This paper models the downlink Fifth Generation (5G) network that supports a flexible frame structure and a shorter Round-Trip Time (RTT) for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ). Moreover, the design of the renowned Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) packet scheduling algorithms is revised to allow these algorithms to support packet scheduling

A packet scheduling algorithm known as Enhanced Maximum-Largest Weighted Delay First (EM-LWDF) is proposed in this paper. It aims to maximize the number of Real Time (RT) and Non Real Time (NRT) users that meet their desired Quality of Service (QoS) in the cognitive Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A). This cognitive LTE-A allows its Component Car

As at 15th October 2020, there were total cases of 38,781,513 of Covid-19 affecting 214 countries and territories around the world and 2 international conveyances that have caused 1,097,476 deaths. The pandemic not only impacts the health of the people around the world but also impacts the economic activities of the world. Among the most affected g

The growth of titanium dioxide nanorod arrays (TNAs) in aqueous solutions containing titanium butoxide and hydrochloric acid can be controlled by regulating the temperature from 115 to 150 °C as an adjustable physical parameter. The transparent colloidal solution of titanates is clouded on the basic growth of TNAs when heated at a certain temperat

An in-socket sensory system enables the monitoring of transfemoral amputee movement for a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic leg. User movement recognition from an in-socket sensor allows a powered prosthetic leg to actively mimic healthy ambulation, thereby reducing an amputee's metabolic energy consumption. This study established an adaptiv

The issue of donation has received great attention around the world. According to Cheung & Chan, (2000) the public donation significantly contribute toward helping the poor and needy people living across the globe. Currently, waqf also can be recognized as one of the potential investment instruments which can be developed to fund various econom

The expectation of stakeholders towards Islamic banks has changed and goes beyond avoiding riba and compliance with Shariah but to become value-based intermediaries and fulfil the objective of Shariah Many studies argue that the goals of Islamic banking should not be restricted to maximizing shareholder wealth but should also entail raising the sta

This study was conducted to profile selected phenolic acids, total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of five herbal plants namely Citrus hystrix, Coriandrum sativum, Murraya koenigii, Polygonum minus and ocimum basilicum in three different phenolic fractions (free, soluble bound and insoluble bound). The phenolic content was quantified us

Introduction: High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Piper sarmentosum (PS) leaves have been widely used in traditional medicine and it has been proven for its antihypertensive and antioxidant effects. This study aims to evaluate the antihypertensive potential of

This paper aimed to investigate the wear properties of surface modified duplex stainless steel (DSS) with SiC particle preplacement using tungsten inert gas (TIG) torch surface melting technique under different process parameters. Surface modification of DSS via TIG torch technique in previous patents is scared. Surface layer was produced using sil
