In this paper we investigate the Ising model on Z2 with competing interactions. In this model we consider J1 as horizontal interactions and J2 as vertical interactions where J1,J2 > 0. We prove that this model can reach a phase transition. Onsager considered the case where horizontal interaction parameter J1 and vertical interaction parameter J

This study identifies some management implications from Sūrah Āli-‘Imrān, the third sūrah of the Qur’ān by reviewing the explanations of Khaled (n.d.) and Khan (2012). The general theme of this sūrah is developing discipline in the Muslim community. A particular emphasis is placed on the process of consultation (shūrā) as a means of

This study explores some of the management lessons in Sūrah Al-Baqarah by referring to the explanations of Khaled (n.d.) and Khan (2012, 2016). Five management lessons were derived from Khaled (n.d.) and six management lessons were derived from Khan (2012, 2016). Khan (2012, 2016) was more detailed than Khaled (n.d.) and highlighted the problem o

Christmas is around the corner, and with a few of us planning to do a little cuti cuti Malaysia, cities like Penang and Ipoh may be coming out tops for a few reasons.. One of the biggest tourisms draws for the past few years have been the bevy of large scale murals and graffiti paintings scattered around heritage sites in the city. It’s added col

In this paper we prove the existence of conditional expectations in the noncommutative Lp(M,Φ)-spaces associated with center-valued traces. Moreover, their description is also provided. As an application of the obtained results, we establish the norm convergence of weighted averages of martingales in noncommutative Lp(M,Φ)-spaces.3/18/2018 Condit

Islamic insurance industry is experiencing a period of rapid growth in terms of its net contributions and profit, however, at the same time, the development of this industry is still faced with tough obstacles and constraints due to the Shar'iah issues in some certain aspects. Islamic insurance operations need to be fine-tuned to meet the Islam

There are twelve millions of Filipinos living in an extreme poverty. Despite of having a well-crafted government model for poverty alleviation, the state roles in managing charities to alleviate people’s sufferance from economic deprivation are very minimal. By reason of the state’s strict adherence to secularism, the operation of Islamic insti

The significant challenge in the oil and gas industry is the concurrent measurement of commingled gas, oil and water production, either using three phase test separator or multiphase flow meter (MPFM). A major issue in these applications is the uncertainty of the measurements, due to different measurement operations conditions. A new computational

In this paper we establish a vector version the "zero-two" law for positive contractions in the Orlicz-Kantorovich spaces.ISBN: 978-1-5108-3903-8 ISSN: 1742-6588 37th International Conference on Quantum Probability and Related Topics (QP37) Kuantan, Malaysia 22 – 26 August 2016 Editors: Luigi Accardi Farrukh Mukhamedov Pah Chin Hee Journa

The relationship between state and Islamic institutions in secular society is a relatively new research area, complicated by the arguably secular worldview of main- stream development theory and practice. However, the establishment of waqf (pl. awqāf; sing. waqf) institutions or inalienable Muslim endowments in the Philippines can be traced back p
