A ZnTe/polymer junction has been fabricated and the photovoltaic properties studied. The polymer is a blend of 50 wt% chitosan and 50 wt% polyethylene oxide (PEO). The polymer blend was complexed with ammonium iodide (NH4I) and some iodine crystals were added to the polymer-NH4I solution to provide the I-/I3- redox couple. The ionic conductivity of

The early decades of the twentieth century witnessed the emergence of the salafi-inspired reform movements in various parts of Southeast Asia. Kiyai Haji Ahmad Dahlan and Muhammadiyah movement led such reform in Java whereas a group of refomlists, spearheaded by Haji Rasu!. Haji Abdullah Ahmad, and Shaykh Jamil Jambik carried out similar reform in

The author starts with a look on the current situation between America and the Muslim World, that "has been exploited by extremists in both camps endangering world peace in the first decade of the 21st century." Then he justifies the major reasons behind his research: "The peace loving majorities in both the west and the Muslim world wa

The present study was carried out to determine the in vitro antibacterial activity of aqueous and chloroform extracts of the leaves and fruits of Averrhoa bilimbi L. using the standard disc diffusion test. The air-dried leaves and fruits of A. bilimbi were separately soaked in distilled water or chloroform (1:10; wv-1) for 24 h and the resultant su

MRI Image rconstruction from 2D ARMA is proposed in this paper. Conventionally MRI images are reconstructed using 2D DFT in all type of MRI data acquisition techniques due to its computational effectiveness and simplicity. However the use of DFT leads to artifacts and appearance of Gibbs Ringing. Various types of windows are used to overcome this i

Introduction: Informed consent is now accepted as the cornerstone of medical practice, with reasonable patient standards typically considered to be appropriate in the developed countries; however it is still challenged in many developing countries. The objective of this descriptive study was to evaluate the perceptions and practices among attending

Terdapat lebih kurang 55 muzium di Malaysia yang menggunakan bangunan warisan sebagai premis institusi mereka. Muzium bukan sahaja menyimpan atau mempamerkan koleksi atau artifak warisan yang tinggi nilainya malah ia juga mempunyai nilai warisan seni bina yang berharga. Kedua-duanya adalah warisan negara yang tidak boleh ditukar ganti dan seharusny

The effectiveness of assistive devices for disabled people is often limited by the human machine interface. This research proposes an intelligent wheelchair system especially for severely disabled people based on analysing electroencephalographic signals by using discrete wavelet transform and higher order statistical methods. The system to be impl

In this paper, we present a new wide-sense nonblocking optical switching network. The proposed network combines some building blocks, which is All-To-All Personalized Exchange Multistage Interconnection Network. The architectural details and some other parameters are evaluated and compared with other networks to show the superiority of the proposed

ELID grinding is drawing more and more attention by the researchers for its smart method of in-process dressing of the grinding wheel. A number of studies have been done by many people to investigate the mechanism and application of the process, though no significant effort has been made so far to develop an intelligent machinetool especially dedic
