Between the Islamic and Chinese Universal Empires: The Ottoman Empire, Ming Dynasty, and Global Age of Explorations
Creators: name: Chen, Yuan Julian
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2021
Subjects: History

description: This article studies two sixteenth-century Asian texts: Khitay namah, a Persian travelogue about the Ming dynasty written by the Muslim merchant Ali Akbar and presented to the Ottoman sultan, and Xiyu, an illustrated Chinese geographical treatise with detailed travel itinerary from China to Istanbul by the Ming scholar-official Ma Li. In addition to demonstrating the breadth of Ottoman and Chinese knowledge about each other in the global Age of Exploration, these two books, written respectively for the monarchs of the self-proclaimed Islamic and Chinese universal empires, reflect the Ottoman and Chinese imperial ideologies in an era when major world powers aggressively vied for larger territories and broader international influence. Both the Ottoman and Chinese authors recast the foreign Other as the familiar Self – Ali Akbar constructed an Islamized China while Ma Li depicted a Sinicized Ottoman world – to justify their countries’ claims to universal sovereignty and plans for imperial expansion. Like many contemporary European colonial writers, Ali Akbar’s and Ma Li’s exploration of foreign societies, their literary glorification of their own culture’s supremacy, and their imposition of their own cultural thinking on foreign lands all served their countries’ colonial enterprise in the global Age of Exploration.

description: One-dimensional system of Brownian motions called Dyson's model is the particle system with long-range repulsive forces acting between any pair of particles, where the strength of force is $β/2$ times the inverse of particle distance. When $β=2$, it is realized as the Brownian motions in one dimension conditioned never to collide with each other. For any initial configuration, it is proved that Dyson's model with $β=2$ and $N$ particles, $\X(t)=(X_1(t), ..., X_N(t)), t \in [0,\infty), 2 \leq N < \infty$, is determinantal in the sense that any multitime correlation function is given by a determinant with a continuous kernel. The Airy function $\Ai(z)$ is an entire function with zeros all located on the negative part of the real axis $\R$. We consider Dyson's model with $β=2$ starting from the first $N$ zeros of $\Ai(z)$, $0 > a_1 > ... > a_N$, $N \geq 2$. In order to properly control the effect of such initial confinement of particles in the negative region of $\R$, we put the drift term to each Brownian motion, which increases in time as a parabolic function : $Y_j(t) = X_j(t) + t^2/4 + \{d_1 + \sum_{\ell=1}^N (1/a_{\ell})\}t, 1 \leq j \leq N$, where $d_1=\Ai'(0)/\Ai(0)$. We show that, as the $N \to \infty$ limit of $\Y(t)=(Y_1(t), ..., Y_N(t)), t \in [0, \infty)$, we obtain an infinite particle system, which is the relaxation process from the configuration, in which every zero of $\Ai(z)$ on the negative $\R$ is occupied by one particle, to the stationary state $μ_{\Ai}$. The stationary state $μ_{\Ai}$ is the determinantal point process with the Airy kernel, which is spatially inhomogeneous on $\R$ and in which the Tracy-Widom distribution describes the rightmost particle position.

description: In the framework of a two-moment photo-hydrodynamic modelling of radiation transport, we introduce a concept for the determination of effective radiation transport coefficients based on the minimization of the local entropy production rate of radiation and matter. The method provides the nonequilibrium photon distribution from which the effective absorption coefficients and the variable Eddington factor (VEF) can be calculated. The photon distribution depends on the frequency dependence of the absorption coefficient, in contrast to the distribution obtained by methods based on entropy maximization. The calculated mean absorption coefficients are not only correct in the limit of optically thick and thin media, but even provide a reasonable interpolation in the cross-over regime between these limits, notably without introducing any fit parameter. The method is illustrated and discussed for grey matter and for a simple example of non-grey matter with a two-band absorption spectrum. The method is also briefly compared with the maximum entropy concept.

