Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become attractive for engineering structural applications due to their excellent specific strength property and are increasingly seen as alternative to the conventional materials particularly in the automotive industry. In this study, a historical background on the development and application of metal matrix comp

In the present paper, we study forward quantum Markov chains (QMC) defined on a Cayley tree. Using the tree structure of graphs, we give a construction of quantum Markov chains on a Cayley tree. By means of such constructions we prove the existence of a phase transition for the XY -model on a Cayley tree of order three in QMC scheme. By the phase t

This study examines the impact of Shariah Board (SB) characteristics and BOD structure on the performance of Islamic banks in Malaysia based on three performance measurements: Zakat over Asset, Return on Asset (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE). This study covers 15 Islamic banks in Malaysia for a study period from 2010 to 2018 consisting of the pre

The Covid-19 pandemic suddenly claimed its existence with thousands of fatalities reported worldwide in just a few months. It has caused great concern and panic resulting to total halt in all activities particularly the economic sector. The lockdown has caused global economic contraction which has led to forecasted economic recession for the year 2

In the present paper we study forward Quantum Markov Chains (QMC) defined on Cayley tree. A construction of such QMC is provided, namely we construct states on finite volumes with boundary conditions, and define QMC as a weak limit of those states which depends on the boundary conditions. Using the provided construction we investigate QMC associate

The purpose for this study is to validate a model of student interactions (student-content, student-instructor and student-student interactions and vicarious interaction), information technology self efficacy and student achievement. Investigation of the relationships was undertaken with structural equation modeling analyses, in a study with 250 un

We propose the construction of a quantum Markov chain that corresponds to a “forward” quantum Markov chain. In the given construction, the quantum Markov chain is defined as the limit of finite-dimensional states depending on the boundary conditions. A similar construction is widely used in the definition of Gibbs states in classical statistica

In the present paper we continue our investigations started in [Accardi L. , Ohno, H. , Mukhamedov, F. , Quantum Markov fields on graphs, Inf. Dim. Analysis, Quantum Probab. Related Topics (accepted) arxi v: 0911 . 1667]. In [Accardi L., Mukhamedov, F., Saburov M. On Quantum Markov chains on Cayley tree and associated chains with XY-model arxiv: 10

This paper aimed at examining the learning strategies constructs and to investigate the relationship between learning strategies and motivation in Arabic courses. The study uses a questionnaire as the information-gathering instrument, and the participants comprised students from two public universities in Peninsular Malaysia who are studying Arabic

The main aim of 3D mobile interactive navigation support is to offer end-users easier means of accomplishing basic and complex navigation tasks in a user friendly way. Unfortunately, not until the end-users make use of the end-product or prototype, their needs, preferences, and their true understanding will not be acknowledged. As a result of these
