From the Grammatical Views of Abdel-Jabbar Fathi Zaidan

The research looks at a great Mosulian grammarian's ideas in one of his grammar books, Min Mazaaim Al Nuhaat, and makes comments on them because of their innovation and acceptance in the grammar lesson as our opinion disagrees with the majority of grammarians on an issue or agrees with one of them on a new point of view for him on a grammatical issue. We have come across many of his good opinions that rely on meaning in syntax; Without the verbal rules upon which the ancient grammarians built most of their syntax.

Quantification of the spatial-temporal patterns of great ideas.

Quantitative understanding of the process of knowledge creation is crucial for accelerating the advance of science. Recent years have witnessed a great effort to address this issue by studying the publication data of scientific journals, leading to a variety of surprising discoveries at both individual level and disciplinary level. However, before scientific journals appeared on a large scale and became the mainstream for publishing research results, there are also intellectual achievements that have changed the world, which have usually become classic and are now referred to as the great ideas of great people. So far, little is known about the general law of their birth. In this paper, we reference Wikipedia and academic history books to collect 2001 magnum opuses as representations of great ideas, covering nine disciplines. Using the year and place of publication of these magnum opuses, we show that the birth of great ideas is very concentrated in geography, and more concentrated than other human activities such as contemporary knowledge production. We construct a spatial-temporal bipartite network to study the similarity of output structures between different historical periods and discover the existence of a Great Transformation around the 1870s, which may be associated with the rise of the US in academia. Finally, we re-rank cities and historical periods by employing an iterative approach to study cities' leadership and historical periods' prosperity.

Solvent-conditioned Ni-MOF-derived flower-like porous carbon composites for electromagnetic wave absorption

Porous and layered structures can enhance interfacial polarization, and hierarchical porous composites have high dielectric loss, which can improve electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance, but challenges remain. In this paper, flower-like Ni/C nanocomposites with different morphologies were obtained by adjusting the amount of solvent and heat treatment after the Ar atmosphere. The results show that Ni metals lead to magnetic loss and carbon nanotubes lead to conduction loss, and electromagnetic synergy promote enhance interfacial polarization. Moreover, the large specific surface area and hierarchical porous increase the propagation path of electromagnetic waves, resulting in scattering and multiple reflection of the EMW. Therefore, a minimum reflection loss of − 42.8 dB corresponding to an absorption bandwidth of 5.7 GHz was achieved for the Ni/C nanocomposites. This work shows that the MOF-based Ni/C composites can provide a great idea for the design and manufacture of wave-absorbing materials.

The Fastest Tortoise in Town by Howard Calvert

Reviewed by: The Fastest Tortoise in Town by Howard Calvert Kate Quealy-Gainer, Editor Calvert, Howard The Fastest Tortoise in Town; illus. by Karen Obuhanych. Candlewick, 2023 [32p] Trade ed. ISBN 9781536228359 $18.99 Reviewed from digital galleys R* 4-7 yrs Barbara Hendricks, a regular leopard tortoise, has entered a running race. She knows it’s not a great idea and she’s ready to back out, but her owner Lorraine believes in her and Barbara is willing to give it a go. Lorraine sets up a fitness routine, which basically consists of a daily walk, but Barbara sees no progress, outpaced by a worm, a toddler, an old man, and a racecar dinosaur. The day of the race arrives, and Barbara reluctantly goes, only to be horrified by her competition: a slug, a snail, a slow loris, a sloth, and a walrus—“the best of the best,” the fastest animals Barbara has ever seen. Will Barbara be able to keep up and maybe even win the fun run trophy? The race result might not matter for young listeners as they’ll likely be rolling with giggles at the sight of the grimly determined racers slowly—slowly—making their way across several pages of panels, each meeting their own challenge until the tortoise takes first place. The richly textured mixed-media art is vibrant, balancing bright pops of color in the foreground with more subtle hues in the setting, and bespectacled, slightly disheveled Lorraine makes a wonderfully expressive counterpoint to dour, clearly anxious Barbara. The try-your-best message is a familiar one, but it has an irreverent freshness here, especially in the closing pages as a triumphant Barbara sets to race a hare, giving viewers a chance to wonder if her newfound confidence will help her take on faster competition.