description: Understanding and predicting changes in phytoplankton populations requires knowledge of losses due not only to sedimentation and grazing, but also to intrinsic processes (here, collectively termed ‘cell death’). Cell death is poorly understood, especially in freshwater phytoplankton, but experiments in culture often suggest involvement of abiotic factors (e.g. temperature, light, nutrients). The occurrence of cell death was examined in a simple, natural environment: a small, well-mixed, temperate, urban pond during a period of phytoplankton growth, from mid-July to mid-November. Abundances of 18 phytoplankton taxa were measured weekly and fluorescence microscopy and staining was used to detect dead cells (using SYTOX which measures loss of membrane integrity) and cells undergoing cell death (using Annexin-V, which measures lipid inversions of membranes, an early signal of cell death). Dead and dying cells occurred in most phytoplankton taxa, but incidence and timing varied considerably, e.g. species like the chlorophyte Ankistrodesmus spiralis showed 20–30% of cells staining with SYTOX and Annexin in late autumn when the population was decreasing, while the dinoflagellate Peridinium sp. showed staining of up to 50% of cells with STYOX throughout the period, and the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa occasionally showed staining of 100% of cells with SYTOX. Overall, there was some association between cell death staining and growth phase with 10–15% of the total community showing SYTOX and Annexin staining in late autumn, when most populations were declining. Cell death could not be correlated with thresholds or rapid changes in abiotic conditions (e.g. temperature, irradiance) or with indicators of nutrient limitation (e.g. N:P ratios). While abiotic factors have been clearly implicated in cell death within unialgal culture experiments, in natural freshwater ecosystems interactions between biotic factors, such as pathogens or allelopathy, may play greater roles in losses related to cell death and be distinct for different taxa.

description: To investigate the effects of ionic liquids (ILs) on the oxidative combustion characteristics of coal, four
types of imidazole ([EMIm][BF4], [BMIm][BF4], [BMIm][NO3], [BMIm][I]) were selected to treat coal
samples; pr-[BMIm][BF4] was processed one month ago. The thermogravimetry (TG) experiments and
oxidation kinetics analysis methods were employed to study the oxidation characteristics of ILs on coal,
such as characteristic temperature, thermal mass loss rate, and oxidation kinetics characteristic
parameters. The results showed that the characteristic temperatures of the treated coal samples increased.
Among them, the [BMIm][I]-treated coal samples increased cracking temperature (T1), maximum
oxidization mass gain (T2), ignition temperature (T3), burnout temperature (T4), minimum thermal rate
(Ta), maximum thermal energy (Tb), and maximum thermal rate (Tc) by 33.2, 29.3, 20.7, 42.8, 11.4, 23.0,
and 27.9Â°C, respectively. The increase mass ratio of coal samples treated with ILs increased and
decreased at the water evaporation and thermal decomposition stages. The apparent activation energy (Ea)
of coal samples treated with ILs increased, and the mechanism function also changed accordingly. These
showed that the ILs improved the thermal stability of the coal samples in the stages of absorbing oxygen
and increased mass, and the loss of combustion. The ILs caused damage to the molecular structure of the
coal, and ultimately effected changes in the combustion performance. In addition, the combustion
properties of the coal sample treated before one month were the same, indicating that the [BMIm][BF4]
did not weaken the inhibitory effectiveness of the coal sample over time, coal spontaneous combustion
could be effectively suppressed.

description: Many cyanobacterial morphospecies with hemispherical cells have been assigned to the genus Chroococcus, but increasingly genetic information has shown that the genus is polyphyletic. Here we describe two new genera based on two new species, Inacoccus gen. nov. based on Inacoccus carmineus sp. nov. and Cryptococcum gen. nov. based on Cryptococcum brasiliense sp. nov. Both genera have morphological features typical of the genus Chroococcus and are based on strains isolated from terrestrial habitats of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Inacoccus differs from Chroococcus in forming nanocytes and by producing an intensely red-coloured sheath. Cryptococcum is a cryptic genus and two species, C. brasiliense and C. komarkovaum, have been recognized by a molecular approach (16 rRNA and 16S-23S ITS sequences). The 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny indicates that these proposed genera form monophyletic clades apart from the Chroococcus sensu stricto cluster. Additionally, the tropical species Chroococcus subviolaceus was studied by molecular methods for the first time. The results confirmed a vast phylogenetic diversity hidden under the simple morphology of Chroococcus morphotypes, and show that terrestrial environments are a promising field of research.

