Religions as a "Life Fact": Al-Faruqi's impact on the International Islamic University Malaysia by Mohamed Zein, Ibrahim

“…The program was influenced by the thought and curricula developed along Faruqian lines. It is a program that delves into Faruqi's view of meta-religion rooted in an ethical paradigm giving it universal perspective and approach toward the study of IIUM and the religion study curriculum implemeted at IIUM is a development of Faruqi's earlier vision regarding the teaching of Islam as a civilization and worldview, which he had envisioned and hoped to apply to the academic program at the Central Instiute of Islamic Research,Karachi, Pakistan during his professorship there in 1960s, but which was not realized.…”

Experimental investigation and simulation of catalytic converter performance by Mohiuddin, A. K. M., Nurhafez, Muhammed

“…The purpose of this paper is to present the results of an experimental study of the performance and conversion efficiencies of ceramic monolith three-way catalytic converters (TWCC) employed in automotive exhaust lines for the reduction of gasoline emissions. Two ceramic converters of different cell density, substrate length, hydraulic channel diameter and wall thickness were studied to investigate the effect of varying key parameters on conversion efficiencies and pressure drop. …”

Immigration, politics and violence in urban France: between fiction and facts by Recchia, Francesca

“…Semi-fictional accounts of immigrants’ life in the banlieues are a privileged source of information about the social distress that nurtured the explosion of urban violence. Reading between the lines of these representations helps grasping what happens underneath the surface of an overexposed situation of inequality that periodically morphs into violence. …”
