Microwave (MW) and millimeter-wave (MMW) propagation are severely affected by dust storms and sand storms in arid and semi-arid areas. Electromagnetic waves may suffer from attenuation due to suspended particles during a dust storm. This paper proposes an empirical model to predict the attenuation due to dust storms based on a one-year measurement

Meiotic recombination is the driving force behind genetic diversity. It happens non-randomly across the genome, with high concentrations in regions called recombination hot spots. Across mammalian species, PRDM9 has shown to be an important player in localizing almost all meiotic recombination hot spots. However in some species such as birds and do

Islamic banks are required to be able to access and hold sufficientlevels of High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) as part of Basel IIIrequirements.

From the myriads of research and case study, it is observed that the assessment of the urban quality of life (QoL) has been based on the various parameters and factors. Besides, the design and construction industries have an increasing attention in and concern for environmental effects over its total life cycle of urban fabrics. Although a signific

This book presents an investigation on the production of English derivational forms by Malaysian secondary school students. Although the use of the forms has been the subject of study in numerous ESL settings, the same cannot generally be said in the Malaysian context. Being one of the main sources for English vocabulary, derivational morphological
