This paper discusses the core constituent of Islamic religion namely al-tawhid as the first level or principle of the religion and its role in defining or influencing the other layers or dimensions of Islamic religiosity. Its objectives are 1) to demonstrate an integrated Islamic approach in the study of religion and society/culture, and 2) to prov

British policy was to preserve and protect the Malay race on the assumption that they, despite being the majority, are historically a disadvantaged race. In addition, they were in need of economic protection against the more aggressive immigrants. Therefore, with the declaration of independence in 1957, a new written constitution was formulated for

Cellulase production was carried out by solid state bioconversion (SSB) method using rice straw, a lignocellulosic material and agricultural waste, as the substrate of three Trichoderma spp. and Phanerochaete chrysosporium in lab-scale experiments. The results were compared to select the best fungi among them for the production of cellulase. Phaner

Rhazya stricta is a small glabrous shrub, widely distributed throughout Western Asia from Yemen to Arabia, to the North West Province of India and abundantly found in various regions of Pakistan. Larvicidal and antifungal studies of polar and non polar aerial parts extracts of Rhazya stricta were performed using brine shrimps larvae for larvicidal

The evolution, from 1 to 10 days after germination, of flavonoid content in sprouts of tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn.), grown in a greenhouse under low light conditions (16 mmol m�2 s�1), was investigated. Chlorogenic acid and flavonoids including C-glycosylflavones (orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, isovitexin), rutin and quercet

Iso-α-acids are known to contribute to the characteristic bitter taste of beer. Six iso-α-acids were isolated from a carbon dioxide extract of the cones of Humulus lupulus L. by centrifugal partition chromatography followed by separation through β- cyclodextrin binding. This method overcame the low yield issue of most isolation procedures that r

This paper presents a study of the development of a surface roughness model in end milling of hardened steel AISI D2 using PVD TiAIN coated carbide cutting tool. The hardness of AISI D2 tool lies within the range of 56-58 HRe. The independent variables or the primary machining parameters selected for this experiment were the cutting speed, feed, an

This paper presents a study of the development of a tool life model in end milling of hardened steel AISI D2 using PVD TiAlN coated carbide cutting tool. The hardness of AISI D2 tool lies within the range of 56-58 HRC. The independent variables or the primary machining parameters selected for this experiment were the cutting speed, feed, and depth
