This paper analyses whether Islam is a religion of ease or hardship. It defines the Arabic terms used in the Scripture and Prophetic Traditions. It employs the method of content analysis of relevant verses of the Scripture and statements of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that refer to the feature of ease and removal of hardship in religion an

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) can be fatal without timely diagnosis and treatment. Treatment efficacies vary due to drug resistance, drug toxicity and co-morbidities. It is important to monitor treatment responsiveness to confirm cure and curtail relapse. Currently, microscopy of spleen, bone marrow or lymph node biopsies is the only defi

Air pollution such as particulate matter (PM) emitted from industries result in several thousands of deaths. In recognition of this global threat, a large number of abatement measures have been taken to minimize the emission of this pollutant. Wet scrubber system has been the most widely used control device for PM contaminants. Its operating variab

The high demand of Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as Stevia encourages people for commercial-scale cultivation. In vitro clonal propagation is a potential alternative for conventional propagation due to its advantages. However, microbial contamination is a constant problem for in vitro clonal propagation of field grown plant. Therefore, the aim

An analytical approach is essential for the estimation of the requirements of aerodynamic and aerostatic lift for a hybrid buoyant aircraft. Such aircraft have two different modules to balance the weight of aircraft; aerostatic module and aerodynamic module. Both these modules are to be treated separately for estimation of the mass budget of propul

The current data bank of operational empty mass fraction of airships is based on available data obtained from existing and historical airships. For any design related activity, regression analysis on existing data bank of airships will not be able to provide the true picture of mass fractions of hybrid airships. This situation becomes more critical

Due to the interference effects, the intrinsic aerodynamic parameters obtained from the individual component testing are always fundamentally different than those obtained for complete model testing. Consideration and limitation for such testing need to be taken into account in any design work related to the component buildup method. In this paper,

In today’s world, the biological sciences are mostly considered separate from the existing modern knowledge of various other fields of sciences and engineering; however there are many properties of nature and known facts of biological sciences that can be proved in the other domains of science and technology as well. Correlation of the geometric

Two anti-phase bright solitons in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate can form stable bound states, known as soliton molecules. In this paper we study the scattering of a twosoliton molecule by external potential, using the simplest and analytically tractable Gaussian potential barriers and wells, in one spatial dimension. Theoretical model is based

The rise of the sustainable agenda must face the reality of tropical regions, which must grow their own archetypes and models of sustainable urbanism. Urban principles derived from the local vernacular roots can contribute to the agenda of lowering carbon emissions in a congested city based on local conceptualisations derived from the region. To ex
