List of Bay Area Rapid Transit stations

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is a heavy rail rapid transit system in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, United States. With average weekday ridership around passengers in, BART is the fifth busiest rapid transit system in the United States. BART is administered by the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, a special district government agency formed by Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco counties.

BART has 50 stations: 19 on the surface, 15 elevated, and 16 underground (i.e. subway). 22 stations are in Alameda County, 12 are in Contra Costa, and 8 are in San Francisco. 6 stations are in San Mateo County and 2 are in Santa Clara County; those counties are not part of the BART special district, but contribute to operations funding. , has the highest ridership and  has the lowest. Every day before 9 pm, BART trains run on five principal routes; four are transbay routes connecting San Francisco to Oakland and various destinations in the East Bay, while the Orange Line runs exclusively in the East Bay. The Green and Red lines do not run after 9 pm, but all stations remain accessible by transfers via other routes.

BART's first route between and, the Orange Line, opened in September 1972; it was extended to  in January 1973. Service began between and  on the Yellow Line in May 1973, and between  and  in November 1973. The original system was completed in September 1974 when the underwater Transbay Tube and opened. BART's three routes then were the Orange, Yellow, and Green lines. opened as an infill station in 1976, and direct Richmond–Daly City service began operating that year.

The Yellow Line was extended to in 1995, and to  and  in 1996. BART's fifth route, the Blue Line, began service with a new branch to in 1997. The San Mateo County line was extended south from Colma to and  in 2003. A second infill station,, opened in 2011. The automated guideway transit (AGT) Oakland Airport Connector opened in 2014 to serve Oakland International Airport. BART service was extended south from Fremont to in 2017, then to  in 2020. A diesel multiple unit feeder service, eBART, opened from Pittsburg/Bay Point to in 2018. Several additional stations, including a subway through San Jose to, are planned or proposed.

Services
BART operates five named and interlined heavy rail services plus one separate automated guideway line. All of the heavy rail services run through Oakland, and all but the Orange Line run through the Transbay Tube to San Francisco. All five services run until 9 pm; only three services operate evenings after 9 pm, as well as some Sundays during maintenance work. All stations are served during all service hours. The eastern segment of the, between Antioch and the transfer platform east of Pittsburg/Bay Point, uses different rolling stock and is separated from the rest of the line.

Unlike most other rapid transit and rail systems around the world, BART lines were not primarily referred to by shorthand designations or their color names (although the colors used on maps have been constant since 1980). The services were mainly identified on maps, schedules, and station signage by the names of their termini. However, the new fleet displays line colors more prominently, and BART has begun to use color names in press releases and GTFS data. In 2022, BART formally announced on Twitter they were using colors on the line map and officially.

Stations
BART has 50 passenger stations, of which 47 are high-platform rapid transit stations. is served by the Oakland Airport Connector, which uses cable-hauled automated guideway transit (AGT) rolling stock; has separate platforms for rapid transit trains and AGT trains. and have low platforms for use with the diesel multiple unit (DMU) trains used on that section of the line. A transfer platform east of, which does not have street access and is not designated as a unique station, provides cross-platform transfers between the rapid transit and DMU sections of the line.

Seven stations are designated as transfer points between services; timed cross-platform transfers are available between the Orange and Yellow lines at (southbound) and  (northbound). Nine stations are the terminal of one or more services; is also a transfer station. Ten stations have connections available to other rail services – Amtrak, Caltrain, Muni Metro, and VTA light rail. All stations are served during all operating hours.

Future stations
The four-station Phase II of the Silicon Valley BART extension will add underground stations at, , and in San José, plus the surface-level  station; it is planned to open in 2036. An infill station on the Warm Springs extension at is planned to open in 2031. Two additional infill stations–the surface-level on the Silicon Valley extension and the elevated  on the Oakland Airport Connector–are proposed but not yet funded or scheduled. Several of these future stations connect with other rail services in the South Bay region, including Altamont Corridor Express, which does not yet have a connection with BART.

Talk:Deeside Consortium

PROD tag
The Deeside Consortium article admits that it is a stub. It contains the words school (twice) and college. It contains four valid links giving the geographical area. What more context do you want at this stage of the article's development? -- RHaworth 09:08, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does say it's a stub. However I have no idea what it is about.  Has the college taken over control of the three schools?  Is it providing bulk purchasing for all 4 schools?  Are they working together to develop courses?  As it reads to someone who knows nothing about this, it is not encylopedic.  Stubs still need to give some idea what they are about and how that makes them notable. A few words about the purpose of the Consortium should clear this up.  I suspect that if someone completly explains the purpose of the Deeside Consortium, then the stub will no longer be needed since the article would be reasonably complete.

It seems to be a true stub: it needs solid references and context, but it has claims of notability (responsibility over the schools in some way). That's why I removed the prod tag. tedder (talk) 00:51, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:University of Seville

Unaccurate article
Seville was recaptured from the arabs in the XIII century (1248).

It was recaptured by the King San Fernando the third.

Seville was founded by the phoenicians about 2.800 years.

The college that gave birth to the university dates back to the final of the XIV century.

The current building that hosts the rectorate is from the XVIII century.

After that, why even bother to continue reading such a poorly redacted article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.172.67.38 (talk) 15:13, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Mansur ibn Ilyas

Manṣūr ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Yūsuf Ibn Ilyās (منصور ابن محمد ابن احمد ابن يوسف ابن الياس) was a late 14th-century and early 15th-century Persian physician from Shiraz, Timurid Persia, commonly known for his publication of the colored atlas of the human body, Mansur’s Anatomy. It is important to know that al-Jurjani (1040–1136) published a book called "Zakhireye Khwarazmshahi" which Mansur could have copied the illustrations from his book.

Early life and education
Mansur ibn Ilyas was born in the mid-14th century in the city of Shiraz, located in the providence of Fars in central Persia, in what is modern day Shiraz, Iran. He was born into a wealthy and well respected family. Mansur received most of his education from his family in Shiraz, who were also well established scholars, physicians, and active as jurists and poets. He was educated in traditional schools in the Persian province of Fars and traveled to many other cities, which assisted in his education. Most notably, Mansur traveled several times to the city of Tabriz, which was known for its rich scientific background.

Notable works
Mansur wrote many medical manuscripts ranging from a synopsis of general medicine, Kifaya-yi Mansuri, to Tashrih-i Mansuri (تشریح منصوری), a system-based anatomical work complete with colored illustrations of different organ systems. He dedicated both of his major medical writings, a general medical encyclopedia, and a study of anatomy to rulers of the Persian province of Fars, Prince Pir Mohammad Bahador Khan, the grandson of Tamerlane. Throughout his works, Mansur engaged in then-controversial topics, and made references to the works of Aristotle, Hippocrates, al-Razi, and Avicenna.

The work he was most known for was his, Tashrīḥ-i badan-i insān (تشریح بدن انسان, The Anatomy of the Human Body) (MS P 19), also known as Mansur's Anatomy (تشریح منصوری Tashrīḥi Manṣūri) Commissioned by Zayn al-Abidin (زین العابدین), an important political figure in being the last Muzaffarid ruler of Fars, Mansur's Anatomy is a medical treatise of about forty manuscript folios. It consists of seven sections: an introduction, five chapters covering the osseous, nervous, muscular, venous, and arterial systems, and an appendix on the formation of the fetus and compound organs, such as the heart. Instead of discussing interrelated functions of organs, he discussed organs based on their hierarchical ordering of functionality-related groups according to their importance to the life of the body. In this manner he discussed the anatomy of the vital and respiratory organs, and then the anatomy of the organs of nourishment, perception, and finally, reproduction. A concluding section on compound organs, such as the heart and brain, and on the formation of the fetus, was illustrated with a diagram showing a pregnant woman. Mansur's Anatomy is chiefly recognized for its inclusion of such colored anatomical illustrations, the first of its kind in the Arabic world.

