Islamization of Knowledge: A Methodology
No full textIslamization of Knowledge: A Methodology
By Imad al Din Khalil, Herndon, VA & London, UK: IIt, 1991, 28 pp., Occasional papers Series.
This well-Written book comprehensively outlines the basic precepts on which on concept and a program of Islamization of knowledge must, according to the author, rest. In his attempt to outline these directions, the author first defines the concept of Islamization as ... practing (i.e., discovering, compiling, piecing together, communicating and publishing) intellectual activity based on the Islamic concept of the universe” (p. 5). He further states that “Islamization‟ covers everthing within the realm of the true belief in the existence of Allah SWT” (p. 5). This definition is enhanced by Khalil‟ unequivocal reference to the Shariah and fiqh, the derivative of the Quran and the Sunnah, as being the principal background for the Islamization process. Another important aspect of Islamization
Redefining the Principle of Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources from a Geographical Perspective
No full textThe principle of permanent sovereignty over natural resources has been a subject of debate since its emergence. Scholars have discussed its purpose and effectiveness, as well as whether there is a need to reinterpret or update it given the numerous changes that have taken place over the last few decades. This article falls under the latter category, as the author argues for the need to redefine this concept, since its current definition does not allow its practical implementation in the transboundary context. To prove this point, transboundary aquifers are selected as a case study, as well as their most recent legal instrument, the Draft Articles on the Law of Transboundary Aquifers, adopted in 2008
The business, economic and policy implications of e-commerce: Lessons for MENA countries
No full textThe Business, Economic, and Policy Implications of E-Commerce: Lessons for MENA Countries, by Imad Moosa, identifies the likely effects of the development of e-commerce on the countries of the region. The author disaggregates these effects into the institutional and organizational changes that are required in terms of: networked firms and consumers, interactive markets, advertising, consumer search, product choice and pricing, and the emergence of new competitive, product, price, and communication strategies. He then underlines the economic effects of e-commerce in terms of output, prices, productivity, and interaction with a more globalized world. The author also points out some of the illusions pertaining to the impact of the ?new economy? animated by the spectacular developments in the Internet, informatics, and telecommunications services. He argues that the potential increase in productivity generated by the ?new economy? has been exaggerated.
The policy implications of the development of e-commerce cover a wide range of areas, notably, technology, trade, regulation, society, finance, and the relationship between government and business. All these implications are important for MENA countries, but the best lesson for the countries of the region, Moosa argues, is that e-commerce is not a magic cure for their economic problems
Mechanical and surface free energy characterization of asphalt concrete for moisture damage detection
No full textMoisture damage is defined as the degradation of the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete (AC) caused by moisture. Moisture damage causes a severe loss in the strength and durability of asphalt pavements, leading to a major decrease in pavement performance. Hence, many additives are used to mitigate the effect of moisture on AC.
The moisture sensitivity of AC depends on many factors, including aggregates, binders, and AC properties, environmental conditions (e.g., temperature and humidity), traffic loading, quality of construction, and pavement design. Many laboratory tests have been developed to understand and evaluate moisture damage. Laboratory tests are conducted at two levels, AC mixture and its components (binder and aggregate), using various conditioning procedures to introduce the effects of moisture.
Current AC moisture susceptibility identification laboratory tests have three main drawbacks: limited ability of simulating environmental conditions, dependence of results on test conditioning process, and limited correlation between laboratory and field results. These shortcomings have compelled the need for the development of new tools to study moisture damage; especially at the component level.
The main objective of this study is to predict the impact of several additives/modifiers and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) on moisture susceptibility of AC at the mixture- and component-level. The impact was evaluated under different aging and conditioning levels. In addition, an assessment of the impact was performed within mixture-level tests and between mixture- and component-level tests.
The study is focused primarily on investigating the effects of moisture on AC mixtures. Two AC mixes (in addition to selected additives and modifiers), typically used in the State of Illinois, were considered: 19.0-mm nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) binder mix and 19.0-mm NMAS mix with 50% RAP. The additives and modifiers consist of liquid anti-strip (LAS), hydrated lime (HL), styrene butadiene styrene (SBS), SBS with LAS, and polyphosphoric acid (PPA) with HL.
The effects of the additives and modifiers on the moisture susceptibility of the proposed AC mixtures were evaluated through several mixture- and component-level tests. The mixture-level tests are the modified AASHTO T-283 and dynamic modulus tests. The surface free energy (SFE), direct adhesion test (DAT) and blister test (BT) represent the component-level types.
Samples for the mixture-level tests were prepared at different aging and conditioning durations. Aging durations include one hour and four hours after mixing and prior to compaction; conditioning durations comprise one thawing cycle, three freezing and thawing (FT) cycles, and five FT cycles. Aging was also being considered at the component level by using the rolling thin film oven (RTFO) and pressure aging vessel (PAV). Each binder was tested at the virgin, RTFO, and PAV aging status.
The results from modified AASHTO T-283 test indicate that LAS and HL improved moisture resistance. RAP and modified mixes (mixes with SBS or with PPA+HL) were not efficient in reducing moisture susceptibility. Analyzing modified AASHTO T-283 results can be best evaluated using the modified Lottman test, if extensive conditioning is considered, at four hours aging with five FT cycles conditioning. Master curve obtained from the dynamic modulus test found to be not as effective as tensile strength for evaluating moisture damage in AC mixes. The improvement of AC with LAS and RAP is decreased with aging while AC with HL improvement increased with aging.
Aggregate had higher SFE than asphalt binder. It was found that AC mixes with LAS, HL and RAP produced the best performance considering moisture resistance when added to asphalt binder. PPA and SBS modifiers produced insignificant alteration of control asphalt binder SFE. Results from the SFE test suggest that there is no unique relation between SFE parameters (SFE, work of adhesion, and work of cohesion) and aging. Direct adhesion test (DAT) appears to be incapable of capturing aging impact on adhesion performance and unreliable in ranking and classifying asphalt binders. This could be related to the drawbacks in sample preparation, repeatability, and sample failure. The current blister test (BT) setup needs improvement to be able to properly assess the adhesion characteristics of asphalt binder.
The comparison of a component level parameter (SFE) with mixture-level parameter, tensile stress ration (TSR), showed that TSR and SFE are efficient in identifying the impact of additives on the moisture susceptibility of AC mixes and asphalt binders. However, dynamic modulus (E*) Ratio appears to have a potential for qualitatively evaluating moisture damage of AC mixes at excessive conditioning. This study found that adding LAS or HL are effective in reducing moisture susceptibility of AC mixtures.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Ibrahim Abuawad, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-21 at 21:56.The student, Ibrahim Abuawad, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-04-21 at 22:12.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-04-22 at 15:45.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9411 on 2016-07-07 at 13:50:34Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T20:27:55Z (GMT).
