In an earlier paper in Entropy [1] we hypothesized that the entropy generation rate is the driving force for boundary layer transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Subsequently, with our colleagues we have examined the prediction of entropy generation during such transitions [2,3]. We found that reasonable predictions for engineering purposes could be obtained for flows with negligible strea...

the aim of this article is to examine avicenna’s theory of the immortality of human soul. avicenna believes in immortality of the soul and resurrection of the body but he engages in a philosophical investigation about the former not the latter. according to his view, religion has talked of resurrection of the body in detail. the picture he presented of the immortality of the soul, viz spiritual...

the soul in immaterial for descartes, because it’s inherent attribute; i.e. thought is immaterial. moreover, it is independent from body and matter and has no extend. in his view, the soul from the beginning has been immaterial, while mulla-sadra recognizes it as a corporeal object at the beginning, in generation, and immaterial afterward and survivance. mulla-sadra demonstrates that, soul need...

process that is highly dependent on seasonal demand. Traditionally, the full development cycle of a new product occurs at least twice a year on short schedules. In the past decade the revolution of “fast-fashion” has caused retailers to develop products at a frenetic pace. This movement is changing the face of the global apparel industry and placing more pressure on retailers, forcing them to d...

We consider the effects of distributed roughness on the boundary-layer transition over a rotating disk using both theoretical and experimental approaches. The theoretical approach further develops Yoon et al.’s method [Int. J. Heat Fluid Flow, 28, p262 (2007)] for obtaining the steady-flow solutions for a general surface distribution function. Full threedimentional stability analyses are conduc...

Rabindranath Tagore believed that the aim of education is self-realization. He himself was a poet and a saint, who had, through his imagination and insight, realized the universal soul in himself and in nature. He believed that this realization was the goal of education. Because the universal soul is the root of our own soul, man s aim in life is to reach that universal soul of which all human ...

Among the wide-spectrum contribution of the Rambam - the Maimonides - in philosophy to the word and to Judaism are his ideas on the body and on the soul and on the relations between them. His major approaches in these subjects are the following: 1) The body is the home of the soul, and the soul guides the body. That means the body and the soul are one unit. 2) The soul has five virtual parts. E...