Physicians and philosophers often argued whether the heart or brain was formed first in the fetus, and this debate forms an important part of Mansur ibn Ilyas' written works. In his works, Mansur ibn Ilyas argues that the heart is the first organ to form, unlike Hippocrates who argued that the brain is the first organ. Mansur ibn Ilyas' reasoning for the heart as the primary organ was that the semen is composed of air and strong heat, creating a substance called pneuma, which needs to be contained or it will decompose. The containment of the pneuma is within the heart, creating the body and making the heart the main source of the body’s natural heat. The heart also acts as the main force in forming the other organs; using the heat from the heart, the heart is able to provide the rest of the body with nourishment. This marks the start of the formation of the liver, which holds the source of nourishment within it. Lastly, Mansur argued that the brain is the organ that contains the senses, and these senses are what gives life force to the body. If the brain is formed first, like Hippocrates said, then there is nothing for the brain to give life to. The heart needs to be formed before the brain, so that the brain can give its life force to the rest of the body. Throughout his works, Mansur made references to the works of Aristotle, Hippocrates, al-Razi, and Avicenna.

Kifāyah-i Mujāhidīyah كفايه مجاهديه (MS P 28, item 4)  (The Sufficient [book] for Mujahid'')

Impact
While Mansur's Anatomy was not the first notation of the human body, it is considered to be the first color atlas ever created. This document led to a great deal of change in the way the Islamic world viewed human anatomy at the time, as until this point a color atlas was considered to be against Islamic law. Mansur ibn Ilyas is also credited with one of the earliest anatomical sketches of a pregnant woman; while many believe his other illustrations to have been inspired by earlier Latin and Greek writings, the pregnant woman is considered an original work.

William Lindsay Gresham

William Lindsay Gresham (August 20, 1909 – September 14, 1962) was an American novelist and non-fiction author particularly well-regarded among readers of noir. His best-known work is Nightmare Alley (1946), which was adapted to film in 1947 and 2021.

Life and career
Gresham was born in Baltimore, Maryland. As a child, he moved with his family to New York, where he became fascinated by the sideshow at Coney Island. Upon graduating from Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn in 1926, Gresham drifted from job to job, and worked as a folk singer in Greenwich Village.

His parents divorced when he was 16. His own first marriage also ended in divorce, as well as his second to a New Jersey socialite, which fell apart after nine years when he returned to the United States, embittered by his experiences in Spain. In 1937, Gresham had served as a volunteer medic for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade forces during the Spanish Civil War. There, he befriended a former sideshow employee, Joseph Daniel "Doc" Halliday, and their long conversations inspired much of his work, particularly Gresham's two books about the American carnival, the nonfiction Monster Midway and the fictional Nightmare Alley.

Returning to the United States in 1939, after a troubling period that involved a stay in a tuberculosis ward and a suicide attempt, Gresham found work editing true crime magazines. In 1942, Gresham married Joy Davidman, a poet, with whom he had two children, David and Douglas.

In 1946 he published Nightmare Alley, his first and most successful novel. It was purchased by Hollywood for $60,000 and made into a film of the same name starring Tyrone Power in 1947. Gresham and Davidman moved into a sprawling fourteen-room house in Staatsburg, New York.

Gresham was an unfaithful and alcoholic husband. Davidman, an ethnically Jewish atheist, became a fan of the writings of C. S. Lewis, which led eventually to her conversion to Christianity. Within a year or so Gresham was calling himself a Christian, which influenced his second and last novel, Limbo Tower. However, the couple struggled financially, and Gresham would have tax problems for many years to come. Davidman complained to friends of his frequent drinking, serial infidelity, and even occasional eruptions of violence. At this time Gresham became interested in Dianetics, the 1950 self-help book by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Although an early enthusiast of Scientology, he later denounced it as another kind of spook racket.

Suffering from an illness, Davidman decided to go to England in 1952 to seek out C.S. Lewis, with whom she'd been corresponding. She invited her cousin, Renée Rodriguez—who was fleeing an abusive husband with her two small children—to keep house for her family in her absence. Gresham and Rodriguez soon began an affair.

Gresham wrote to Davidman in January 1953 that he and Rodriguez had become lovers and Davidman returned to New York, enduring an awkward period during which all three of them were living under the same roof because none could afford to go anywhere else.

Davidman sold the house to pay off the Internal Revenue Service and moved to England with the boys. Later she married Lewis, their relationship forming the inspiration for the play and movie Shadowlands.

Gresham married Rodriguez as soon as the divorce was finalized. After Davidman's untimely death, Gresham visited England to see his sons. When it became apparent that they were well cared for, he left them in the care of Lewis.

Gresham joined Alcoholics Anonymous and developed a deep interest in Spiritualism, having already exposed many of the fraudulent techniques of popular spiritualists in his two sideshow-themed books and having written a book about Houdini with the assistance of noted skeptic James Randi. Twenty-four of his articles and stories on fairgrounds, spook shows, and hucksters were republished in 2013 as Grindshow: the Selected Writings of William Lindsay Gresham.

Death
In 1962, Gresham's health began to take a turn for the worse. He had started to go blind and was diagnosed with tongue cancer. On September 14, 1962, he checked into the Dixie Hotel, Manhattan—which he had often frequented while writing Nightmare Alley over a decade earlier. There, 53-year-old Gresham took his life with an overdose of sleeping pills. His death went generally unnoticed by the New York press but for a mention by a bridge columnist. Business cards were found in his pocket, reading "No Address. No Phone. No Business. No Money. Retired."

"History" question
I'm not sure that this statement is correct: "...although these animals were promptly culled." I remember quite a tempest about a significant delay after the major feed supplier became aware the accident had happened before the farmers were contacted and the information shared. Many people I knew personally were affected, including a friend whose chickens had the highest level of contamination of any tested. Is this point worth researching further? I'm keeping track of the longterm effects of the poisoning with surveillance of the literature and have approached a university about a possible research project on a specific health issue involving young men born 1972 to 1975. Should this question be inappropriate, I apologize. The PBB poisoning of Michigan spread far beyond the state line. Michmaade 19:44, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Michmaade that the word promptly is not very specific or accurate. An excellent history of the PBB incident was published in the American Journal of Public Health (Reich MR. 1983. Environmental politics and science: the case of PBB contamination in Michigan. Am J Public Health 73(3): 302-313.) I'll look up more details and report back.

Question
The article mentions something of a "justified" sock puppet. Would this be, for example, using another account to discuss an edit with someone who holds a grudge against you and therefore making it unbalanced? Timekeeper 13:48, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Doppelgangers are not justified sockpuppets; they are accounts created to prevent impersonation. They are similar usernames to the user's existing account, and are never, ever, used for editing, unlike sockpuppets, which are used for editing, and are intended to be unconnected to the user's existing account.

'''Pistolet maszynowy wz. 39 Mors' (Mors is Latin for death, Polish for walrus'') was a Polish submachine gun designed by Piotr Wilniewczyc and Jan Skrzypiński between 1936 and 1938. It was to have become the standard submachine gun of the Polish Army some time in the 1940s. However, its production was halted by the 1939 Invasion of Poland and World War II.

Design and History
The design was generally modelled after the German ERMA EMP-35. Common features of the two weapons included a wooden butt and forward pistol grip; the most noticeable difference was the magazine extending downwards in the Mors rather than to the left side of the ERMA. The SMG was to be issued to some of the infantry units, as well as to tank crews and boarding parties of the Polish Navy and armoured trains. Later the idea of equipping tank crews was abandoned due to its size. After extensive tests, the construction proved to be reliable and durable. The first trial series of 36 was ordered in March 1939 and additional purchases were planned. However, until September 1939 the Fabryka Karabinów in Warsaw produced only 39, 3 of these being the prototypes (however some sources state that up to 52 were manufactured). After the start of hostilities, all were issued to the 3rd Rifle Battalion, which used them during the battle for Warsaw, and to the staff company of the 39th Infantry Division.

Only 4 incomplete SMGs have survived: one in the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw (no.38, acquired from the Soviet Union in 1983), two in Russia (no.19 in Petersburg and no.39 in Moscow) and one in Budapest museum, since 2013 loaned to Land Forces Museum in Bydgoszcz.

We Are All on Drugs

"We Are All on Drugs" is a song by American alternative rock band Weezer. It was released as the second single from the band's 2005 album, Make Believe. "We Are All on Drugs" was released to radio on July 12, 2005. The song is not specifically about drugs. Rather, Rivers Cuomo has said that it is more generally about the over-stimulated society addicted to the internet, gambling, drugs and relationships.

Alternate lyrics
The song went into mixing with two lines in the bridge:, "I want to confiscate your drugs/ I don't think I can get enough", and was eventually released that way on early printings of the album, and on published sheet music. It was replaced on future printings (as well as on the CD single) with "I want to reach a higher plane/ where things will never be the same."

