  • RABBINIC KNOWLEDGE of BLACK AFRICA (Sifre Deut. 320)
    1 [The following essay was published in the Jewish Studies Quarterly 5 (1998) 318-28. The essay appears here substantially as published but with some additions indicated in this color .]. RABBINIC KNOWLEDGE OF BLACK AFRICA (Sifre Deut. 320) David M. Goldenberg While the biblical corpus contains references to the people and practices of black Africa (e.g. Isa 18:1-2), little such information is found in the rabbinic corpus. To a degree this may be due to the different genre of literature represented by the rabbinic texts. Nevertheless, it seems unlikely that black Africa and its peoples would be entirely unknown to the Palestinian Rabbis of the early centuries. An indication of such knowledge is, I believe, found imbedded in a midrashic text of the third century. Deut 32:21 describes the punishment God has decided to inflict on Israel for her disloyalty to him: “I will incense them with a no-folk ( be-lo < >am ); I will vex them with a nation of fools ( be-goy nabal ).” A tannaitic commentary to the verse states: ואני אקניאם בלא עם : אל תהי קורא בלא עם אלא בלוי עם אלו הבאים מתוך האומות ומלכיות ומוציאים אותם מתוך בתיהם דבר אחר אלו הבאים מברבריא וממרטניא ומהלכים ערומים בשוק “And I will incense them with a be-lo < >am .” Do not read bl < >m, but blwy >m, this refers to those who come from among the nations and kingdoms and expel them [the Jews] from their homes. Another interpretation: This refers to those who come from barbaria and mr ãny <, who go about naked in the market place.

The approach is based primarily on data fusion of Landsat ETM+ image, and validated by other ancillary spatial data (e.g. topo- graphic maps, Google images and GPS in situ data). Interpretations of high resolution space images by Google Earth and the large-scale topographic maps (1:25,000), in specific, revealed new micro- forms and some detailed geomorphologic aspects with the aid of GPS measurements.

  • Seismic Hazard Evaluation of Regular and Vertical Irregular R.C. Buildings in EGYPT, for Different Ground Motion Characteristics
    Seismic Hazard Evaluation of Regular and Vertical Irregular R.C. Buildings in EGYPT, for Different Ground Motion Characteristics M. M. ELASSALY Fayoum University, Egypt SUMMARY: The implementation of seismic regulation in the design process of R.C. buildings, in Egypt, is rather a new procedure. The seismic risk awareness started following the destructive earthquake that hit Cairo in 1992. The accumulated experience in the construction field, regarding the structural seismic hazard and the corresponding damage, is rather limited. Accordingly, the existing building stock in Egypt is considered highly vulnerable. The seismic performance of regular and vertical irregular R.C. building are assessed for different earthquakes, having various intensities and frequency contents. The model of the vertical irregular R.C. building, investigated herein, represents the most common type of irregular buildings, employed in Egyptian building environment; this type of buildings is distinguished with its varying first floor height. The seismic hazard evaluation is carried out through exploring damage indices, drift ratios and capacity curves of model buildings. Nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed on 2-dimensional model of R.C. building. Keywords: Seismic hazard - vertical irregularity - ground motion characteristics - damage indices - drift ratios. 1. INTRODUCTION In countries of low to moderate seismic activities such as Egypt, earthquakes are considered infrequent phenomenon. The occurrence of an earthquake may caught the Egyptian people and the governmental authorities unprepared. Prior to the 1992 Cairo earthquake, there were no specific articles, designated for the seismic design of R.C. buildings, in the Egyptian standards. Following that event, the Ministry of Housing, had enforced the implementation of seismic regulation in the design process of R.C.
