A study of the associated production of a Z boson and a charm quark jet (Z + c), and a comparison to production with a b quark jet (Z + b), in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV are presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The

This paper addresses the characteristics, technology, and possible future of fingerprints authentication method. Fingerprint physiology makes it an ideal for biometrics authentication, primarily the tiny details located on its surface called minutiae. Fingerprint scanning systems are designed to detect minutiae. Images of detected minutiae are proc

إن القرآن ال كريم هو الهداية الأولى للناس بما حوى من قواعد الحق وضمانات النجاة ،والسنة كسفينة نوح من ركبها نجا ومن تنكب طريقها غرق؛ وهرم الرواية التي حملت السنة يشهد بعظمة الأمة في منهجيتها لص�

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology of the 21st century. It is described as the first real evolution of the Internet that could positively or negatively affect all aspects of life. The basic idea of the IoT revolves around connecting things and objects (persons, animals, cars, trees, etc.) to the Internet and enabling them to com

Fatigue is a subjective feeling of tiredness which has physical or mental implications. Thus, in this study we will prove the robustness and reliability of PPG signals as a fatigue detection mechanism. Undeniably, PPG signals have the superior crite-ria which are non-invasive, small in size, low power consumption as well as low in cost. A total of

Pulse jet impinging laterally on the pin fin surface have a dual effect (increment and decrement) on the heat transfer rate. The present work manifests the decrement observed in heat transfer rate because of pulse jet impinging on uniform and nonuniform dimensional pin fin heat sink compared with the steady jet. In order to justify and scale the de

Introduction: Practice of dispensing Paracetamol (PCM) post infants’ vaccination remains doubtful in Malaysia, thus requiring appropriate regulation measures. Objectives: This research aims to investigate the prevalence of PCM prescribing groups and its associated factors (i.e. gender, age, types and stages of vaccination, concomitant vaccines an

Introduction: Salacca zalacca (Gaertn Voss), commonly known as snake fruit and belongs to the Arecaceae family and natives of Southeast Asia. This fruit is edible and have certain medicinal values. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of different drying and extraction methods. Material and metho

Angular distributions of the decay B0 → K∗0μ+μ− are studied using a sample of proton–proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.5 fb−1. An angular analysis is performed to determine the P1 and P� 5 parameters, where the P� 5 parameter is of particular

This article examines the Malaysian experience with public management reform to verify arguments about various reform models. Drawing on empirical data, it investigates reforms that have worked and those that have had limited impacts on public service improvements. It identifies critical success factors that determine reform outcomes and concludes
