Time Magazine All Time 100 Novels

In a recent search to find the All Time greatest books, I stumbled upon many lists. However I find this list pretty realistic and fair. Honestly I haven't read all the books on that Top Ten...

    True amazing book by a legend... considered the best book of the 19th century so you did choose a good book to read. I think it is tough to claim that particular books are the 100 All Time best, personal tastes is a huge factor. Personally I am a fan of George Orwell, and Animal Farm is a must read Zein :)

    Well said "the personal taste is a factor'. I read Orwell`s and Fitzgerald`s books from the list and they are of great value to me. I would "The Science Fiction of Edgar Allan Poe" by E.A. Poe. He is linguistically skilled.

    If the list was covering a larger time period, I would also add J. Austen, Bernard Shaw, Dickens and of course without some non - English publications, the list would go off half-cooked.

      Also, it is important to note that the success of one's publication or book is sometimes based whether or not there is a screenplay or a movie. And if so, if it was any good. I am currently reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu and inspecting how it was used in modern wars (mainly WW2 and Vietnam). I hope to make an analogy between his teachings and how university students should change their strategies during their pre and post college years.

WASET Conference is a FAKE

Image
This post is intended for all researchers that want or thinking of attending the Montreal 2014 Conference organized by WASET (that is theoretically supposed to occur at the Ritz-Carlton Montreal   hotel) AND to all who wish to attend future conferences held by WASET, please read below: I submitted my abstract February 7 2014 and selected the option to have an oral presentation rather than a poster. March 6 I receive an email informing me that my paper was accepted (although they did not properly copy and paste the title of my paper) anyway, you can check the official acceptance paper. Since the topic of my paper is on wind turbine blade optimization, I believed that by the name of the chosen conference  ICSREE 2014: International Conference on Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering , researchers in this domain from around the world will be gathered with interesting papers and presentations.... Well, judge yourself, take a look at the Conference Program .  In

The Impact of Lebanon's Political Crisis on Academic Publication and Higher Education

It doesn't take a genius to tell you that violence and triggered wars are occurring in the Middle East. As much of a pain it is to witness such violence and hate, there should be no place for pessimism. Therefore, this post is not aimed at discussing the reasons, but rather the impact of the political conflicts of the last decade on research publication in Lebanon, a small study that I hope will touch others, whom share the same responsibilities.  At first, if you are not familiar with  SCImago Journal & Country Rank , I suggest you get to know the SJR metric. It basis it algorithm on the information contained in the  Scopus  database (Elsevier) since 1996. It allows you to visualize, compare, and analyze the ranks of journals, countries and even regions. I based my analysis and study on the results generated by  SCImago   on the region of the Middle East; particularly on Lebanon.   Lebanon ranks 9th in the Middle East in terms of total number of documents

Optimization Problem Solved by a Genetic Algorithm - Wifi Antenna

Suppose you run a small business in your town, let's call your town Smallville, and no unfortunately Clark Kent is absent in this story. Two years ago they found black gold, yes oil and gas, and our countryside town is emerging and growing at an exponential rate. They have expanded the local clinic into a hospital, constructed an elementary school 15 miles north west of the library, the grand opening of the 4 star hotel is set to be in a month and finally the keys for 50 more residential houses are expected to be handed to the owners by the end of the year. If your business is to provide Internet to the locals, you have no choice but to expand your services in order to adapt with the increasing demands.  On a Monday morning you sit back behind the desktop of your office, a couple of Google searches and a few emails later you order a new top of the class antenna that can provide 10 times more data than your current installation. Ten business days later, your brand new X3100 ar
