I describe here a nascent ‘Islamic feminist’ movement in India, dedicated to the goal of achieving gender equity under Muslim Personal Law. In justifying their demands, these women activists refer neither to the Indian ...

In this article we take up the calculation of the minimum number of colors needed to produce a non-trivial coloring of a knot. This is a knot invariant and we use the torus knots of type (2, n) as our case study. We ...

In this work we extend our earlier analysis of the novel Josephson effect in triplet superconductor-ferromagnet-triplet superconductor (TFT) junctions [Kastening et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 047009 (2006)]. In our more ...

In relativistic heavy-ion collisions, anisotropic collective flow is driven, event by event, by the initial eccentricity of the matter created in the nuclear overlap zone. Interpretation of the anisotropic flow data thus ...

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements at the Ni K edge of PrNiO3 across the metal insulator transition show that a change in the local lattice structure accompanies such transition. Theoretical calculations ...

Chinese television has gone through tremendous growth and change recently. The new media environment has the potential to reshape patterns of television consumption and, in turn, affect the democratic development of Chinese ...

We use kappa-free but not Whitehead Abelian groups to construct Abstract Elementary Classes (AEC) which satisfy the amalgamation property but fail various conditions on the locality of Galois-types. We introduce the notion ...

Surfactants have their primary utility, both scientific and industrial, at the liquid-liquid interface. We review recent X-ray surface scattering experiments that probe the molecular ordering and phase behavior of surfactants ...

High-resolution solid-state NMR (SSNMR) of paramagnetic systems has been largely unexplored because of various technical difficulties due to large hyperfine shifts, which have limited the success of previous studies through ...
