This publication is based on the research done in the course of setting up Munich Re’s office for Islamic reinsurance: Munich Re’s retakaful operation (MRR) was licensed by the Central Bank of Malaysia on 31 December 2007 in Kuala Lumpur to conduct worldwide family and general retakaful business. The purpose of this publication is to provide an

We consider linear and nonlinear stochastic models of transmission Rhesus factor from parents to their offspring and show that in long run behavior the frequency of Rhesus factor be the same.Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 4(8): 3306-3310, 2010 ISSN 1991-8178© 2010, INSInet Publication Stochastic Models of Heredity Rhesus Factor

We study the phase diagram for Potts model on a Cayley tree with competing nearestneighbor interactions J1, prolonged next-nearest-neighbor interactions J2 and one-level nextnearest- neighbor interactions J3. Vannimenus [1] proved that the phase diagram of Ising model with Jo = 0 contains a modulated phase, as found for similar models on periodic l

The use of simultaneous masking in speech enhancement has shown promise for a range of noise types. In this paper, a new speech enhancement algorithm based on a short-term temporal masking threshold to noise ratio (MNR) is presented. A novel functional model for forward masking based on three parameters is incorporated into a speech enhancement fra

This paper presents the vibration issue in micro end milling of of poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) workpiece using integrated multi-process machine tools DT 110 (Mikrotools Inc., Singapore) with control parameter; spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The vibration was measured using accelerometer (DYTRAN Instruments Inc., USA). The optimum so

The availability of inexpensive PC sound cards that can simultaneously play and record stereo digital audio files permits a single PC or laptop or netbook to function as both a signal generator and as a dual-channel recording digital oscilloscope. This paper presents how sound card with Matlab Data Acquisition Toolbox can be utilized for instrument

In this work, a simple mitigation technique for the effect of impulsive noise in Haar discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based OFDM systems is presented. Based on the analysis for a certain configuration of Haar DWT-OFDM, redundancy in the transmitted samples was found and exploited to mitigate the impulsive noise by replacing the corrupted samples.

Imam Shawkani is Muhammad b. Ali b. Muhammad b. Abdillah al-Shawkani al-Sanani (born 1760). He is called al-Shawkani because of his attribution to his birth place, Hijrah Shawkan a small town a day’s journey from Sana, Yemen. He is also known as al-Sanani as an attribution to Sana where he grew up, studied and held the position of Qadi al-qudat u

This study describes performance analysis of a robust system for road sign identification that incorporated two stages of different algorithms. The proposed algorithms consist of HSV color filtering and PCA techniques respectively in detection and recognition stages. The proposed algorithms are able to detect the three standard types of colored ima

We investigate an Ising model with two restricted competing interactions (nearest neighbors, and one-level neighbors) on the Cayley tree of order four. We derive a recurrent equation for the Cayley tree of order k. We found an analytic solution for the given interactions in the case of order 4. Our result of the critical curve shows the existence o
