Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a real asset management investment appraisal of the performance of containerships as a primary segment within international shipping, to facilitate Islamic equity investment through a shipping fund. The objectives are to evaluate the risks and returns of shipping under the framework of Islamic equ

This paper presents a linear and nonlinear stochastic distribution for the interactions in multi-agent systems (MAS). The interactions are considered for the agents to reach a consensus using hetero-homogeneous transition stochastic matrices. The states of the agents are presented as variables sharing information in the MAS dynamically. The paper s

There has been tremendous work on multi-agent systems (MAS) in recent years. MAS consist of multiple autonomous agents that interact with each order to solve a complex problem. Several applications of MAS can be found in computer networks, smart grids, and the modeling of complex systems. Despite numerous benefits, a significant challenge for MAS i

An acid, 2,2-dichloropropionic acid (2,2-DCP) is an active ingredient in herbicide (Dalapon®). Using 2,2-DCP as a model substrate, an alkalotolerant bacterium was successfully isolated from the Blue Lake, Turkey. This bacterium is a potential bioremediation agent of recalcitrant xenobiotic halogenated compounds. This stu-dy aimed to prove the effi

Astrocytes, the predominant glial cell type in the brain, were traditionallyconsidered as merely passive supportive cells without any important roles in synaptic information processing. In contrast, the contemporary view was given rise to show that astrocytes play active roles in synaptic neurotransmissionand information processing. Hence, recently

Background. Chronic constipation is a common symptom among the elderly, and it may affect their quality of life (QoL). A lack of available research focused on the elderly means that this effect is not well understood. This study aimed to develop and validate a new scale (Elderly-Constipation Impact Scale (E-CIS)) to measure the impact of chronic co

Image watermarking techniques applied frequency transmission technique to improve the imperceptibility, robustness, and embedding capacity performance. For the medical image, the watermarking technique gives the imperceptibility performance priority for the importance of the visual quality of the medical image in medical diagnose. The fitness evalu

Malay buildings are synonym with the unique design of full decorative on motive, unique façade design, and roof structured. Most of heritage buildings had been demolished and left out without proper documentation and preserving the building database. Latest mapping systems provide an efficient technique for acquiring dense point clouds in analysin
