Constrained motion of a rigid-flexible manipulator in contact with a rotating environment is considered. A rigid-flexible manipulator may be assigned tasks in a moving environment where the winds or vibrations affect the position and/or orientation of surface of operation. When the environment is moving, knowledge of the angle a between the contact

Books on the history of economic thought are a relatively rare find these days, more so in the nascent discipline of Islamic economics, which some would say has been ‘hijacked’ by works in the areas of banking and finance. While the editor rightly points out that this book is not about Islamic economics, it discusses a very important contributi

POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) is more suitable than the quartz optical fiber for indoor LAN (Local Area Network), for example in-home or office networks because of its flexibility and ease of connection by relatively large core diameter.1 x 2 optical switches for indoor LAN using POF have been developed. For switching by movement of a POF, large disp

Desalination processes are making rapid technological progresses for the conversion of seawater to fresh water. In this study, experiments have been performed on a mechanical vapor compression desalination system (MVC). The MVC pilot plants has two vertical evaporator condensers and its rated capacity is about 1 m3/d. The performance of the system

يسعى هذا البحث إلى تقديم دراسة تَحليلية تأصيلية في موضوع صمود اللغة العربية في مواجهة الصراع اللغوي الذي اندلع فترة الاحتلال الأوربي بعالم الملايو وأدّت بعدها إلى أزمة لغوية، وسياسية اجتماعي

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare benign tumor, most of which occurs in adults with localization in the subcutaneous tissue or muscle of the extremities. A five-year-old girl presented with a mass in her right upper thigh. Due to the large size of the mass (10 x 7 cm), our provisional diagnosis was a soft tissue sarcoma. A tru-cut biopsy

We are reporting a case of a patient with a symptomatic intra-articular ganglion of the knee arising from infrapatellar fat pad. Plain radiograph and Magnetic Resonance (MR) images were correlated with arthroscopic examination and histological findings. The cyst was removed and post operatively patient regained full extension.

This book is an English translation from French and Arabic of Malik Bennabi's Book Le Phenomene Coranique/al-Zahirah al-Qur'aniyyah

The purpose of this work is to present a practical study on the key factors of usability in small-sized mobile touch-screen applications. Though using smart phones has brought great easiness in our daily life in many ways, many smart phone applications often remain underutilized due to the poor consideration of end-users in the development phase, t

Frequent technological advances in the field of computing have resulted in a rapid increase in creation of new loopholes in systems. To secure their computing systems, big companies resort to use penetration testing as a solution whereby an external company is hired to evaluate the security of the computer system or network under perspective.
