This article illustrates how influential arguments were used to validate an information system (IS) project success model using the inductive-qualitative method rather than continual hypothesis testing. The purpose of the study was to explore the validity and feasibility of the model using a focus group study (FGS) to respond that many IS scholars

Objectives: The objective of this retrospective study was to compare the effect of different mandibular setback amount by vertical subsigmoid osteotomy (VSSO) on the pattern of radiographic condylar remodelling in 1 year time span post-surgically. Methods: 200 patients diagnosed of mandibular prognathism and underwent VSSO surgery with various setb

The ‘Electronic journal of geotechnical engineering’ has recently published a high impact research in the field of landslide susceptibility mapping. This article has a great scientific value with considerable contribution to the knowledge. The aim of current article, as a technical note, is to review some parts of the mentioned landslide suscep

This book deals with the subject of the relationship between Muslim architecture and society and how they influence each other, taking some social and historical segments of complex Indian society as a case study. The book consists of three independent studies which cover three vital aspects of Muslim architecture, especially in India: 1) Convertin

This paper discusses the subject of mosque decoration and some of the criteria which determine its acceptability or otherwise. Some aspects of the matter are somewhat sensitive and double-edged. Thus, the paper presents an objective, balanced and scientific account of the theme, steering clear of the sentimental aspects of the evidences often put f

This research exposes the underlying maqāṣid embedded in Sharī‘ah contracts as applied in Islamic banking and finance. It addresses the problem of not observing maqāṣid in nominated and combined Sharī‘ah contracts as well as the problem of not sufficiently imbuing maqāṣid in products developed by Islamic financial institutions. As a

In this paper, we have proposed a new hierarchical interconnection network called Tori-connected Flattened Butterfly Network (TFBN). It is a hierarchical interconnection network which is able to interconnect millions of nodes in the network to achieve high performance and cost-effective design for massively parallel computing system. TFBN consists

Hydroxyapatite powder has been synthesized from eggshell waste using a simple hydrothermal synthesis. The process involved drying and thermal decomposition of eggshell into calcium oxide followed by a hydrothermal reaction at a temperature of as low as 90C with ammonium di-hydrogen phosphate and water. The produced hydroxyapatite powder is extra

Photocatalysis has been proven effective in controlling various environmental problems originated by pollutions both in liquid and gaseous phases. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is well known the most practical photocatalyst as it has high photocatalytic efficiency, low band gap energy, and no toxicity. Various chemical methods have been tried to produce

The mechanochemical synthesis method was employed to synthesis hydroxyapatite (HA) and magnesium (Mg) doped hydroxyapatite (HA) powders. The effects of Mg2+ into the synthesized HA powder properties were investigated. Characterization of the synthesized HA (Mg-free HA) and Mg–doped HA at various concentrations (1% - 9% MgHA) were accomplished thr
