The Complete Muhammad Ali
No full textIncluding material and photographs not included in most of the 100 other books about the champion, Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali is more than just a biography-it is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. An honest, balanced portrayal of Ali, the book includes voices that have been omitted from other books. It charts Ali's evolution from Black Nationalism to a universalism, but does not discount the Nation of Islam and Black Nationalism's important influence on his intellectual development. Filipino American author Emil Guillermo speaks about how "The Thrilla' In Manila" brought the Philippines into the 20th century. Fans of Muhammad Ali, boxing fans, and those interested in modern African American history and the Nation of Islam will be fascinated by this biography by an accomplished American author.Intro -- DEDICATION -- INTRODUCTION -- The Curious History of an Icon -- CHAPTER 1 -- CHAPTER 2 -- CHAPTER 3 -- CHAPTER 4 -- CHAPTER 5 -- CHAPTER 6 -- CHAPTER 7 -- Did the Secret Government Fear a U.S. Muslim/Overseas Muslim Alliance? -- CHAPTER 8 -- CHAPTER 9 -- The Break Between the Prophet and his Disciple -- CHAPTER 10 -- CHAPTER 11 -- CHAPTER 12 -- The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time): Ali or Louis? -- CHAPTER 13 -- The Nation of Islam, the Mob, Showdowns in Canada and Sonny Liston -- CHAPTER 14 -- CHAPTER 15 -- The Taunts: Marketing or Racism? -- CHAPTER 16 -- CHAPTER 17 -- CHAPTER 18 -- CHAPTER 19 -- Boxing and the Brain -- CHAPTER 20 -- Ali's Feet -- CHAPTER 21 -- Mr. Dick -- CHAPTER 22 -- CHAPTER 23 -- The Opening Ceremonies, November 2005 -- CHAPTER 24 -- December 2005, Las Vegas -- CHAPTER 25 -- CHAPTER 26 -- June 16, 2004 -- CHAPTER 27 -- CHAPTER 28 -- CHAPTER 29 -- Aix-en-Provence -- CHAPTER 30 -- Ali as a Black Nationalist -- San Francisco, January 2004 Black Liberation Book Fair -- CHAPTER 31 -- January 31, 2004 -- CHAPTER 32 -- October 2005, Chicago -- CHAPTER 33 -- Why Ali remained with Elijah instead of following Malcolm -- CHAPTER 34 -- CHAPTER 35 -- February 4, 2006, Oakland, California -- CHAPTER 36 -- Like Zeus Descending from Mount Olympus -- CHAPTER 37 -- CHAPTER 38 -- Tuesday, February 28, 2006, New York -- CHAPTER 39 -- Bigger Than Boxing -- CHAPTER 40 -- Tribes Gallery, New York, April 2006 -- CHAPTER 41 -- June 2006, Louisville, Kentucky -- CHAPTER 42 -- CHAPTER 43 -- CHAPTER 45 -- Bad Company -- CHAPTER 46 -- Coxson, A Very Charming Rogue -- CHAPTER 47 -- Ali and the largest embezzlement scheme in Wells Fargo history -- CHAPTER 48 -- CHAPTER 49 -- "Lonnie is a stabilizing force."-Harry Belafonte -- October 29, 2006 -- CHAPTER 50 -- Abdul Rahman -- CHAPTER 51 -- CHAPTER 52 -- CHAPTER 53How Will Ali Be Remembered?

Syriac-Arabic Glosses of Isho bar Ali. Volume 2
No full textThese two volumes constitute the second part (nun-taw) of the Syriac-Arabic dictionary of the 10th cent. physician Isho bar Ali (the first half of the dictionary had been published in 1874 by G. Hoffmann). Each Syriac word is defined in Arabic, often with more than one Arabic equivalent; in addition, the author deals not just with individual Syriac words, but in some cases with phrases. Gottheil used 21 manuscripts (from Oxford, London, Paris, Berlin, Leiden, and Rome) for this edition, and he has supplied a thorough critical apparatus; the manuscripts are described in the introduction. While some manuscripts give the Arabic glosses in Syriac characters (i.e. Garshuni), Gottheil has presented them here in Arabic script. These two volumes will be of great interest to Syriac lexicographers and those who study interactions between Syriac and Arabic.Contains an English introduction by Richard J.H. Gotthei