In Search Of Regional Theory Of Urdu Criticism

Regarding Urdu criticism, this objection has been circulating a lot that the critics have used only Western theories instead of paying attention to the creation of a local theory , due to which local literature could not be properly understood. This objection is not correct. With the beginning of criticism in Urdu, there has been a tendency to examine and theorize literature in the local cultural tradition. The services of a few critics will always be remembered in giving a regular theoretical orientation to literature. These few literary ideas will be highlighted in this article. They are no less great ideas in the Urdu Literary tradition.

Inaugural Editorial

It gives me great pleasure to write an editorial note for the first edition of the new journal of Artificial Intelligence and Applications (AIA). Before I begin, I would like to thank our Managing Editor, Mrs. Yu Zhang of Bon View Publishing, Singapore for approaching me with a great idea of launching a new journal under my leadership in the field of computer science. Therefore, I am honored and fortunate to be part of AIA and take responsibility as Editor-in-Chief. Since it is the first joint venture for us, initially, we struggled and worked hard to find innovative ways to reach potential authors such that AIA can receive quality papers across the globe. As a result, in a short period, AIA has attracted many quality submissions from different countries including developing and developed countries. Since the journal scope is AI related research, we encouraged the authors to emphasize emerging areas of artificial intelligence, such as image processing, security, augmented reality, data mining, machine learning, distributed computing and big data analysis, etc. The first issue includes high quality papers submitted from different countries in the areas mentioned above. However, in AIA, the acceptance rate is only 24%. We are determined to bring you a highly respected journal by setting our standard from the very first issue. We are happy to release the first issue in January 2023. For this achievement, we should thank our team led by Mrs. Yu Zhang, Ms. Phoebe, Ms. Lantian, Ms. Ruifang Zhang for their efforts, time, hard work and significant contributions. Today, we see the success because of their support and effort. To take any journal to a high level/standard in terms of quality papers according to the rules stipulated by the web of science, Scopus, the role of the International Advisors, Associate Editors, Editorial board members, Reviewers and Editorial staff of the journal is vital. In order to maintain the standards of AIA, we introduced desk reject by providing sufficient technical comments, which helped authors to improve the quality of their work. There were a number of challenges, including issues pertaining to reviews, such as delays in receiving review reports, poor reviews, finding relevant experts for reviewing and sufficient number of reviews. However, with the help of the tips provided by the members of the advisory board, our editorial office managed effectively in communicating with the authors, reviewers and Editor-in-Chief without any problems. What is very important for the journal is popularity, so it should reach as many potential readers as possible to achieve a global scientific exposure and impact. To achieve such goals, we need to explore new ways of dissemination and reaching authors, as well as readers. At the same time, our journal should find new ways to receive more quality papers on intra-and-inter-disciplinary areas. We believe if the topic is interesting and has scope for the future, it will show great motivation on submission and a loyal readership. I am fortunate to be part of a highly effective team led by Yu Zhang in the editorial office who is instrumental to achieving our targets. The current group of Associate Editors work incredibly well to assess paper quality and to maintain standards. The papers published by Bon View Publishing focus on special domains and publish our papers in time. In addition, our journal has good support from members of the international advisory board, which comprises pioneers in different areas of artificial intelligence. They serve like ambassadors for our journal. Last but not the least, I should thank all our contributors who chose our journal to publish their work. Furthermore, there were many authors that were disappointed due to rejection, but they should be happy with their achievements and the editorial board comments to improve their work.

All for One and One (Space) for All!

Global equity is the common pursuit of most people all over the world. Although fairness is not absolute, we should try our best to achieve global fairness in resource allocation and opportunity supply. But it’s hard to make the distribution of the resources and development opportunities fair enough with the limited resources on the earth. With the depletion of the earth's resources, more and more people realize that the earth's resources are not enough for people to use permanently, so scientists have created a great idea of asteroid mining. With the limitation of technology and the economy, there is still a long way to go. After solving the problems above, it’s still hard to achieve global equity while allocating mineral resources. Aiming at rationalizing the allocation of resources mined on the asteroids, we try to establish a global equity model. At the same time, we will also study the feasibility and vision of asteroid mining. The impact of variability and volatility factors on the model will be analyzed.

