Titanium alloys are widely known as difficult to cut materials, especially at higher cutting speeds, due to their several inherent properties. Siekmann [1] suggested that machining of titanium and its alloys would always be a problem, no matter what techniques are employed to transform this metal into chips. When machining Ti-6Al-4V, conventional t

The gene identification problem, which identifies the protein-coding regions (exons) in DNA sequences through computational means, is of great importance nowadays. A DNA sequence can be divided into genes and intergenic spaces. In eukaryotic genes, these regions can be divided into two sub-regions called coding regions (exons) and non-coding region

The field of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is about 60 years old. There have been many interesting advances and developments since the invention of the first speech recognizer at Bell Labs in the early 1950' s. The development of ASR increased gradually until the invention of Hidden Markov Models (HMM) in early 1970's. Researchers'

Ankylosing spondylitis is a systemic inflammatory disease which may predispose the cervical spine to fracture, subluxation or dislocation. High mortality and morbidity has been reported mainly due to neurological deficit, respiratory failure and sepsis. We report two patients with ankylosing spondylitis presenting with cervical fracture after motor

The representation of a religio-political identity by the ‘civil society’ of a country is a complex act intersecting multiple spheres such as the sociocultural, economic, and particularly partisan understanding of religion, politics, and culture dividing the society (and media houses) who inflect, invent, and articulate novel identity for the p

This paper analyses the affect of trade liberalisation on imports, exports and GDP per capita of Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) member countries that have gone through the trade liberalisation process since the 1970s. Using an approach that focus on the changes within-country across time, the study shows that the effects differ from o

وتتمثل الفكرة الأساسية التى يقوم عليها المؤتمر في كون القرآن الكريم مصدرا للقوانين والأحكام، ومرجعاً للنظام الأخلاقي والاجتماعي، فهو يقدم فلسفة شاملة للحياة، وهو المنبع الأساس للقيم الروحي�

Infliction of a war is often followed by an ethical question whether it is just or unjust. A war can only be justified if it has enough just causes. This study aims to investigate the Islamic justifications of war through analyzing firstly the Qur’anic directives of war; secondly, the background of the wars that were fought by Muhammad (s.a.w.) a

Prisoners of war throughout the history have often been subjected to merciless torture: death, dishonor, negligence, brutality, unnecessary harassment or starvation and other ways of inhuman persecution. In the contemporary context where Islam is characterized as merciless and cruel religion, this paper aims to explore the truth of such accusations
