A New Source on the Social Gatherings (majalis) of the Mamluk Sultan Qānṣawh al-Ghawrī
Creators: name: Mauder, Christian

description: S ince Mohammad Awad’s pioneering work in 1940, the learned social gatherings (majālis) of the penultimate Mamluk Sultan Qānṣawh al-Ghawrī (r. 906-922/1501-1516) have helped produce a small, but lively scholarship on the courtly life of the late Mamluk period.1 Doubtless, such interest has been fueled largely by ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ʿAzzām’s 1941 edition of two Arabic sources that focus on the majālis: Nafāʾis majālis al-sulṭāniyya fī ḥaqāʾiq asrār al-Qurʾāniyya (sic) of the little known author al-Sharīf Ḥusayn b. Muḥammad al-Ḥusaynī (f. early 10th/16th c.), and al-Kawkab al-durrī fī masāʾil al-Ghawrī of unknown authorship.

description: We consider an autonomous system of partial differential equations for one-dimensional distributed medium with periodic boundary conditions. Dynamics in time consists of alternating birth and death of patterns with spatial phases transformed from one stage of activity to another by the doubly expanding circle map. So, attractor in the Poincaré section is uniformly hyperbolic, a kind of Smale-Williams solenoid. Finite-dimensional models are derived as ordinary differential equations for amplitudes of spatial Fourier modes (the 5D and 7D models). Correspondence of the reduced models to the original system is demonstrated numerically. Computational verification of the hyperbolicity criterion is performed for the reduced models: the distribution of angles of intersection for stable and unstable manifolds on the attractor is separated from zero, i.e. the touches are excluded. The considered example gives a partial justification to the old hopes that chaotic behavior of autonomous distributed systems may be associated with uniformly hyperbolic attractors.

Dimensional Crossover of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov State in Strongly Pauli-Limited Quasi-One-Dimensional Superconductors
Creators: name: Miyawaki, Nobumi

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state is examined in quasi-one-dimensional s-wave and d-wave superconductors with particular attention paid to the effect of the Fermi-surface anisotropy. The upper critical field $H_{c2}(T)$ is found to exhibit a qualitatively different behavior depending on the ratio of the hopping energies $t_b/t_a$ and the direction of the FFLO modulation vector q, where $t_a$ and $t_b$ are the intra- and interchain hopping energies, respectively. In particular, when $t_b/t_a < 0.1$ and $\mathbf{q} \parallel \mathbf{a}$, we find a novel dimensional crossover of $H_{c2}(T)$ from one dimension to two dimensions, where a is the lattice vector of the most conductive chain. Just below the tricritical temperature $T^*$, the upper critical field $H_{c2}(T)$ increases steeply as in one-dimensional systems, but when the temperature decreases, the rate of increase in $H_{c2}(T)$ diminishes and a shoulder appears. Near $T = 0$, $H_{c2}(T)$ shows a behavior typical of the FFLO state in two-dimensional systems, i.e., an upturn with a finite field at $T = 0$. When the angle between $\mathbf{q}$ and $\mathbf{a}$ is large, the upper critical field curve is convex upward at low temperatures, as in three-dimensional systems, but the magnitude is much larger than that of a three-dimensional isotropic system. For $t_b/t_a > 0.15$, the upper critical fields exhibit a two-dimensional behavior, except for a slight shoulder in the range of $0.2 > t_b/t_a > 0.15$. The upper critical field is maximum for $\mathbf{q} \parallel \mathbf{a}$ both for s-wave and d-wave pairings, while it is only slightly larger than the Pauli paramagnetic limit for $\mathbf{q} \perp \mathbf{a}$. The relevance of the present results to the organic superconductor ${\rm (TMTSF)_2ClO_4}$ is discussed.

