Beirut And Its Vicinity At The End Of The Nineteenth Century And The Beginning Of The Twentieth Century بيروت وجوارها في نهاية القرن التاسع عشر وبداية القرن العشرين, Mustafa Ozturk, Ghina Mrad

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

ABSTRACT: This research presents how to build the Vilayet of Beirut, which at the beginning of the Ottoman period was a province affiliated with the Levant, but later became an independent state in 1888, due to its important strategic location and its port, which was considered the only port of Syria. Until it attracted the attention of Western countries, which found in it an important center and location for expansion and spread in the region. So it began to expand its activities by opening many missionary schools and a number of literary, artistic and political societies that promoted Western culture …

Validation Of The Factor Structure Of The Parent-Adolescent Relationship Scale In The Indian Context, Shweta Singh, Ajai Pratap Singh

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Parent-Adolescent Relationship (PAR) gets transformed during adolescence, and there is a significant relationship between the adolescent's adjustment and quality of this relationship. A loving and caring relationship full of acceptance with parents offers a health-oriented atmosphere for the growth of the child's abilities in multiple ways. The research findings indicated that the quality of Parent-Adolescent Relationship (PAR) associates with a broader range of positive outcomes, including emotional and mental Well-being, adjustment with the environment, and social competence. The present study was designed to adopt a Parent-Adolescent Scale, which examines the parent-adolescent relation among adolescents of India. In the present study, …

The Ottoman Constitutional Experience Under Sultan Abdel Hamid Ii (1876-1909)التجربة الدستورية العثمانية في عهد السلطان عبد الحميد الثاني 1876-1909, Hassan Hallak

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

ABSTRACT: The research discusses “the Ottoman constitutional experience under the rule of Sultan Abdul Hamid II 1876-1909”. The “Mabouthan Council” or the parliament and the Senate were established under the said rule. The Ottoman Constitution was issued in 1876, to be the first constitution recorded in the Ottoman State. Thus, Sultan Abdul Hamid II was the first Ottoman sultan who modernized the Ottoman State, its organizations and mandate from traditional organizations and legislations, thus opening up to western organizations while maintaining the Islamic Sharia.

It is worth mentioning that the opposition forces of soldiers and civilians, Turkish and other nationalities, …

“Twixt Devil And Deep Sea”:William Empson As Poet-Critic, Essam Fattouh

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

This paper attempts to offer a fresh examination of the relationship between Empson’s early career as a poet and his later erudite, largely influential, critical output. The theme of waste, which dominates his Collected Poems, partly accounts for his decision to abandon poetry, and invest his interest in complexity and ambiguity in a modernist/postmodernist procedure, way ahead of contemporary literary theory at the time. The theme of waste is further highlighted through readings of crucial key poems, as several critics of his time, such as Leavis and Alvarez, accurately signaled. The Empson canon is, thus, enriched, inviting the application of …

Open-Field Scale-Model Experiments Of Fire Whirls Over L-Shaped Line Fires, Yuto Iga, Kazunori Kuwana, Kozo Sekimoto, Yuji Nakamura

Progress in Scale Modeling, an International Journal

This paper presents the results of open-field scale-model experiments of fire-whirl formation over line fires. L-shaped line fires were burned in crosswinds, and the processes of fire-whirl formation were observed. The flame height was measured using an image-processing technique, while two-dimensional velocity components were measured at two different locations using ultrasonic anemometers. Two tests were selected for comparison: test A, in which intense fire whirls repeatedly formed, and test B, in which no whirls were observed. In test A, the wind flow was bent by the fire plume, creating swirling flows near the burning area, thereby forming fire whirls. On …

Effect Of Reduced Plume Entrainment On The Burning Rate Of Porous Fuel Beds, Sara Mcallister

Progress in Scale Modeling, an International Journal

Large outdoor fires often exhibit unexpected fire behavior, particularly compared with much smaller fires. Understanding the difference between large- and small-scale fires is of importance for both fire behavior predictions and safety. Large fires are often characterized by very tall plumes that can extend to the stratosphere. Particularly as the actively burning area increases, plumes in large-scale fires likely entrain relatively little and may act in a similar fashion to a chimney. To explore the possible changes in burning rate due to the chimney effect, experiments were conducted with wood cribs burned with a chimney of variable height. The burning …

Extinguishment Of Diffusion Flames Formed Over A Porous Plate Burner Using Rubber Balloons Filled With Inert Gases, Hiroyuki Torikai, Shinya Kudo

Progress in Scale Modeling, an International Journal

We have proposed an inert gas, rubber-balloon extinguishing method which might increase the effectiveness of extinguishing flames and decreasing the amounts of agents needed for fire suppression. Hence, extinguishing experiments have been performed to further clarify possible extinguishing characteristics, mechanisms and scaling effects of this method. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon and helium gases were used as the extinguishing agents. Methane-air and propane-air diffusion flames were formed on two different diameter, round porous plate burner and used as the targets for extinguishment. The extinguishing probabilities were measured, and the extinguishing processes were observed with a high-speed camera. As a result, an …

Quasi-Static Nonlinear Seismic Assessment Of A Fourth Century A.D. Roman Aqueduct In Istanbul, Turkey, Semih Gonen, Ece Erdogmus, Engin Karaesmen, Erhan Karaesmen

Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction: Faculty Publications

The majority of architectural heritage consists of load-bearing masonry components made up of stone units and relatively weak mortar joints, yielding potential weak planes for masonry structures where tension and shear failures are expected to occur. Advanced nonlinear analyses are required to simulate these phenomena and predict the corresponding nonlinear structural behavior of historic masonry constructions. In this context, this paper presents a model of a stone masonry Roman aqueduct (the Valens Aqueduct), constructed in the fourth century A.D. in Istanbul, Turkey, to explore the seismic capacity and behavior using the discrete element method (DEM). The employed modeling approach comprises …

Performance Of Egyptian Cotton Fibres During Combing Process., Fawkia El-Habiby, Rizk Abdullah El-Bealy

Mansoura Engineering Journal

The aim of the present work is to study the influence of combing ratio on Egyptian cotton fibres trying to find the most suitable combing ratio for these fibres. Comber laps were prepared from G70 and G75 cotton fibres and processed on comber at different combing ratios. The actual combing ratio was determined. It was 11, 11.8. 123, 4, 5, 6.8 and 9.6% for G70 cotton fibre and 11.9 13.8 15.8, 18, and 19.9% for G75 cotton fibre. Fibre length parameters were measured for comber laps, comber sliver and comber noil. Area under fibre length distribution curve was measured for …

This document is the manuscript version before graphic design and copyediting. Follow this link to see the final version.

The situation that inspired and drove these aesthetic guidelines for campus master planning were unique to the history Bethel University and Seminary. By the early 1960s, Bethel was outgrowing its site on Snelling Avenue in St. Paul. The opportunity to purchase 160 acres in Arden Hills arose and the leap of faith was taken to buy this land and relocate. But it was not that simple. More was involved than mere practical problems of too-little space solved by an abundance …
