    The dataset contains more than 21M hierarchical relationships about ≈10M topics extracted from Freebase knowledgebase. The topics span the various categories of Freebase including Science & Technology, Arts & Entertainment, Sports, Society, Products & Services, Transportation, Time & Space, Special Interests, and Commons. The relationships describe the hierarchies of topics in terms of Types, Domains, and Categories. For example, ‘Albert Einstein’ can be found as a topic that is a sub-class of ‘Person’, belonging to the ‘People’ domain and ‘Society’ category. Another entity named as ‘Albert Einstein’ can also be found as a sub-class of ‘Book’, belonging to the ‘Books’ domain and ‘Arts & Entertainment’ category. The dataset is published in JSON and CSV formats, sample files are provided to help explore how the dataset is structured. The dataset is believed to be useful for studying the inter-related connections among topics in different domains of knowledge.

    [This article taps into the equivocal relationship between literature and journalism through the concept of (un)canonicity, specifically in the literary journals of \u27Abdallāh al-Nadīm and Ya\u27qūb Ṣannū\u27. It emphasizes the juxtaposition of such (un)canonicity with notions like the value of the literary/journalistic text and the criteria for assigning such a text value as canonical. The author also raises relevant questions relating to the notions of authorship, the reading public, the public sphere, journals as literary salons in relation to the journalistic work of al-Nadīm and Ṣannū\u27 within the context of the Arab Nahḍa. تتناول هذه المقالة التباس العلاقة بين الأدب والصحافة من خلال حضور المعيارية الأدبية وغيابها في مجلات عبد ﷲ النديم ويعقوب صنوع الأدبية على وجه التحديد ؛ حيث تركز على تقاطع هذه المعيارية مع مفاهيم مثل القيمة بين النص الأدبي والصحفي ، وارتباط ذلك باعتبار هذا النص أو ذلك ((مُعْتمَداً)) ومحددات ذلك . تطرح المقالة أيضاً تساؤلات ذات صلة بشأن مفهوم المؤلف (أو التأليف) وجمهور القراء والمجال العام والصحف بوصفها صالونات أدبية ، وكذلك الشفاهية والكتابية فيما يتصل ﺑﺼﺤﺎﻓﺔ النديم وصنوع داخل سياق النهضة العربية الحديثة .

    The Arab Nahda as Popular Entertainment: Mass Culture and Modernity in the Middle East

    No full text
    What was popular entertainment like for everyday Arab societies in Middle Eastern cities during the long nineteenth century? In what ways did café culture, theatre, illustrated periodicals, cinema, cabarets, and festivals serve as key forms of popular entertainment for Arabic-speaking audiences, many of whom were uneducated and striving to contend with modernity’s anxiety-inducing realities? Studies on the 19th to mid-20th century’s transformative cultural movement known as the Arab nahda (renaissance), have largely focussed on concerns with nationalism, secularism, and language, often told from the perspective of privileged groups. Highlighting overlooked aspects of this movement, this book shifts the focus away from elite circles to quotidian audiences. Its ten contributions range in scope, from music and visual media to theatre and popular fiction. Paying special attention to networks of movement and exchange across Arab societies in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Morocco, this book heeds the call for ‘translocal/transnational’ cultural histories, while contributing to timely global studies on gender, sexuality, and morality. Focusing on the often-marginalized frequenters of cafés, artist studios, cinemas, nightclubs, and the streets, it expands the remit of who participated in the nahda and how they did

    Channel feedback in FDD massive MIMO systems with multiple-antenna users

    In this thesis, we consider the problem of Angle of Departure (AoD) based channel feedback in Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) massive Multiple- Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems with multiple antennas at the users. We consider the use of Zero-Forcing Block Diagonalization (BD) as the down- link precoding scheme. We consider two different cases; one in which the number of streams intended for a user equals the number of antennas at that user and the other case in which the number of streams is less than the number of user antennas. BD requires the feedback of the subspace spanned by the channel matrix at the user or a subspace of it in the case of having a smaller number of streams than the number of antennas at a specific user. Based on our channel model, we propose a channel feedback scheme that requires less feedback overhead compared to feeding back the whole channel matrix. Then, we quantify the rate gap between the rate of the system with perfect Channel State Information (CSI) at the massive MIMO Basestation (BS) and our proposed channel feedback scheme for a given number of feedback bits. Finally, we design feedback codebooks based on optimal subspace packing in the Grassmannian manifold. We show that our proposed codes achieve performance that is very close to the performance of the system with perfect CSI at the BS. We also propose a vector quantization scheme to quantize the channel matrix of the user when optimal power allocation across multiple streams is adopted. Sim- ulation results show that the vector quantization scheme combined with power optimization across the streams outperforms the subspace quantiza- tion scheme at the low SNR regime. However, the situation is reversed at high SNR levels and subspace quantization with uniform power allocation becomes better