Subjects: classificationCode: 440899
subject: Political science not elsewhere classified

description: This article examines the impact of European Union's (EU) Counter-Terrorism Strategy on European security, considering recent developments and challenges. This investigation seeks to answer two pivotal questions: (1) How do varying counter-terrorism approaches impact the effectiveness of European security measures against terrorist threats? (2) How does cooperation or divergence in counter-terrorism strategies influence Europe's broader security environment? The research explores key developments in European counter-terrorism cooperation and analyzes the effects of regional cooperation on European security dynamics, drawing on empirical evidence from recent terrorist attacks and counter-terrorism operations. Findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive and coordinated European counter-terrorism strategy, which addresses immediate security concerns and long-term drivers of radicalization and extremism. The research utilizes the method of Library Resources and Documentary Research, analyzing existing literature, academic publications, reports, and relevant documents related to counter-terrorism strategies, European security, and the interplay between terrorism and counter-terrorism in the region. The article also presents a theoretical framework of institutional cooperation to understand the implications of counter-terrorism strategies on European security. It highlights the significance of intelligence sharing, legal harmonization, capacity-building, and addressing challenges within regional and international collaborations.
Ta!kirah-i Khayr al-bayān: The Earliest Source on the Career and Poetry of Ṣā#ib Tabrīzī (d. ca. 1087/1676)
Creators: name: Beers, Theodore S.
Publisher: name: Al-ʿUsur al-Wusta
Year: 2016

description: In this article, I describe a source which represents by far our earliest documentation of the career and poetry of Ṣāʾib Tabrīzī (d. ca. 1087/1676), and which has gone largely unaddressed in scholarship. It occurs in a still-unpublished biographical dictionary (taẕkirah) of poets entitled Khayr al-bayān, written by Malik Shāh Ḥusayn Sīstānī and known to survive in several manuscripts. The oldest, and possibly the only complete copy, is MS Or. 3397 at the British Library.1 Shāh Ḥusayn wrote this taẕkirah between 1017/1608–9 and 1036/1627; the section containing the notice on Ṣāʾib was added in 1035/1625–6. Signifcantly, Or. 3397 was copied in 1041/1631 by a scribe named Muḥammad Mīrak b. Khwājah Mīr Farāhī. This means that the text of the passage on Ṣāʾib dates to shortly after his emigration to Kabul (thence to India) in 1034/1624–5, while our manuscript dates to shortly before he left Kashmir to return to Iran in 1042/1632. The source thus falls entirely within the period of young Ṣāʾib’s seven-year adventure on the Indian Subcontinent, and represents a rare vignette of the beginning of an illustrious career. Since it is important that we treat taẕkirahs as valuable and multifaceted works in their own right, this article begins with an overview of the Khayr al-bayān (which has seen little use by researchers thus far) and basic information about its author. I then describe the material on Ṣāʾib in detail, including several important features of the manuscript itself. Finally, I review the implications of the text for Ṣāʾib’s biography, with particular regard to the origin of one of his nicknames, “Mustaʿidd Khān.” The source also has bearing on the study of his work, since eleven of his poems, quoted in the Khayr al-bayān, may now be dated to the earliest part of his career. This all comes at a time of growing academic and popular interest in Ṣāʾib, who is increasingly recognized as one of the preeminent ghazal poets of the classical tradition. To assist the reader in following the more detailoriented parts of this article, I append photographs of the relevant pages in Or. 3397.2

A self-propelled particle in an external potential: is there an effective temperature?

description: We study a stationary state of a single self-propelled, athermal particle in linear and quadratic external potentials. The self-propulsion is modeled as a fluctuating force evolving according to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, independently of the state of the particle. Without an external potential, in the long time limit, the self-propelled particle moving in a viscous medium performs diffusive motion, which allows one to identify an effective temperature. We show that in the presence of a linear external potential the stationary state distribution has an exponential form with the sedimentation length determined by the effective temperature of the free self-propelled particle. In the presence of a quadratic external potential the stationary state distribution has a Gaussian form. However, in general, this distribution is not determined by the effective temperature of the free self-propelled particle.

