The Eruption of Rumi’s Poetry

This article is a short description of Molana Jalal al-Din Mohammad Balkhi’s thoughts, a famous Iranian mystic and poet, and an attempt to present his ancient ideas, but with a new approach whom he desired to represent from the new window towards the poetry of life, the window which represents an overview to make beautiful waves of mysticism and literature. The article also tries to save the shipwrecks of turbulent waves of life by the perspective of the raging sea of Rumi’s eloquent word

Effects of Death in the Poetry of Rumi and Whitman

This paper is a minor part of my PhD dissertation “Elements of Sufism in the Poetry of Rumi and Whitman: A Comparative Study” in which the attempt has been made to find out the common elements of Sufism in the poetry of the two prominent Iranian and American poets (Molana Jalal al-Din Mohammad Balkhi known as Rumi and Walt Whitman, romantic poet), which one of them is the concept of death. Death is one of the world phenomena, which appears to have attracted poets and great writers’ thought in Iran and world literatur

Rumi's mystical ontology in his poetry

Rumi's nostalgia has always attracted the soul of the enchanted and wise human in the valley of mysticism. This nostalgia is crystallized from centuries of human thought, which has been developed by human conflict for self-knowledge. The total extract in Rumi’s immortal works, especially in his two famous works, the Mathnavi Manavi and the Divan Shams, is love, which builds the main pillar of Rumi’s ontology. Hence, the school of Rumi is called “the school of love” and he has been called the “prophet of Love.

The manifestation of sufi poetry in persian literature

The study of the emergence of the Sufi poetry in Persian literature has been of interest to all Persian historians. Sufism is a special School of thought which was formally introduced from the second century AD. The first thing that was important among them was the denial of the world and then, love for God was the ultimate goal of their deeds. Therefore, their teachings are divided into two categories: educational literature and romantic literature. Subsequently, the great heritage left behind which was nourished from this School of thought. Therefore, in this essay, the manifestation of the Sufi poetry in Persian literature will be investigated, without paying attention to the romantic poems written by non-mystical poets who mean human love for mankind, which have been whispered by the mystics in a certain way. Meanwhile, the attempt will be made to mention the masters of Persian Sufi poetr

Graphene encapsulating process: A road map for manufacturing aluminium matrix composites with superior mechanical properties

Manufacturing aluminium matrix composites with a uniform distribution of the nanoparticles using liquid fabrication methods is a rigorous task, attributed to the high propensity of these nanoparticles to agglomerate. novel method was proposed in this study for the first time to diminish the agglomeration propensity of SiC nanoparticles using graphene encapsulation process (Chapters 3 and 4). This method was invented based upon two different processing routes, encompassing ball milling and solvo-thermal assisted methods (Chapter 5) to wrap graphene sheets around SiC nanoparticles. As-received and graphene encapsulated SiC nanoparticles were then incorporated into A357 aluminium alloy using semi-solid stir-casting method under high purity (99.999%) argon gas. To delineate the mechanism by which graphene encapsulating method diminishes the agglomeration of SiC nanoparticles during the liquid processing, a novel theoretical approach based on the van der Waals-Casimir interaction free energy (Chapter 6) was implemented to show the unprecedented capacity of graphene sheets in manipulating the Hamaker constant of SiC nanoparticles. This manipulated Hamaker constant, in turn, stimulates deagglomeration and engulfment of these particles within solidifying matrix..

Shiraz Chemical Industries: Strategies for Domestic and International Growth

The intent of this study is to propose strategies that would help Shiraz Chemical Industries (SCI) to expand its domestic and international market share for the Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) and Melamine-Formaldehyde (MF) resins that the company manufactures. Since production launch in 2008, the company’s market share has been growing slowly. The slow growth rate has triggered the need for revisiting the operational state of the company and proposing new growth strategies. The paper begins by providing an overview of SCI, a summary of the company’s products and markets, and a description of the problem that is to be investigated. Next, the results of the internal and external analyses are presented. Based on the findings gathered through the internal and external analyses, this study establishes the industry’s Key Success Factors (KSFs) and, subsequently, evaluates strategic options that would help SCI achieve its long-term objective of growing market share

The influence of Rumi’s thought on Whitman’s poetry

The word Sufi originates from a Persian word meaning wisdom and wisdom is the ultimate power. The following survey tries to explore this concept in the works of Rumi and its impact on the western writers and poets particularly Whitman. It tries to show how Whitman inspired from Rumi and came to be the messenger of Sufism in his poems. These poems reveal the depth of Sufi spirituality, the inner states of mystical love, and the Unity of Being through symbolic expressions. They also express aspects of Sufism and of traveling the Sufi path inaccessible in prose writing

Thematic Affinities of "Khosrow and Shirin" and "Romeo and Juliet"

A romantic work can rarely be found, which would be equal to the story of Nizami’s "Khosro and Shirin". Perhaps the only work which can be compared to this literary masterpiece is the tragic romantic story of Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet", unique poet and playwright of English literature who is full of literary delicacies. The present article attempts to investigate the content and method of processing characters in both stories and reveal their similarities to make a new light to the neglected aspects of the two famous and precious work

Impact of External Walls Insulation Location and Distribution on Energy Consumption in Buildings: A Case Study of Northern Cyprus

This study aims to investigate the impact of walling in terms of insulation location and distribution on energy consumption in building. The number of seven wall assemblies with the same thermal mass varying in thermal insulation location and distribution was studied. Dynamic thermal simulation was employed using EDSL Tas software as the main research tool. Continuous (24 hours) air conditioning and Northern Cyprus climatic references were applied in Famagusta as well. The outcomes revealed that utilization of thermal insulation indicated significant improvement on the overall energy performance of the buildings. It also indicated a significance when locate insulation layer in the outside of the building external walls. This project is the first part of a much larger project that intends to propose the suitable wall construction in the case of Northern Cyprus which not only create a knowledge base of passive techniques in terms of walling but it also address areas of material, thickness and the hybrid technologies

Intestinal parasitic infections in chronic psychiatric patients in Sina Hospital Shahre-Kord, Iran

Background: Although the number of infectious diseases has sharply decreased in last few decades, parasitic diseases persist in developing countries. On the other hand, chronic psychiatric patients tend to have low self-control, poor personal hygiene, long term institutionalization and extremely low self-care should be monitored for parasitic diseases since psychosocial conditions can contribute to an affinity for infectious diseases