An edited version of the song for MTV "We Are All in Love", changed "on drugs" to "in love" in the chorus. Patrick Wilson suggested having the edit be "We Are All on Hugs", which Cuomo thought was too "quirky". Brian Bell suggested the "in love" edit. Despite this edit the headline "WE ARE ALL ON DRUGS" still remains on the newspaper Cuomo reads at the barber shop in the music video.

Music video
The music video for the song features Rivers Cuomo wandering through a world where people appear to be on drugs (with many of the extras miming to the lyrics). The video was directed by Justin Francis. The video was the most complex shoot in Weezer history, spanning two days, having various actors, special effects and at one point according to Brian Bell, nearly being shut down by the police. Rick Rubin, the song's producer, makes a cameo as a firefighter towards the end.

Inspiration
Cuomo said about the song: "I was living in an apartment above the Sunset Strip, and every Friday and Saturday night I'd hear people cruising and partying, and hooting and hollering. And I went to sleep one night and I heard those sounds all through the night, in my dreams. I had this dream about a kid on the Metro bus, blasting hip hop into his brain through his headphones. And the music sounded so decadent and overstimulating, and I woke up in the midst of that dream, in a haze, and immediately said to myself, 'Man, we're all on drugs!' And I instantly knew that would be a cool song."

In a May 9, 2005 interview with Y100, Cuomo talked about the song: "Don't take it literally...I'm singing more about the fact [of] how addicted we all are to stimulating ourselves, and over-stimulating ourselves with music, or whatever it is in our lives. [It's] not necessarily about drugs."

Reception
AllMusic writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine thought that "We Are All on Drugs" was one of the three highlights on the album.

Maqsud-Ali Tabrizi

Maqsud Ali Tabrizi was a 17th-century Iranian physician in Mughal India. As indicated by his nisba, he was from Tabriz. He was a translator who worked at the request of the Mughal emperor Jahangir (who ruled 1605–1627 CE).

He translated Arabic treatises into Persian, including the Arabic treatise on the lives and sayings of 34 pre-Islamic and 77 post-Islamic scholars and physicians, that were composed by al-Shahrazuri in 1282 CE.

The National Library of Medicine has a copy of Maqsud Ali Tabrizi's Persian translation of this biographical dictionary which states that he began translating al-Shahrazuri's treatise in 1602CE, though other sources state that he undertook the translation in 1605CE at the request of Jahangir.

According to some biographical sources, Tabrizi was a Sufi scholar who nonetheless became an influential figure at the court of the governor of Gujarat, whom he served many years before enemies intrigued against him and he was imprisoned in the fortress of Gwalior.

Couette flow

In fluid dynamics, Couette flow is the flow of a viscous fluid in the space between two surfaces, one of which is moving tangentially relative to the other. The relative motion of the surfaces imposes a shear stress on the fluid and induces flow. Depending on the definition of the term, there may also be an applied pressure gradient in the flow direction.

The Couette configuration models certain practical problems, like the Earth's mantle and atmosphere, and flow in lightly loaded journal bearings. It is also employed in viscometry and to demonstrate approximations of reversibility.

It is named after Maurice Couette, a Professor of Physics at the French University of Angers in the late 19th century.

Planar Couette flow
Couette flow is frequently used in undergraduate physics and engineering courses to illustrate shear-driven fluid motion. A simple configuration corresponds to two infinite, parallel plates separated by a distance $$h$$; one plate translates with a constant relative velocity $$U$$ in its own plane. Neglecting pressure gradients, the Navier–Stokes equations simplify to

 * $$\frac{d^2 u}{d y^2} = 0,$$

where $$y$$ is the spatial coordinate normal to the plates and $$u(y)$$ is the velocity field. This equation reflects the assumption that the flow is unidirectional — that is, only one of the three velocity components $$(u, v, w)$$ is non-trivial. If the lower plate corresponds to $$y=0$$, the boundary conditions are $$u(0)=0$$ and $$u(h)=U$$. The exact solution

 * $$u (y) = U\frac{y}{h} $$

can be found by integrating twice and solving for the constants using the boundary conditions. A notable aspect of the flow is that shear stress is constant throughout the domain. In particular, the first derivative of the velocity, $$U/h$$, is constant. According to Newton's Law of Viscosity (Newtonian fluid), the shear stress is the product of this expression and the (constant) fluid viscosity.

Startup
In reality, the Couette solution is not reached instantaneously. The "startup problem" describing the approach to steady state is given by

 * $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \nu \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2}$$

subject to the initial condition

 * $$u(y,0)=0, \quad 00.$$

The problem can be made homogeneous by subtracting the steady solution. Then, applying separation of variables leads to the solution:

 * $$u(y,t)= U \frac{y}{h} - \frac{2U}{\pi} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n} e^{-n^2 \pi^2 \frac{\nu t}{h^2}} \sin \left[n \pi \left(1-\frac{y}{h}\right)\right]$$.

The timescale describing relaxation to steady state is $$t\sim h^2/\nu$$, as illustrated in the figure. The time required to reach the steady state depends only on the spacing between the plates $$h$$ and the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, but not on $$U$$.

Planar flow with pressure gradient
A more general Couette flow includes a constant pressure gradient $$G=-dp/dx=\mathrm{constant}$$ in a direction parallel to the plates. The Navier–Stokes equations are

 * $$  \frac{d^2 u}{d y^2}  =- \frac{G}{\mu},$$

where $$\mu$$ is the dynamic viscosity. Integrating the above equation twice and applying the boundary conditions (same as in the case of Couette flow without pressure gradient) gives

 * $$u (y) = \frac{G}{2\mu} y \, (h-y) + U \frac{y}{h}.$$

The pressure gradient can be positive (adverse pressure gradient) or negative (favorable pressure gradient). In the limiting case of stationary plates ($$U=0$$), the flow is referred to as Plane Poiseuille flow, and has a symmetric (with reference to the horizontal mid-plane) parabolic velocity profile.

Compressible flow
In incompressible flow, the velocity profile is linear because the fluid temperature is constant. When the upper and lower walls are maintained at different temperatures, the velocity profile is more complicated. However, it has an exact implicit solution as shown by C. R. Illingworth in 1950.

Consider the plane Couette flow with lower wall at rest and the upper wall in motion with constant velocity $$U$$. Denote fluid properties at the lower wall with subscript $$w$$ and properties at the upper wall with subscript $$\infty$$. The properties and the pressure at the upper wall are prescribed and taken as reference quantities. Let $$l$$ be the distance between the two walls. The boundary conditions are

 * $$u=0, \ v =0, \ h=h_w=c_{pw} T_w \ \text{at} \ y=0,$$
 * $$u=U, \ v =0, \ h=h_\infty=c_{p\infty} T_\infty, \ p=p_\infty \ \text{at} \ y=l$$

where $$h$$ is the specific enthalpy and $$c_p$$ is the specific heat. Conservation of mass and $$y$$-momentum requires $$v=0, \ p=p_\infty$$ everywhere in the flow domain. Conservation of energy and $$x$$-momentum reduce to

 * $$ \frac{d}{dy} \left(\mu \frac{du}{dy}\right) =0, \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d\tau}{dy}=0, \quad \Rightarrow \quad \tau=\tau_w$$
 * $$ \frac{1}{\mathrm{Pr}}\frac{d}{dy} \left(\mu \frac{dh}{dy}\right) + \mu \left(\frac{du}{dy}\right)^2=0.$$

where $$\tau=\tau_w=\text{constant}$$ is the wall shear stress. The flow does not depend on the Reynolds number $$\mathrm{Re}=U l/\nu_\infty$$, but rather on the Prandtl number $$\mathrm{Pr}=\mu_\infty c_{p\infty}/\kappa_\infty$$ and the Mach number $$\mathrm{M} = U/c_\infty= U/\sqrt{(\gamma-1)h_\infty}$$, where $$\kappa$$ is the thermal conductivity, $$c$$ is the speed of sound and $$\gamma$$ is the specific heat ratio. Introduce the non-dimensional variables

 * $$\tilde y = \frac{y}{l}, \quad \tilde T = \frac{T}{T_\infty}, \quad \tilde T_w = \frac{T_w}{T_\infty}, \quad \tilde h = \frac{h}{h_\infty}, \quad \tilde h_w= \frac{h_w}{h_\infty}, \quad \tilde u=\frac{u}{U}, \quad \tilde\mu = \frac{\mu}{\mu_\infty}, \quad \tilde\tau_w = \frac{\tau_w}{\mu_\infty U/l}$$

