according to the rules of quadruplet relations between concepts, muslim logicians have proved that relation between the negations of two concepts which are equal (musawi) or absolute-general-and-specific (‘amm wa khas-e mutlaq) are, respectively, equal and absolute-specific-and-general; but these rules come across some problems when the most inclusive concepts are involved, since the negation o...

the identity and unity of the divine attributes in mulla sadra’s view is based on the possibility of extraction of multiple concepts from a single aspect of an instance. this possibility is not compatible with the unity of the concept with its referent and is not also compatible with the denotation of concepts. in this article, the unity of god’s essence and attributes is the main assumption be...

A cross-sectional comparative study was carried out to investigate the productive and reproductive performances of different genetic groups of crossbred cows at three different farming conditions in Bangladesh. Crossbred cows (n=90) those already completed third lactations, were selected randomly from three different dairy farms (e.g. Jarip, Mullah and Nahar) located in Chittagong, Bangladesh. ...

this paper aims not to study sadra’s viewpoint on the language of qur’an but aims to offer sadra’s division of and criticisms on the different approaches to the language of qur’an. therefore, this study has been conducted on the negative dimension and has a critical attitude and is not going to study on the positive dimension and to explain sadra’s viewpoint; although recognition of this negati...

The kinetics for NO reduction over supported platinum under lean condition were investigated by firstprinciples-based kinetic Monte Carlo simulation over three-dimensional Pt nanoparticles. Model platinum nanoparticles with diameters ranging from 2.3 to 4.6 nm were constructed using a truncated octahedral cluster consisting of a two (100) facets and eight (111) facets. First-principles density ...