Of Islamic Grammatology: Ibn Turka’s Lettrist Metaphysics of Light*
Creators: name: Melvin-Koushki, Matthew
Publisher: name: Al-ʿUsur al-Wusta

description: As Derrida charged, Plato’s famous declaration of speech’s superiority to writing would seem to have resonated with inheritor cultures similarly transitioning from orality to literacy, and especially the Islamicate; despite the explosion of writerly culture from the 2nd/8th century onward, Arabic scholarship continued to evince a categorical, if increasingly rhetorical, mistrust of writing. In the 8th/14th century, however, as the age of encyclopedism dawned throughout the Islamicate heartlands, the superiority of writing to speech was formally and categorically asserted by Arabic and Persian encyclopedists, including most prominently Ibn al-Akfānī (d. 749/1348) of Mamluk Egypt and Shams al-Dīn Āmulī (d. after 787/1352) of Ilkhanid Iran. It is hardly coincidental in this connection that the same century also witnessed the burgeoning popularity among scholarly and ruling elites of lettrism (ʿilm al-ḥurūf), kabbalah’s coeval cognate—the occult science that posited the cosmos itself as a text to be read, even rewritten. Synthesizing these literary and occult-scientifc currents, in the early 9th/15th century a network of Muslim neopythagoreanizing lettrists—chief among them Ibn Turka of Isfahan (d. 835/1432)—developed the frst formal metaphysics of writing.

description: After 20 years of Triple Graph Grammars (TGGs) and numerous actively maintained implementations, there is now a need for challenging examples and success stories to show that TGGs can be used for real-world bidirectional model transformations. Our primary goal in recent years has been to increase the expressiveness of TGGs by providing a set of pragmatic features that allow a controlled fallback to programmed graph transformations and Java. Based on the Flowgraphs case study of the Transformation Tool Contest (TTC 2013), we present (i) attribute constraints used to express complex bidirectional attribute manipulation, (ii) binding expressions for specifying arbitrary context relationships, and (iii) post-processing methods as a black box extension for TGG rules. In each case, we discuss the enabled trade-off between guaranteed formal properties and expressiveness. Our solution, implemented with our metamodelling and model transformation tool eMoflon (www.emoflon.org), is available as a virtual machine hosted on Share.

Was Ibn Wāḍiḥ al-Yaʿqūbī a Shiʿite Historian? The State of the Question*

description: The works of the third/ninth-century historian and geographer Ibn al-Wāḍiḥ al-Yaʿqūbī have long served as an indispensable source in the modern study of Islamic historiography, but nagging questions about alYaʿqūbī’s purportedly Shiʿite identity have continued to bedevil modern attempts to interpret his works. This essay re-visits the question of al-Yaʿqūbī’s Shiʿite identity in of light of new data and a re-evaluation of the old, and it questions what evidence there exists for considering him a Shiʿite as well as what heuristic value, if any, labeling him as a Shiʿite holds for modern scholars who read his works.

description: We present archival high angular resolution ($\sim$ 2$''$) $^{12}$CO(3-2) line and continuum submillimeter observations of the young stellar object HL Tau made with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The $^{12}$CO(3-2) line observations reveal the presence of a compact and wide opening angle bipolar outflow with a northeast and southwest orientation (P.A. = 50$^\circ$), and that is associated with the optical and infrared jet emanating from HL Tau with a similar orientation. On the other hand, the 850 $μ$m continuum emission observations exhibit a strong and compact source in the position of HL Tau that has a spatial size of $\sim$ 200 $\times$ 70 AU with a P.A. $=$ 145$^\circ$, and a dust mass of around 0.1 M$_\odot$. These physical parameters are in agreement with values obtained recently from millimeter observations. This submillimeter source is therefore related with the disk surrounding HL Tau.