In terms of these quantities, the solutions are

 * $$\tilde h = \tilde h_w + \left[\frac{\gamma-1}{2} \mathrm{M}^2 \mathrm{Pr} + (1-\tilde h_w)\right] \tilde u - \frac{\gamma-1}{2} \mathrm{M}^2 \mathrm{Pr} \, \tilde u^2,$$
 * $$\tilde y = \frac{1}{\tilde \tau_w} \int_0^{\tilde u} \tilde \mu \, d\tilde u, \quad \tilde \tau_w = \int_0^1 \tilde \mu \, d\tilde u, \quad q_w = - \frac{1}{\mathrm{Pr}} \tau_w \left(\frac{dh}{du}\right)_w,$$

where $$q_w$$ is the heat transferred per unit time per unit area from the lower wall. Thus $$\tilde h, \tilde T, \tilde u, \tilde \mu$$ are implicit functions of $$y$$. One can also write the solution in terms of the recovery temperature $$T_r$$ and recovery enthalpy $$h_r$$ evaluated at the temperature of an insulated wall i.e., the values of $$T_w$$ and $$h_w$$ for which $$q_w=0$$. Then the solution is

 * $$\frac{q_w}{\tau_w U} = \frac{\tilde T_w-\tilde T_r}{(\gamma-1)\mathrm{M}^2 \mathrm{Pr}}, \quad \tilde T_r =1+ \frac{\gamma-1}{2} \mathrm{M}^2\mathrm{Pr},$$
 * $$\tilde h = \tilde h_w + (\tilde h_r-\tilde h_w) \tilde u - \frac{\gamma-1}{2}\mathrm{M}^2 \mathrm{Pr} \, \tilde u^2.$$

If the specific heat is constant, then $$\tilde h=\tilde T$$. When $$\mathrm{M}\rightarrow 0$$ and $$T_w=T_\infty, \Rightarrow q_w= 0$$, then $$T$$ and $$\mu$$ are constant everywhere, thus recovering the incompressible Couette flow solution. Otherwise, one must know the full temperature dependence of $$\tilde \mu(\tilde T)$$. While there is no simple expression for $$\tilde \mu(\tilde T)$$ that is both accurate and general, there are several approximations for certain materials — see, e.g., temperature dependence of viscosity. When $$\mathrm{M}\rightarrow 0$$ and $$q_w\neq 0$$, the recovery quantities become unity $$\tilde T_r=1$$. For air, the values $$\gamma=1.4, \ \tilde \mu(\tilde T) = \tilde T^{2/3}$$ are commonly used, and the results for this case are shown in the figure.

The effects of dissociation and ionization (i.e., $$c_p$$ is not constant) have also been studied; in that case the recovery temperature is reduced by the dissociation of molecules.

Rectangular channel
One-dimensional flow $$u(y)$$ is valid when both plates are infinitely long in the streamwise ($$x$$) and spanwise ($$z$$) directions. When the spanwise length is finite, the flow becomes two-dimensional and $$u$$ is a function of both $$y$$ and $$z$$. However, the infinite length in the streamwise direction must be retained in order to ensure the unidirectional nature of the flow.

As an example, consider an infinitely long rectangular channel with transverse height $$h$$ and spanwise width $$l$$, subject to the condition that the top wall moves with a constant velocity $$U$$. Without an imposed pressure gradient, the Navier–Stokes equations reduce to

 * $$\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} + \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial z^2} =0$$

with boundary conditions

 * $$ u(0,z) =0, \quad u(h,z) = U,$$
 * $$ u(y,0) =0, \quad u(y,l) = 0.$$

Using separation of variables, the solution is given by

 * $$u(y,z) = \frac{4U}{\pi} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{2n-1} \frac{\sinh (\beta_n y)}{\sinh (\beta_n h)} \sin (\beta_n z), \quad \beta_n = \frac{(2n-1)\pi}{l}.$$

When $$h/l\ll 1$$, the planar Couette flow is recovered, as shown in the figure.

Coaxial cylinders
Taylor–Couette flow is a flow between two rotating, infinitely long, coaxial cylinders. The original problem was solved by Stokes in 1845, but Geoffrey Ingram Taylor's name was attached to the flow because he studied its stability in a famous 1923 paper.

The problem can be solved in cylindrical coordinates $$(r, \theta, z)$$. Denote the radii of the inner and outer cylinders as $$R_1$$ and $$R_2$$. Assuming the cylinders rotate at constant angular velocities $$\Omega_1$$ and $$\Omega_2$$, then the velocity in the $$\theta$$-direction is

 * $$v_\theta (r) = a r + \frac{b}{r}, \qquad a = \frac{\Omega_2 R_2^2-\Omega_1 R_1^2}{R_2^2-R_1^2}, \quad b = \frac{(\Omega_1-\Omega_2)R_1^2 R_2^2}{R_2^2-R_1^2}.$$

This equation shows that the effects of curvature no longer allow for constant shear in the flow domain.

Coaxial cylinders of finite length
The classical Taylor–Couette flow problem assumes infinitely long cylinders; if the cylinders have non-negligible finite length $$l$$, then the analysis must be modified (though the flow is still unidirectional). For $$\Omega_2=0$$, the finite-length problem can be solved using separation of variables or integral transforms, giving:

v_\theta(r,z) = \frac{4R_1\Omega_1}{\pi} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{2n-1} \frac{I_1(\beta_n R_2) K_1(\beta_n  r) - K_1(\beta_n  R_2) I_1(\beta_n  r)}{I_1(\beta_n  R_2) K_1(\beta_n  R_1) - K_1(\beta_n  R_2) I_1(\beta_n  R_1)} \sin (\beta_n  z), \quad \beta_n = \frac{(2n-1)\pi}{l}, $$

where $$I(\beta_n r),\ K(\beta_nr)$$ are the Modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind.

Al-Shahrazuri

Shams al-Din Muhammad ibn Mahmud Shahrazuri was a 13th-century Muslim physician, historian and philosopher. He was of Kurdish origin. It appears that he was alive in AD 1288. However, it is also said that he died in the same year.

Shahrazuri was an important historian and scholar of the late 13th century who composed a biographical dictionary of both ancient Greek and early Muslim learned men. Although he wrote a major biographical work on scholars, very little is known about his life, including the dates of his birth and death. Perhaps the most well known work by him is Nuzhat al arwâḥ wa rawḍat al-afrâḥ. According to the correction and reprint by M A Khurshid, there are several copies of the book; one of them in the John Rylands library in Manchester.

Edward Granville Browne mentions two medical works attributed to him, one in Arabic and another in Persian language. (E. Browne, p. 100) One of his philosophical works is commentary about philosopher Suhrawardi called Sharḥ Ḥikma al-ishrâq. It is also said that the well known commentary works of Qutb al-Din Al Shirazi called Durrat al-Taj about Suhrawardi's Hikmat al-Ishraq is based on Sharḥ Ḥikma al-ishrâq. It is also said that another of his work regarding Suhrawardi's Illumnationist philosophy is the most faithful, called al-Shajarah al-Ilahiyyah (The Divine Tree).

Rox (American TV series)

Rox is an American independently produced television and subsequently web series, noted for its political activism as well as for its aesthetic and technical achievements. First shown on public-access cable TV in Bloomington, Indiana, the series expanded to multiple cable systems before becoming the first television series distributed on the internet in April 1995. Though an underground production with virtually no budget, the show has generated significant controversy and garnered major media coverage, as well as scholarly attention, especially during its earliest years.

Background and original concept
In the fall of 1989, Bart Everson was arrested for public indecency (streaking) and assigned to community service at Community Access Television Services (then Bloomington Community Access Television) in Bloomington, Indiana. It was here that Everson learned how to produce videos for local cablecast, which a number of writers have suggested was key to the development of the series.

Rox premiered (under the title J&B on the ROX) on CATS on July 7, 1992. Originally conceived as a "mixed drink cooking show," the program had no budget and was produced under extremely primitive conditions in the basement of a rental property on the town's northeast side. However, the show quickly mutated in both style and substance as the producers moved to new housing and employed different production techniques.

