Aadivaara (Sunday) Maalai (Evening) Sermon by Pandit Iyothee Thass
No full textIyothee Thass Pandit established the 'South Indian Sakya Buddhist Association' (1898) in Rayapetta, Chennai and through it he did various things for Buddhist revival and social change. One of them was the evening sermon held every Sunday. From 1907 to 1914 more than twenty sermon summaries appeared in the magazine 'Tamil'. At that time, Pandit Ayodhitasa's sermons helped a lot in enlightening the people. The ideologies that had dominated the society and the common people for a long time were rendered meaningless after the preaching of Pandit Iyothee Thass. His activities were primarily to restore Buddhism at the cultural level and to eradicate politically and oppose the intrigues that surrounded the common people. Who is man? What is religion? Who is Brahmin? The sermons are based on the answers to the questions included. He preached on the truth of the Bhagavad Gita, the origin of the name India, the differences in the history of the Buddha, etc., in a rational and Buddhist context, with literary flair and satire. These are innovative and primary to today's world of knowledge. M. Singaravelar, who operated in the field of knowledge in the twentieth century, P. Lakshmi Narasu, K. Swapaneshwari Ambal and others preached at the Buddhist Society and supported the social change. Pandit has also delivered speeches along with eminent personalities with intellectual backgrounds. The sermons initiated by the Pandit were conducted in many branches of the South Indian Sakya Buddhist Association. The Buddhist association of Kolar Gold Field, Bangalore, Irangoon (Burma), Tirupattur, Nettal (South Africa) carried out the preaching very well. Youth associations which functioned as a part of the Buddhist association also gave importance to preaching. The seed of preaching planted by the Pandit through the Buddhist association grew into a huge bodhi tree during his lifetime. It is the ideological extension of the Aadivaara (Sunday) Malai (Evening) sermon that continues in today's Buddhist and rationalist movements

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
Antique tapestries and carpets
No full textSummary The essay introduces the experimental research approach of textiles HUB, a multidisciplinary Laboratory at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, that sees textiles as the main interest of research activities that are ranging from architecture to construction and civil engineering, from industrial to fashion design, from material engineering to mechanics, and from building physics to chemistry. The essays deals with the role of ancient textile surfaces—tapestries (intended as vertical surfaces) and carpets (horizontal ones) as the crucial roles: a) historical testimony; b) indoor conditions mitigation. Comparative studies of the stylistic patterns allow these artifacts to be defined in terms of techniques and materials, with the final aim to define the place of origin. Even in the case in which the carpet carries the date (usually in the Islamic calendar), the assessment of their dating just by the radiocarbon (AMS C14) technique remains critical; indeed, the calibration curves available, when applied to the last 200 years of history, does not allow reliability of the order of the decade, as would be required in our case. The authors eventually present the methodology and development of a complementary analysis technique, based on other physical chemical observations on the carpet wool, with the aim to complement the use of the AMS C14 techniques. In particular, through the use of the FT-IR spectroscopic technique, significant data are obtained on wool fibers and on the processing processes of wool yarns, highlighting important information on the state of conservation and on the aging processes of the textile artifact

Semiflexible equilibrium polymers: A self-assembling molecular model
No full textWe propose a continuum molecular model for self-assembling, semiflexible,
equilibrium polymers and study its statistical mechanics by Monte Carlo (MC)
simulations. If the temperature (T) is high, we find a disordered phase
in which the mean length of polymers is
small. A first-order transition separates it from a low-T
phase in which is larger and the
semiflexible polymers are aligned enough to yield nematic
ordering. Disordered, glassy states can be obtained at low T; we
study these by an MC analogue of scanning calorimetry (Menon G. I., Pandit R. and Barma M.,
Europhys. Lett., 24 (1993) 253;
Menon G. I. and Pandit R., Phys. Rev. Lett., 75 (1995) 4638;
Phys. Rev. E, 59 (1999) 787).
We also use an MC method to study shear alignment of polymers
