The bulk appearance of arrays of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT arrays or CNT forests) is dark as they absorb most of the incident light. In this paper, two postprocessing techniques have been described where the CNT forest can be patterned by selective bending of the tips of the nanotubes using a rigid cylindrical tool. A tungsten tool

A consensus problem of multi-agent systems has been considered a dual problem to Markov chains. Historically, an idea of reaching consensus through linear repeated averaging was introduced by DeGroot (see [1]) for a structured time-invariant and synchronous environment. Since that time, the consensus which is the most ubiquitous phenomenon of multi

Historically, an idea of reaching consensus through repeated averaging was introduced by DeGroot (see [1, 3]) for a structured time-invariant and synchronous environment. Since that time, the consensus which is the most ubiquitous phenomenon of multi-agent systems becomes popular in various scientific communities, such as biology, physics, control

A double stochastic operator is a generalization of a double stochastic matrix. In this paper, we study the dynamics of double stochastic operators. We give a criterion for a regularity of a double stochastic operator in terms of absences of its periodic points. We provide some examples to insure that, in general, a trajectory of a double stochasti

The Muslim Friendly Hotel has been discussed since 1982 and one of the prior parts is to provide comfortable and affordable rooms to guests especially Muslim tourist. It’s related to the hospitality in Islam, which give good services to the guest in term of place to stay. However, even though in Malaysia there are nearly 3000 hotels that contribu

The Malay Muslims are the majority of the Malaysian population. They are the products of the Malaysian government’s institutionalization of Islam that was intended to create modern Malay Muslims that are economically savvy, religiously conservative and politically subservient. The Malaysian media system has been strictly protected to ensure that

This article explores online news ability to on set the agendas of its readers on Facebook. Due to the decline in printed circulation, most contemporary newspaper organizations have opted to share their content on social media, most specifically, Facebook. By doing this, newspaper organizations are able to reach wider readership as well as facilita

Every democratic country has to go through the general election where political candidates must convince the public to vote for them. In recent years, Facebook has become one of the most popular social media used in election campaigning. Due to its popularity and easy access to the public, Facebook offers election candidates the ability to personal

This study is an attempt to examine empirically the best ARIMA model for forecasting. The monthly time series data routinely-collected at Orthopedic clinic from January 2013 until June 2018 have been used for this purpose. At first the stationarity condition of the data series is observed by ACF and PACF plots, then checked using the Ljung-Box-Pier

In this paper, a two-element microstrip antenna array with a compatible 1:2 Wilkinson Power Divider operating at 9.5 GHz for X-band application is presented. The design, simulation and optimization of this work are performed using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio. The proposed design is shown to exhibit good simulation performa
