This paper seeks to explore the relationship of Islamic da‘wah with the themes and concerns of sustainability, granting special attention to the

Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) are used for generating surface topography of samples at micro to atomic resolutions. Many commercial AFMs use piezoelectric tube nanopositioners for scanning. Scanning rates of these microscopes are hampered by the presence of low frequency resonant modes. When inadvertently excited, these modes lead to high amplitud

Character rigging is a process of endowing a character with a set of custom manipulators and controls making it easy to animate by the animators. These controls consists of simple joints, handles, or even separate characters selection windows. This research paper present an automated rigging system for quadruped characters with customs control and

To examine experimentally the influence of head-tip morphology on electrical and mechanical properties at the contact with a phosphor bronze, cantilevertype microconnectors of Ni–Co alloys were prepared by an electroplating technique. Here, the mol fraction y of Co in the Ni–Co alloy is 0.178, 0.204, 0.233 and 0.299. Among these alloys, the Vic
