The Efforts of Imam al-Bayhaqi Imam Ahmad bin al-Hussein al-Bayhaqi
No full textThis study
deals with issues of Islamic doctrine, which was excelled by one of the former imams, Imam Ahmad bin
al-Hussein al-Bayhaqi (d: 458 Hijri). These issues discussed in the
research are: the intercession of our Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, the
proof of Paradise and the vision of God Almighty and the fact of the torment of
the grave. It is noted that these issues, which have differed by a number of
former scientists, denied by some and supported by many. However, today there
are a large number of those who have been influenced by the secular ideas of
our Islamic societies. Therefore, the author of this research has been
influenced by what Baihaqi reported in some of his books, which dealt with many
issues in the doctrine, including these three. Since Baihaqi has followed the
honest and righteous scholars of the nation which they have proved the validity
of intercession, the vision of God Almighty in the
afterlife, and confirmed the torment of the grave through texts of legitimacy,
which is unambiguous.
For this purpose, the researcher
followed the views of Baihaqi and most notably in this limited and useful
research. </p
Polyaniline-based flexible implantable electrodes for neural sensing/stimulation applications
No full textA Master of Science thesis in Biomedical Engineering by Nader Lutfi Almufleh entitled, “Polyaniline-based flexible implantable electrodes for neural sensing/stimulation applications”, submitted in March 2021. Thesis advisor is Dr. Amani Al-Othman and thesis co-advisors are Dr. Hasan Awad Moh’d Al Nashash and Dr. Mohammed Hussein Al-Sayah. Soft copy is available (Thesis, Completion Certificate, Approval Signatures, and AUS Archives Consent Form).Implantable bioelectrodes have the potential to advance neural sensing and muscle stimulation, mainly in patients with peripheral nerve injuries. The current emerging prostheses rely on the use of conductive and capacitive materials to assist the nerve recovery process, which is often slow. Therefore, implantable electrodes are used to stimulate and restore muscle function after injury. The function of implantable electrodes is to work as an interface between the damaged nerve and the muscle which is controlled by that nerve. There are conventional implantable electrodes that are fabricated from precious metals, such as platinum and gold. Aside from the cost, they have many disadvantages such as high impedance, toughness, and they make damage to the soft tissue. This thesis discusses the fabrication and characterization of novel, low-cost, flexible bioelectrodes based on silicone, and polyaniline (PANI), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) in addition to their combinations. Implantable electrodes were fabricated from variant combinations of these polymers and their electrochemical and mechanical properties were evaluated. PANI was used as the main conducting components for fabrication. The characterization methods included conductivity, capacitive behaviour, cost, long term impedance, and their mechanical properties. The results of the fabricated PANI-silicone based samples displayed a bulk impedance of 600 Ω with an impedance of 1.6 kΩ at the frequency of 1 kHz and a modulus of elasticity of 75.312 MPa. The charge storage capacity of the fabricated sample was equal to 138.14 C/ Cm² which is the highest compared to the literature materials. The samples did not have any peaks so they were considered as stable samples. The mechanical test results of the fabricated batches were compared to those found in the literature such as PEDOT: PSS (poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate) and skin tissue. The young modulus of the fabricated samples (sample 1 and sample 9) were 0.1468 MPa and 75.312 MPa respectively, while the young modulus from the literature were 1.8 ± 0.2 GPa and 83.33 ± 4.9 MPa respectively. The results for the silicone with PANI showed promising electrochemical and mechanical characteristics with flexible and ductile properties.College of EngineeringMultidisciplinary ProgramsMaster of Science in Biomedical Engineering (MSBME
Design and Characterization of Flexible and Implantable Electrodes
No full textA Master of Science thesis in Biomedical Engineering by Aseel Dirar Alatoom entitled, “Design and Characterization of Flexible and Implantable Electrodes”, submitted in April 2019. Thesis advisor is Dr. Amani Al-Othman and thesis co-advisors are Dr. Hasan Awad Moh'd Al-Nashash and Dr. Mohammad Hussein Al-Sayah. Soft and hard copy available.Implantable bioelectrodes have the potential to advance neural sensing and muscle stimulation, especially in cases of peripheral nerve injuries. In such cases, the application of electrical stimulation to the muscles prevents muscular atrophy and helps to bridge the gap between the injured nerve and the corresponding muscle. Conventional materials for these implantable electrodes are usually metals, but they suffer from several limitations ranging from mechanical mismatch to immunological responses. Another problem is damage to tissues due to mechanical forces exerted on soft tissues by the stiff mechanical electrodes. Therefore, there is a need for the development of flexible, durable implantable electrodes with low interfacial impedance characteristics. This thesis discusses the fabrication and characterization of novel, low-cost, flexible bioelectrodes based on silicone polymer (polysiloxane) and other electrode materials, including titanium dioxide and stainless steel powder as well as their combinations. For this purpose, this work synthesized and characterized three types of implantable electrodes based on their electrochemical and mechanical properties; where titanium dioxide, stainless steel, and a mixture of the two were used as the main conducting components for fabrication. The titanium dioxide-based samples exhibited a bulk impedance of 353±13.5 Ω with an impedance of 198±183 kΩ at frequency of 1 kHz; in addition, they had a modulus of elasticity of 4.52±1.15 MPa. The stainless steel-based electrodes had a bulk impedance of 1.69±1.16 kΩ and an impedance of 1.21±1.13 MΩ at frequency of 1 kHz, and they had a modulus of elasticity of 0.722±0.393 MPa. The third type, which was a mixture of both titanium dioxide and stainless steel-based samples, had a bulk impedance of 1.71±0.849 kΩ and an impedance of 191 ± 160 kΩ at frequency of 1 kHz; along with a modulus of elasticity of 0.453±0.32 MPa. The results for the silicone with metal powders showed promising electrochemical and mechanical characteristics with flexible and ductile properties, with the titanium dioxide-based material performing the best. Compared with the values reported in the literature, the results show superior performance. Thus, supporting the composite material’s potential for being used in implantable electrode applications.College of EngineeringMultidisciplinary ProgramsMaster of Science in Biomedical Engineering (MSBME

