The 8th century monastery of Sompur Mahavihara at Paharpur, Bangladesh, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage (WH) Site since 1985, are the earliest evidence of monumental architecture in Bengal. After the inscription on the WH List, a major conservation program for the site was undertaken. The present state of the monastery has raises s

The excellent heat transfer properties of nanoparticles have potential applications in various fields including biology during the last two decades. Recently, the use of various nanoparticles in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) resulted in significant enhancement of its efficiency and specificity. In this research we have demonstrated the effects of

This study provides an analysis of the use of social networking sites in education. The primary objective is to identify opportunities and challenges in using social networking sites as medium to support teaching and learning process. Also, it discusses the awareness among the respondents towards using social networking in this context. Survey ques

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonators are essential components for modern communication systems. They can function as filters and frequency synthesizers. SAW resonators operate based on the principle of acoustic waves propagating along the surface of a solid piezoelectric material. The waves are generated by injecting electrical energy using inter

Objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of different approach of self-performed plaque removal (mechanical Vs chemical) on the periodontal health status among a sample of Malaysian adults. Methods: thirty seven systemically healthy patients, 20-30 years old and with gingivitis, were recruited for the study. They were rando

The sinterability of Bi2O3-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) has been studied and compared with the undoped HA. Varying amounts of Bi2O3 ranging from 0.05 wt% to 1.0 wt% were mixed with the HA. The study revealed that most sintered samples composed of the HA phase except for compacts containing 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 wt% Bi2O3 and when sintered above 1100 8C, 10

Architecture played an instrumental role in spreading ideas of different civilizations around the world. Hence, through documenting heritage we could document the facets of different cultural Diaspora through time and spaces. The objective of the heritage study program at the department of Architecture of HUM is to capture the facets of Islamic Dia

Semi-active control devices have received significant attention in recent years because they offer the adaptability of active control devices without requiring the associated large power sources. Magneto-rheological (MR) dampers are semi-active control devices that use MR fluids to produce controllable dampers. They potentially offer highly reliabl

Tracking a person successfully and following robustly is a significant ability that requires to be overwhelmed by a service robot while it requires completing some human-related tasks. Such capability has desires, which cannot be met pleasingly using conventional numerical process. Most remarkably, the robot has to stay at a certain safe distance a

The elevator technologies are developed to serve the requested passenger’s floors with high consideration of passengers’ satisfaction and elevator optimal performance. Responding to the issue, this paper focuses on development of an elevator group controller based on fuzzy algorithm. By introducing a fuzzy controller in an elevator system, this
