The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of intellectual freedom in academic libraries. The librarians who provide services to the users should exercise equal access and opportunity to match the needs of the user. The librarians should refrain from taking a particular position that can be construed by others to be associating with s

The significance of this chapter is to review the main contributions of al-Khazini in physics and scientific instruments. The methodology adopted in this chapter includes review of available and reliable literatures and data collected from library and internet sources. The main focus of the chapter is to present the work done by previous Muslim sci

We describe the history, growth, and current scope of peace psychology, which is dominated by the security concerns of Western countries. Then we ask the question: How would the content and scope of peace psychology be different if more weight were given to the geohistorical issues, perspectives, and research agendas of scholars from Asia and devel

In this paper, real-world data are used to estimate CDC (Center for Disease Control) stage transition times for patients diagnosed with HIV using statistical methods. The method that will be used for these estimations will be an analysis of a finite state Markov chain. For the purposes of this thesis, two populations will be analyzed. The two popul

This paper is aimed to determine factors influencing international postgraduate students in choosing university in Malaysia. Factors such as programs offered, fees, promotion, facilities, prominence, environment, convenience, and scholarship were utilized. A total of 135 international postgraduate students were involved in this study through a dire

In this paper, we applied the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) to evaluate the temperature distribution of a straight rectangular fin with power-law temperature dependent surface heat flux. The time interval is divided into several subintervals and the HPM solutions are applied successively over these reduced time intervals. Comparisons between t

In this paper, we introduce a method to solve linear sti® IVPs. The sug-gested method, which we call modi¯ed homotopy perturbation method, can be considered as an extension of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) which is very efficient in solving a varety of di®erential and algebraic equations. In this work, a class of linear stiff initial va

In this paper, we suggest a method to solve the multispecies Lotka-Voltera equations. The suggested method, which we call modified homotopy perturbation method, can be considered as an extension of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) which is very efficient in solving a varety of differential and algebraic equations. The HPM is modified in order

The n-butyramido, isobutyramido, benzamido, and furancarboxamido functions profoundly modulate the electronics of the stilbene olefinic and NH groups and the corresponding radical cations in ways that influence the efficiency of the cyclization due presumably to conformational and stereoelectronic factors. For example, isobutyramidostilbene undergo

The amount of information being churned out by the field of biology has jumped manifold and now requires the extensive use of computers of the management of this information. The field of bioinformatics that addresses this need of biology has become an industry in its own right with the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries being dependent on
