For Inquires: Please, contact Professor Fallou Ngom ([email protected])The material consists of Wolof Ajami poems (Wolofal) by Serigne Mor Kayre (1869-1951). The material is written in black ink. There are also insertions of Arabic words and phrases, including in openings and closings. The collection contains discussions on the qualities of Prophet Muhammad, the qualities of a genuine Murid disciple, discussions on the Tijaniyya and Qadiriyya Sufi orders, as well as recommendations for Murid disciples and their leaders.
Serigne Mor Kayre (1869-1951) was one of the earliest Murid Ajami scholars and poets. He was a member of the Tijaniyya Sufi order before becoming a Murid disciple when he met Ahmadou Bamba. His work includes eulogies of some Murid leaders, praises of Prophet Muhammad and Ahmadou Bamba's teachings, and devotional Sufi poetry, among others. His work has helped to disseminate Bamba's teachings and the Murid work ethics among the Wolof masses. His poetry has generated some Sufi songs, some of which are available on the internet today.
Serigne Mor Kayre is the author and scribe of the 2 original pages, but the copyist of the 74 photocopied pages of the work is unknown.
Mame Mor Kayre, the owner of the materials, is named after his grandfather Serigne Mor Kayre (1869-1951), the author the materials. He was born in 1978 in Khombole in the region of Thies. Mame Mor Kayre is currently a quranic teacher in Touba-Darou Khoudoss, Senegal. He received the materials from his older half-brother called Khadim Kayre, a quranic teacher and writer living in Dakar, Senegal.

Effect of the Preparation Method on Cu-MOR/g-C3N4 for Direct Methanol Synthesis from Methane Oxidation by Photothermal Catalysis
No full textCopper-based zeolite catalysts are widely used in methanol synthesis from methane oxidation, but their photothermal catalytic properties have seldom been explored. This study examines the effect of the preparation method on Cu-based zeolite composite graphite-phase carbon nitride catalysts (Cu-MOR/g-C3N4) for direct methanol synthesis from methane oxidation by photothermal catalysis. Four different preparation methods are employed: liquid phase ion exchange (Cu-MOR/g-C3N4-IE), isovolumetric impregnation (Cu-MOR/g-C3N4-IM), solid-state ion exchange (Cu-MOR/g-C3N4-GR), and hydrothermal synthesis (Cu-MOR/g-C3N4-HT). Cu-MOR/g-C3N4-IE shows the highest methanol yield (3.09 μmol h−1 gcat−1) due to strong interactions between the CuxOy species and g-C3N4, as well as smaller interfacial charge transfer forces. This study provides a new method for the design and synthesis of catalysts for the conversion of methane
Dunes as source of sediment for Delft3D-MOR
No full textDue to natural processes, such as tides and waves, the coastal area is continuously changing. Process-based morphodynamic area modelling is one of the relatively new tools to predict these changes in the coastal area. One of these process-based models is Delft3D-MOR, developed by WLIDELFT HYDRAULICS. However, computations on a long time-scale show unrealistic predictions of the bottom development near the waterline. In a numerical model (e.g. Delft3D-MOR) the waterline is a discontinuity. The model stops computing transports just seawards of the waterline; after this, on the dry beach, transports are zero. In reality, sand will be transported from the dunes to the surf zone in a situation of erosion. Because this transport does not occur in the numerical model, a "hole" develops in front ofthe waterline. Because of the scour hole, too little wave energy is dissipated and there is still wave energy at the last point seaward of the waterline. Less and less dissipation and associated transports take place in the model, so the erosion process stops too soon. The aim of this study is then, to develop a model, applicable within Delft3D-MOR, that describes the sediment exchange between the surf zone and the dry beach and dunes. The model that is applied in Delft3D-MOR, searches the whole modelled area for situations where a wet and active cell neighbours a dry and inactive cell. At this point the sediment extrapolation approach of Steetzel is used. In this model the deposited sediment on the beach in an accretion situation is assumed to be directly transported to the higher parts of the profile. The model boundaries are at the last active/wet cell and the first top in cross-shore direction. The overall conclusion from the four used test cases is, that the adaption of the dry bed transports is successful and allows the exchange of sediment between the surf zone and the dry areas. However, the modelling of the transport processes under water is still rather inaccurate.Civil Engineering and Geoscience
Vehicle routing problems over time: a survey
No full textIn vehicle routing problems (VRPs) the decisions to be taken concern the assignment of customers to vehicles and the sequencing of the customers assigned to each vehicle. Additional decisions may need to be jointly taken, depending on the specific problem setting. In this paper, after discussing the different kinds of decisions taken in different classes of VRPs, the class where the decision about when the routes start from the depot has to be taken is considered and the related literature is reviewed. This class of problems, that we call VRPs over time, includes the periodic routing problems, the inventory routing problems, the vehicle routing problems with release dates, and the multi-trip vehicle routing problems
Optimization of a Series of Mu Opioid Receptor (MOR) Agonists with High G Protein Signaling Bias
No full textWhile
mu opioid receptor (MOR) agonists are especially effective
as broad-spectrum pain relievers, it has been exceptionally difficult
to achieve a clear separation of analgesia from many problematic side
effects. Recently, many groups have sought MOR agonists that induce
minimal βarrestin-mediated signaling because MOR agonist-treated
βarrestin2 knockout mice were found to display enhanced antinociceptive
effects with significantly less respiratory depression and tachyphylaxis.
Substantial data now exists to support the premise that G protein
signaling biased MOR agonists can be effective analgesic agents. We
recently showed that, within a chemical series, the degree of bias
correlates linearly with the magnitude of the respiratory safety index.
Herein we describe the synthesis and optimization of piperidine benzimidazolone
MOR agonists that together display a wide range of bias (G/βarr2).
We identify structural features affecting potency and maximizing bias
and show that many compounds have desirable properties, such
as long half-lives and high brain penetration
Powerful inhibitory action of mu opioid receptors (MOR) on cholinergic interneuron excitability in the dorsal striatum
No full textCholinergic interneurons (ChIs) of dorsal striatum play a key role in motor control and in behavioural learning. Neuropeptides regulate cholinergic transmission and mu opioid receptor (MOR) activation modulates striatal acetylcholine release. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect are yet uncharacterized. Here, we examined the electrophysiological responses of ChIs to the selective MOR agonist, DAMGO {[D-Ala2-MePhe4-Gly(ol)5] enkephalin}. We observed a robust, dose-dependent inhibition of spontaneous firing activity (0.06-3 μM) which was reversible upon drug washout and blocked by the selective antagonist D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Orn-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (CTOP) (1 μM). Voltage-clamp analysis of the reversal potential of the DAMGO effect did not provide univocal results, indicating the involvement of multiple membrane conductances. The MOR-dependent effect persisted in the presence of GABAA and ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists, ruling out an indirect effect. Additionally, it depended upon G-protein activation, as it was prevented by intrapipette GDP-β-S. Because D2 dopamine receptors (D2R) and MOR share a common post-receptor signalling pathway, occlusion experiments were performed with maximal doses of both D2R and MOR agonists. The D2R agonist quinpirole decreased spike discharge, which was further reduced by adding DAMGO. Then, D2R or MOR antagonists were used to challenge the response to the respective agonists, DAMGO or quinpirole. No cross-effect was observed, suggesting that the two receptors act independently. Our findings demonstrate a postsynaptic inhibitory modulation by MOR on ChIs excitability. Such opioidergic regulation of cholinergic transmission might contribute to shape information processing in basal ganglia circuits, and represent a potential target for pharmacological intervention
