ABSTRACT Islamic institutions including courts and fatwā have been in existence in Nigeria since the advent of Islam in the country. While the courts were established in order to adjudicate between disputant parties, muftīs were also used as assessors (court officials) responsible for assisting the courts in dispensation of justice. When the colo

This paper presents the development and performance characterization of new composite desiccants. The main compositions for the composite desiccants include silica gel, lithium chloride, calcium chloride and bentonite. Different percentage compositions of these four components were tested to determine the optimal material composition for improving

The exp(−F(h )) -expansion method is direct, concise and simple to carry out compared to other existing methods. In this article, we implement the exp(−F(h )) -expansion method through the nonlinear Phi-four equation, an instructive model arising in particle physics and the strain wave equation in microstructured solids to construct the exact p

In the Present paper effect of angle of incidence on Damping derivative of a delta wing with Curved leading edges (for a full sine wave) for attached shock case in Supersonic Flow has been studied. A Strip theory is used in which strips at different span wise location are independent of each other. This combines with similitude to give a piston the

In this paper, linear and non-linear stiff systems of ordinary differential equations are solved by the classical Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the multistage Adomian decomposition method (MADM). The MADM is a technique adapted from the standard Adomian decomposition method (ADM) where standard ADM is converted into a hybrid numeric-anal

Periodontal diseases are complex opportunistic infections modified by the host inflammatory response. Therefore, the current recommended treatment of periodontitis is primarily anti-infective in nature. Antiinfective approaches rely on adequate patient removal of plaque through good oral hygiene practices and mechanical debridement by an oral healt

Cancer is an extremely complicated disease and still presents enormous challenges, in the medical world. Drug-based chemotherapy treatment are usually applied especially to combat cancer that cannot be treated by any other cancer treating method. Up-to-date there are so many drugs been researched and discovered and some of them are at the different

An experimental study has been carried out to assess the effectiveness of the active control in the form of micro jets to control the base pressure in a suddenly expanded axi-symmetric duct. Four micro jets of 1mm orifice diameter located at 90 intervals along a pitch circle diameter of 1.3 times the nozzle outlet diameter in the base region are

The results from experiments with screen-printed a piezoelectric sensor, mounted on an artificial finger-tip and including a cosmetic covering, are shown to detect surface information from regular texture patterns. For the automatic control of an artificial hand and to feedback information to the amputee, an algorithm has been developed based on th
