Advances in materials performance undoubtedly require the development of composite systems, of which coated materials are one form. The formation of ceramic composite coatings on various metallic surfaces for wear resistant applications has witnessed a surge in interest among researchers in tribology community. Today, arc heat sources from welding

There has been a growing interest in the development of income-generating Waqf (endowments) properties in recent times. This is quite justifiable considering the fact that Waqf properties estimated to worth up to USD 1 Trillion globally have failed to generate adequate income to meet up the maintenance costs thus resulting in poor maintenance and t

The ballistic research has introduced the requirements for obtaining aerodynamic data including base and wall pressures over a very wide range of Mach number, Reynolds number, and manipulation of these forces by applying both active and passive control strategies. The manipulation of base and wall pressure plays a significant role in bluff body aer

Rapid development and deployment of biosensors for pathogen quantification is needed for flood-stricken areas. Drinking-water supplies in flooded areas become a disease threat owing to mixture with sewage discharge. In such exigent conditions, water is filtered through a microfiltration technique that is moderately effective in removing bacteria an

Mixture of drinking-water supplies with sewage discharges poses disease threats in flood-stricken areas. In such exigent conditions, on-site testing of water samples is the only option, as water samples cannot be transported to laboratories owing to severely impacted transportation services. Hence, we developed a low-cost electrochemical biosensor

Free-space optical (FSO) communication links are point-to-point wireless technologies. It provides high data rates up to gigabit per second. FSO link availability is easily affected by different weather conditions. Radio-frequency (RF) can be a complimentary link to the FSO link to increase the availability. Hybrid FSO/RF is a feasible technology f

In order to guarantee effective satellite service, the link budget for all conditions is important. From the path loss and attenuation statistics, the appropriate fade margin value calculated from the link budget for the specific desired quality of service (QoS) can be determined from outage statistics. In the case of a clear sky, the value depends

Following the end of the Cold war and the collapse of Soviet Union, a little attention has been given to the trans-regional cooperation between Russia and North African Region. Algeria for instance, has more in common with Russia Federation in terms of economic capacities and transition probabilities. The size of the territory, natural resources, w

Introduction: Female reproductive disorders are multifaceted in nature and the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome has remained a challenge in the gynaecological field. Objectives: Eurycoma longifolia has long been used for enhancement of male reproductive functions. This study sought to elucidate its effects in the female reproductive system.
