Purpose - This paper aims to highlight on the unique aspects of Islamic microfinance based on the experience of Baitul Maal Wa Tamwil (BMT) in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach - It adopts the content analysis approach and focuses on three phases of financing, namely, pre-financing, financing and post-financing using coding and model buildings

This study describes a fuzzy controlled hybrid engine powered car. The car is powered by the lithium ion battery capacity of 1000 Wh is charged by the 50 cc hybrid engine and power regenerative mode. The engine is operated with lean mixture at 3000 rpm to charge the battery. The regenerative mode that connects with the engine generates electrical p

The adoption of lithium-ion battery technology for electric vehicles/hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV) has recently received attention worldwide. The price of cobalt (Co) and lithium (Li) has increased due to the production of EV/HEV. A used lithium battery is a valuable source of active metals (Co, Li, and Al) and the optimal way of extracting the

Electrical vehicle needs to draw power from battery for acceleration. It needs to draw high current for speeding up to 130 km/h on 0% gradient and 40 km/h on 5-10% gradient. Battery generates powerful electrical currents to meet the power demands of EV, causing significant warming of the Li-ion cells. The battery operating temperature of 40ºC and

Thermoelectric generators are all solid-state devices that convert heat energy into electrical energy. The total energy (fuel) supplied to the engine, approximately 30 to 40% is converted into useful mechanical work; whereas the remaining is expelled to the environment as heat through exhaust gasses and cooling systems, resulting in serious green h

Thermoelectric generator generates electrical power from heat based on the temperature gradient. The total energy (fuel) supplied to the engine, approximately 30 to 40% is converted into useful mechanical work, whereas the remaining is expelled to the environment as heat through exhaust gases and cooling systems, resulting in serious greenhouse gas

Climate change is recognized as one of the greatest environmental threats facing the World today and it has long been appreciated by governments that reducing the impact of the IC engine powered motor vehicle has an important part to play in addressing this threat. This article presents the parametric study of a palladium (Pd)/ graphene oxide (GO)

The effects of interspecific competition on grazing between two important aquaculture species, mrigal carp Cirrhinus cirrhosis and orangefin labeo Labeo calbasu, in single and in dual combinations were observed in experimental tanks. This study demonstrated that the presence of a competitor did not cause C. cirrhosis to shift its diel feeding patte

This paper aims to investigate the nexus between financial integration and the real economy in ASEAN + 3 economies based on the concept of Solow-Growth Model. The equity indices as a proxy for financial markets are collected from each ASEAN + 3 members and are segmented between two periods; before and after the financial cooperation agreement perio

Two-pore domain K+ (K2P) channels have many important physiological functions. However, the functional properties of the TWIK-1 (K2P1.1/KCNK1) K2P channel remain poorly characterized because heterologous expression of this ion channel yields only very low levels of functional activity. Several underlying reasons have been proposed, including TWIK-1
