The debate over free trade and protection of the environment has been on the table of the WTO since its very inception. In 2001, the Doha Development Agenda initiated a set of negotiations on the relationship between the WTO and MEAs. However, the negotiations have so far failed to yield any tangible result. This paper examines the adequacy of the

The League of Arab States (LAS) has placed an equally important attention on economic matters whereby the Economic and Social Council of the League adopted resolution No. 1317 of the 1980 Amman Summit declaring the establishment of a Pan-Arab Free Trade Area. This paper investigates whether or not the LAS possesses the necessary prerequisites for a

Many of the current Malaysian medical information and emergency systems are still paper-based and stand alone systems that do not fully utilize the Internet, multimedia, wireless and real time technologies. This research work focuses on developing an integrated Emergency, Healthcare, and Medical Information System (IEHMS) that can overcome many of

Professional Ethics which concern one’s conduct of behavior and practice when carrying out professional work needs Itqan. The word Itqan is an Arabic word which has a close meaning to the English word perfection. Islam as a perfect and comprehensive religion set the bases for quality work. The order, discipline, accuracy, beautiful work, well tho

This paper presents an approach to establish models for tool life in end milling of titanium alloy Ti-6AI-4V using PCD inserts under dry conditions. Small central composite design (CCD) was employed in developing the tool life model in relation to primary cutting parameters such as cutting speed, axial depth of cut and feed. Flank wear has been con

The segments of DNA molecule, called genes are known to carry useful information in their protein coding regions (exons) and are responsible for protein synthesis. The most popular frequency domain technique for gene identification is by using a sliding window DFT technique to locate the well known period-3 property in DNA sequences. This paper inv

The effect of locating wireless sensors on a monitored patient’s body on the performance of routing protocols is studied. Results indicate a considerable difference in sensor node forwarding activity, power consumption, and routing load as a function of sensor height. The Results motivate exploiting this criteria to develop new energy-efficient

Natural rubber latex and various milks produced by mammals are stabilised by proteins, and are examples of natural colloidal systems. In fact, milk casein has been for a long while isolated, to be later incorporated in manufactured products. Numerous work involving natural substances in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and toiletries have been reported a

The League of Arab States (LAS) was formed in 1945 with the objective of unifying the Arab countries through political, educational, cultural and economic cooperation. In its efforts to expand the traditional focus of attention beyond political issues, it has placed an equally important attention on economic matters whereby the Economic and Social

The design and preliminary evaluation of a pressure sensor-based typing biometrics authentication system (PBAS) is discussed in this paper. This involves the integration of pressure sensors, signal processing circuit, and data acquisition devices to generate waveforms, which when concatenated, produce a pattern for the typed password. The system ge