description: Raphidiopsis (Cylindrospermopsis) raciborskii is one of the most studied potentially harmful cyanobacteria. Single environmental factors such as increased temperature or light are reported to be promoters of R. raciborskii growth, but the interaction of two or more promoting factors is less understood. The performance of two strains of R. raciborskii (MVCC19, Uruguayan and LP1, Brazilian) were evaluated under acclimation and temperature shifts (25–32°C) in combination with two transitions from phosphorus (P) sufficiency to limiting growth conditions. When subjected to transition from high P sufficiency to a P-limiting state, strains were able to grow only at the warmer temperature if previously acclimated. The MVCC19 strain showed higher specific growth rates and a shorter growth phase than LP1. Morphological differences were also found: the MVCC19 strain produced shorter filaments, while the LP1 strain increased in length and the number of cells per filament. The results show the positive effect of high temperature on the ability of R. raciborskii to withstand P-limiting conditions, which may confer resilience of populations to periods of severe nutrient limitation in warm lakes. This finding contributes to the understanding of the success of this species in diverse environmental conditions. The effect of temperature on the tolerance of nutrient deficiency and the performance of strains under lake conditions suggests the need for a drastic reduction in nutrient loads to avoid R. raciborskii dominance in warmer lakes.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This report was prepared to assess the relative merits of biomass combustion as a heat source for district energy systems in Vancouver. The intent is to build the City's capacity to both understand and evaluate options for thermal energy production, and to address citizen and interest group concerns related to air quality. The report is structured as follows and endeavours to answer the pertinent questions below: 1. Introduction 2. District Energy in Vancouver What is the existing state of district energy in Vancouver? What potential exists for the expansion of existing systems and/or introduction of new systems? 3. Biomass Combustion for District Energy Why is biomass combustion considered GHG-neutral? How is biomass currently used in Vancouver? Where else is biomass used for district energy? 4. Air Quality, Contaminants & Regulations What are the health-impacting air contaminants associated with the burning of biomass? What are the locally applicable emission regulations and/or permitting requirements? How do these regulations compare with those of other jurisdictions? 5. Biomass Combustion & Emission Control What burner technologies and air pollutant control measures are available? What are the typical and best achievable emission levels of air pollutants? How do boiler size and fuel type affect emission levels? How do emissions from biomass and natural gas combustion compare? How could these emissions impact ambient air quality? 6. Other Considerations How will the availability and quality of biomass fuels evolve over the coming decades? What strategies for public engagement and involvement are necessary to enable biomass DE systems where appropriate? How can biomass district energy be integrated into design and land use planning decisions? 7. Conclusions/Recommendations What can the City of Vancouver (and other municipalities) do to achieve climate objectives through biomass DE systems without compromising air quality objectives?

description: We characterize both analytically and numerically short-range forces between spatially diffuse interfaces in multi-phase-field models of polycrystalline materials. During late-stage solidification, crystal-melt interfaces may attract or repel each other depending on the degree of misorientation between impinging grains, temperature, composition, and stress. To characterize this interaction, we map the multi-phase-field equations for stationary interfaces to a multi-dimensional classical mechanical scattering problem. From the solution of this problem, we derive asymptotic forms for short-range forces between interfaces for distances larger than the interface thickness. The results show that forces are always attractive for traditional models where each phase-field represents the phase fraction of a given grain. Those predictions are validated by numerical computations of forces for all distances. Based on insights from the scattering problem, we propose a new multi-phase-field formulation that can describe both attractive and repulsive forces in real systems. This model is then used to investigate the influence of solute addition and a uniaxial stress perpendicular to the interface. Solute addition leads to bistability of different interfacial equilibrium states, with the temperature range of bistability increasing with strength of partitioning. Stress in turn, is shown to be equivalent to a temperature change through a standard Clausius-Clapeyron relation. The implications of those results for understanding grain boundary premelting are discussed.

