The text what you have consists of some remarks about the translation of the commentary on the ‘Book Alpha Meizon’, the second book of Averroes’ Tafsīr Mā Ba’d at-Tabī’a

    Uniqueness of Asymptotically Conical Higher Codimension Self-Shrinkers and Self-Expanders

    Let CC be an mm-dimensional cone immersed in Rn+m\mathbb{R}^{n+m}. In this paper, we show that if F:MmRn+mF:M^m \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+m} is a properly immersed mean curvature flow self-shrinker which is smoothly asymptotic to CC, then it is unique and converges to CC with unit multiplicity. Furthermore, if F1F_1 and F2F_2 are self-expanders that both converge to CC smoothly asymptotically and their separation decreases faster than ρm1eρ2/4\rho^{-m-1}e^{-\rho^2/4} in the Hausdorff metric, then the images of F1F_1 and F2F_2 coincide.Comment: 37 pages. A few typos have been corrected and a redundant topological condition has been droppe

    The issue of human bombing, which is popularly known as suicide bombing has become important in the Western world since the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks. Since then the issue of human bombing has become important to academia, the media, and security experts. This interest has resulted in much literature attempting to explain why human bombings take place and what motivates the bombers; for instance, the works of Gambetta (2006); Pape (2006); Merari (2010); Hafez (2006, 2007); Wright (2007); Bloom (2005, 2010); Friedman (2005); and Khosrokhavar (2005).Publisher PD

    As a result of the evolutions one of the founding fathers of the 19th century Russian literature Nikolay Vasilyevich Gogol experienced in his thought, 'a few Gogol views' have been formed in the history of Russian literature according to both Western specialists and native Russian researchers. As Gogol is known more for his contribution to critical realism in Russian literature, the deep and vast allusions to layers of meaning in the plots of his works under the influence of despotism at that period make Gogol's works today much more valuable. N. V. Gogol's allusions of 'vastness and deepness' had quite different reflections on man's search for his interpretation and reading, and this difference has been keeping on widening his great diversity of understanding. Alev Alatlı shared the Gogol's readings with her readers in the novel Not Enlightenment, Compassion! / Aydınlanma DeÄŸil, Merhamet! with its unique plot and style, the first book of this series consisting of four volumes whose main title Following Gogol/Gogol'ün Ä°zinden' is given by her in the year 2003. In the novel the title 'Compassion' is preferred to 'Enlightenment', in pursuit of Gogol's readings after 151 years of his death by Alev Alatlı, a highly cultured intellectual; her perceptions of him and the actions triggered by this perceptions is the purpose of this presentation on the basis of the aforementioned work.Origins of Gogol’s compassion, its perception by Russian writers of that time, “Readings†of N. V. Gogol’s Compassion by Alev Alatlı based on cultural diversities

    Pemanfaatan energi listrik oleh konumen yang dilayani oleh PT. PLN (Persero) dari jaringan distribusi tegangan rendah ke rumah melalui APP (Alat Pembatas dan Pengukuran) dimana alat tersebut berfungsi untuk mengukur dan membatasi energi listrik yang dipakai oleh konsumen, pembatasan pemakaian energi listrik d i l a k u k a n o l e h MCB (Mi n i a t u r e Ci r c u i t Br e a k e r ) d a n pengukuran pemakaian energi listrik d i l a k u k a n o l e h kWH meter ( killo Watt Hour). Pemakaian energi listrik sering kali disalahgunakan seperti, pencurian energi listrik dengan modus pembolongan kWH meter dimana kWH meter dilobangi / ditusuk pakai kawat / jarum dan sebagainya yang mengakibatkan putaran piringan kWH meter akan lambat tanpa memikirkan dampak / efek yang timbul pada alat ukur listrik tersebut, kondisi ini dikategorikan penyalahgunaan oleh konsumen. Penyelidikan yang dilakukan terhadap penyalahgunaan pemakaian energi listrik oleh konsumen dilakukan melalui penelitian pada pelanggan PT. PLN (Persero) Rayon Ampera. Hasil penyelidikan terdapat loses gardu yang telah mencapai loses sebesar >10 % dapat dikatakan gardu tersebut bermasalah dan diindikasikan pada daerah tertentu terdapat adanya pencurian energi listrik sehingga harus disisir sesuai daerah gardu yang telah terindetifikasi loses.Kata Kunci : Kwh meter 1 Phasa, alat pembatas pengukur (APP)