"And Then What?"

"And Then What?" Alexandra Marshall (bio) In my letter to philip dated november 3, 1998, i wrote: I Married A Communist is a wonderful answer to the public assault, and a wonderful novel. As if your goal were to teach readers about the very and entire thing fiction exists to do, your novel shows what it would have felt like to have had a different but not-so-different experience from the one you actually had. So for the reader it's a freedom from whatever the his-and-hers discrepant set of "facts" might have been, and, much better, a brilliant experience of the absolute fictional truth. It's a pleasure to imagine what must have been your utter joy when you discovered this way to write your reply: a truly great idea, given that you had to come up with something, and would have been forgiven for coming up with far less. In Philip's immediate reply, he wrote: What a wonderful letter to get from you. I've read it more than once now. You say a lot of things I've been dying to hear. _______ I met Philip in 1970, in the months following the publication of Portnoy's Complaint, when it was widely (and wildly) assumed that Philip was Portnoy. In Reading Myself and Others, his collection of essays published in 1975, Philip answered the question he posed to himself—"Why was Portnoy's Complaint at once such a hit and such a scandal?"—"To begin, a novel in the guise of a confession was received and judged by any number of readers as a confession in the guise of a novel" (Reading 218). As scholars of Roth know better than I do, critics have not resisted the temptation to merge his biography with his fiction, nor to judge both his novels and his life on that false premise. He wrote in Shop Talk: A Writer and His Colleagues and Their [End Page 130] Work, "My overnight notoriety as a sexual freak had become difficult to evade in Manhattan, and so I decided to clear out—first to Yaddo, the upstate artists' colony, and then, beginning in the spring of 1969, for that small rented house tucked out of sight midway up a hillside meadow a couple of miles from Woodstock's main street" (Shop 132). That small, rented house was named "Broadview," and it was there that I met Philip. His companion was Barbara Sproul, who invited me to borrow her cabin named "Wake Robin" in the Byrdcliffe Arts and Crafts Colony just across the valley. I was being taken into their home—like a rescue pet, as it felt at the time—because, since childhood, Barbara had been a close friend of my 28-year-old husband, Tim, who had just died, having cut his own throat. In being incorporated into the peacefully steady and loving routine of her daily life with Philip, I was given the precious gift of Barbara's consoling wisdom about suicide, and the equally treasured gift of Philip's own example. In our day-after-day routines that first summer and fall, during those Woodstock mornings in Barbara's "Wake Robin" cabin, I devoured the four books that Philip had published by that time, and started in on the reading list of American classics that Philip compiled to compensate for what he considered my inadequate education—I was a French Lit major—in the literature of my own language. Later, on their couch, on my own, I would discover Virginia Woolf, whom I would read straight through and later follow as a mentor once I too had been claimed by the writing vocation. But in those earliest months, when an afternoon walk to talk about books was the day's reward, Philip was my teacher. Barbara was then completing doctoral work in Comparative Religion and International Relations—her published scholarly work to be called Primal Myths: Creating the World—and was soon to join the faculty at Hunter College, where she led its Program in Religion for the next fifty years. On those Woodstock afternoons, Barbara's Pentax camera recorded the beauty of the natural world...

THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC REVIEW AND THE NIH INSTITUTE

Abstract The playing field for NIH funding is highly competitive, and having a great idea is only the start of the process. There are many funding mechanisms for early career investigators, trainees, and research institutions. Understanding about different application types, who to talk to about your application at different stages of development, finding the right review panel, and learning about the policies and procedures pertaining to review are important first steps in preparing an application. In recent years, the Center for Scientific Review has undergone changes and updated its structure, policies and practices to stay aligned with its mission. In this presentation, attendees will learn about the roles played by CSR and the NIH Institute as applications move from review to funding.
