This paper aims to investigate the causal relationship between nonbank financial intermediaries (NBFIs) and per capita economic growth in Malaysia for the period 1974-2004. The study employs the ARDL bounds testing approach to cointegration. The Granger non causality test in a multivariate vector error correction mechanism (VECM) framework is carri

Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless and greet him) was the embodiment of truth, purity and righteousness. He was the fountain of eternal light that illuminated the minds and souls of human beings and enabled them to identify the path that leads to peace, prosperity, happiness and perfection. He saved humanity from disaster, destruction, oppression, s

This paper presents the performance analysis of five direction of arrival estimation algorithms namely Bartlett, Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR), Linear Prediction and MUSIC DOA Estimates. We present the description, comparison and the performance and resolution analyses of these algorithms. Sensitivity to various perturbations and

Inspired by the work of D.G.Kelly and S.Sherman on general Griffiths inequalities on correlations in Ising ferromagnets, we formulate and prove Griffith–Kelly–Sherman-type inequalities for the ferromagnetic Potts model with a general number q of local states. We take as local state space for the q-state Potts model the set Fc ={-l, -l+1, · ·

Objective: Omphalocele is one of the most frequently encountered congenital anomalies during prenatal ultrasound. The heterogenous causes lead to an unpredictable prognosis and made genetic counseling difficult. Efforts to investigate the etiology pay off following uncovering a new chromosome rearrangement. Design: A 38 year old, G3P1SA1 Taiwanese

We consider linear and nonlinear stochastic models for transmission of blood types and Rhesus factor from parents to their offspring and investigate long run behavior of these models. In this study we will consider an application of the theory of Markov chains and the theory of nonlinear transformations in medicine. It is well known that the gene w

By the year 2020, Malaysia aspires to become a fully developed nation. This lofty vision, known as Vision 2020, was unveiled by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad in February 28, 1991. By the present time, it is generally felt that the nation has achieved 50 to 60 per cent of the objectives of Vision 2020. “Many mo

Previously traditional methods were sufficient to protect the information, since it is simplicity in the past does not need complicated methods but with the progress of information technology,it become easy to attack systems, and detection of encryption methods became necessary to find ways parallel with the differing methods used by hackers, so th

Selection of airfoil is crucial for better aerodynamic performance and design of aerodynamic applications such as wind turbine and aircrafts. In this paper, a high-lift and lowReynolds number airfoil has been selected and investigated through computational analysis for applying it for small-sized wind turbines as blades. The S1223 airfoil, designed

Selection of appropriate airfoil is very important for improved aerodynamic performance of a smaller-capacity fixed-pitch straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT). Recently, Islam et. al1 have identified the desirable features of an ideal airfoil for smaller capacity SB-VAWT to improve its starting characteristics and overall performanc
