No full textOriginally scheduled to appear during the 2013-14 season, Dr. Barbara J. King is a biological anthropologist and science writer at the College of William and Mary. Her latest book How Animals Grieve reflects her keen interest in animal emotion and cognition. King contributes weekly to NPR.org’s 13.7 Cosmos and Culture blog and writes regularly for The Times Literary Supplement. At home in Virginia, she and her husband care for rescued cats

Disc machine testing to assess the life of surface-damaged railway track
No full textWheel-rail contacts operate in an arduous and contaminated environment. Railway track running surfaces can become damaged either prior to or during operation. This work is aimed at understanding how that surface damage can affect the life of railway track. Pre-damaged surfaces and track damaged by the entrainment of solid contaminants are considered under both oil and water lubrication. A series of small-scale laboratory experiments has been carried out on a twin-disc rolling-sliding test machine. The test discs are artificially indented and run under typical wheel-rail contact conditions. The experimental results revealed that artificial dents only reduce the fatigue life of the contact under oil, but not water lubrication. With oil lubrication the fatigue failure initiates close to the location of the surface defect. However, with water as the lubricant the whole of the surface undergoes cracking with the defect having no preferential effect. Studies have also been carried out to investigate the damage caused by the entrainment of solid particles into the wheel-rail contact. This kind of damage can accelerate surface fatigue and also lead to excessive wear. An attempt has been made to quantify the wear process and develop a simple empirical model

To Grieve or Not to Grieve: The Ambivalence of Ḥuzn in Early Sufism
No full textThe present paper traces the concept of ḥuzn — variably translated as “sadness,”
“grief,” “sorrow,” or “affliction” — in the early development of Islamic thought. It
begins with an examination of how the term is used in the Quran and the canonical
hadith corpus, proceeds through the time period of the early renunciants and
proto-Sufi and Sufi authors, and ends with the second half of the fifth/eleventh
century. At first glance, the Quranic “do not grieve!” (lā taḥzan) seems to stand in
stark contrast to early Sufi teachings on sadness, the latter being a necessary trade
(ṣināʿa) of the wayfarer (sālik) and the noblest act of devotion (afḍal al-ʿibāda). The
question then arises, what should the believer do? To grieve or not to grieve

Wedderburn components, the index theorem and continuous Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity for semihomogeneous vector bundles
No full textWe study the property of continuous Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, for semihomogeneous vector bundles over a given Abelian variety, which was formulated in A. Küronya and Y. Mustopa [Adv. Geom. 20 (2020), no. 3, 401-412]. Our main result gives a novel description thereof. It is expressed in terms of certain normalized polynomial functions that are obtained via the Wedderburn decomposition of the Abelian variety’s endomorphism algebra. This result builds on earlier work of Mumford and Kempf and applies the form of the Riemann-Roch Theorem that was established in N. Grieve [New York J. Math. 23 (2017), 1087-1110]. In a complementary direction, we explain how these topics pertain to the Index and Generic Vanishing Theory conditions for simple semihomogeneous vector bundles. In doing so, we refine results from M. Gulbrandsen [Matematiche (Catania) 63 (2008), no. 1, 123–137], N. Grieve [Internat. J. Math. 25 (2014), no. 4, 1450036, 31] and D. Mumford [Questions on Algebraic Varieties (C.I.M.E., III Ciclo, Varenna, 1969), Edizioni Cremonese, Rome, 1970, pp. 29-100]
