Critique of 'The New 2.6 Scheduler' by Rick Lindsley
by Brian Vuyk, student at Redeemer University College
Introduction In recent years, the adoption of the Linux operating system into the desktop and server markets has increased at a nearly exponential rate. Linux has begun to fill many of the roles previously occupied by other operating systems. Linux is now being installed on many servers and other utility machines performing such tasks as CGI or CAD. These systems, as well as many modern desktop systems, typically contain multiple processors or processors containing multiple cores. In a recent paper (Lindsley, Rick. The New 2.6 Scheduler, Linux Journal, March 2004.), Rick Lindsley examines the flaws in the 2.4 Linux kernel scheduler, and the differences between scheduler in the 2.4 series kernels, and the 2.6 series. Optical Character Recognition Through the Use of a Kohonen Neural Network
Brian Vuyk, student at Redeemer University College
April 12, 2006 Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a field in computer science, which throughout the latter half of the 20th century received much attention from the scientific community. The ability of a computer to read a series of characters, determine their meaning, and take appropriate action based on the interpreted meaning was a goal sought after, due in part to the high value of the commercial applications of these techniques. For example, OCR was deemed to be of great value within the postal system, in which typically millions of envelopes must be read and sorted daily, to determine their delivery location. There was also great demand in the corporate world to have the ability to digitize older documents, so that they may be more easily read and modified. Within libraries and other educational institutions, there existed a desire to digitize old books, in order to better store their content. Another use of OCR is to determine the handwriting impressed with a stylus in many personal planners and PDAs.1 Lycopene and Tomato Juice
Tomato Juice, as we all know, is a juice made from squeezed tomatoes. For alot of us, it is a delicious beverage which we regularily encounter at weddings, and other special occasions. We may encounter it in such drinks as the Bloody Mary. It is also the official beverage of the State of Ohio.
Tomato Juice has many health benefits. Besides the high levels of Vitamin C which are found in all tomato products, tomato juice also contains an antioxidant called lycopene.
Lycopene is a bright red carotenoid pigment, phound in tomatoes and a variety of other red fruit. Lycopene is good for us in many ways. For example, lycopene has been linked to reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer (especially prostrate cancer), osteoperosis, and possibly male infertility.
Classical Gnosticismby Brian Vuyk, student at Redeemer University College Introduction In the first few centuries of the Church's existence, Gnosticism was a threat. It attacked many of the doctrines which we take for granted, such as those dealing with the nature of God, and Jesus, and the role of Jesus in God's redemptive plan, and directly attacked our doctrines of the sufficiency of scripture. Gnosticism as a type of theology can be described as “Salvation by Knowledge”. The tern 'Gnosticism' is derived from the Greek word for knowledge: gnosis.1 Most Gnostics did not expressly refer to them selves as such; rather, this name was in most cases applied by early Christian fathers such as Irenaeus of Lyons to refer to those sects which held an emphasis on such a deeper knowledge, among other characteristics.2 Franz Joseph Haydnby Brian Vuyk Franz Joseph Haydn was one of the most influential and remarkable musicians of the Classical era. Haydn’s life is the story of how the son of a wheelwright from a little Austrian town rose to become one of the most prolific composers the world has ever seen. Haydn not only wrote a lot of music, including 104 symphonies and 68 string quartets, but he wrote them well. He was known largely for his symphonies, but also for his other works, and most notably for his master piece, the three-act oratorio entitled “The Creation.” Open Sourced Socialismby Brian Vuyk, student at Redeemer University College In the early nineteenth century, Claude Henri de Rouvroy proposed a reorganization of society by scientists and industrialists on the basis of a scientific division of labor, which would result in automatic and spontaneous social harmony. In later years, along with other thinkers such as Charles Fourier and Robert Owen, his ideas would be built upon by Karl Marx into the ideologies which today we term “Marxism”, or socialism. Many people view socialism as a failed Utopian idea. It works well in theory; it failed in practice. Real people look out for themselves, not the good of the community. Sociologists agreed; many communities based on these principles were experimented with in the 1960’s. Most failed, as personal pride, and lust for power prevented people from truly working for the good of the community. Philosophical Implications of Mathematicsby: Brian Vuyk, student at Redeemer University College
Mathematics, as defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica is the ‘Science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects.’ For thousands of years many scholars have struggled to understand the nature of the world around us, and the reality we are presented with. Because the nature of this study is to understand and define what we understand as reality, there is a certain measure of philosophical implications present, concerning not only the nature of our world, but also the nature of mathematics as a system of study and reality. During the course of study of geometry, we are introduced to two main systems of geometry: Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry. Both of these systems are equally consistent, relying on each other for proof of the consistency of the other.1 Only one of these geometries may hold in any given system; there are theorems in each that would contradict if both geometries were to hold with equal authority2. This leads, however, to the question of which of these geometries holds true in the world around us? The History of the Parallel Postulateby Brian Vuyk, student at Redeemer University College The parallel postulate, the fifth and final postulate given by Euclid in his Elements, is one of the most controversial topics in the history of Mathematics. The complexity and length of Euclid’s fifth postulate stands in high contrast to the simplicity and brevity of the preceding four. This has lead to thousands of years of controversy to the point of obsession for mathematicians across the world. Thousands of man-hours have been spent in the attempt to find a method of expressing the parallel postulate in terms of the previous four postulates. This has resulted, however, in an entirely new branch of geometry, termed ‘neutral geometry’, which in entirety may be completely proved using only Euclid’s first four postulates. |
