Download or read book Washington DC Murals written by Vito L. Tanzi and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases some of my favorite Murals from Washington DC. 2020 was a very strange year with the pandemic effecting all of us. It was also a time of tremendous uncertainty. That uncertainly is reflected in the many DC Murals that have appeared across Washington DC. While many of the murals are just beautiful pieces of art, many of them reflect the struggles that our society is facing. Some of the central themes are Black Lives Matter, DC Statehood, and Women's rights. The artists that create these amazing pieces are truly inspiring. The murals reflect raw emotions and provide a reflection of society. While murals use to be dismissed as not real artwork this is no longer the case. The city of Washington DC has embraced murals and even has created a website with maps and information on the artist. The murals are a "visual documentation of Washington, DC's rich history."The murals are found all over the city and help beautify the city. While most of the artists are local many of the murals are created by international artists as well.

Download or read book Music Inspired Harmony Search Algorithm written by Zong Woo Geem and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-05-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calculus has been used in solving many scientific and engineering problems. For optimization problems, however, the differential calculus technique sometimes has a drawback when the objective function is step-wise, discontinuous, or multi-modal, or when decision variables are discrete rather than continuous. Thus, researchers have recently turned their interests into metaheuristic algorithms that have been inspired by natural phenomena such as evolution, animal behavior, or metallic annealing. This book especially focuses on a music-inspired metaheuristic algorithm, harmony search. Interestingly, there exists an analogy between music and optimization: each musical instrument corresponds to each decision variable; musical note corresponds to variable value; and harmony corresponds to solution vector. Just like musicians in Jazz improvisation play notes randomly or based on experiences in order to find fantastic harmony, variables in the harmony search algorithm have random values or previously-memorized good values in order to find optimal solution.

Download or read book Mutuality written by Roger Sanjek and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people do social-cultural anthropology? Beyond professional career motivations, what values underpin anthropologists' commitments to lengthy training, fieldwork, writing, and publication? Mutuality explores the values that anthropologists bring from their wider social worlds, including the value placed on relationships with the people they study, work with, write about and for, and communicate with more broadly. In this volume, seventeen distinguished anthropologists draw on personal and professional histories to describe avenues to mutuality through collaborative fieldwork, community-based projects and consultations, advocacy, and museum exhibits, including the American Anthropological Association's largest public outreach ever—the RACE: Are We So Different? project. Looking critically at obstacles to reciprocally beneficial engagement, the contributors trace the discipline's past and current relations with Native Americans, indigenous peoples exhibited in early twentieth-century world's fairs, and racialized populations. The chapters range widely—across the Punjabi craft caste, Filipino Igorot, and Somali Bantu global diasporas; to the Darfur crisis and conciliation efforts in Sudan and Qatar; to applied work in Panama, Micronesia, China, and Peru. In the United States, contributors discuss their work as academic, practicing, and public anthropologists in such diverse contexts as Alaskan Yup'ik communities, multiethnic New Mexico, San Francisco's Japan Town, Oakland's Intertribal Friendship House, Southern California's produce markets, a children's ward in a Los Angeles hospital, a New England nursing home, and Washington D.C.'s National Mall. Deeply personal as well as professionally astute, Mutuality sheds new light on the issues closest to the present and future of contemporary anthropology.
