ZnO thin films were deposited on Teflon substrates by RF magnetron sputtering at different substrate temperature and different RF power. In this work, we investigated the dependence of the deposition rate and also the ZnO physical and electrical properties on the substrate temperature and RF power. It is observed that the deposition rate increased

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an alarming disease outbreak that has affected more than 180 countries worldwide. It has caused close to 2.5 million deaths and has infected 114 million of the global population as of February 2021. This unprecedented pandemic, has caused severe socio-economic problems globally, catching many sectors off-guard and in a sta

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has rapidly gained popularity as an effective treatment modality for achalasia. However, POEM services in the South East Asian region are not widely available due to either a lack of expertise or interest. In this article, we describe how a POEM service can be developed through a combination of networking with regi

This article seeks to examine the concept of wasatiyyah that is employed and incorporated in various Islamic legal principles and rules of fiqh. Even though such wasatiyyah concept is embodied in various subjects of Islamic law (fiqh), nevertheless, this chapter will only demonstrate several subjects that incorporate wasatiyyah as one of its criter

In this study, non-premixed combustion of traditional fuel-natural gas, and an alternative fuel-biogas, is simulated in a swirling flow industrial gas turbine combustor geometry which includes the combustor liner and the outside casing in order to replicate the flow and combustion in a real gas turbine combustor. The 3D combustion simulations are v

The purpose of this article is to apply Bakhtin theory of carnivalesque as a device in reading noises of the displaced other during a change program in an organization that rests solely upon the modernist approach. The change divided the organization into two worlds. In the ‘first world’noises are centripetalised around monologism, and it can b

In the 21st century, Organization Development (OD) is expected to awaken and grow the minds, hearts and spirits of managers and their organizations. We suggest sacred and transcendental approach for the above matter, in particular taking the wisdom of Sufism. OD then is being seen as a sacred sophialogical engagement with hikma as its base of actio

Ethno-pragmatics as device to understand the culturally Other is essential when we believe that there is a nexus of intimate relationships between language and culture. The whole idea of ethno-pragmatics is to understand local life-worlds in the wake of celebrating particularism in inter-cultural communication. Ethnopragmatics basically appreciates

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite is an expensive material that is widely used in aerospace applications because of its unique properties. During machining, several problems arise because of the carbon in CFRP. Abrasive wear occurs on the cutting tools during CFRP machining, thereby shortening the life of the tools and damaging surfa

Carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite is one of expensive material which is widely used in aerospace application because of its properties. During machining, several problems arose which are due to the existence of the carbon in CFRP. Abrasive wear can be easily found on the cutting tool during machining CFRP which shorten the life of th