Abundances of C, N, Sr and Ba on the red giant branch of omega Centauri

description: Abundances relative to iron for carbon, nitrogen, strontium and barium are presented for 33 stars on the red giant branch of the globular cluster omega Centauri. They are based on intermediate-resolution spectroscopic data covering the blue spectral region analyzed using spectrum synthesis techniques. The data reveal the existence of a broad range in the abundances of these elements, and a comparison with similar data for main sequence stars enables insight into the evolutionary history of the cluster. The majority of the red giant branch stars were found to be depleted in carbon, i.e. [C/Fe]<0, while [N/Fe] for the same stars shows a range of ~1 dex, from [N/Fe]~0.7 to 1.7 dex. The strontium-to-iron abundance ratios varied from solar to mildly enhanced (0.0<=[Sr/Fe]<=0.8), with [Ba/Fe] generally equal to or greater than [Sr/Fe]. The carbon and nitrogen abundance ratios for the one known CH star in the sample, ROA 279, are [C/Fe]=0.6 and [N/Fe]=0.5 dex. Evidence for evolutionary mixing on the red giant branch is found from the fact that the relative carbon abundances on the main sequence are generally higher than those on the red giant branch. However, comparison of the red giant branch and main sequence samples shows that the upper level of nitrogen enhancement is similar in both sets at [N/Fe]~2.0dex. This is most likely the result of primordial rather than evolutionary mixing processes. One red giant branch star, ROA 276, was found to have Sr and Ba abundance ratios. High resolution spectra of ROA 276 were obtained with the Magellan Telescope/MIKE spectrograph combination to confirm this result, revealing that ROA 276 is indeed an unusual star. For this star calculations of the depletion effect strongly suggest that the observed Sr enhancement in ROA 276 is of primordial origin, rather than originating from a surface accretion event.

description: Most of the data on biodiversity, ecology and biogeography of microalgae and cyanobacteria are based on classical morphological approaches. However, morphological identification of these microorganisms is often possible only to higher taxonomic ranks such as genus, because of low morphological diversity and high variability along with the presence of cryptic taxa. This study compared the species composition of cyanobacteria, and green and streptophyte microalgae, isolated from biological soil crusts (BSCs) of maritime sand dunes (Baltic Sea, Germany) and identified through culture-dependent morphological methods combined with molecular phylogenetic data. Phylogenetic analyses (based on SSU rRNA and ITS-1,2 for microalgae, or the SSU-LSU ITS region for cyanobacteria) provided unambiguous identifications of 20 strains (37.7% of all strains investigated) to species level; the identifications had to be corrected after preliminary morphological determination of eight strains. For 27 strains (50.9%), identification with molecular markers was possible only to genus or group of closely related species, because a modern taxonomic revision of these taxa is preliminary, incomplete or non-existent. Identification to genus was problematic for six strains (11.3%). This combination of morphological and molecular methods (integrative approach) resulted in the discovery of rare, taxonomically or ecologically interesting taxa, and in the description of a new species of Tetradesmus (T. arenicola sp. nov.), a new combination for Chlamydomonas callunae (Heterochlamydomonas callunae comb. nov.), epitypification of the rare alga Actinochloris sphaerica and emendation of the recently described Eremochloris sphaerica. A microscopic culture-dependent method and an integrative approach provided similar results concerning the cyanobacterial and algal diversity of BSCs of Baltic sand dunes in general. However, this investigation using an integrative approach allowed us to precisely identify species of several important taxa (the most common and dominant species) in the community structure of BSCs, and also certain rare representatives.

description: The reduction of CO2 into valuable chemicals through electrocatalytic techniques provides a potential strategy to alleviate energy crises and environmental pollution. In this study, 2D M3(THT)2 (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, THT = 2,3,6,7,10,11-triphenylenehexathiolate) framework as CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) electrocatalysts was investigated by using the density functional method. The results showed that the studied catalysts are stable both thermodynamically and electrochemically. Rh3(THT)2 exhibits the best catalytic performance to produce CH4 with the overpotential of 0.61 V in the gas phase and 0.63 V in solution. The inactive hydrogen evolution reaction in Rh3(THT)2 would favour CO2RR. For Fe3(THT)2 and Ru3(THT)2, the main product is CO. However, the strong CO adsorption on the catalyst surface can lead to catalyst to be poisoned, which makes Fe3(THT)2 and Ru3(THT)2 to be poor CO2RR catalysts. We anticipate that this work may provide a new avenue for the development of high-performance 2D metal-organic framework-based electrocatalysts.