Arabic Fatḥ as ‘Conquest’ and its Origin in Islamic Tradition
Creators: name: Donner, Fred M.
Publisher: name: Al-ʿUsur al-Wusta
Year: 2016

description: The Arabic term fatḥ (pl. futūḥ) is often translated as “conquest,” but this meaning is not intrinsic to the root f-t-ḥ either in Arabic or in other Semitic languages. Rather, the word was applied to episodes in the expansion of the early Islamic state by later Muslim writers who described these events following a particular use of the word fatḥ in the Qur’ān, where it referred to an act of God’s grace that was favorable for the community. This might include instances of actual conquest, but could also be applied to other ways in which an area came into the state, such as by treaty agreement. The rigid translation as “conquest” is therefore potentially misleading.

description: What can be done to reduce misperceptions about COVID-19 vaccines? We present results from experiments conducted simultaneously on YouGov samples in 10 countries (N = 10 600), which reveal that factual corrections consistently reduce false beliefs about vaccines. With results from these 10 countries, we find that exposure to corrections increases belief accuracy by 0.16 on a 4-point scale, while exposure to misinformation decreases belief accuracy by 0.09 on the same scale. We are unable to find evidence that either misinformation or factual corrections affect intent-to-vaccinate or vaccine attitudes. Our findings on effect duration are less conclusive; when we recontacted participants two weeks later, we observed 39% of the initial accuracy increase, yet this result narrowly misses conventional thresholds of statistical significance (p = 0.06). Taken together, our results illustrate both the possibilities and limitations of factual corrections. Evidence from 10 highly diverse populations shows that exposure to factual information reduces belief in falsehoods about vaccines, but has minimal influence on subsequent behaviours and attitudes.

description: I enrolled in Professor Giles Constable’s seminar in twelfth-century European history in 1962, my frst year of graduate study at Harvard. He told us to select a cartulary, which he told us was a term for a collection of medieval documents. We were to write a paper based on what we found there. I selected the cartulary of the Guillem family, the lords of Montpellier in southern France. I realized, given my haphazard memory of the Latin I had taken in high school, that I could not expect to read most of the documents. But I noticed that each document ended with a series of names of witnesses, and, the more important the document, the longer the list. Moreover, the names often included the witness’ occupation and the name of his father. So I made the study of major witness families over a sequence of generations the core element of my paper.

description: We have succeeded in growing single crystals of the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCo(In1-xZnx)5 with x<=0.07. Measurements of specific heat, electrical resistivity, dc magnetization and ac susceptibility revealed that the superconducting (SC) transition temperature Tc decreases from 2.25 K (x=0) to 1.8 K (x=0.05) by doping Zn into CeCoIn5. Furthermore, these measurements indicate a development of a new ordered phase below T_o ~ 2.2 K for x=>0.05, characterized by the reduced magnetization and electrical resistivity in the ordered phase, and the enhancement of specific heat at T_o. This phase transition can be also recognized by the shoulder-like anomaly seen at H_o ~ 55 kOe in the field variations of the magnetization at low temperatures, which is clearly distinguished from the superconducting critical fields Hc2=49 kOe for x=0.05 and 42 kOe for x=0.07. We suggest from these results that the antiferromagnetic (AFM) order is generated by doping Zn, and the interplay between the SC and AFM orders is realized in CeCo(In1-xZnx)5.

Especially we consider excited states obtained by acting primary operators on a vacuum. We show that under its time evolution, entanglement entropy increases by a finite constant when the causality condition is satisfied. Moreover, in rational CFTs, we prove that this increased amount of (both Renyi and von-Neumann) entanglement entropy always coincides with the log of quantum dimension of the primary operator.

Spin liquid phase in the semiclassical theory of the Heisenberg model on an anisotropic triangular lattice with ring exchange

description: We investigate the effect of ring-exchange on the ground-state properties and magnetic excitations of the $S = 1/2$ Heisenberg model on the anisotropic triangular lattice with ring-exchange at $T = 0$ using linear spin-wave theory. Classically, we find stable Néel, spiral and collinear magnetically ordered phases. Upon including quantum fluctuations to the model, linear spin-wave theory shows that ring exchange induces a large quantum disordered region in the phase diagram, completely wiping out the classically stable collinear phase. Analysis of the spin-wave spectra for each of these three models demonstrates that the large spin-liquid phase observed in the full model is a direct manifestation of competing classical orders. To understand the origin of these competing phases we introduce models where either the four spin contributions from ring exchange, or the renormalization of the Heisenberg terms due to ring exchange are neglected. We find that these two terms favor rather different physics.

description: Analytic and passivity properties of reflection and transmission coefficients of thin-film multilayered stacks are investigated. Using a rigorous formalism based on the inverse Helmholtz operator, properties associated to causality principle and passivity are established when both temporal frequency and spatial wavevector are continued in the complex plane. This result extends the range of situations where the Kramers-Kronig relations can be used to deduce the phase from the intensity. In particular, it is rigorously shown that Kramers-Kronig relations for reflection and transmission coefficients remain valid at a fixed angle of incidence. Possibilities to exploit the new relationships are discussed.

