The Order And Significance Of The Sealed Tribes Of Revelation 7:4-8, Michael W. Troxell

Master's Theses

Problem. John’s list of twelve tribes of Israel in Rev 7, representing those who are sealed in the last days, has been the source of much debate through the years. This present study was to determine if there is any theological significance to the composition of the names in John’s list. Of particular interest to this study is the meaning of the inclusion of Levi and Manasseh and the exclusion of Dan and Ephraim. -- Methodology. Intertextual comparisons between John’s list and the many Old Testament lists of Israelite tribes were used to identify any theological significance to the composition …

Effects Of Silar Cycle On The Electrical Characteristics Of Cd/Cdse/N-Si/Au-Sb Structure, Betül Güzeldi̇r, Mustafa Sağlam, Aytünç Ateş

Turkish Journal of Physics

Cd/CdSe/n-Si/Au-Sb structures have been fabricated by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method under various SILAR cycles. The characteristics parameters of these structures such as barrier height, ideality factor, series resistance are calculated from the current-voltage (I-V) measurements and the barrier height, carrier concentration are calculated from reverse bias capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements at 300 kHz frequency and room temperature. Furthermore, the density distribution and rectifying ratio of these structure have been calculated from the I-V measurements as a function of SILAR cycle. It has been seen that the changes of characteristic parameters such as barrier height, ideality factor and …

Estimating Global Solar Radiation From Common Meteorological Data In Aranjuez, Spain, Javier Almorox

Turkish Journal of Physics

This study aimed to calibrate existing models and develop a new model for estimating global solar radiation data using commonly and available measured meteorological records such as precipitation or temperature. Fifteen empirical global radiation models based on meteorological variables were generated and validated using daily data in 2003-2008 at the Aranjuez station (Community of Madrid, Spain). Validation criteria included coefficient of determination, root mean square error, mean bias error, mean absolute bias error, mean percentage error, and mean absolute percentage error. The best result was derived from the model proposed, which uses extraterrestrial solar radiation, saturation vapor pressures, transformed rainfall …

Resonance Phenomena And Time Asymmetric Quantum Mechanics, Arno Rudolf Bohm, Fati̇h Erman, Haydar Uncu

Turkish Journal of Physics

This article is a review of time asymmetric quantum theory and its consequences applied to the resonance and decay phenomena. We first give some phenomenological results about resonances and decaying states to support the popular idea that resonances characterized by a width \Gamma and decaying states characterized by a lifetime \tau are different appearances of the same physical entity. Based on Weisskopf-Wigner (WW) methods, one obtains approximately \frac{\hbar}{\tau}\approx \Gamma. However, using standard axioms of quantum physics it is not possible to establish a rigorous theory to which the various WW methods can be considered as approximations. In standard quantum theory, …

Application Of Active-Osl Approximation To Some Experimental Optical Stimulated Luminescence Decay, Ayşe Güneş Tanir, Mustafa Hi̇cabi̇ Bölükdemi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work, Active-OSL Approximation (AOSLA) suggested by our previous study was applied to experimental optical stimulated luminescence decay from some sediment samples. The explanation of the AOSLA was based on the radioactive decay law of successive disintegration. It allows obtaining the peak forms of luminescence mechanism. This work shows that detrapping constants that have great importance in dating and dosimeters studies can be rapidly and clearly found using the AOSLA. Also, it can be concluded that the OSL is a process similar to the radioactive decay law of successive disintegration.

The Role Of Co-Infection In The Spread Of Hiv In Sub-Saharan Africa, Diego Fernando Cuadros

Theses and Dissertations--Biology

The cause of the high HIV prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa is incompletely understood, with heterosexual penile-vaginal transmission proposed as the main mechanism. Heterosexual HIV transmission has a very low probability; further, a single estimation of heterosexual probability of HIV transmission fails to reproduce the variation associated with important biological cofactors. In particular, studies of HIV incidence suggest that co-infection with other infectious diseases influence the HIV transmission, and therefore might substantially vary the pattern of the spread of the infection. To assess the effect of co-infection on the spread of HIV, I developed and analyzed several mathematical and statistical models …

Culture, Creativity, & Copyright, David A. Simon

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

Recent literature in copyright law has attacked the traditional theory that economic incentives motivate people to create. Although the onslaught of criticism has come from different directions, it all shares a similar goal. to move copyright law in a direction that reflects actual creative processes and motivations. This Article adds to and diverts from these accounts, arguing that creativity may be a product of memes: units of culture, analogous to genes, that replicate by human imitation.

A memetic theory of creativity focuses on memes as the reference point for thinking about creativity. Under this view, the creator is a brain …

Religious Norms And Family Law: Is It Legal Or Normative Pluralism?, Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im

Emory International Law Review

The premise of this introductory Essay is that it is not possible to have a religiously valid (or customary) outcome from any coercive adjudication by the courts of the state. In other words, whatever the state and its courts and other institutions do is inherently secular, and cannot be religious. If that is the case, then believers who are keen to live by their religious norms should avoid state enforcement, rather than seek it. To make this argument, Part I of this Essay outlines the premise and core idea of an approach to the mediation of such competing demands. Part …

Are Lawyers Unsung Disaster Heroes?: The Importance Of Well-Prepared Domestic Legal And Regulatory Frameworks For Effective Disaster Response, Elyse Mosquini

Emory International Law Review

The aftermath of a natural disaster unquestionably calls for action amid chaos. No matter its character'a sudden-onset earthquake, seasonal hurricane, or flooding'a natural disaster's immediate-term impact is similar: families and communities confronting loss of life and property and struggling to meet their basic needs. The affected population may be displaced from their homes, supply chains of essential items such as food and fuel may be cut off, and social services may be interrupted. When these basic needs outstretch local capacities, the complexity of the response operation mounts. This Article highlights the importance of well-prepared domestic regulatory frameworks for effective disaster …

Dueling Nationalities: Dual Citizenship, Dominant And Effective Nationality, And The Case Of Anwar Al-Aulaqi, Abraham U. Kannof

Emory International Law Review

This Comment argues that when hearing a case involving a suspected terrorist who holds dual citizenship, a domestic court should first determine, as a threshold matter, the dominant and effective nationality of the accused. This determination is significant because a dominant foreign national can essentially be treated as a non-citizen, for the purposes of adjudication, and may not be entitled to the full rights and protections of domestic citizenship.
