    Including 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?

    Toward Earth-abundant Metals in Hydrodesulfurization Catalysts

    Increasingly stringent environmental regulations for the sulfur content in fuels pose significant technological challenges for refineries. Current single-stage hydrodesulfurization (HDS) technologies are not efficient enough to achieve ultra-deep levels of sulfur, 10 ppmw S for transportation, under non-severe operating conditions. Platinum-group catalysts in the second stage HDS require high hydrogen pressure, which increases capital and operational expenses. Despite a great progress, development of more efficient heterogeneous catalysts for both first and second stage HDS units using earth-abundant elements is still a challenge of paramount importance. Palladium (Pd) has shown outstanding performance in HDS of refractory sulfur compound 4,6-DMDBT through hydrogenation of aromatic ring. However, Pd is very scarce and sinters in high-temperature applications, which deactivates the catalysts and alters selectivity. The thermal stability of palladium was enhanced in this thesis through the formation of bimetallic nanostructures with yttrium, as a sintering-resistant element, via colloidal synthesis method. The addition of yttrium did not alter the overall HDS rate but doubled the ratio of direct desulfurization (DDS) to hydrogenation (HYD) selectivity and suppressed cracking twice as much as monometallic palladium catalyst did. This enabled the HDS process to be operated at a pressure as low as 1 MPa. The above-mentioned improvements were not achieved by the conventional impregnation synthesis method. As another alternative to the second-stage HDS catalysts, palladium species were reduced on the surface of colloidal iron (oxide) cores as nanosized islands using galvanic exchange reaction. The synergism between palladium species and iron oxide nanoparticles resulted in a four-fold enhancement in Pd-mass-based HDS activity at a reduced palladium loading. Pd dispersion and its HDS activity were maximized at the Pd/Fe molar ratio of 0.2. The incorporation of iron also improved the sulfur resistance of hydrogenation sites due to the higher affinity of sulfur to Fe as compared to Pd. For the first-stage HDS, niobium sulfide (NbS2) is proposed that is more abundant and intrinsically more active than MoS2 and WS2 catalysts in HDS, hydrodenitrogenation, and hydrocracking reactions. However, the formation of NbS2 via sulfidation of niobium oxides needs a high temperature above 700 °C due to the positive Gibbs free energy of sulfidation. It was shown for the first time that copper reduced the sulfidation/reduction temperature of Nb2O5 dramatically that consequently enhanced the HDS activity. The highest HDS activity of bulk NbCu catalysts prepared via coprecipitation technique was achieved at Cu/Nb molar ratio of 0.3. Copper also promoted DDS and HYD selectivities and suppressed hydrocracking. The strong interaction between Nb2O5 and oxide supports such as alumina makes the sulfidation of niobium oxide more difficult than that of bulk material. Among different support materials, carbon and alpha-alumina exhibited higher activities per mole of Nb and carbon support delivered the highest mass-based activity. Raman spectroscopy showed that various niobium oxides formed on the carbon support at different Nb loadings (from 2.0 to 12.0 wt%) exhibiting different sulfidation and catalytic behaviors. Niobium species at low loading (2.0 wt% Nb) showed the least sulfidation degree functioning as coordinatively unsaturated Lewis acid sites. This delivered the highest HDS activity per mole of Nb and an unprecedented hydrocracking selectivity of 71 % at 74 % conversion. Copper reduced sulfidation/reduction temperature of niobium oxide, improved the DDS selectivity, and reduced the hydrocracking selectivity to around 15 % over the entire Nb loadings. Colloidal synthesis methodology is a powerful technique to control the size and shape of nanostructures in a liquid phase. NbS2 nanostructures in different shapes such as nanosheets, nanohexagons, nanobars, and nanospheres were prepared in the liquid phase at a low temperature of 300 °C in the presence of (non-)coordinating solvent and capping ligand. The developed NbS2 nanostructures showed different catalytic behaviors in HDS of DBT depending on their shapes. The highest HDS activity and DDS selectivity were obtained on nanohexagons with abundant corner and edge active sites. This structure was twice more active than carbon-supported NbS2

    Syriac-Arabic Glosses of Isho bar Ali. Volume 2

    No full text
    These 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
