Whole genome duplication (WGD) has occurred in relatively few sexually reproducing invertebrates. Consequently, the WGD that occurred in the common ancestor of horseshoe crabs ~135 million years ago provides a rare opportunity to decipher the evolutionary consequences of a duplicated invertebrate genome. Here, we present a high-quality genome assem

This study employs sample t-tests and panel pooled OLS regression to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Islamic versus conventional stock markets returns. The study uses daily data from 15 countries over the period of September 01, 2019–April 30, 2020, which covers two main periods and over four sub-periods. Findings reveal that the r

Micromachining techniques are being used regularly in various engineering and production sectors such as Micro Electromechanical Systems, Aerospace, Automotive, Electronics and Biomedical industries. For Laser Beam Micromachining, highly energized laser beam is focused on a small region of the workpiece surface. As a result, it is heated up rapidly

Purpose – There is much debate in the literature about how the performance of Islamic banks (IBs) should be measured. Basically, IBs’ business models are different from that of conventional banks; thus, the performance of IBs should be measured by using a Sharīʿah-based approach. This paper considers zakat (Islamic tax) as an alternative indi

Image segmentation is the most challenging and emerging field nowadays for medical image analysis. Polyp image segmentation is a difficult task due to the variations in the appearance and color intensity of the polyps in colonoscopy images. In this paper, we use a dataset of gastrointestinal polyp images for segmentation. The segmentation methods f

In the present work, hybrid polymer electrolyte based on carboxymethyl cellulose-polyvinyl alcohol-ammonium nitrate-ethylene carbonate (CMC–PVA–NH4NO3–C3H4O3) become the promising materials that has demonstrated outstanding physical properties as an electrolytes system in solar cell. In the frame of solar cell progress, the electrical conduct

The COMPOSTUDIO Model is formulated to improve the effectiveness of hybrid teaching and learning experience for built environment educators and students such as in landscape architecture, architecture, urban planning, and others. To make studios more adaptive in the age of disruption and to rise above the pandemic. COMPOSTUDIO consists of four key

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal relationship between maternal vitamin D concentrations during pregnancy and neonatal vitamin D concentrations at birth. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort of 236 healthy pregnant women from various ethnicity in early pregnancy (≤20 weeks of pregnancy) was followed at la

Conventional cryptographic techniques are inappropriate for resource-constrained applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain because of their high resources requirement. This paper introduces a new Lightweight (LWT) hash function termed Lightweight New Mersenne Number Transform (LNMNT) Hash function, suitable for many IoT applications. The

Introduction: A simple and reliable high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the quantitative determination of pregabalin in bulk and dosage form. Pregabalin, a γ amino butyric acid analogue, has negligible sensitivity to UV or fluorescence detection. Hence, it has been derivatized by ninhydrin to form a chromophoric c
