He serves as a Middle East commentator for National Public Radio\u27s Marketplace and Muslim affairs analyst for CBS News.
The author of the internationally acclaimed No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, Aslan received critical acclaim from The New York Times, which described the work as a grippingly narrated and thoughtfully examined ... literate, accessible introduction to Islam.

After consecutive nuclear tests by India and Pakistan, the WCRP, under Aslan\u27s leadership, brought the ambassadors of the two countries to Harvard in order to discuss for the first time their shared nuclear future.
Aslan\u27s work with the WCRP led to a position as legislative assistant for the Friends Committee on National Legislation in Washington, D.C., where he served as a liaison to Congress on issues of arms control and the Middle East.

Soft but still concerns
Get PDFStarting from the switch from institutionalized state to the concept of homeland and related security measures and initiatives the paper will focus on soft concerns like illegal immigration, uprisings, terrorism, pandemic diseases, natural disasters, misuse of cyber space, economic speculations etc. Soft concerns potential impact and possible counter measures or mitigation actions. Both citizens perception of homeland and potential security risks evolved in recent times, globalization and on-line communication had a deep influence on citizens’ perceptions and lifestyle. As a side effect of globalisation and massive cyber services the number of crimes both perpetrated at local and global level is growing up. Governments and Law Enforcement Agencies are aware of this and look for potential countermeasures not only following traditional solutions. A kind of butterfly effect that propagates in real-time from continent to continent. So, if one of the key enablers of soft concerns is cyber technology this is even one of the most relevant countermeasures.
This proceeding provides a synthetic description of the discontinuity between the evolution of warfare as it was in a pre-cyber era and the switch to the different levels of cyber “warfare”. There is a clear need to adopt a renovated set of countermeasures to face and possibly cancel or mitigate new threats.

The Wrath of God: Reza Aslan on Faith, Islam and the Media
No full textApart from being an exceptionally intelligent writer, religious scholar Reza Aslan is quickly gaining a reputation for being one of the most patient men on television.More than once, he has painstakingly explained to TV hosts that their less-than-sophisticated stands on Islam may be founded on flimsy and dangerous assumptions. He gained international recognition for his Fox News interview that went viral, and more recently, Aslan’s nuanced response to Bill Maher’s rant.Aslan returned to Vancouver to unpack the arguments around religion and violence. Touching on a range of topics from identity to ISIS, Aslan argued that no religion exists in a vacuum. Every faith is rooted in the soil in which it is planted.“Using two or three examples to justify a generalization. That’s actually the definition of bigotry.” – Reza Aslan (response to Bill Maher)Reza Aslan, an internationally acclaimed writer and scholar of religions, is author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth. He is the founder of AslanMedia, a social media network for news and entertainment about the Middle East and the world, and co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of BoomGen Studios, the premier entertainment brand for creative content from and about the Greater Middle East. Aslan’s first book is the International Bestseller, No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, which has been translated into seventeen languages, and named one of the 100 most important books of the last decade. He is also the author of How to Win a Cosmic War, as well as editor of two volumes: Tablet and Pen: Literary Landscapes from the Modern Middle East, and Muslims and Jews in America: Commonalities, Contentions, and Complexities. Born in Iran, he lives in Los Angeles with his wife (author and entrepreneur Jessica Jackley). When Aslan is not working on his own writing, he serves as a writing consultant in television on the upcoming show, DIG, with Tim Kring and Gideon Raff
Reza Aslan - Author of No god but God and Expert on Islam

Aslan is a fellow at the University of Southern California\u27s Center on Public Diplomacy and Middle East analyst for CBS News. In his internationally acclaimed book No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, as in his lectures and writings, Aslan explores the intricate interplay between faith and politics in the Muslim world, presenting Islam as an ever-evolving faith and culture currently in the midst of a cataclysmic internal battle for reform and modernization.

Vibrational properties of the As-deposited InP(110) surface
No full textWe report on the vibrational properties of arsenic-deposited InP(110) surface based on investigations carried out using an adiabatic bond charge model. We have considered two structural models: epitaxially continued layer structure and an exchange-reacted structure. The structural and electronic information necessary for these calculations is obtained using the ab initio pseudopotential method. For both structural models, we find that deposition of As on InP(110) results in several characteristic new phonon modes in the bulk acoustical-optical gap range, with the density of states for the exchange-reacted model characterised by a clear gap of 10 meV.

DiCLE UNIVERSITY 1st INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE SYMPOSIUM -DİCLE ÜNİVERSİTESİ 1. ULUSLARARASI MİMARLIK SEMPOZYUMU-, 2018
No full textÇalışma kapsamında Turabdin bölgesinde günümüzde tamamı Süryani nüfusuna sahip Elbeğendi (Kafro Tahtayto) köyündeki en büyük kilise olan Mor Yakup Kilisesi’nin koruma
projeleri hazırlanmıştır. Hazırlanan koruma projesi ile parokial plan tipine sahip bu kültür
varlığının belgelenmesi yapılmış; Turabdin yerleşkesi ve topografyası üzerinden kutsal mekânların analizi, kutsallığın dini mimariye yansıması gibi faktörler üzerinde durulmuştur.
Alınan tüm restorasyon kararları kırsal dini mimariyi anlamak adına önemli bir kültür varlığı
olan Mor Yakup Kilisesi’nin daha uzun yıllar yaşatılmasını sağlamaya yöneliktir.
Restorasyonda yapılacak hataların sonradan yapıya daha çok zarar vermemesi için, önerilen bütün müdahalelerin restorasyon konusunda uzman mimar, mühendisler ve ustalar tarafından uygulanması gerekmektedir. Bu kapsamda bölgedeki yanlış restorasyon uygulamaların önüne geçmek için ve yapıları daha uzun yıllar ayakta kalabilmesini sağlamak için Mor Yakup Kilisesi özelinde yapılan bu rölöve, restitüsyon projesi ve restorasyon projesi gibi çalışmaların tüm Turabdin Kiliselerine uygulanması ve belgelenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu yapıların cemaate kazandırılması dışında dini turizme hizmet eden “ziyaret kilise” olarak işlevlendirilmeleri, kırsal turizm içinde yer alarak turizmin kırsalda da canlanması, bu yapıların korunarak yaşatılması ve gelecek nesillere aktarılması amaçlanmalıdır.
Anıt hakkında, araştırmacıların görüşleri ve yerel söylenceler farklılık arz etmektedir. Çalışmada bu görüşler karşılaştırılıp yapının analitik incelemeleri yapılarak bilgi kirliliğinin giderilmesine çalışılmıştır. Tarihi kültür mirası olan kilisenin geçirdiği değişiklikler, anıtın korunmuşluk ve özgünlük durumu araştırılmış, yeni verilere ulaşılmıştır.
