5.) How did the Second Great Awakening promote “spiritual egalitarianism?”

Which of the following early American authors penned her narrative about being taken as a hostage by Native Americans? The publication of her captivity narrative earned the colonist an important place in the history of American literature. Her work is among the most frequently cited examples of a captivity narrative and is often viewed as an archetypal model. This important American literary genre functioned as a source of information for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century writers James Fenimore Cooper, Ann Bleecker, John Williams, and James Seaver in their portrayals of colonial history. Because of her encounter with her Indian captors, her narrative is also interesting for its treatment of intercultural contact. Finally, in its use of autobiography, Biblical typology, and similarity to the “Jeremiad,” her narrative offers valuable insight into the Puritan mind.

Which novel (produced prior to the Civil War) stirred American emotion and sentiment against slavery, particularly among women (mothers) and those who professed Christianity? 

The following describes which literary movement: The writers of this type of literature sought to show the darker side that was ignored through their stories that still intrigue and abhor readers today. Their works have left an imprint on American literature and set themselves apart from all of the other writers of their time.  In short, after reviewing their life experiences, they thought that the Transcendental philosophy was severely flawed. They saw that people could be evil, insane, impure, or generally not 100% good like the Transcendentalists thought. Unlike the Transcendentalists, they believed in original sin, and that it was responsible for the evil that existed inside of everyone.

Approximately ______ of the world’s population have some type of disability.

Which country has “pounds?”

24.) These measures enacted by state and local governments in the immediate aftermath of the war sought to deprive newly freed African Americans of their legal rights by forcing Freedmen to obtain proof or residence and employment within six months of liberation, or face high fines and imprisonment?

Large Question. Please refer to the following figure. In real-world applications, deploying multiple robots dynamically to their designated locations as coordinated teams while minimizing the distance cost between robots and their assigned goals is a challenging, NP-hard problem. To address this, we consider a framework for team-based multi-robot task allocation and path planning, designed specifically for robot exploration missions. This approach utilizes an optimization-based distance-minimization model. Tasks are first divided into sub-tasks, considering interdependence and relations among robots. Robots are clustered into teams based on these relationships and the nature of the tasks. Each team of robots, initially enclosed within arbitrary shapes due to their intercorrelations, is approximated and relaxed into circular formations. This approximation simplifies the optimization problem and focuses on minimizing distances both between teams and between individual robots and their goals. The problem is formulated as an optimization task that aims to minimize total traveled distance while maintaining task feasibility. After solving the optimization problem, the teams are deployed to their respective locations. Once teams reach their approximate positions, the individual robot locations within each team are fine-tuned using graph-based methods, ensuring accurate task execution and minimal path overlap. Explain how this multi-robot multi-task allocation system works. Describe this algorithm in pseudo-code form.   [Note, if students use ChatGPT to obtain solution, the entire exam will be zero!] If you are comfortable to draw figures or answer your questions using computer’s app, please draw figures online.  However, it is hard to draw figures and diagrams using apps.  Alternatively, please have enough empty papers ready on your hands in the exam.  If questions require you to draw figures or diagrams, please feel free to draw by hands on your empty papers.  Please immediately scan or take photos of papers with figures or diagrams by cell phone and quickly email me (no more than 15 minutes after your exam).