Hammad b. Ebu Sulayman’s understanding of hadith
No full textHanefî silsilenin önemli köşe taşlarından biri olan Hammâd b. Ebû Süleyman; Abdullahb. Mes‘ûd, Hz. Aişe ve Hz. Ali gibi fakih sahâbîlerin ilmî anlayışlarıyla şekillenen Kûfe ekolünün de inşacılarından biridir. Ehl-i re’y olarak da adlandırılan bu ekolün rivayet ilmi konusundaki yaklaşım ve yöntemlerinin, haber merkezli teşrî usulünü benimseyen ehl-i hadîsten farklı olduğu görülmektedir. Hammâd b. Ebû Süleyman özelinde bu farkı ortaya koyabilmek amacıyla hazırlanan bu tezde, ehl-i hadîsin yaklaşım ve usullerini en belirgin şekilde yansıttığı düşünülen Kütüb-i Tis‘a’da mevcut Hammâd rivayetleri incelenmiştir. Bu inceleme neticesinde Hammâd’ın rivayetlerinde inkıtâ, infirâd, idrâc ve mana rivayeti gibi hadis münekkitlerinin cerh unsuru olarak telakki ettikleri birtakım tasarruflar olduğu müşahede edilmiştir. Ancak ehl-i hadîs ölçütleri doğrultusunda şekillenen rivayet esaslarının aksine bu hususiyetlerin, bir ehl-i re’y fakihi olarak telakki edilen Hammâd’ın rivayet anlayışı ve yöntemine işaret eden bilinçli (farkındalıklı) tasarrufları olduğu düşünülmektedir.Hammad b. Ebu Sulayman, one of the important cornerstones of the Hanafi lineage, is also one of the founders of the Kufa school, which was shaped by the scientific understanding of the jurists like Abdullah b. Mesud, Hz. Aişe, Hz. Ali and Hz. Ömer. It is seen that the approaches and methods of this school, which is also called as Ahl-i Ray, are different from the Ahl-i Hadith, which adopts the news-centered theological method. In this thesis, which was prepared in order to reveal this difference in Hammad, the Hammad narrations available in Kutub-i Tis‘a, which are thought to reflect the approaches and methods of the people of hadis most clearly, are examined. As a result of this examination, a number of dispositions that were considered by hadith critics as an element of cerh such as inkıta, infirad, idrac and mana narration in Hammad’s narrations were observed. However, contrary to the principles of narration shaped in line with the criteria of Ahl-i Hadith, these features are thuoght to be the conscious dispositions of Hammad, who is regarded as a jurist of Ahl-i Ray, pointing to this understanding and method of narration
Proactive Safety Evaluation of Infrastructure Designs Using Driving Simulation
No full textIn this research, the usefulness of driving simulation for studying the effects of road designs on human driving behaviour before these road designs are implemented in real life is explored. The research consists of three studies designed to address important safety issues related to human driving behaviour regarding merging on motorways, separation of express and local lanes on motorways, and horizontal curves situated in a two-way rural road. The experimentation was conducted by allowing participants to drive in a virtually created road environment in a medium fidelity driving simulator at IMOB. The results obtained from the three studies conclude that driving simulation is an economical, effective, efficient, and a safe tool for evaluation of road designs prior to their construction. Evaluating road designs in the design phase will considerably improve the level of safety of road designs. It can also highlight the possible flaws in the road design (if any) and help road designers with decision making in the road design process. The results obtained from this research promote the use of the driving simulator for evaluation of road designs so that possible social and economic losses that might result due to an unsafe road design can be avoided.Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakista

A Dual-Channel Spectrometer Based on 1mm-Thick SDDs for the Study of Nuclear Beta Decays
No full textWe present the ASPECT-BET project developing a dual-channel SDD-based spectrometer designed to achieve high-precision measurements of beta decays across a broad energy range (spanning from 10 keV to 1 MeV). The adoption of SDDs in electron spectroscopy represents a relatively novel approach, with promising preliminary results already observed in the TRISTAN project, which focuses on accurate beta spectroscopy of Tritium decay. The primary objective of ASPECTBET
is to extend the research, including more energetic radioactive sources to study allowed and forbidden nuclear beta decays. To achieve this goal, we have incorporated larger (8 mm diameter) and thicker (1 mm-thick) detectors to enhance the absorption capability of the
spectrometer, and a CSA featuring a larger feedback capacitance. Furthermore, by utilizing two SDDs arranged one in front of the other, post-acquisition data processing can be applied to eliminate partial energy depositions in detectors caused by undesirable effects such as electron backscattering or escape of characteristic X-rays. An assessment of the energy resolution achieved at the Mn-Kα (5.9 keV)
fluorescence line, obtained by exposing the spectrometer to a 55Fe calibration source, is presented. A FWHM below 200 eV is achieved under conditions of a 1 μs peaking time and cooling at -23 °C, indicating the potential suitability of the spectrometer for high-energy beta decay
