Minorities and the Making of Postcolonial States in International Law
No full textThe ideological function of the postcolonial 'national', 'liberal', and 'developmental' state inflicts various forms of marginalisation on minorities, but simultaneously justifies oppression in the name of national unity, equality and non-discrimination, and economic development. International law plays a central role in the ideological making of the postcolonial state in relation to postcolonial boundaries, the liberal-individualist architecture of rights, and the neoliberal economic vision of development. In this process, international law subjugates minority interests and in turn aggravates the problem of ethno-nationalism. Analysing the geneses of ethno-nationalism in postcolonial states, Mohammad Shahabuddin substantiates these arguments with in-depth case studies on the Rohingya and the hill people of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, against the historical backdrop of the minority question in Indian nationalist and constitutional discourse. Shahabuddin also proposes alternative international law frameworks for minorities

Structural, Magnetic Properties and Mossbauer Analysis of Gd2Fe17-x-yNbxAly Compounds
Full text linkShahabuddin, Mohammad. M.S. The University of Memphis. August/2014. Structural, Magnetic Properties and Mössbauer Analysis of Gd2Fe17-x-yNbxAly alloys. Major Professor: Sanjay R. Mishra, PhD.Binary rare-earth (R)-iron inter-metallic compounds with Th2Ni17 and Th2Zn17 structure have been extensively studied for their potential application as permanent magnets. The main drawbacks of these materials are low Curie temperature (Tc) and magnetic anisotropies. This thesis presents the effects of doubly substitution of iron atoms in R2Fe17 (R: Gd) with bigger non-magnetic Nb atoms and smaller non-magnetic Al atoms with changes in the structural and magnetic properties of the Gd2Fe17-x-yNbxAly (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.75 for Nb and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3.0 for Al) compounds. The structural and magnetic properties of these compounds have been studied via x-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and 57Fe Mössbauer Spectroscopy. An increase in unit cell volume with the increase in Nb and Al content is observed in Gd2Fe17-x-yNb xAly. The Curie temperature (Tc) of Gd2Fe17-x-yNb xAly reaches a maximum value of 525K at Nb x = 0.75 and Al y = 2 substitution respectively. These observed values of Tc in Gd2Fe17-x-yNbxAly is 105 K higher than unsubstituted Gd2Fe17 (Tc = 420 K). This improvement in Tc is attributed to improved Fe-Fe exchange interaction due to unit cell volume expansion. The magnetization value of Gd2Fe17-yAly and Gd2Fe16.75-yNb0.25Aly decreased at the rate of 9.545 emu/gm and 9.244 emu/gm per Al atom respectively due to magnetic dilution. The room temperature Mössbauer analysis showed that the hyperfine field value decreased with Nb and Al doping due to decrease in magnetic moment of Fe atoms upon substitution. The isomer shift (IS) showed an increase with substitution due to an increase in volume expansion and decrease in s-electron density. Overall present study successfully shows improvement in Tc of co-doped Nb-Al Gd2Fe17-x-y NbxAly without much deterioration in magnetization. Thus the present Gd2Fe17-x-y NbxAly compound may find high temperature industrial applications
Mathematics, Logic, and their Philosophies:Essays in Honour of Mohammad Ardeshir
No full textThis volume is a collection of essays in honour of Professor Mohammad Ardeshir. It examines topics which, in one way or another, are connected to the various aspects of his multidisciplinary research interests. Based on this criterion, the book is divided into three general categories. The first category includes papers on non-classical logics, including intuitionistic logic, constructive logic, basic logic, and substructural logic. The second category is made up of papers discussing issues in the contemporary philosophy of mathematics and logic. The third category contains papers on Avicenna’s logic and philosophy.Mohammad Ardeshir is a full professor of mathematical logic at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, where he has taught generations of students for around a quarter century. Mohammad Ardeshir is known in the first place for his prominent works in basic logic and constructive mathematics. His areas of interest are however much broader and include topics in intuitionistic philosophy of mathematics and Arabic philosophy of logic and mathematics. In addition to numerous research articles in leading international journals, Ardeshir is the author of a highly praised Persian textbook in mathematical logic. Partly through his writings and translations, the school of mathematical intuitionism was introduced to the Iranian academic community
