This paper was conducted to determine the optimal travel routes for self-drive tourism based on the allocation of time and expense by maximizing the amount of attraction scores assigned to each city involved. Self-drive tourism represents a type of tourism where tourists hire or travel by their own vehicle. It only involves a tourist destination wh

Islamic banking and finance is becoming one of the most significant aspects of the modern global financial system. Why? Because it is a fast-growing industry that has developed rapidly within a few years from a niche industry to a global force to be reckoned with in the international arena. However, with the worldwide spread of Islamic financial pr

This study analyses the use of connectives in the World Wide Arabic corpus of selected Gulf countries. The corpus was made up of words from selected Arabic sites based on Arabic seed-words which are parallel to English. A quantitative method was employed in analysing the Arabic connectives extracted from the word lists prepared using SketchEngine.

In this work, a nutraceutical product based on Gaharu distillate was developed. Gaharu (Agarwood) is a scented resin produced by trees of the Aquilaria species upon infection by fungus. While various components and parts of Gaharu tree have traditionally been reported to have medicinal values, it is the resin that is most sought after. Meanwhile, l

The emergence of information and communication technologies (ICTs), particularly,the Internet and other related technologies have brought about a fundamental and dramatic shift in the global educational system,which is changing by the day. This shift has manifested in the form of e- learning where ICT software and hardware are used as tools for tea

This work aims to model the combined cycle power plant (CCPP) using different algorithms. The algorithms used are Ridge, Linear regressor (LR), and support vector regressor (SVR). The CCPP energy output data was collected as a factor of thermal input variables, mainly exhaust vacuum, ambient temperature, relative humidity, and ambient pressure. Ini

The growing demand of portable electronic devices has created the demand of long lasting recharged source of power. Non-environmental friendly conventional batteries with limited lifetimes are no longer a feasible option. This paper proposes a piezoelectric, vibration based energy harvester. The design and simulation of a MEMS piezoelectric cantile