Permanent temporariness: The urbanisation process of the Jabal al-Hussein refugee camp
No full textRefugee camps are considered temporal places, outside of the normal juridical order, in which people are waiting to restart their lives in a new place or return to their original homes. The Palestinian refugee camps, which have existed for almost 70 years now, challenges these conceptions. The development of the Jabal al-Hussein camp, one of the Palestinian refugee camps in Amman, Jordan, from tent camp to neighbourhood, its governmentality by both the Jordan government and URNWA, and the new social structures combined show in this case study that the camp is a very paradoxical and ambiguous spatial form in terms of temporality, exclusion and stagnation. Or in other words, in its permanence, inclusion and identity. Therefore, we must reconsider the theories on refugee camps and shift our focus from the symbolic-political to the material-lived.

The social trend in the poetry of Muhammad Hussein Al-Saghir: Analytical study
No full textSocial issues are addressed in literature because the writer's literature is based on social reality. In literature, reality is a perspective influenced by social reality. Moreover, it has served as literature's social mirror, reflecting the social realities around the author through interpretation and response. The researcher recognised the significance of this topic because literature and society have a profoundly intertwined relationship that does not produce any art in general or literature, particularly in the group, and because it is unclear whether a person is born with the ability to create art for personal enjoyment or to hear poetry alone. He was looking for social literature analysis. In poetry, Muhammad Hussain al-Saghir (Analytical Study of Social Literature). The researcher employed the library's approach for data collection, which includes reading and recording books and references and doing work connected to gathering, reading, recording, and evaluating library-based data. The researcher employed descriptive-qualitative methodologies for the data analysis. For this investigation, the researcher was going to look at more than one thing, so comparison methods were also used. After doing this study, the researcher concluded that Muhammad Hussain al-Poetry Saghir's significantly influenced his cultural and literary output.

No full textDeveloping Responsive Environments based on Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Operation Principles
No full textThe development of physical and computational mechanisms aimed at augmenting architectural environments has been one of the foci of research implemented at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology (TUD) for more than a decade. This paper presents the integration of distributed responsive climate control into the built environment based on Designto-Robotic-Production and -Operation (D2RP&O) principles. These connect computational design with robotic production and operation of buildings. In the presented case study structural elements meet loadbearing as well as functional requirements. Their spatial arrangement creates variable densities for accommodating sensor-actuators that are operating heating and cooling. This mechatronic operation relies on activity recognition for achieving responsive climate control in the built-environment.Architectural Engineerin
