An examination of the Nihayat Al-Talab and the determination of its place and value in the history of Islamic chemistry

In 1923 there was published the Arabic text of K. al-Muktasab an alchemical work of the thirteenth century written by al-'Iraqi, with a translation and introduction by Dr. E. J. Holmyard. Jildaki, an alchemist of the fourteenth. century, wrote his great work, Nihayat al-Talab as a voluminous commentary on K. al-Muktasab. The present thesis is an attempt to examine the contents of the Nihayat and determine its place and value in the history of Islamic chemistry. The importance of the Nihayat lies in the main in its lengthy quotations from earlier authors whose works are not now extant. It is valuable also because it gives a clear account of the more important alchemical theories and tenets prevalent among the Muslim writers of the Middle Ages. The copy of the Nihayat which I have used consists of three quarto volumes amounting altogether to 1067 pages. The account given of each volume in the present thesis is not in proportion to its size, which is almost the same for all the three volumes; an attempt has been made to exclude, as far as possible, any unnecessary repetitions, and thus the account given of the third volume is only half the size of that of the first. In the course of the Introduction a summary has been given of the theoretical and philosophical views of Jildaki; and an extensive Index has been prepared to facilitate detailed reference to the very large number of subjects mentioned in the thesis

A study of the comprehension of beef cattle terms and concepts by Tennessee cow-calf producers

The purpose of this study was to collect descriptive data which would indicate the knowledge levels of Tennessee cow-calf producers about terms and concepts related to beef cattle production. The study was designed also to determine what relationship certain personal and experience factors had to knowledge levels. Thirty-eight terms were selected from two University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service publications, and a multiple choice test was constructed for the terms. Accompanying questions covered personal and experience factors. Tennessee beef cattle producers who were enrolled in the Tennessee Beef Cattle Improvement Program were tested. Survey forms were completed by mail and by personal interview, and 78 usable forms were returned. There were significant relationships between test scores and years of formal education, whether the farmer had received any college of agriculture training, and the frequency with which farmers read Extension news articles. The mean percentage of correct answers for all questions was 86.6, indicating a high level of understanding. Correct answers ranged from a low of 42.3 per-cent for a term concerning cattle feeding to a high of 100 per cent for three terms concerning cattle breeding and physiology

Nuclearity and Grothendieck-Lidskii formula for quaternionic operators

We introduce an appropriate notion of trace in the setting of quaternionic linear operators, arising from the well-known companion matrices. We then use this notion to define the quaternionic Fredholm determinant of trace-class operators in Hilbert spaces, and show that an analog of the classical Grothendieck-Lidskii formula, relating the trace of an operator with its eigenvalues, holds. We then extend these results to the so-called $\frac{2}{3}$-nuclear (Fredholm) operators in the context of quaternionic locally convex spaces. While doing so, we develop some results in the theory of topological tensor products of noncommutative modules, and show that the trace defined ad hoc in terms of companion matrices, arises naturally as part of a canonical trace

Estado de bienestar y competitividad : la experiencia europea

Bibliografía: p. 637-643La obra se estructura en tres sesiones que abordan los principales retos a los que se enfrenta el modelo del bienestar en sus diferentes campos: educación, sistema de pensiones e innovación. En la primera sesión #Los retos del Estado de Bienestar, la infancia y la educación#, se contará con la presencia de Howard Glennerster que hablará de la financiación de los Estados de Bienestar en el siglo XXI, Jean Claude Barbier, que tratará la reforma del sistema de protección francés y Ruud A.de Mooij, que abordará la reforma del Estado de Bienestar holandés, entre otros. En la segunda sesión, Estrategias de sostenibilidad del sistema de pensiones, se debatirá en profundidad tanto la reforma del sistema de pensiones en Alemania como el diseño del sistema español y los posibles cambios hacia nuevos modelos contributivos, que presentará Edward Palmer. En la tercera sesión se tratarán los temas de la modernización del Estado de Bienestar en España (Álvaro Espina, coordinador de la Conferencia), el sistema sanitario (Ana Rico) y la Europa Social y la malla de seguridad (Luis Moreno) La Conferencia Internacional se plantea como un espacio para la reflexión y el intercambio de ideas donde la discusión de las últimas líneas de investigación y pensamiento en torno al Estado de Bienestar y las políticas públicas permitan relacionarlas con las estrategias de desarrollo en América Latina. En un momento crucial, donde se cuestiona la deriva de los Estados de Bienestar que se enfrentan a reformas siguiendo modelos muy diversos, y donde las diferentes perspectivas entre derechos y oportunidades genera un intenso debate, este encuentro internacional pretende ofrecer un marco para la discusión y un espacio para el debate.Textos en español o inglé
