This Hadith, sayings or actions of the prophet Muhammad (MPBUH)l, indicates that there is no preference based on sex in getting access to education in Islam; however, there is a growing misconception among the people of other religions that Islam constrains Muslim girls from getting education. This paper reviews literature and two authentic sources of Islamic scriptures, which are the Holy Qura'an and the Ahadith to position the girls' education in purview of Islam. It further examines the possible reasons for conflicting interpretations of Islamic teachings. It concludes that Islam does not restrict girls from getting education. It recommends further systematic studies for exploring the reasons for the projection of distorted images of Islam.展开更多

It is shown that increasing the model free parameter α, shock Mach number, and the initial density discontinuity makes the mix length and fraction of mixing particle increase, resulting in the lower shock temperatures compared with the results of single-fluid model without mixing. Recent high-compressibility direct-drive spherical implosions on OMEGA are simulated by the interpenetration mix modal. The calculations with atomic mixing between fuel and shell match quite well with the observations. Without considering any mixing, the calculated neutron yields and ion temperatures are overpredicted; while inclusion of the interpenetration mix model with the adjustable parameter α could fit the simulated neutron yields and ion temperatures well with experimental data.展开更多

While conditions to get the two-dimensional arrays of stable Fe(TCNB)4 complexes are clearly identified, ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) coupled with first-principles calculations reveals that situations may occur where Fe and TCNB survive on the surface (as Fe-4TCNB entities) at a higher density than the original molecular monolayer without forming coordination bonds with each other. It is found that the square planar coordination of the Fe(TCNB)4 monomer complexes cannot fully develop in the presence of lateral strain due to growth-induced confinement. A phenomenon similar to steric hindrance involving a strongly modified chirality with a Fe-N-C bond angle of 120° compared to the 180° for the stable complex may then explain why the Fe atom keeps its metallic bond with the surface. The competition between steric and electronic effects, not reported before, may arise elsewhere in surface chemistry involved in the synthesis of new and potentially useful organic nanomaterials.展开更多

In...Addressing concerns about mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while maintaining high grain yield requires improved management practices that achieve sustainable intensification of cereal production systems. In the North China Plain, a field experiment was conducted to measure nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) fluxes during the maize (Zea mays L.) season under various agricultural management regimes including conventional treatment (CONT) with high N fertilizer application at a rate of 300 kg N ha-1 and overuse of groundwater by flood irrigation, optimal fertilization 1 treatment (OPTIT), optimal fertilization 2 treatment (OPT2T), and controlled-release urea treatment (CRUT) with reduced N fertilizer application and irrigation, and a control (CK) with no N fertilizer. In contrast to CONT, balanced N fertilization treatments (OPT1T, OPT2T, and CRUT) and CK demonstrated a significant drop in cumulative N20 emission (1.70 v.s. 0.43-1.07 kg N ha-l), indicating that balanced N fertilization substantially reduced N20 emission. The vMues of the N20 emission factor were 0.42%, 0.29%, 0.32%, and 0.27% for CONT, OPTIT, OPT2T, and CRUT, respectively. Global warming potentials, which were predominantly determined by N20 emission, were estimated to be 188 kg CO2-eq ha-1 for CK and 419-765 kg CO2-eq ha-1 for the N fertilization treatments. Global warming potential intensity calculated by considering maize yield was significantly lower for OPT1T, OPT2T, CRUT, and CK than for CONT. Therefore, OPTIT, OPT2T, and CRUT were recommended as promising management practices for sustaining maize yield and reducing GHG emissions in the North China Plain.展开更多

The growth was initiated on (111) facets of the Si, which had been prepared by anisotropy etching in a KOH solution. A uni- form semi-polar layer was achieved by coalescence of stripes. Since the growth was performed on facets, the surface was atomically fiat in AFM surface analyses. By using a high temperature grown A1N nucleation layer, we achieved low threading dislocation density at the top most surface. Moreover, by tilting the c-axis of the GaN on the Si substrate, the effect of the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch was much reduced. As the result, we achieved a crack free (1-101)GaN template on (001)Si. On the thus prepared (1-101)GaN, a GalnN/GaN LED was fabricated, which showed excellent performance with weak quantum confined Stark effect.展开更多
