This paper presents the new algorithm of PP-PFC (Pole placement Predictive Functional Control) for stable, linear under-damped higher-order processes. It is shown that while conventional PFC aims to get first-order exponential behavior, this is not always straightforward with significant under damped modes and hence a pole-placement PFC algorithm i

Issues related to terrorism have been reported excessively by the media in order to tell public by giving recent and significant information. Currently, online media are known to be a major source of news as they can provide information without any delayed to ensure the society stay connected with and being informed on the latest issues. Therefore,

This research peruses the characteristics of nanoparticles on stagnation point flow of a generalized Newtonian Carreau fluid past a nonlinear stretching sheet with nonlinear thermal radiation. The process of mass transfer is modeled using activation energy and binary chemical reaction along with the Brownian motion and thermophoresis. For energy ac

A large number of study on the impact of rahn product has been conducted and the result shown that rahn is a significant tool in empowering economic and social aspects of its subscribers. However, there are very limited study that analyzed, examined on the effect of rahn on women particularly in enhancing their economic and social status. Thus, thi

Online banking had grown tremendously in the recent yeats due to the vast development of internet applications on both computer and handheld devices. However, this advancement is faced by equally growing fraud attacks over the last decade. Customers awareness and vender awareness are considered important factors in the study of fraud attacked volum

Sequel to scientific and technological evolutions, electronic fatwā i.e. e-fatwā has become a phenomenon among means of fatwā dissemination in the contemporary world. Arguably, it has become the easiest means of getting fatwā as a response to various life challenges, notwithstanding the geographical factor. Day by day, the number of websites de

This paper presents the development of a flexible antenna made of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and Copper (Cu) patch. The antenna comprises of Cu tape as the patch and ground plane, PDMS composite as the substrate and SMA connector as the coaxial feed with dimensions of 21.5mm patch radius, 60x60x3 mm3 substrate area and 60x60 mm2 ground plane area.

Composition and concentrations of air pollutants in particles have been shown to have a correlation with differences in mortality counts in different parts of the world. These particles are also able to deteriorate health especially the respiratory system and may lead to mortality. Toxic metals in these particles are associated with respiratory dis

The significance of high gain directional antennas stems from the need to cope up with the everyday progressing wireless communication systems. Due to low gain of the widely used microstrip antenna, combining multiple antennas in proper geometry increases the gain with good directive property. Over other array forms, this paper uses concentric circ

This book investigates the relationship between social capital components, (trust, networks of civic engagement, norms of reciprocity and cooperation) with the performance of the local government of Maldives. It also sheds some light on the formation, development and the functions of the local government. In order to address the research questions,
