Waqaf institution was most central in financing socio-religious and public welfare systems during the early days of Islam. More importantly, the contribution of philanthropic endowment(waqf khayri) substantially financed and sustained the social welfare institutions in Muslim societies. Gradually, however, the creation of this type of waqf dwindled

The whole plant extract of plant Sceletium tortuosum, plant native to South Africa, has been known traditionally to have mood enhancing and stimulant properties. These properties have been confirmed before by proving serotonin-uptake inhibition activity. A further confirmation by using CB1 receptor binding assay has been performed in this study. Th

The effective use of an E-Government (EG) Portal depends on the ability of people to utilize electronic services. One of the main challenges in developing the EG Portal is selecting usability design guidelines that addressed the overall EG functions. Most government agencies tend to design their portal based on existing guidelines that are not dire

In this paper metrics are produced which may be used for performance enhancement in Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) protocols. The method described makes use of the concept of link availability estimates which are produced on an individual link basis and which may be combined by multiplication to produce a quality metric for the whole route. The

Background: High prevalence of high-risk behaviours and concurrent medical illnesses among opioid drug users would influence the outcome of Methadone Maintenance Programme. It would also require a special medical attention to contain these issues. Objectives: This study explored patients’ characteristics and their high-risk behaviours in order to

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the next generation wireless system that uses Break-before-Connect technology in the handover scheme, unlike handover in the Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) that uses Connect-before- Break technology. In the LTE system, handover is one of the important radio resource management schemes that are responsib

This cross-linguistic study traces the patterns of Malay and English linguistic subsystems and investigates similarities and differences between them. It focuses on the lexico-grammatical features of the two languages and in particular, on present time temporal references. The data collection of this study involved the production of Malay and Engli

In this paper we report on the electrical impedance spectroscopy characterization of endothelial cell lines (RFPEC). For electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) of the endothelial cells a commercially available eight-well cell culture impedance array (ECIS-8W1E) was used. The impedance measurements were recorded with cell culture medium

We give a defination of doubly stoshastic quadratic operator, defined on infinite demensional space and prove necessary condition for doubly stochasticity of such operators.
