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.

For Inquires: Please, contact Professor Fallou Ngom ([email protected])These materials are a collection of Wolof Ajami (Wolofal) poems by Serigne Mor Kayre (1869-1951). Red and black ink are used in the first set of original manuscripts. The red ink is used to highlight key words and phrases. There are also insertions of Arabic words and phrases, including in opening and closing formulae. The collection contains a hagiography of Prophet Muhammad, his family members and his miracles; a discussion on the battle of Badr; a song dedicated to Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba; a discussion on the norms for the construction of a mosque; a tribute to Serigne Modou Moustapha Mbacke (the first khalifa of the Muridiyya order); a tribute to Serigne Moussa Ka (his fellow Murid disciple and poet); and a table of contents summarizing the author's key pieces of work, among others.
Materials consist of 17 pages of the original manuscript and 53 photocopies of some of Serigne Mor Kayre's work copied by hand. Serigne Mor Kayre is the author and scribe of the 17 original pages, but the copyist of the 53 photocopied pages of his work is unknown.

Due to the age and poor quality of the photocopy of some pages, some lines are a hard to read. Many of Mor Kayre's original works are lost.This collection of Wolofal (Wolof Ajami) materials is copied as part of the EAP 334 Project (Digital Preservation of Wolof Ajami manuscripts of Senegal) led by Dr. Fallou Ngom in collaboration with WARA/WARC and Boston University Library.

and H‐MOR Catalysts
No full textA combined catalyst comprising TiO2-supported Re (Re(1)/TiO2; Re=1 wt\%) and H-MOR (SiO2/Al2O3=90) was found to promote the methylation of benzene using CO2 and H2. This catalytic system exhibited high performance with regard to the synthesis of methylated benzenes and gave high yields of total methylated products (up to 52 \% benzene-based yield and 42 \% CO2-based yield) under the reaction conditions employed in this study (pCO2=1 MPa; pH2=5 MPa; T=250 °C; t=20 h) in a batch reactor. Catalyst screening demonstrated that a combination of Re(1)/TiO2 and H-MOR (SiO2/Al2O3=90) exhibited superior performance compared to other combinations of supported metal catalysts and zeolites in terms of both yield and selectivity for methylated benzenes
Cover Picture: Progress in Hyperpolarized Ultrafast 2D NMR Spectroscopy (ChemPhysChem 16/2008)
No full textUnderstanding Gender Equity in Author Order Assignment
No full textWomen remain underrepresented in many fields in computer science, particularly at higher levels. In academia, success and promotion are influenced by a researcher's publication record. In many fields, including computer science, multi-author papers are the norm. Evidence from other fields shows that author order norms can influence the assignment of credit. We conduct interviews of students and faculty in human-computer interaction (HCI) and machine learning (ML) to determine factors related to assignment of author order in collaborative publication. The outcomes of these interviews then informed metrics of interest for a bibliometric analysis of gender and collaboration in research papers published from 1996 to 2016 in three top HCI and ML conferences. Based on our findings, we make recommendations for assignment of credit in multi-author papers and interpretation of author order, particularly in regard to how this area affects women
Principles and Progress in Ultrafast Multidimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
No full textMultidimensional acquisitions play a central role in the progress and applications of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Such experiments have been collected traditionally as an array of one-dimensional scans, with suitably incremented delay parameters that encode along independent temporal domains the nD spectral distribution being sought. During the past few years, an ultrafast approach to nD NMR has been introduced that is capable of delivering any type of multidimensional spectrum in a single transient. This method operates by departing from the canonical nD NMR scheme and by replacing its temporal encoding with a series of spatial manipulations derived from magnetic resonance imaging. The present survey introduces the main principles of this subsecond approach to spectroscopy, focusing on the applications that have hitherto been demonstrated for single-scan two-dimensional NMR in different areas of chemistry.IPS