description: This report presents the findings of a QAA funded collaborative project that explored differing perceptions of quality of learning of ethnically diverse students at Level 4 and Level 5 on specific programmes (Engineering, Computing, Business and Adult Nursing) to gain further insights into their perceptions as well as their learning, teaching and assessment experiences during the pandemic (academic year 2020/21) aiming to inform practice and policy.
Participation in the research required participants to complete a survey questionnaire and/or attend an online focus group..
This was a collaborative project, and the project team involved members from four universities (the University of Portsmouth, Manchester Metropolitan University, Solent University, and the University of Nottingham). The University of Portsmouth was the lead partner and was responsible for the analysis of the survey and focus group data.
The total number of students participating from all four institution was 835 who filled out the survey. Nine focus groups were organised with 33 students. The key findings are the following as articulated in the report (Dunbar-Morris et al., 2021):
1. Experience of factors related to wellbeing falls short of expectations
2. Value of recordings of teaching materials was high
3. The contribution of group work to learning was perceived as low
4. Overall satisfaction with teaching and learning varied considerably by ethnicity
5. Engagement is higher on campus than online, and overall engagement varies by ethnicity
6. Health science had a better experience than other subject areas.
Another Look at Erupting Minifilaments at the Base of Solar X-Ray Polar Coronal "Standard" and "Blowout" Jets

description: We examine 21 solar polar coronal jets that we identify in soft X-ray images obtained from the Hinode/X-ray telescope (XRT). We identify 11 of these jets as blowout jets and four as standard jets (with six uncertain), based on their X-ray-spire widths being respectively wide or narrow (compared to the jet's base) in the XRT images. From corresponding Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory's (SDO) Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), essentially all (at least 20 of 21) of the jets are made by minifilament eruptions, consistent with other recent studies. Here, we examine the detailed nature of the erupting minifilaments (EMFs) in the jet bases. Wide-spire ("blowout") jets often have ejective EMFs, but sometimes they instead have an EMF that is mostly confined to the jet's base rather than ejected. We also demonstrate that narrow-spire ("standard") jets can have either a confined EMF, or a partially confined EMF where some of the cool minifilament leaks into the jet's spire. Regarding EMF visibility: we find that in some cases the minifilament is apparent in as few as one of the four EUV channels we examined, being essentially invisible in the other channels; thus it is necessary to examine images from multiple EUV channels before concluding that a jet does not have an EMF at its base. The size of the EMFs, measured projected against the sky and early in their eruption, is 14'' +- 7'', which is within a factor of two of other measured sizes of coronal-jet EMFs.

On The Problem of the Quantum Heterotic Vortex

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We address the problem of non-Abelian super-QCD, with a Fayet-Iliopoulos term, as seen from the vortex worldsheet perspective. Together with the FI term $ξ$, also a mass $μ$ for the adjoint superfield $Φ$ enters in the game. This mass allows the interpolation between $\N=2$ and $\N=1$ super-QCD. While the phenomenology of the $\N=2$ case ($μ=0$) is pretty much understood, much remains to be clarified for the finite-$μ$ case. We distinguish, inside the parameter space spanned by the FI term and the mass $μ$, four different corners where some quantitative statements can be made. These are the regions where the strong dynamics can, in some approximation, be quantitatively analyzed. We focus in particular on two questions: 1) Is the quantum vortex BPS or non-BPS? 2) What is the phase of the internal non-Abelian moduli? We find that the answer to these questions strongly depends upon the choice of the linear term in the superpotential. We also try to explain what happens in the most unexplored, and controversial, region of parameters, that of the quantum heterotic vortex, where $Λ\ll \sqrtξ \ll μ$.

