The Fief of Tibnin Between the Muslims and the Crusaders 1229-1266 / 583-664
Research Paper from the year 2014 in the subject History Europe - Other Countries - Middle Ages, Early Modern Age, grade: 12, University of Gottingen (Faculty of Arts), course: Medieval History, language: English, abstract: This paper is a study of the political and military situation of Tibn n under Muslim rule 1187-1229/ 583- 625 and Latin rule 1229-1266/ 625-664. The first part of this study studies Tibn n under Ayyubid rule 1187-1229/ 583- 625. The German crusade 1197-98 against Tibn n and the impact of the fifth crusade 1218-1221 on Tibn n will be discussed as well. The second part of this paper deals with Tibn n under the Crusader rule of 1229- 1266/ 625- 664. It will examine the issues involving the struggle for Tibn n between the Teutonic Knights and Alice of Tibn n in 1229. Additionally, the military and political role of Tibn n and its rulers will be studied.
Der Niederrheinische Orientbericht, C.1350
First English translation and detailed commentary of a fourteenth-century Low-German work about the Near and Middle East. That extensive travel took place during the Middle Ages has long been established, via such accounts as, for example, Marco Polo's Devisement du Monde; but there remains a relative paucity of documents or narratives confirming and dealing with this phenomenon. Der Niederrheinische Orientbericht ("An Account of the Middle East"), composed around 1350/55 by an anonymous author in Low German, is powerful evidence of international relations between east and west during this period; it provides extensive information, dealing with such matters as the local culture, fauna and fl...
The Making of Medieval Sardinia
This landmark volume combines classic and revisionist essays to explore the historiography of Sardinia’s exceptional transition from an island of the Byzantine empire to the rise of its own autonomous rulers, the iudikes, by the 1000s. In addition to Sardinia’s contacts with the Byzantines, Muslim North Africa and Spain, Lombard Italy, Genoa, Pisa, and the papacy, recent and older evidence is analysed through Latin, Greek and Arabic sources, vernacular charters and cartularies, the testimony of coinage, seals, onomastics and epigraphy as well as the Sardinia’s early medieval churches, arts, architecture and archaeology. The result is an important new critique of state formation at the margins of Byzantium, Islam, and the Latin West with the creation of lasting cultural, political and linguistic frontiers in the western Mediterranean. Contributors are Hervin Fernández-Aceves, Luciano Gallinari, Rossana Martorelli, Attilio Mastino, Alex Metcalfe, Marco Muresu, Michele Orrù, Andrea Pala, Giulio Paulis, Giovanni Strinna, Alberto Virdis, Maurizio Virdis, and Corrado Zedda.
Guidance for the Validation of Analytical Methodology and Calibration of Equipment Used for Testing of Illicit Drugs in Seized Materials and Biological Specimens
The validation of analytical methods and the calibration of equipment are important aspects of quality assurance in the laboratory. This manual deals with both of these within the context of testing of illicit drugs in seized materials and biological specimens. It provides an introduction and practical guidance to national authorities and analysts in the implementation of method validation and verification, and also in the calibration/performance verification of laboratory instrumentation and equipment within their existing internal quality assurance programmes. The procedures described represent a synthesis of the experience of scientists from several reputable laboratories around the world.
Recent Advances in Stored Product Protection
This book aims to assess, evaluate and critically analyze the methods that are currently available for a judicious pest management in durable food. It presents and analyzes a vast amount of methods that are already in use in “real world” industrial applications. After the phase-out of methyl bromide, but also the withdrawal of several insecticides and the continuously updated food safety regulations, there is a significant knowledge gap on the use of risk-reduced, ecologically-compatible control methods that can be used with success against stored-product insect species and related arthropods. The importance of integrated pest management (IPM) is growing, but the concept as practiced for...
Development of a Reference Database for Particle Induced Gamma Ray Emission (PIGE) Spectroscopy
Ion beam analysis techniques are non-destructive analytical techniques used to identify the composition and structure of surface layers of materials. The applications of these techniques span environmental control, cultural heritage and conservation, materials and fusion technologies. The particle-induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) spectroscopy technique in particular, is a powerful tool for detecting light elements in certain depths of surface layers. This publication describes the coordinated effort to measure and compile cross section data relevant to PIGE analysis and make these data available to the community of practice through a comprehensive online database.
