However its advances have generated changes in the moral values and basic philosophies of mankind, a bi-product being loss of faith in religion as a partner in healing. This has re

The normal contact type liquid measurement devices have some drawbacks since they have potential damage due to the sensor fouling or corrosion since those are continuously exposed to the liquid. Especially flash flood may cause the damage of liquid level sensor. So that, it is important to design a non-contact device for liquid level measurement in

Persistent vegetative state (PVS) is a clinical condition of unawareness of self and environment with preserved sleep-wake cycles. Its clinical diagnosis can be a difficult unless a physician has adequate experience and expertise in evaluating neurological syndromes. Outcome is based on aetiology and age.

Jute fiber-reinforcement polymer (JFRP) composite is a cheap material that is broadly used in automotive, marine, air- crafts, domestic upholstery applications because of its various high quality properties. During machining, a few of problems arise due to the Jute fiber in JFRP. Abrasive nature of this composite creates tool wear on the cutting to

The idea of assimilating green supply chain is to integrate and establish environmental management into the supply chain practices. The study aims to explore how environmental management competitive pressure influences a SME company in Malaysia to incorporate green supply chain integration, which is an efficient platform to develop environmental in

In this work, weinvestigate conditions for summability of the Fourier-Laplace series of integrable functions by Riesz means. The kernel of Riesz means is estimated through comparison with the Cesaro means. Properties of D and D* points are required in obtaining this estimation. © 2018, University of Nis.

Income inequality is a growing concern for regulators because it brings adverse consequences towards social stability, institutional stability, and economic performance. One of the popular ways to reduce income inequality is through the implementation of Value Added Tax (VAT) despite many criticisms on its regressive nature. Hence, using a wide dat

Hyperphosphatemia is the key abnormality that sets off a cascade of metabolic events in chronic kidney disease (CKD). End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients that undergo Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) uses the peritoneal membrane for solutes filtration and clearance. The differences on the evaluation of peritoneal membrane transp
