Parallel Encounters : Culture at the Canada-US Border
The essays collected in offer close analysis of an array of cultural representations of the Canada-US border, in both site-specificity and in the ways in which they reveal and conceal cultural similarities and differences.Contributors focus on a range of regional sites along the border and examine a rich variety of expressive forms, including poetry, fiction, drama, visual art, television, and cinema produced on both sides of the 49th parallel. The field of border studies has hitherto neglected the Canada-US border as a site of cultural interest, tending to examine only its role in transnational policy, economic cycles, and legal and political frameworks.Border studies has long been rooted in the US-Mexico divide; shifting the locus of that discussion north to the 49th parallel, the contributors ask what added complications a site-specific analysis of culture at the Canada-US border can bring to the conversation.In so doing, this collection responds to the demands of Hemispheric American Studies to broaden considerations of the significance of American culture to the Americas as a whole - bringing Canadian Studies into dialogue with the dominantly US-centric critical theory in questions of citizenship, globalization, Indigenous mobilization, hemispheric exchange, and transnationalism.

Parallel Hells
'Trust me: you want to read this. It's the queer horror book of your dreams' Kirsty Logan'The short, twisted tales collected in Leon Craig's Parallel Hells have a laconic elegance that's both chilling and pleasurable' Financial TimesIn this deliciously strange debut collection, Leon Craig draws on folklore and gothic horror in refreshingly inventive ways to explore queer identity, love, power and the complicated nature of being human. In the thirteen darkly audacious stories of Parallel Hells we meet a golem, made of clay, learning that its powers far exceed its Creator's expectations; a ruined mansion which grants the secret wishes of a group of revellers and a notorious murderer who discovers her Viking husband is not what he seems. Asta is an ancient being who feasts on the shame of contemporary Londoners, who now, beyond anything, wishes only to fit in with a group of friends they will long outlive.An Oxford historian, in bitter competition with the rest of her faculty members, discovers an ancient tome whose sinister contents might solve her problems.Livia orchestrates a Satanic mass to distract herself from a recently remembered trauma and two lovers must resolve their differences in order to defy a lethal curse. 'A glorious collection of short stories that reads as if Edgar Allan Poe and Shirley Jackson had a little queer baby' Big Issue'Impressive...Read Parallel Hells for a different take on vampires, demons and monsters you never knew existed...Craig's worlds appear effortless' Mslexia

Parallel Algorithms
This book is an introduction to the field of parallel algorithms and the underpinning techniques to realize the parallelization.The emphasis is on designing algorithms within the timeless and abstracted context of a high-level programming language.The focus of the presentation is on practical applications of the algorithm design using different models of parallel computation.Each model is illustrated by providing an adequate number of algorithms to solve some problems that quite often arise in many applications in science and engineering.The book is largely self-contained, presuming no special knowledge of parallel computers or particular mathematics.In addition, the solutions to all exercises are included at the end of each chapter.The book is intended as a text in the field of the design and analysis of parallel algorithms.It includes adequate material for a course in parallel algorithms at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

What is the difference between parallel and truly parallel?
Parallel processing refers to the simultaneous execution of multiple tasks using a single processor, where the tasks are divided into smaller sub-tasks and executed in a sequential manner. Truly parallel processing, on the other hand, involves the simultaneous execution of multiple tasks using multiple processors, where each processor works independently on its own set of tasks. In other words, parallel processing may involve time-sharing or interleaving of tasks on a single processor, while truly parallel processing involves the simultaneous execution of tasks on multiple processors. Truly parallel processing can provide greater performance and efficiency compared to parallel processing.

Are there parallel worlds?
The concept of parallel worlds, also known as the multiverse theory, is a speculative idea in physics and philosophy. While there is no concrete evidence to prove the existence of parallel worlds, some theories suggest that there could be multiple universes existing simultaneously alongside our own. These parallel worlds could potentially have different physical laws, dimensions, or even versions of ourselves. However, until there is empirical evidence to support this theory, the existence of parallel worlds remains purely hypothetical.

Are the lines parallel?
No, the lines are not parallel.

What are parallel classes?
Parallel classes are multiple classes that cover the same material or subject matter but are taught by different instructors. These classes are offered at the same time, allowing students to choose which class to attend based on their schedule or preference. Parallel classes are often used in universities or colleges to accommodate a larger number of students or to provide different teaching styles and perspectives on the same topic.

What are parallel keys?
Parallel keys are a type of mechanical fastener used to connect a rotating machine element, such as a gear or pulley, to a shaft. They are inserted into keyways on both the shaft and the machine element to prevent relative motion between the two components. Parallel keys are typically rectangular in shape and come in various sizes to accommodate different shaft and keyway dimensions.
-
Are there parallel universes?
The existence of parallel universes is a topic of speculation in theoretical physics, particularly in the context of theories like the multiverse hypothesis. Some theories suggest that there could be an infinite number of parallel universes, each with its own set of physical laws and conditions. However, there is currently no direct evidence to support the existence of parallel universes, and it remains a speculative concept that is not yet proven or widely accepted in the scientific community.
-
Are dreams parallel worlds?
Dreams are not considered parallel worlds in the traditional sense. While dreams can feel vivid and real, they are typically seen as a product of our subconscious mind processing thoughts, emotions, and memories. Parallel worlds, on the other hand, are theoretical concepts in physics that suggest the existence of alternate realities or dimensions. While dreams may offer a glimpse into different experiences or scenarios, they are generally not viewed as actual parallel worlds.

What are parallel vectors?
Parallel vectors are vectors that have the same or opposite direction, but may have different magnitudes. In other words, if two vectors are parallel, they either point in the same direction or in exactly opposite directions. This means that one vector is a scalar multiple of the other. For example, if vector A is parallel to vector B, then vector A = k * vector B, where k is a scalar.