Production and distribution
Everson and bartender Joe Nickell produced three seasons of television from 1992 to 1995. Each season consisted of 26 (or more) weekly program of approximately half an hour in length.

As the producers became more ambitious, the program expanded to public access cable stations in other cities through the laborious process of sending individual tapes through the mail.

In April 1995, ten years before the launch of YouTube, Rox began distributing via the web. The debut internet episode, "Global Village Idiots," was produced in segmented fashion and encoded as a series of short QuickTime videos for download from the show's website at rox.com. The program was hailed as the first television series on the internet    and an example of "the real impact of the digital revolution in pop culture."

Everson and Nickell ceased production in 1995, citing financial difficulties, but distribution continued to expand. The producers signed several contracts with Free Speech TV, allowing for distribution via satellite on Dish Network. In the early days of Free Speech TV, this was "the network's most popular show."

Nickell moved to Montana; Everson relocated to New Orleans, but after an eight-year hiatus, they resumed production with their 87th episode.

Subject matter and stylistic approach
Over the course of four seasons and almost a hundred episodes, Rox has covered a wide variety of topics, from the banal task of defrosting a freezer to broader social issues such as poverty and marijuana legalization. The program never uses scripts, employing a reality-based technique of capturing video on the fly, improvising performances, and assembling a narrative after the fact.

One early report described the show as "an offbeat look at art, life, culture, society, and whatever else the two hosts feel like looking at. The basic premise is that of teaching the viewers how to mix a variety of drinks."

However, over the long term, the true subject of the series has proven to be the lives of the producers and their community. This broad approach was reflected when the name of the show was shortened from J&B on the Rox to simply Rox. "We took J&B out of the name of the show because the show's not really about the two of us, it's about the community," Nickell said in an interview at the time. "We call it reality-based because it's based on people's lives."

Many have branded the show as a form of countercultural identity production, with various commentators labeling it as "a good depiction of the slacker lifestyle in Bloomington of the early '90s", "equal parts slacker diary, societal satire and improvisational theater", "a revealing slacker diary and satiric tour de farce of the Bohemian lifestyle," "transform[ing] the bleakest realities of everyday Bloomington, IN, life into 30 minutes of social satire and bohemian adventure."

The show's "early ’90s, grunge aesthetic" is reflected in the "blatantly amateur" camerawork, "grainy" video and "uneven sound."

Through it all, one constant theme has been the mixing and consumption of alcoholic beverages by Joe Nickell, the show's ostensible bartender. Though the program's early history coincided roughly with the beginning of the American craft cocktail renaissance, it can hardly be described as participating in that trend. Indeed, reporters have accused Nickell of perpetrating "the most disgusting cocktails ever conceived" on an unsuspecting populace.

Cast and crew
Because of the shoestring nature of the production, the people behind the camera are usually the same people who are in front of it. No distinction is made between cast and crew.

Among the hundreds of people who have appeared on the show, the following have logged the most time.

 * Joe Nickell, also known as J, who serves as the show's bartender.
 * Bart Everson, also known as B, who serves as the show's editor.
 * Terry Hornsby, a self-styled "anarchist clown" and chronically homeless individual, has produced recurring segments such as the "Anarchist Diary" and "Taiwan Rox."
 * Christy Paxson has been cited by critics as "responsible for many of the program's most memorable moments" because of her "mastery of timing and character voices and her sense of the absurd."

Notable guests

 * Woody Burton
 * Noam Chomsky
 * Richard Cowan
 * Helen Hill

 * David Ossman
 * Varro Eugene Tyler

Controversies
Since the beginning, Rox has courted controversy, initially through attempting to air allegedly obscene material and later through provocative, politically charged depictions of illegal activities.

First season
Conflicts between Rox producers and the Monroe County Public Library (which housed the CATS public access station) cropped up almost immediately, beginning with episode 5 and continuing with episodes 22 and 24.

Telecommunications scholar Lindsy Pack details these three early episodes in a study titled "Ambiguous Standards, Arbitrary Enforcement." The three episodes involved coprophagia, simulated masturbation, and a close-up shot of male genitalia; none were cablecast in their entirety, and were shown only in censored form.

Episode 5, "Rum & Coke Special," featured a segment titled "Coprophagia Corner," in which the hosts displayed a photo, downloaded from the internet, which "depicted a woman defecating into a man's mouth." The episode was held by station director Michael White, and reviewed by the library board. Some members of the board wanted to cancel the series entirely, but in the end a compromise was reached. A portion of the screen was blacked out and the caption "Censored by order of the Monroe County Public Library" was displayed with the library's phone number included; the audio track, which explicitly described the image, was allowed to remain intact.

The controversies surrounding episodes 22 ("Boyz Nite In") and 24 ("A Badly Dubbed Foreign Film") entailed more media attention. Both episodes included video of penises -- in the first case, two real ones, in the second case, a fake. When these episodes were held for review, it got into local newspapers.

Pack found the library's review procedures to be unclear and decried the "policy void" as "unacceptable, and perhaps even unconstitutional."

CATS has since established itself as a "dedicated constitutional forum," in part because of these disputes.

Another side effect to these clashes was to galvanize the producers. When two of the episodes were held back for review, Everson and Nickell chose to run a looping message in their place, which asked viewers to write in. "Our mailbox was stuffed for the next few weeks," Everson wrote twenty years after the fact. "Suddenly we became aware that we had an audience."

Second season
In April 1994, episode 59 generated the show's biggest controversy to date, when the hosts smoked marijuana in front of the Monroe County Courthouse, as a way of dramatizing the argument for legalization. (Marijuana was illegal everywhere in the United States at the time.) The story was covered by all three network affiliates in Indianapolis (the nearest large market) with clips from Rox landing on The Howard Stern Show and, eventually, in MTV's documentary, Straight Dope: An MTV News Special Report on Drugs.

"Local response was mostly positive," however not everyone was impressed. The Indiana Governor's Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana attempted to shut the show down, with executive director Joseph E. Mills III accusing the producers of "the overt promotion of anarchy."

Third season
Undeterred, Rox responded with episode 64, "The Overt Promotion of Anarchy," which reveled in the designation, explored the political philosophy of anarchism, documented police brutality at a Critical Mass bicycle ride, and provided explicit instructions on how to construct a "red box" for circumventing payphone fees on long-distance calls. This segment generated some attention from Indianapolis television news and newspapers.

First-order fluid

A first-order fluid is another name for a power-law fluid with exponential dependence of viscosity on temperature.

 * $$\mu_\mathrm{eff}(\dot \gamma, T) = \mu_0 {\dot \gamma}^{n-1} \exp (-bT)$$

where γ̇ is the shear rate, T is temperature and μ0, n and b are coefficients.

The model can be re-written as
 * $$\mu_\mathrm{eff}(\dot \gamma, T) = \exp \left( A_0 + A_1 \ln \dot \gamma + A_2 T \right) $$

Anitta (king)

Anitta, son of Pitḫana, reigned ca. 1740–1725 BC (middle chronology), and was a king of Kuššara, a city that has yet to be identified. He is the earliest known ruler to compose a text in the Hittite language.

His high official, or rabi simmiltim, was named Peruwa.

Biography
Anitta, according to the middle chronology, reigned c. 1740–1725 BC, or alternatively c. 1730-1715 BC (low middle chronology), and is the author of the Anitta text (CTH 1.A, edited in StBoT 18, 1974), the oldest known text in the Hittite language, also classified as "cushion-shaped" tablet KBo 3.22, being the oldest known text in an Indo-European language altogether. Also known as Deeds of Anitta, it is considered by Alfonso Archi as originally written in Akkadian language and Old Assyrian script, at the time Anitta ruled from Kanesh, when Assur colonies were still in Anatolia. This text seems to represent a cuneiform record of Anitta's inscriptions at Kanesh too, perhaps compiled by Hattusili I, one of the earliest Hittite kings of Hattusa.

The Anitta text indicates that Anitta's father conquered Neša (Kanesh, Kültepe), which became an important city within the kingdom of Kuššara. During his own reign, Anitta defeated Huzziya, the last recorded king of Zalpuwa, and the Hattic king Piyusti and then conquered his capital at the site of the future Hittite capital of Hattusa. He then destroyed the city, sowed the ground with weeds, and laid a curse on the site.

Anitta's name appears on an inscription on a dagger found in Kültepe and also, together with the name of his father, on various Kültepe texts, as well as in later Hittite tradition.

