Religion, Technology, And Modernization In Islamic Developing Countries: A Case Study Of Pakistan, Nizamuddin Syed Dec 1981

Religion, Technology, And Modernization In Islamic Developing Countries: A Case Study Of Pakistan, Nizamuddin Syed

Graduate Research Papers

Pakistan is one of the Islamic developing countries, and since its independence in 1947 the leaders and administrators of this country have adopted different constitutions to pave the way for modernization. President Ayub Khan of Pakistan not only tried to change the traditional thinking of his countrymen, but also toured the Middle Eastern Islamic countries to urge a reformist revival in Islam (Abbott, 1968).

Religion, technologicalization, and modernization are elements of a controversial issue which has been brought un and discussed among the religious functionaries and polity of Pakistan. The issue is, what should be the role of Islam in …

Determination Of The Total Grain Size Distribution In A Vulcanian Eruption Column, And Its Implications To Stratospheric Aerosol Perturbation, P. J. Murrow, William I. Rose, S. Self Nov 1980

Determination Of The Total Grain Size Distribution In A Vulcanian Eruption Column, And Its Implications To Stratospheric Aerosol Perturbation, P. J. Murrow, William I. Rose, S. Self

Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences Publications

Grain size analysis of samples representing all sampleable portions of the airfall deposit produced by the Fuego volcano in Guatemala on 14 October 1974 form the basis for estimating the total grain size distribution of tephra from this eruption. The region enclosed by each isopach has a particular average grain size distribution which can be weighted proportionally to its percentage volume. The grain size of pyroclastic avalanche deposits produced during the eruption are also included. The total grain size distribution calculated as a sum of weighted distributions has a median grain size of 0.8∅ (0.6mm) and a sorting coefficient (σ∅) …

“Statistical Division” A Section From A History Of The Board Of Engineers For Rivers And Harbors, Robert Bolin , Depositor

United States Department of Defense Military Intelligence

The “Foreign Ports Branch” of the Statistical Division of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors (BERH) was one of a number of small technical intelligence organizations within the Army Corps of Engineeers. The BERH was an agency within the Corps of Engineers performing civil functions concerning water resources functions. Its history and functions are described ably in this history.

The Foreign Ports Branch was established in August 1942 to prepare reports on foreign ports for use by the US Armed Forces. The BEHR was given this function because its personnel had long experience in preparing similar reports on …

Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences Publications

During February 1978 a group of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, several colleges and universities, the U.S. Geological Survey, and NASA used a specially equipped Beech Queen Air aircraft to make 11 sampling flights in Guatemala through the eruption clouds from the volcanoes Pacaya, Fuego, and Santiguito. Measurements were made of SO42−, SO2, HCl, HF, and 11 cations that were in water-soluble form, on samples collected by a specially designed filter pack. Particle size distributions were obtained with a piezoelectric cascade impactor, and the particles were identified by energy dispersive X ray …

Air Pressures Over Reservoir, Canal, And Water Catchment Surfaces Exposed To Wind, Allen Ray Dedrick May 1973

Air Pressures Over Reservoir, Canal, And Water Catchment Surfaces Exposed To Wind, Allen Ray Dedrick

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Surface air pressure differentials that occur over reservoirs, canals, and water-catchment aprons in high-wind conditions were determined by the use of models in a wind tunnel. Such information was needed concerning the magnitude and location of destructive wind forces on water barriers constructed of exposed flexible membrane liners. Rigid models, without a membrane, were used to measure airpressure differentials.

Air-pressure differentials were dependent on geometric configuration and were independent of viccous forces above the critical Reynolds number which was determined experimentally. The geometric factors studied with respect to reservoirs and canals included approach slope, approach slope length, leeward slope, and …

The 1966 Eruption Of Izalco Volcano, El Salvador, William I. Rose, Richard E. Stoiber

Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences Publications

During October–November 1966 900,000 m3 of olivine basalt flowed from the flank of Izalco volcano, El Salvador. The total heat energy was approximately 1015 calories. No measurable changes in gravity occurred at stations on the active cone between August 1964 and August 1967. In the summit crater fumaroles have surface temperatures as high as 540°C. The cooling rate of these fumaroles was 18°C/yr before the eruption and 45°C/yr after. Yearly temperature cycles due to wet and dry seasons are superimposed on the general cooling trend. The rate of gas emission at four fumaroles in November 1967 was 86 …