Until now, the indispensable guide to Professor Bosworth’s works has been the bibliography that introduces the two-volume Festschrift published in his honor fifteen years ago: Ian Richard Netton (ed.), Studies in honour of Clifford Edmund Bosworth.

description: The BaBar Collaboration has an intensive program of studying hadronic cross sections at low-energy $e^+e^-$ collisions, accessible via initial-state radiation. Our measurements allow significant improvements in the precision of the predicted value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, that shed light on the current $\approx$ 3.5 sigma difference between the predicted and the experimental values. We have published results on a number of processes with two to six hadrons in the final state. We report here the results of recent studies with the final states that constitute the main contribution to the hadronic cross section below 3 GeV, as $e^+e^- \rightarrow π^+π^-$, $K^+K^-$, $K_S K_L$ and $e^+e^- \rightarrow 4$ hadrons.

description: Clifford Edmund Bosworth was a giant amongst historians of the Middle East and Central Asia, and only the likes of his direct and indirect mentors, Vladimir Minorsky (d. 1966) and V.V. Barthold (d. 1930) respectively, could parallel his staggering erudition and productive zeal in his writings on the eastern Islamic world and beyond it.1 Other colleagues have written detailed bibliographies of Edmund Bosworth’s astoundingly prolific work, and I will draw on these.

description: Basis Light-front Quantization (BLFQ) has recently been developed as a promising nonperturbative technique. Using BLFQ, we investigate the Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) in a nonperturbative framework for a dressed electron in QED. We evaluate light-front wave functions and carry out overlap calculations to obtain GPDs. We also perform perturbative calculations in the corresponding basis spaces to demonstrate that they compare reasonably with the BLFQ results.

description: This paper describes the GROOVE solution to the "Class Diagram Restructuring" case study of the Tool Transformation Contest 2013. We show that the visual rule formalism enables the required restructuring to be formulated in a very concise manner. Moreover, the GROOVE functionality for state space exploration allows checking confluence. Performance-wise, however, the solution does not scale well.

description: This book belongs to a subfield that has emerged over the past h a l f - c e n t u r y i n A r a b o p h o n e historical scholarship. We might call it “non-Muslim studies.” It is first cousin to that historiography which has focused on particular non-Muslim religious communities—usually Jews or Christians—in relation to some period of Islamic history (think of Louis Cheikho’s pioneering work on Christian poets, scholars, and state officials, or Muḥammad ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Ḥamad’s Dawr al-yahūd fī al-ḥaḍārah al-islāmiyyah [al-Raqqah, 2006]). But “non-Muslim studies” treats non-Muslims trans-communally, usually in their legal personality, as ahl al-dhimmah.

Disappearance of the Dirac cone in silicene due to the presence of an electric field

description: Using the two-dimensional ionic Hubbard model as a simple basis for describing the electronic structure of silicene in the presence of an electric field induced by the substrate, we use the coherent-potential approximation to calculate the zero-temperature phase diagram and associated spectral function at half filling. We find that any degree of symmetry-breaking induced by the electric field causes the silicene structure to lose its Dirac fermion characteristics, thus providing a simple mechanism for the disappearance of the Dirac cone.

description: Using a sample of nearby spiral galaxies hosting 185 supernovae (SNe) Ia, we perform a comparative analysis of the locations and light-curve (LC) decline rates (\(\Delta m_{15}\)) of normal and peculiar SNe Ia in the star formation deserts (SFDs) and beyond. By linking the LC decline rate and progenitor age, we show that the SFD phenomenon, where the star formation is suppressed by the bar evolution, gives a possibility to constrain the nature of SNe Ia. We demonstrate that the \(\Delta m_{15}\) of SN Ia and progenitor age can be related. We show, for the first time, that the SFDs contain mostly faster declining SNe Ia. For the galaxies without SFDs, the region within the bar radius, and outer disc contain mostly slower declining SNe Ia.

