There is always the ideology that all Africans, no matter where they find themselves around the world, are bound together by their traditional cultures and diasporic experiences. This paper ...

Nationalism is a significant transitional power in the annals of history. Though the concept of loyalty is generally believed to be of a more contemporary vintage, theories as to the actual origins and the development of nationalism as a concept abound. Allegiance in the Arab world and the Palestinians in particular, have remained unexamined not due to lack of significance, but due to deliberate omission. Those who hold that nationalism comes about as a natural sociological process cannot sufficiently expound the segregation of the United States and Britain or the union of the English and French quarters ...

One of the challenges identified by Tong et al., (2012) regarding the Microsoft’s Kinect system was that it achieved a coarse depth. However, the combination of the depth frames from the Microsoft’s Kinect system for polarized photographs shows that Microsoft’s Kinect systems have ...

Almost a century ago, a majority of the Arabs were part of the Ottoman Caliphate or the Ottoman Empire, which is actually a vast multi-ethnic state based out of Istanbul. Currently, the Arab political map appears more like a highly complicated jigsaw puzzle. A manifold and convoluted course of incidents that took place during the early 1910s brought the Ottomans Empire to an end, while also resulting in the emergence of many new states whose borders apparently spread throughout the Middle ...
