Ibn Malik’S Approach To Grammatical Evidence A Reading Of The Arguments Of Supporters And Opponents, Asst. Prof. Mousa Bin Nasser Al-Mousa

UB Journal for Humanities

his study examines, on one hand, the evidence advanced by those who accuse Ibn Mālik of fabricating grammatical citations (shawāhid), and, on the other, the evidence and rejoinders offered by those who hold him innocent of such fabrication. The researcher adopts an inductive method by tracing the arguments of both the affirmers and the deniers, analyzing them, and then evaluating them in an effort to reach a preponderant judgment on the question. The findings indicate the strength and cogency of the two principal proofs: solitary transmission (tafarrud) and omission of attribution (ighfāl al-nisba), as well as the inability of the …

The study adopts an inductive method first, followed by deductive and analytical approaches. Among its key findings is that Imam …

Atmospheric Waves Experiment (Awe) Thermal Control System: Review Of On-Orbit Performance, Matthew I. Ralphs, Mike Holt

Space Dynamics Laboratory Publications

This paper reviews the Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) detector thermal control system’s (TCS) performance for over two years of operation on the Internation Space Station (ISS). The TCS employs active thermal control for the InGaAs detectors with thermoelectric coolers (TEC). Each of the four detectors are controlled by a dedicated TEC at a nominal setpoint of -30°C, with heat transported away via low-mass, high-conductance pyrolytic graphite sheet (PGS) thermal straps into a nickel-plated copper conductor bar. A bi-directional radiator with Silver Teflon ensures an unobstructed view that can radiate the heat away to space. Titanium isolators decouple the detectors from …

A Suite Of Thermal Switches For Surviving Extreme Thermal Environments In Space, Matthew I. Ralphs, Matt Jensen, Alexis Eames, Matt Sinfield

Space Dynamics Laboratory Publications

Thermal switches are a key enabling technology for spacecraft operating in extreme thermal environments. Whether surviving the lunar night, managing intermittent high-power loads from deep space communication systems, or dealing with other extreme thermal environments, high-performance thermal switches allow critical missions to operate beyond conventional thermal design limits. This paper presents the development, testing, and performance of a suite of passive thermal switches designed for both spacecraft- and subsystem-level thermal control. The suite includes: (1) traditional in-line switch placed between sensitive components and radiators; (2) compact designs suitable for integration into standard bolted joint interfaces to modulate the conductance between …

Hypersonic Non-Equilibrium Cfd And Dsmc Model Comparisons With The Varda Reentry Capsule, Jack D. Crespo, Paolo Valentini, Ashwin P. Rao, Zach S. Davis

Space Dynamics Laboratory Publications

Nonequilibrium aerothermodynamic modeling of the Varda hypersonic testbed capsule is conducted with direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers. Flowfield properties at the 78 km reentry trajectory point are extracted to compute line of sight spectral radiance using two radiative emission codes, namely HARA and NEQAIR. Computed spectra are compared to spectral radiance measured by an in situ optical emission spectroscopy payload flown on Varda’s W-2 capsule in 2025. Model comparisons to the experimental data reveal discrepancies between the HARA and NEQAIR radiative emission predictions in both overall magnitude and qualitative behavior. NEQAIR was found to …

Oer Textbook Review For Human Inheritance - Chromosomes, Genes, And Traits - An Introduction To Genetics, Maria Lazebnik

Open Educational Resources Publications

This review evaluates the adoption and classroom integration of the open educational resource Chromosomes, Genes, and Traits: An Introduction to Genetics for NAS322: Human Inheritance. The instructor found the OER to be comprehensive, accurate, and well aligned with core human genetics concepts, though some content areas—particularly mutations and certain visual diagrams—required supplementation or revision. The flexibility of the OER allowed for significant reorganization, modular use, and removal of non-human examples to better suit course objectives. Integration into Brightspace improved accessibility, reduced student confusion around textbook requirements, and enhanced engagement through direct linking and built-in quizzes. Compared to the previously used …

Regional Anesthesia Utilizing Liposomal Bupivacaine, With Or Without Dexamethasone, Provides Excellent Pain Control And Minimizes Opioid Consumption Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, William L. Johns, Armen Voskeridjian, Benjamin Miltenberg, Rahul Muchintala, Christopher C. Dodson, Steven B. Cohen, John Salvo, Matthew Sherman, Michael G. Ciccotti, Sommer Hammoud

Rothman Institute Papers

BACKGROUND: Perioperative nerve blocks are commonly used for regional analgesia with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) is a long-acting anesthetic agent providing up to 72 hours of nerve blockade. It is theorized that the addition of dexamethasone to LB (LB+dex) may prolong the analgesic duration.

PURPOSE: To characterize pain control and opioid consumption with adductor canal block (ACB), interspace between the popliteal artery and capsule of the posterior knee (iPACK), and suprasartorial infiltration (SSI) regional anesthetic techniques utilizing LB after ACLR and to compare LB versus LB+dex.

STUDY DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. …

What’S My Name? Experiences Of Individuals With Traditional Hawaiian Names, Natalya N. Spotkaeff

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

There is no systematic process of orienting non-Hawaiian educators to Hawaiian culture, as evidenced by name mispronunciation. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the experiences of individuals with traditional Hawaiian first names in a classroom environment. Critical race theory (CRT), especially the concept of microaggressions, was used as the framework for the study. Two research questions guided the study: What are the adult lived experiences with traditional Hawaiian first names encountered in academic settings during childhood? How do adults with traditional Hawaiian first names describe their experiences of race in the classroom? Semistructured interviews were conducted with …

Faculty Research 2026

Comprehensively characterizing genotype-phenotype correlations (GPCs) in Mendelian disease would create new opportunities for improving clinical management and understanding disease biology. However, heterogeneous approaches to data sharing, reuse, and analysis have hindered progress in the field. We developed Genotype-Phenotype Statistical Evaluation of Associations (GPSEA), a software package that leverages the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) Phenopacket Schema to represent case-level clinical and genetic data about individuals. GPSEA applies an independent filtering strategy to boost statistical power to detect categorical GPCs represented by Human Phenotype Ontology terms. GPSEA additionally enables visualization and analysis of continuous phenotypes, clinical severity scores, and …