description: Building on the efforts of reconnecting city dwellers with theirs food system, the agricultural road proposes to re-shape one of the City of Vancouver’s low-transit street into a vibrant multipurpose space for growing food. Agricultural road could be defined as a pedestrian-oriented area which shall offer room for the allocation of plots for urban agriculture while achieving a series of other sustainable urban development outcomes such as social inclusion, open public recreational space, greening the urban landscape, non motorized transportation infrastructure, community engagement, storm-water management, etc. In the task of reinventing the relationship between citizens and food a change of paradigm will be required. The agricultural road offers not only an actual space in which Vancouverites can grow edible plants, but more important it offers a place to discuss, to educate, to cultivate ideas that would lead to moving beyond current urban feeding paradigms towards a reconnection between urban life and one of the most important elements required to support it: food.

description: We consider the statistical properties of photon detection with imperfect detectors that exhibit dark counts and less than unit efficiency, in the context of tomographic reconstruction. In this context, the detectors are used to implement certain POVMs that would allow to reconstruct the quantum state or quantum process under consideration. Here we look at the intermediate step of inferring outcome probabilities from measured outcome frequencies, and show how this inference can be performed in a statistically sound way in the presence of detector imperfections. Merging outcome probabilities for different sets of POVMs into a consistent quantum state picture has been treated elsewhere [K.M.R. Audenaert and S. Scheel, New J. Phys. 11, 023028 (2009)]. Single-photon pulsed measurements as well as continuous wave measurements are covered.

description: The Software Companies of Bangladesh are using different types of agile models for software development. Although theoretically these models are worthy for small and medium projects, in practical case they are not so effective. In doing so, this paper tries to find out why do the agile models not suitable for Bangladesh’s Software Companies and how do the problems that the Software Companies face for using the models can be solved. To reveal the answers, this study is based on survey and interview methods. Findings of this paper show that Bangladesh's Software Companies are facing different problems for implementing traditional agile models, such as, Communicational gap, lack of Documentation, unavailability of Prototype, Customer’s lack of knowledge in the area of IT and many more. The study shows that if the Requirement Engineering Process is perfectly managed and some rules are modified in the traditional agile models, these problems can be solved. In doing so, a new model has been proposed by the study named Refined Agile Model (RAM) which is claimed to be better for Bangladesh rather than the traditional Agile Models. This model proposes a process flow which consists of Prototyping Cycle, Development Iteration Cycle and Additional Development Iteration Cycle. This new model also ensures a Requirement Engineer at Client End, sufficient documentation, preparation of prototype and presentation of frequent Demos. After ensuring these requirements in several real time projects, it was found that those projects were completed more effectively compared to all other old project experiences. Eventually, the paper concludes by mentioning that the Refined Agile Model (RAM) is the best model in the Bangladeshi software environment

description: Trapping of hot electron behavior by trap centers located in buffer layer of a wurtzite phase GaN MESFET has been simulated using an ensemble Monte Carlo simulation. The results of the simulation show that the trap centers are responsible for current collapse in GaN MESFET at low temperatures. These electrical traps degrade the performance of the device at low temperature. On the opposite, a light-induced increase in the trap-limited drain current, results from the photoionization of trapped carriers and their return to the channel under the influence of the built in electric field associated with the trapped charge distribution. The simulated device geometries and doping are matched to the nominal parameters described for the experimental structures as closely as possible, and the predicted drain current and other electrical characteristics for the simulated device including trapping center effects show close agreement with the available experimental data.

description: Electron pairing in one-dimensional binary Hubbard chains is studied for different values of the band-filling using the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method. The systems consist of linear arrays of sites with two types of on-site correlations defined by two potentials: U_A being attractive (< 0), and U_B repulsive (> 0). The atomic levels of the system are modulated with periodic and quasiperiodic ordering, in the latter case following the Fibonacci sequence. We analyze the effect of such modulations and calculate the electron pairing phase diagram as a function of the band-filling. It is observed that there is a critical value of the band-filling where the behavior of the periodic and the Fibonacci binary Hubbard chains is reversed.