Inyokern Airport

Inyokern Airport is a public use airport located 1 nmi northwest of the central business district of Inyokern, in Kern County, California, United States. It is owned by the Indian Wells Valley Airport District and serves the Indian Wells Valley area. The airport is mostly used for general aviation and was previously served by a number of commuter and regional airlines over the years with passenger flights to Los Angeles (LAX).

As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 11,149 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 11,081 enplanements in 2009, and 11,109 in 2010. It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a primary commercial service airport (more than 10,000 enplanements per year).

Historical airline service
As early as the mid 1950s, Inyokern had scheduled passenger air service operated by Southwest Airways with Douglas DC-3 aircraft twice a day on weekdays nonstop to Burbank Airport (BUR, now Bob Hope Airport) in the Los Angeles area. According to the March 11, 1954, Southwest Airways system timetable, this DC-3 service was "operated under and subject to terms of U.S. Navy Contract". Southwest Airways then changed its name to Pacific Air Lines which in 1960 was operating nonstop DC-3 service to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). By 1964, Pacific was operating Martin 4-0-4 propliners from the airport to LAX. In 1968, Pacific Air Lines merged with Bonanza Air Lines and West Coast Airlines to form Air West which at this time was operating Fairchild F-27 turboprops from Inyokern to Los Angeles via a stop at Fox Field in Lancaster, CA. Air West then changed its name to Hughes Airwest which continued to serve the airport with F-27 propjet flights to LAX via Lancaster. In 1968, Cable Commuter Airlines was operating de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter turboprops to LAX in competition with Air West.

Following the cessation of service by Hughes Airwest in the early 1970s, a number of commuter and regional airlines served the airport over the years with scheduled passenger flights to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Schedules in the Official Airline Guide (OAG) from 1974 through 2007 list flights operated at various times over the years by American Eagle (operated by Wings West Airlines), C&M Airlines, Cable Commuter Airlines, Delta Connection (operated by SkyWest Airlines), Desert Sun Airlines, Golden West Airlines, Indian Wells Airlines, Inland Empire Airlines, Mojave Airlines, and United Express (initially operated by Mesa Airlines and later by SkyWest Airlines). These OAGs also list the various turboprop aircraft types that were operated by most of the above airlines into the airport including the Beechcraft C99 (Desert Sun and Mojave Airlines), the Beechcraft 1900C (Mesa Airlines), the British Aerospace BAe Jetstream 31 (Wings West), the de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter (Cable Commuter Airlines and Golden West), the Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia (SkyWest) and the Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner (SkyWest, Wings West and Inland Empire). C&M Airlines and Indian Wells Airlines operated small Cessna prop aircraft. Scheduled passenger airline service ended following the cessation of United Express flights operated by SkyWest in November 2013.

On July 7, 2017, airport officials awarded a contract to Boutique Air to begin daily flights to Los Angeles International Airport starting August 8, 2017. However, on October 12, 2017, the Indian Wells Valley Airport District board of directors voted to terminate its contract with Boutique Air following a 60-day notice. The airport currently does not have any scheduled passenger service but does have air cargo service.

Drag racing
The Inyokern Airport Dragstrip opened in 1954, and was the second oldest continuously operating dragstrip in the United States, behind Thornhill Dragstrip in Kenton, KY which opened in 1953. The drag strip closed during the 2005 season due to new Federal Aviation Administration regulations.

Soaring
Beginning in the 1950s, regular glider records were set out of Inyokern in various sources of lift. Due to its location on the lee side of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, it is an excellent location for altitude records in wave conditions or distance and speed records in thermal lift. It is a challenging location, as the winds change frequently, but with three long runways pilots generally have a variety of options for launch and landing. Many well known pilots have flown gliders out of Inyokern, including Neil Armstrong, Paul Bikle, and Steve Fossett.

Presently Inyokern Airport is the home to Sierra Soaring Club, which operates a Cessna 182 for towing gliders, a Blanik L-23 for rides and instruction, and a Schweizer 1-35 and Standard Cirrus for wave flights and cross country soaring.

Film history
In the wake of the drag strip's closing, the airport has been actively promoting its use for film shoots, with the Ridgecrest Regional Film Commission marketing its (Runway 28) as "the region's #1 filming location". A notable example of this new use is a television advertisement titled "Gravity", for the Lexus IS. The airdrop "target" featured in the commercial, where the falling automobile hits the ground, was painted on the old drag strip; however, many of the vehicle shots preceding the car drop actually feature the Lexus rolling down runway 20. Other notable automotive television ads shot here include most spots from Saab's "Born from Jets" campaign, as well as spots for Volkswagen, Volvo, Cadillac, Nissan, Mazda, Toyota, Ford, and Chevrolet, just to name a few. Movies have also utilized the airport for shooting, including the aviation blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, which used the hangar facility for scenes with Tom Cruise working on a vintage aircraft.

Facilities and aircraft
Inyokern Airport covers an area of 1640 acre at an elevation of 2457 feet above mean sea level. It has three asphalt paved runways: 15/33 is 7100 by, 2/20 is 6275 by, and 10/28 is 4150 by

For the 12-month period ending March 22, 2021, the airport had about 33,000 aircraft operations, an average of 90 per day: 81% general aviation, 9% military, 5% air taxi, and 4% scheduled commercial. At that time there were 29 aircraft based at this airport: 25 single-engine and 4 multiengine airplanes.

World War II
During World War II the Inyokern Airport was used by the US Navy's as Harvey Field and opened on May 10, 1944. Harvey Field was also used as Inyokern Auxiliary Field. Naval Ordnance Test Station, Inyokern opened on December 12, 1943 with a 900-square mile test range. Vought F4U Corsair trained at the base. Harvey Field is named after Lieutenant Commander Warren W. Harvey for his work on aviation Ordnance for aircraft. Harvey commanded Fighting Squadron Three (VF-3) before the start of WW2. Started the plans for fighting plane tactics. Harvey Field closed in April 1946. The airstrip was built as an emergency landing field in 1935.

Muqim Arzani

Muhammad Akbar ibn Mir Hajji Muhammad Muqim Arzani also known as Shah Mohammad Arzani Dehlavi was an 18th-century Persian physician in Mughal India.

Arzani was a celebrated Sufi physician of the late 17th and early 18th century. He composed many medical treatises, including the Qarabadin-i Qadiri, a pharmacopoeia written as a tribute to Sayyid Abd al-Qadir of Gilan (d. 1165CE) who was the founder of the Sufi order of which Arzani was a member.

Arzani also wrote a handbook of medicine for beginners (Mofarrah al'gholoob), a commentary on the Qanunchah by Jaghmini (a greatly abbreviated version of The Canon of Medicine by Avicenna); Tibb-i Akbari, composed in 1700CE, which was an expanded version of the Arabic treatise Sharh al-asbab wa-al-‘alamat by Burhan al-Din Nafis ibn ‘Iwad al-Kirmani; a Persian treatise on the illnesses occurring during pregnancy and breast-feeding and the diseases of infants; and Mujarrabat-i Akbari, a formulary of compound remedies.

Cherchell or Cherchel
Cherchell is listed on the Encarta map and travel sites. Cherchel is the 1911 Encyclopedia entry. Petersam 06:54, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ancient Egyptian settlement?
I removed this unsourced text from the "Ancient history" section:

 * The town was originally an ancient Egyptian settlement dating back to 1500 BC. In the town archaeologists have found a lower half of a seated Egyptian divinity in black basalt, bearing a cartouche of the Pharaoh of Egypt Thutmose I.

