Formation of Iranian Studies at the Kazan University (19th–Early 20th Centuries)

Abstract

The article involves the historical and scientific study of the Iranian Cultural Heritage in Russia in the 19th century. It presents the background of the Persian language and literature teaching at Russian universities. Initiators and the ways the Iranian Studies developed at the Kazan University are mentioned. The historical events dealing with political and cultural relations of the peoples of the Volga-Ural region and Iran are summarized. It focuses on a variety of materials, covering the events, the heritage of Orientalists and Iranian scholars and results in the formation of Iranian Studies at the Kazan University in the 19th century. This research will provide valuable information regarding scientific and educational activities of Orientalists of the University, associated with teaching the Persian language, linguistic, literary, historical, ethnographic studies of the history and culture of Iran.

Modeling work of the dispatching service of high-rise building as queuing system

“…The refusal in the hot water supply system is higher than in the cold water supply system. The presence of probabilistic works complicates the maintenance and requires the optimization of the structural scheme of the managing organization on the basis of the theory of mass service [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Optical constants of SrF2 thin films in the 25–780-eV spectral range

“…This may result in that the optical constants of films and bulk crystals of the same compound are largely different, particularly in the transparent region, in which the thin film presents a high loss compared to the crystal, as it has been shown for MgF 2 . 8,9 Furthermore, SrF 2 films have been reported to grow nonuniform in depth (Valeev,10 as cited by Gisin 11 ). El-Shazly and Ebrahim 12 found that SrF 2 films deposited by evaporation on substrates not hotter than 50 C were inhomogeneous in depth and they determined two different refractive indices in the 460-1000-nm spectral range: a lower one for the film layer adjacent to the air and a larger one for the film layer adjacent to the glass substrate.…”
