analysis and the continued success of the moderate islamic discourse on other discourses in turkey in a social environment that nearlya century in the western orientation and secular changes in the basis of social, political and cultural, is the central issue to the most article. this article goes beyond the ideological debates, in the analysis of this fundamental change in this country as a lo...

Turkish biologists have much to be worried about: the drift to Islamism is creeping ahead in the perception of many academics so the enthusiastic welcome for an American evolutionary biologist earlier this year provided a welcome fillip for university staff. Turkey represents a unique state: formed from the remnants of the centuries-old Ottoman empire in 1923, it was headed by Mustafa Kemal Ata...

Religious method of treatment dominated treatments of psychiatric patients until the start of twentieth century. After psychiatry was recognized as a distinct medical discipline, in nineteenth century, it begun to shift away from religious approach to the treatment of mentally ill persons. During the twentieth century, it was enriched using psychotherapy, socio-therapy and biological methods o...

A numerically efficient Fredholm formulation of the billiard problem is presented. The standard solution in the framework of the boundary integral method in terms of a search for roots of a secular determinant is reviewed first. We next reformulate the singularity condition in terms of a flow in the space of an auxiliary oneparameter family of eigenproblems and argue that the eigenvalues and ei...

Secularisation theory proposed that the modernisation of society would bring about a decline in religiosity across West, leading to ‘entzauberung’ (disenchantment). Eventually, be devoid belief transcendent. Some theorists have challenged this by suggesting (with some qualifying factors) enchantment better describes secular age we occupy. Charles Taylor suggests can perceive through human relat...

The conservative dephasing effects of gravitational self forces for extreme mass-ratio inspirals are studied. Both secular and non-secular conservative effects may have a significant effect on LISA waveforms that is independent of the mass ratio of the system. Such effects need to be included in generated waveforms to allow for accurate gravitational wave astronomy that requires integration tim...

The discovery of the chaotic behavior of the planetary orbits in the Solar System (Laskar, 1989, 1990) was obtained using numerical integration of averaged equations. In (Laskar, 1994), these same equations are integrated over several Gyr and show the evidence of very large possible increase of the eccentricity of Mercury through chaotic diffusion. On the other hand, in the direct numerical int...
