America's other Muslims: Imam W.D. Mohammed, Islamic reform, and the making of American Islam Black diasporic worlds./ Muhammad Fraser-Rahim.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (pages 111-125) and index.Fraser-Rahim spotlights the emergence of an American school of Islamic thought, which was created and established by the son of the former Nation of Islam leader. W.D. Mohammed rejected his father's teachings and embraced normative Islam on his own terms while balancing classical Islam and his lived experience of Islam in the diaspora.Intro -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Preface -- Introduction -- 1.

Reynolds number dependence of the dimensionless dissipation rate in stationary magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
No full textResults on the Reynolds number dependence of the dimensionless total dissipation rate C_ε are presented, obtained from medium to high resolution direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of mechanically forced stationary homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the absence of a mean magnetic field, showing that C_ε -> const with increasing Reynolds number. Furthermore, a model equation for the Reynolds number dependence of the dimensionless dissipation rate is derived from the real-space energy balance equation by asymptotic expansion in terms of Reynolds number of the second- and third-order correlation functions of the Elsässer fields z± = u ± b. At large Reynolds numbers we find that a model of the form C_ε = C_ε,∞ + C/R describes the data well, while at lower Reynolds numbers the model needs to be extended to second order in 1/R in order to obtain a good fit to the data, where R is a generalised Reynolds number with respect to the Elsässer field z-

Reliability of Organic Compounds in Microelectronics and Optoelectronics: From Physics-of-Failure to Physics-of-Degradation
No full textThis book aims to provide a comprehensive reference into the critical subject of failure and degradation in organic materials, used in optoelectronics and microelectronics systems and devices. Readers in different industrial sectors, including microelectronics, automotive, lighting, oil/gas, and petrochemical will benefit from this book. Several case studies and examples are discussed, which readers will find useful to assess and mitigate similar failure cases. More importantly, this book presents methodologies and useful approaches in analyzing a failure and in relating a failure to the reliability of materials and systems.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic Components, Technology and Material
Piecewise linear output measures in DEA (third revision)
No full textIt is assumed in the standard DEA model that the aggregate output (input) is a pure linear function of each output (input). This means, for example, that if DMU j1 generates twice as much of an output as does another DMU j2, then the former is credited with having created twice as much value. In many situations, however, linear pricing ([mu]ryrj) may not adequately reflect differences in value created from one DMU to another. In this paper, a generalization of the DEA methodology is presented that incorporates piecewise linear functions of factors. We deal specifically with those situations where for certain outputs in an input-oriented model, the weight function f(yrj) is described by either a non-increasing or non-decreasing set of multipliers for larger amounts of the factor. We refer to such a variable r as exhibiting diminishing marginal value (DMV) or increasing marginal value (IMV). The DMV/IMV phenomenon is common in many for-profit applications. For example, in the case that yrj is the amount of a consumer product r generated by DMU j, and [mu]r is the price of that product, it may well be that the market will force lower prices if greater amounts of that product are generated; discounts automatically lead to this DMV situation. Such a phenomenon can arise as well in not-for-profit settings, and we examine such a situation based on earlier work by Cook et al. [Cook, W.D., Roll, Y., Kazakov, A., 1990. A DEA model for measuring the relative efficiency of highway maintenance patrols. INFOR 28 (2), 113-124].DEA Diminishing marginal value Piecewise linear functions Assurance region

LED-Based Luminaire Color Shift Acceleration and Prediction
No full textColor stability is of major concern for LED-based products. Currently, much effort is done on lumen maintenance, and for color shift, no agreed method currently exists, be it from testing or from prediction side. To investigate the physics of color shift, we present experiments of each individual part failure of each individual part that are present in LED-based products. In order to develop a color shift prediction method, it is imperative to investigate the color shift contribution by each individual part. We present a new method to predict color shift on a system level, which we named the view factor approach. We compare this prediction method with experiments on luminaire level to conclude that we have taken satisfactory first steps in the field of color shift predictions for LED-based systems.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic Components, Technology and Material
