    Walaa Quisay (2023). Neo-Traditionalism in Islam in the West: Orthodoxy, Spirituality and Politics. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press.

    There has been a lot of interest in studying how Muslims of Europe adapt to modernity in Western countries. In the last two decades, most of the research focused on Islamist movements, political Islam, Salafi movements, and reformist Islam in the West. However, Walaa Quisay's work goes beyond this to explore the rise of neo-traditionalism, often understudied, as an emerging alternative Islamic authority in the West. The work aims to explain how neo-traditionalism has emerged, established its authority, and engaged with modernity. It also focuses on its appeal, internal contradictions and socio-political implications. Through studying the life and discourses of three charismatic neo-traditionalist sheiks, white converts such as Hamza Yousuf, Abdul Hakim Muradand Umar Faruq Abdullah, the author mainly shows how they collectively presented Islamic traditionalism not only as the voice of pure Islam through otherising religious discourses of Salafism and reformist Islam as the products of post-colonial complexities, but also as a paradigmatic critique of modernity. Despite such grand claims, the author highlights that neo-traditionalism has ultimately ended up serving the very power structure of modernity, particularly nation-states. Neo-traditionalism in Islam inthe West is a result of an ethnographic study. The author spends years of participating, experiencing and interviewing the neo-traditionalist sheiks and followers in their spiritual sites. The chapters of the book broadly cover the emergence of neo-traditionalism, its key discourses and implications on the Muslim societies in the West and Muslim world

    On the Use of Supervised Learning Method for Authorship Attribution

    No full text
    In this paper we investigate the use of a supervised learning method for the authorship attribution that is for the identification of the author of a text. We suggest a new, simple and efficient method, which is merely based on counting the number of repetitions of each alphabetic letter in the text, instead of using the traditional classification properties; such as the contents of the text and style of the author; which falls into four feature categories: lexical, syntactic, structural, and content-specific. Furthermore, we apply a spherical classification method. We apply the proposed technique to the work of two Italian writers, Dante Alighieri and Brunetto Latini. With almost high reliability, the spherical classifier proved its ability to discriminate between the selected authors. Finally the results are compared with those obtained by means of a standard Support Vector Machine classifier

    Influence of nanoparticles addition on the fatigue failure behavior of metal matrix composites : Comprehensive review

    No full text
    AbstractLight-weight, high-strength metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been gaining prominence in various industrial applications in which the materials are exposed to static and dynamic loading conditions. Unfortunately, micron-sized MMCs frequently encounter challenges such as particle breakage and debonding at the reinforcement-matrix interface, resulting in premature failure due to the decline in their mechanical properties, making them impractical to be utilized in some crucial applications. On the other hand, metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) have been proven to improve strength, ductility, and fracture toughness characteristics, which are greatly beneficial in various industrial applications such as automotive, aerospace structures, and biomaterials. This review provides a comprehensive insight into the effect of nanoparticle addition on the fatigue performance of metals and alloys. Firstly, special attention has been given to the factors influencing the fatigue life of MMNCs. Secondly, the effect of nanoparticle incorporation on the fatigue performance of common metal matrixes, including aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and steel alloys, is reviewed in detail. Finally, a summary of this review and the future aspects related to the behavior of metals with nanoparticles at cyclic loading is provided.Abstract Light-weight, high-strength metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been gaining prominence in various industrial applications in which the materials are exposed to static and dynamic loading conditions.

    Quantization of Non-Abelian Yang-Mills Theories

    No full text
    A non-Abelian theory of fermions interacting with gauge bosons, the constrained system, is studied. The equations of motion for a singular system are obtained as total differential equations in many variables. The integrability conditions are investigated and the set of equations of motion is integrable. The Senjanovic and the canonical methods are used to quantize the system, and the integration is taken over the canonical phase space coordinates.Comment: 9 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2003.06238; text overlap with arXiv:hep-th/0404036 by other author
