In a communications system, a diversity technique is used to enhance the reliability of a message signal by using at least two channels with different characteristics. In this paper, all four possible scenarios are considered: Single-input and singleoutput (SISO), single input and multi-output (SIMO), multipleinput and single-output (MISO), Multipl

The natural sand which excavated from river bed is used to produced conventional concrete. Depletion of natural sand cause the environmental problem and hence sand excavating is restricted by the government which resulted in shortage and drastically increase in its cost. In order to fulfill the necessity of fine aggregates, an alternative material

يقف هذا البحث على فرضية التنمية المركَّبة التي لا نراها تحصل إلا بتركيب ثلاثة عناصر، هي: السلطة والعامة والنخبة (=س، ع، ن)؛ حيث يكون الإنسان المواطن كالبنيان المرصوص يشدُّ بعضه بعضًا، ويقف سدًّ

Quality assurance in higher education is a hot topic with the increased number of students graduating from postgraduate programmes offered by the higher education institutions. This qualitative study aimed to look at the history and the current status of the quality assurance mechanisms in the Maldives; identify its strengths and weaknesses; and ma

Background: Research on antepartum psychiatric morbidities investigating depressive and anxiety symptoms in expectant mothers and fathers is lacking in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of antepartum depressive, anxiety and co-occurring significant symptoms and explore the associated factors in a cross-se

Cracks with inclination angles may potentially cause damage to a larger region in the tested structures. Their characterization, in terms of depth and angle, is therefore paramount for ensuring the integrity of the specimen under test. This study extracts features from Pulsed eddy current (PEC) signals obtained in a linear scan, perpendicular to th

Green chemical method was applied to synthesize nanoparticles using recombinant bromelain. Among the numerous applications of recombinant bromelain, there is still no research on nanoparticles synthesis which encourages its utilization in this study. Four chemicals which are copper (II) chloride dihydrate (CuCl2.2H2O), cerium nitrate hexahydrate (C

Concrete construction industry is one of the major sector utilizing natural resources to produce concrete for building constructions. The rapid increase in building constructions and the demand for natural aggregates has resulted in depletion natural resources at an alarming rate. Uncontrolled mining activity worsens the situation. Thus serious awa
