The Arabian Gulf is the warmest sea in the world and is host to a globally significant population of the whale shark Rhincodon typus. To investigate regional whale shark behaviour and movements, 59 satellite-linked tags were deployed on whale sharks in the Al Shaheen area off Qatar from 2011-14. Four different models of tag were used throughout the study, each model able to collect differing da...

a controversy among the muslim philosophers about the domain of the extensions was that is the subject of the verity-propositions contained the impossible extensions or only all of the actual and possible ones. from ibn-sina to al-khunaji, there are explicit texts to the former view; but later logicians, starting with athir al-din al-abhari, were inclined to the latter. in this paper, we attamp...

[1] We use measurements of ocean surface dissolved Al, a global Biogeochemical Elemental Cycling (BEC) ocean model, and the global Dust Entrainment and Deposition (DEAD) model to constrain dust deposition to the oceans. Our Al database contains all available measurements with best coverage in the Atlantic. Vertical profiles and seasonal data exist in limited regions. Observations show that surf...

Some interesting properties of dislocated quasi-metric are obtained. Using these properties some fixed point theorems for contractions and Kannan mappings are derived dropping continuity condition imposed by F. M. Zeyada et al (The Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, Volume 31, Number 1A, (2005), 111–114), C. T. Aage and J. N. Salunke (Applied Mathematical Sciences, Vol. 2,59 (2008) 29...

A t e r t h e c o m i n g o f P r o p h e t Muhammad, the Arabian tribes, in a great burst of expansionist energy, swept over Western Asia and North Africa. They disrupted, but did not destroy the Eastern Roman Empire, which had survived the barbarian onslaughts that had wiped out the empire in the West. The Eastern Empire, particularly after the Arabian conquests, came to be known as Byzantine...

Quantified balanced and restored crustal cross-sections across the NW Zagros Mountains are presented in this work integrating geological and geophysical local and global datasets. The balanced crustal cross-section reproduces the surficial folding and thrusting of the thick cover succession, including the near top of the Sarvak Formation (∼ 90 Ma) that forms the top of the restored crustal cros...

among the sources on tasawwuf, the works of ibn al-‘arabi especially hold femininity in high regard. the present study is to illustrate that beyond the transcendental view of ibn al-‘arabi to woman, there are some prominent traces of binary oppositions that, according to hélèn cixous, culminate in different reactions to feminine and masculine roles and ultimately lead to the appearance of patri...

Northwest of Syria is part of one of the very active deformation belt on the Earth today. This area and the western part of Syria are located along the great rift system (Left-Lateral or AfricanSyrian Rift System). Those areas are tectonically active and caused a lot of seismically events. The AL-Ghab Graben complex is situated within this wide area of Cenozoic deformation. The system formed, i...
