A Comparative Analysis of the Islamic State and the Muslim State through Historical Developments by Masoud Akhavan Kazemi

“…However, the existence and continuity of states with Islamic titles or appearances in the geography of the Islamic world and throughout the history of Islamic societies have never meant that these states are real and complete examples of “State in Islam”. Therefore, it has always been felt that Muslim states throughout history, as a matter of fact, should be compared with the state in Islam, as a truth, to be compared to the extent to which these states have adapted or deviated from the Islamic standard state. …”

On the overall accuracy of the Modified Wöhler Curve Method in estimating high-cycle multiaxial fatigue strength by Luca Susmel

“…In more detail, the MWCM, which is a bi-parametrical critical plane approach, postulates that initiation and Stage I propagation of fatigue cracks occur on those material planes experiencing the maximum shear stress amplitude (this being assumed to be always trueindependently from the degree of multiaxiality of the applied loading path). …”

Key technologies of deep space TT＆C and telecommunication for Mars exploration by Wenfeng MA, Cong WANG, Hui TIAN, Yi ZHU, Qiong YU, Hanyi SHI

“…The implementation of China's deep space telemetry, track and command (TT＆amp;C) system has always revolved around the three-step strategy of the lunar exploration project, including “circling”, “falling” and “returning”, which helps us to make great achievements from the breakthrough of key technologies, the initial construction of the system to the optimization of the system.At present, the success of Mars exploration will further promote our ability of deep space TT＆amp;C system construction.In terms of the view of the key technologies of deep space response and the ground station system construction, the development process of China's deep space TT＆amp;C system from scratch was reviewed, and the key technologies of Mars deep space TT＆amp;C system were summarized.At the same time, in view of the advantages of the United States in planetary exploration, the deep space response technology of the “Perseverance” rover was analyzed and summarized, which can provide reference for the future development of Mars exploration in China.Furthermore, considering the construction of the US deep space station and the current rapidly growing demand for future deep space exploration missions, the system structure, overall performance, key system design issues and contributions of these Chinese deep space stations were briefly reviewed.…”