Seta Dadoyan, The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World: Paradigms of Interaction, Seventh to Fourteenth Centuries.
Creators: name: Vacca, Alison M.
Publisher: name: Al-ʿUsur al-Wusta
Year: 2015

description: Seta Dadoyan, whose work on the Fāṭimids stands as a staple in medieval Armenian history, recently published her trilogy The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World. These ambitious books center on several significant points about the nature of Armenian society and the place of Armenian Christians in the broader Islamic world. Aimed at both Islamicists and Armenologists and navigating both Arabic and Armenian sources, they provide an overview of Armenian-Muslim relations from the seventh to the fourteenth centuries. These books join recent studies in dismantling the assumption that there was a single and united medieval Armenian society. Significantly, they argue that we cannot see Armenian experiences as separate from broader Near Eastern civilization.

description: After exploring different theories of teaching and learning ESL/EFL writing, along withsuccessful models of writing courses and instructional methods, this study investigates the internalcomplexity of ESL/EFL writing at the tertiary level, as well as the contributing factors in students’writing performance. The characteristics of different types of language learners are identified inconjunction with the plasticity and lateralization of the bilingual brain and the critical period hypothesis.The study also delves into certain biases and heuristics while it analyzes Kahneman’s System 1 and 2of thinking and various personality theories in order to determine students’ innate abilities to excel inESL/EFL writing tasks. Furthermore, the paper elucidates the importance of psychologicalequivalence in the writing process with the help of Pym’s translation theories, and explains students’interconnectedness through Berne’s transactional analysis and the ego states of each personality. Byintegrating neuropsychological perspectives with established pedagogical approaches, such as thescaffolding, product, process, genre and grammar-translation techniques, the article offers a holisticframework for educators and policymakers to enhance ESL/EFL writing instruction, and ultimatelyproposes future research directions for a better understanding of ESL/EFL students’ needs.

description: This is evidently an edition of Maḥjūbī’s doctoral dissertation from around 2003, under the direction of Muḥammad al-Ṣiqillī al-Ḥusaynī, presumably in Fez. It is a highly systematic survey of hadith terminology in Ibn Abī Ḥātim’s huge biographical dictionary, al-Jarḥ wa-altaʿdīl. About half of his entries include an evaluation of the person’s hadith transmission, especially (in descending order of frequency) from his father, Abū Ḥātim (d. 277/890), Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn (d. 233/848), Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal (d. 241/855), and Abū Zurʿah al-Rāzī (d. 264/878). Maḥjūbī takes one term after another and gives first its dictionary (non-technical) definition, then its technical meaning, its appearance in prophetic hadith, if any, then the way it is used in al-Jarḥ wa-al-taʿdīl.

Gate Controlled Molecular Switch Based on Picene/F4TCNQ Charge-Transfer Material

description: We show that the recently synthesized charge-transfer material picene/F4TCNQ can be used as a gate-voltage controlled molecular switch. The picene/F4TCNQ system is compared with the extensive characterized anthraquinone-based molecular system, which is known to exhibit large switching ratios due to quantum interference effects. In case of picene/F4TCNQ we find switching ratios larger by one order of magnitude. Further, our calculations reveal that the picene/F4TCNQ system resembles remarkable well the I-V characteristics of a classical diode. The reverse-bias current of this molecular diode can be increased two orders of magnitude by an external gate voltage. Based on density-functional theory calculations we show that the hybrid states formed by the picene/F4TCNQ system are playing the key role to determine the transport properties. We further conclude that the tuning of quantum transport properties through hybrid states is a general concept which opens a new route towards functional materials for molecular electronics.