I haven't seen evidence anywhere else that Egypt in 1500 BC (the New Kingdom) controlled anything west of Siwa. I've never read of pharaonic Egypt establishing colonies by sea, which I'm sure a settlement at Cherchell would have required. Even in the Ptolemaic era, when the Egyptians were in contact with the whole Mediterranean world, their realm only extended into eastern Libya (around Cyrene). The Britannica and Catholic Encyclopedia articles linked here say nothing of an Egyptian settlement, only of a Carthaginian one. And even if the Thutmose-era statue was found at Cherchell, it could have been an import, perhaps from the Roman era. Therefore, I am removing the text until it can be cited. A. Parrot (talk) 03:48, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

School essay?
This article reads like a school essay: the style is poor, it's full of unsubstantiated claims, it's long and repetitious, it expresses surprise that a city founded as a colonia (i.e. a settlement of Roman soldiers) should be "Romanised", and that cities in the Roman world should be loyal to "Rome"... It needs a lot of attention. Deipnosophista (talk) 08:36, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It wasn't founded as a Roman colony (albeit colonization involved a notional 'refounding' of the town). That said, you're right that
 * 2002 Microsoft Encarta Encyclopaedia.
 * Children's Britannica – Volume 1, Abbey to Arabs, Algeria
 * aren't terribly good sources. It's great that someone put some work into the page but the information from those kid encyclopedias should probably be cited to sth more grown-up. I'll add some bits from Lipinski. — Llywelyn II   21:19, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Cleaned up the first half of the history section and the bits about the church, if you don't mind going through the more recent parts. — Llywelyn II   14:26, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Roman colony
This old reference also mentions it under the name "Julia Caesarea"; if that's accurate, it should be mentioned with a newer, better source. — Llywelyn II   00:25, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

ʾIy-ḥol
Ok, I found the Wiktionary entry for the Punic word for "island". There's no "I" in the middle of it. It's also unclear what the "I" would be other than the same letter as "Y".

There doesn't seem to be any online source for the Punic word for "sand".  seems to be borrowed from Hebrew. How sure is Lipinski that that was the name? or was it just a conjecture based on Hebrew presumably being very close to what the Punic would've been? (Based on the Hebrew forms, "" is really either "" or "". No one seems to have either 𐤀𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤋 or 𐤀𐤉𐤇𐤋 encoded on the internet yet, though. Maybe it's hidden in a pdf somewhere?

Sorry not to be able to check this myself, but Google Books absolutely refuses to show or allow a search of the text on Lipinski's p. 405. — Llywelyn II   23:37, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Burhan-ud-din Kermani

Burhan-ud-Din Kermani or Burhān al-Din Nafīs ibn ‘Iwad al-Kirmanī was a 15th-century Persian physician from Kerman. He was court physician to Ulugh Beg, the grandson of Tamerlane and the governor of Samarqand from 1409 to 1449.

Life
Kirmani was born in Kerman. His father and other ancestors were renowned physicians. He finished his medical education in Kerman and worked as a physician there. His fame and fortune were so vast that Ulugh Beg, a Timurid king, requested his presence in Samarqand, and made him his special physician. During his stay in Samarqand, he wrote a number of books about medicine, some of which took so long that he finished them after he returned to Kerman. There, he taught medicine to students and wrote many books. He is an ancestor to the Naficy/Nafisi/Nafissi family.

In 1424, Kirmani dedicated to Ulugh Beg his commentary on the medical compendium of Najib al-Din al-Samarqandi, and in 1437 he again dedicated to Ulugh Beg his popular commentary on The Canon of Medicine of Avicenna.

Kirmani's commentary on Najib al-Din al-Samarqandi's treatise was so popular that commentaries were written on the commentary, and it was translated into Persian and amplified by Muqim Arzani in the 18th century.

He is the first to describe "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation" (CPR), in ancient Persia, as a combination of "strong movements and massive chest expansion" (for induction and support of breathing), and "compression of left side of the chest" (equivalent of cardiac compression).

He died in 1449.

His works
1. Sharh Mujaz al-Qanun li Ibn Sina fi al-Tibb, which he completed in 841 H.E., written in Arabic.

2. Sharh al-Asbab wa al-'Alamat, written in Arabic.

3. Sharh al-Amrad al-Juz'iyah of Hippocrates' Kitab al-Fusul, written in Arabic.

Second-order fluid

A second-order fluid is a fluid where the stress tensor is the sum of all tensors that can be formed from the velocity field with up to two derivatives, much as a Newtonian fluid is formed from derivatives up to first order. This model may be obtained from a retarded motion expansion truncated at the second-order. For an isotropic, incompressible second-order fluid, the total stress tensor is given by

\sigma_{ij} = -p \delta_{ij} + \eta_0 A_{ij(1)} + \alpha_1 A_{ik(1)}A_{kj(1)} + \alpha_2 A_{ij(2)}, $$ where
 * $$ -p \delta_{ij}$$ is the indeterminate spherical stress due to the constraint of incompressibility,
 * $$A_{ij(n)}$$ is the $$n$$-th Rivlin–Ericksen tensor,
 * $$\eta_0$$ is the zero-shear viscosity,
 * $$\alpha_1$$ and $$\alpha_2$$ are constants related to the zero shear normal stress coefficients.

Rissen

Rissen is a quarter of the city of Hamburg in Germany. It is located in the borough of Altona and is the westernmost quarter of Hamburg, bordering the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein in the west, north, and northeast and the Elbe river to the south. In 2020, the population was 16,051.

History
Rissen was first officially mentioned in 1255, being named "Risne". For centuries, Rissen was a part of the County of Holstein-Pinneberg, which would have made it a part of the modern German state of Schleswig-Holstein. In 1789, the local government bought a section of Rissen called Klövensteen and let it become a large forest. Until now, this forest is still called Staatsforst Klövensteen ("Klövensteen state forest"). In the 19th century, the locally well-known shipowner Johan Cesar V. Godeffroy purchased a significant portion of the area and dedicated it to become his personal hunting grounds.

In 1927, Rissen became a part of the city of Altona which was then a separate, independent city. In 1938, Altona was incorporated into the city of Hamburg by law through the enactment of the Greater Hamburg Act. As a result, Rissen also became a part of Hamburg.

Geography
In 2006 according to the statistical office of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, Rissen has a total area of 16.6 km2. It shares borders with the Schleswig-Holstein towns of Wedel, Pinneberg, and Schenefeld in the west, north, and northeast, respectively, and with Hamburg's quarters Sülldorf and Blankenese in the east. To the south, the river Elbe forms a natural border. South of the river lies the German federal state of Lower Saxony. Rissen is situated on the right bank of the river.

From south to the north, Rissen is about three times as long as from the west to the east.

In the north of Rissen lies a large forested area, the so-called Klövensteen which is a popular place for recreational activities like walking, jogging, riding, etc.

Demographics
In 2007, 14,440 people were living in Rissen. The population density was 864 people per km2. 16.6% were children under the age of 18, and 29.2% were 65 years of age or older. 6% were immigrants. 220 people were registered as unemployed. In 1999 there were 7,185 households, out of which 18.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them and 42.1% of all households were made up of individuals. The average household size was 2.05.

Population by year

Education
There were 2 elementary schools and 2 secondary schools in the quarter Rissen.

Infrastructure
The Honorary Consulate of Haiti established in Hamburg 1951 is located at Tinsdaler Kirchenweg 275a.

Health Care
The Asklepios Westklinikum Hamburg is a general hospital with 452 beds in Rissen. The hospital was former a red cross and freemasonry hospital. The hospital has 9 departments, including among others internal medicine, surgery, urology, anaesthetics and intensive care and ambulant surgery. The hospital has also 78 day care spots for psychiatric patients.

23 physicians in private practice, 5 pharmacies and 8 day care centers for children were registered in 2006.

Transportation
Rissen station is serviced by the rapid transit system of the S-Bahn (Line S1) between Wedel and Poppenbüttel and since 2008 has also had service to Hamburg Airport. According to the Department of Motor Vehicles (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt), in Rissen were 6,689 private cars registered (465 cars/1000 people).

Recreation
Rissen is home to Hamburger Golf-Club (HGC) Falkenstein. HGC is a private club founded in 1906 and located at In de Bargen 59. The current clubhouse was constructed from 1930 to 1931. It is a par 71, championship course at 5,387 meters. In 2006 HGC/Falkenstein made the list of top 100 golf courses in the world.

Cilacap Regency

Cilacap Regency (ꦏꦨꦸꦥꦠꦺꦤ꧀ꦕꦶꦭꦕꦥ꧀, also spelt: Chilachap, old spelling: Tjilatjap, Sundanese: ) is a regency (kabupaten) in the southwestern part of Central Java province in Indonesia. Its capital is the town of Cilacap.

Cilacap Regency covers an area of 2,249.28 km2 (including the 115-km2 Nusakambangan Island off the south coast), and it had a population of 1,642,107 at the 2010 Census and 1,944,857 at the 2020 Census; the official estimate as at mid-2023 was 2,007,829 (comprising 1,011,586 males and 996,243 females). The languages used in Cilacap are Javanese and Sundanese, but most people can speak Indonesian. The dialect used is Banyumasan.

