in the range of 45–50 volume % by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) process. A composite with 11–13 volume % TiC dispersion was also synthesized through remelting and dilution. The composites were observed to contain a copper matrix together with a Cu–Ti intermetallic\ud
compound, TiC dispersoid particles and partially reacted graphite. The regions showing partially reacted graphite (carbon) became less prominent in the diluted omposites. Al addition led to the refinement of TiC particles, higher hardness, reduced density and improved degree of formation and better homogeneity of the distribution of TiC particles. Dilution caused reduced hardness, while the density followed a reverse trend
