This paper aims to fill an apparent dearth of empirical studies that compare the efficiency of Islamic banks in Malaysia during their operation as Islamic windows and later transformation to full-fledged Islamic banks. Data obtained from the annual financial reports of the sampled banks is analyzed using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) via DEAP

Wire electro-discharges machining (WEDM) is a variant of electro-discharge machining (EDM) based method for non-contact machining that uses wire as the machining tool. Micro-EDMing/micro-WEDMing (where discharge energy is very low and tool size in micrometer range) operation of silicon (Si) can achieve features with very complex shapes, which have

This paper investigates the dynamic causal linkages in the daily returns among five ASEAN Shariahcompliant indices (such as, FTSEMY index, MSSNGIL index, JAKSEIS index, MSTHFIL index and MSPHISL index) through the application of the standard time series techniques. Essentially, the purpose of this research is to identify the extent of linkages of I

The nonlinear characteristics of wet scrubbing process have led to the application of intelligent control technique to adequately deal with these complexities by manipulating the liquid droplet size for the effective control of particulate matter (PM) contaminants. This includes the use of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to design an

Compacton matter waves are considered in Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) and in binary BEC mixtures, trapped in deep optical lattices in the presence of strong and rapid periodic time modulations of the atomic scattering length, are considered. For this, we derive vector averaged discrete nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations (DNLSE) and show that comp

Overweight person experiences 2.9-4.7 times load of the bodyweight at the knee joint during walking. Research has shown that two main muscles which are vastus medial and gastrocnemius muscles contribute to the stressing of the knee joint during walking. In this research a light weight exoskeleton consisting of a frame and a compression spring with

This study aimed to identify the level of cultural accommodation through it aspects (social, psychological and academic) students at the Institute of Arabic Language at the Islamic University, and the relationship between that accommodation and the language acquisition. The main problem of this study has been identified through this question: What

تمثل المقاصد القرآنية مكوِّناً رئيساً لهذا البحث، حيث ينظر الباحث في حجم التميز الذي قدمه ابن عاشور في تفسيره التحرير والتنوير، والذي جعل من تفسيره قاعدة لإعمال المقاصد في التفسير، وذلك من خل

ملخص البحث يهدف هذا البحث إلى وضع معالم للتفسير المقاصدي باعتباره نوعاً تفسيرياً يبحث في دلالات النص وغاياته وعلله مع الاستفادة من قواعد التفسير الأخرى كاللغة والمأثور والسياق وأسباب النزول

There is controversy over whether traditional intermittent bolus dosing or continuous infusion of beta-lactam antibiotics is preferable in critically ill patients. No significant difference between these two dosing strategies in terms of patient outcomes has been shown yet. This is despite compelling in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic/pharmacodyn