There are schools of all levels in Cilacap and several higher-learning institutions. Several academies exist, such as Akademi Maritim Nusantara (National Maritime Academy). A polytechnic, Politeknik Cilacap, was established in 2008 and offers Engineering, Electronics and Informatics education.

Administrative Districts
Cilacap Regency comprises twenty-four districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census and the 2020 Census, together with the official estimates as at mid 2023. The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of administrative villages in each district (comprising 269 rural desa and 15 urban kelurahan - the latter all in the 3 Cilacap town districts), and its postcode. The three districts comprising Cilacap town formerly formed an Autonomous city but have now been subsumed back into the regency.

Notes: (a) except the desa of Cigintung (which has a post code of 53222) and the desa of Limbangan (which has a post code of 53232). (b) includes the population but excludes the area (115 km2) of the offshore island of Pulau Nusakambangan. (c) consists of the 5 kelurahan of Cilacap, Sidakaya, Tambakreja, Tegalkamulyan and Tegalreja. (d) consists of the 5 kelurahan of Donan, Gunungsimping, Kutawaru, Lomanis and Sidanegara. (e) consists of the 5 kelurahan of Gumilir, Karangtalun, Kebonmanis, Mertasinga and Tritih Kulon.

Cilacap Town
The town of Cilacap is also a sea port on the southern coast of the island of Java. The port is one of only a few that exist on the southern coast that can service shipping of reasonable tonnage. The nearest safe anchorage east is Pacitan. The city's harbor is protected by Nusakambangan, an island best known as the site of several high-security correctional facilities although there are also hopes that the island can be developed as a tourist hub. Nusakambangan sheltered Cilacap from the worst of the 2004 tsunami. Nevertheless, the disaster took 147 lives, devastated beaches, damaged 435 fishing boats and inflicted material losses amounting to about Rp 86 billion (around $9 million).

During World War II Cilacap was an important departure point for people fleeing the Japanese invasion, especially Dutch colonists. Many left the Dutch East Indies by boat or seaplane, the majority heading for Broome in Western Australia.

The port is a hub for national or international trade. The town's Tunggul Wulung Airport provides scheduled airline services to Jakarta and Semarang.

Cilacap is the site of many industrial plants, a geothermal power plant, a cement plant (Holcim Indonesia), and one of Pertamina (Indonesia's national petroleum company) processing units in Indonesia. The site has the largest production capacity, producing the most diverse kinds of products among other Pertamina units.

The town of Cilacap offers several tourist attractions highlighting Banyumasan culture. The town has a number of beaches, two of the most popular being Teluk Penyu (close to the center of town), but these are somewhat fouled from leakage of the shipping vessels docked adjacent to this and Widara Payung. Nearby the Teluk Penyu beach is also an old Dutch fortress called Benteng Pendem. This fortress was built in stages during 1861-1879 by the Dutch East Indies Army.

Segara Anakan Bay
In early 2012 Segara Anakan Bay's area is only 600 hectares, reduced from 700 hectares in 2005 after dredging. Heavy sedimentation from the Citanduy River (which is located on the border of Ciamis Regency and Cilacap Regency) caused it. To overcome the sedimentation in Segara Anakan Bay, Ciamis Regency has agreed, if a new canal from Citanduy River pass their area and exit in Nusawiru near Pangandaran Beach.

Climate
Cilacap has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round. The following climate data is for the town of Cilacap.

Slow Motion (Juvenile song)

"Slow Motion" is a song by American rapper Juvenile featuring American rapper Soulja Slim. It was released as a single on March 1, 2004 and is Juvenile's and Soulja Slim's only number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song is an original production by Dani Kartel. It held the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks from August 7, 2004, and was the first number one for both Juvenile and Soulja Slim. It was the seventh song to reach number 1 posthumously for a credited artist since "Mo Money Mo Problems" by The Notorious B.I.G. in 1997, and was also the first number 1 hit for Cash Money Records.

Background and content
Although not planned as a tribute, it came out as one of the more popular posthumous songs because of Soulja Slim's sudden death in November 2003, before the recording process was released (though the beat and lyrics had already been recorded by Soulja).

The "slow motion" of the title is the movement of a woman's body, with the lyrics proclaiming: "Uh, I like it like that / She working that back; I don't know how to act / Slow motion for me, slow motion for me / Slow motion for me; move it slow motion for me".

According to Billboard, the song is about sex.

Music video
In the video, everyone wears black T-shirts with R.I.P. Soulja Slim in white text on the front and back. There are also people holding Thou shall not kill paperboard signs.

Al-Khurasani al-Shirazi

Muhammad Hussayn ibn Muhammad Hadi al-‘Aqili al-‘Alavi al-Khurasani al-Shirazi was a Persian physician from the 18th century from Shiraz.

Muhammad Husayn ibn Muhammad Hadi, known as Hakim Muhammad Hadikhan, is mostly known for two Persian compendia on simple and compound remedies: Majma‘ al-javami‘ va-zakha'ir al-tarakib, which he composed in 1771 and based largely upon a treatise titled Jami‘ al-javami‘ by his great-uncle Alavi Shirazi, and the Makhzan al-adviyah which is a verbatim reproduction of the alphabetical pharmacopeia in the Jami‘ al-javami‘ of his great uncle.

Muhammad Hadikhan also composed a number of smaller medical treatises, among them a treatise on smallpox.

This is not a form of advertising it is valid information

Cutting to bare bones
This article was created as advertising, and I'm suspicious of practically all the content. To counter this advertising bias I shall cut the article down to almost nothing; please don't add anything unless it's both notable and verifiable. — ciphergoth 12:10, 18 September 2005 (UTC) I wish to indicate that I have been looking for information concerning Asian universities but there doesn't seem to be much. This tells me that they are not very keen on foreign students or that they just have not developed electronically. Please update your websites, if any. On matters concerning subjects offered, hostels availability, fee structure, opening dates, geographical location etc. Disappointed student.

advert Removed

Ivan Skoropadsky

Ivan Skoropadsky (Іван Скоропадський; Iwan Skoropadski; 1646 – 3 July 1722) was a Cossack Hetman of the Zaporizhian Host from 1708 to 1722, and the successor to the Hetman Ivan Mazepa.

Biography
Born into a noble Cossack family in Uman, Podolia, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1646, Skoropadsky was educated in Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. In 1675 he joined Cossack military service under Hetman Ivan Samoylovych and distinguished himself in Russo-Turkish War of 1676–1681 and once again in the Crimean expedition against the Ottoman Empire and Crimean Khanate in 1688.

Ivan Skoropadsky was briefly an ambassador representing Cossack Hetmanate in negotiations with the Russian Tsar Peter the Great. During the Great Northern War Skoropadsky was a Cossack colonel of the Ukrainian Starodub regiment and after Swedish army crossed into Ukraine in 1708, refused to join Ivan Mazepa who decided to switch sides and fight against Russia. Only about 3,000 Cossacks, mostly Zaporozhians, followed Mazepa, while others remained loyal to the Tsar. With Mazepa deposed, Ivan Skoropadsky was elected as new Hetman on 11 November 1708. The fear of other reprisals and suspicion of Mazepa's newfound Swedish ally Charles XII prevented most of Ukraine's population from siding with the rebels.

Ivan Skoropadsky moved the capital of the Cossack Hetmanate from Baturyn which was razed by the Russian army for Mazepa's rebellion, to the town of Hlukhiv. Following Mazepa's defeat in the Battle of Poltava, Skoropadsky thought to regain Peter I's trust and yet negotiate greater autonomy for the Hetmanate and greater rights for the Cossack nobility, often resisting Peter the Great's policy of incorporation of the Hetmanate lands into the Russian Empire. His careful negotiations allowed him to achieve both, and the Hetmanate regained much of its lost prominence.

In 1718 his daughter married Count Pyotr Pyotrovich Tolstoy, the son of Pyotr Andreyevich Tolstoy (a prominent Russian statesman) and Ivan Skoropadsky was granted numerous estates in Ukraine becoming its largest land-owner. The Hetman had no male children but Pavlo Skoropadsky, a descendant of his brother, briefly ruled Ukraine 200 years later, and also carried the title of Hetman in his Hetmanate-influenced government.
