Various networking technologies and terms have been coined in the last couple of decades. The dynamism in networking technologies and applications has paved the way for work on multitudes of research areas. While some areas can be broken into more sub-areas and topics, there is a trend among researchers to think about combining different technologi

Building customer trust is a huge problem in the cloud computing paradigm. Today, hundreds of companies around the world are offering cloud services in major or minor scale with global or local reach. In spite of the availability of numerous establishments for cloud services, there is a critical link missing with the customers - and that is the lac

Sorting the retrieved results from the most relevant to the least relevant is the common option of an Information Retrieval System (IRS). This sorting mechanism or relevance judgment is computed by measuring closeness of query with its documents. The purposes of this study were to measure the relevance status of Index Islamicus, evaluate the semant

Aims: Scorpion venoms contain complex mixtures of molecules, including peptides. These peptides specifically bind to various targets, in particular ion channels. Toxins modulating Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Cl − currents were described from venoms. The Androctonus and Buthus geni of scorpions are widely distributed in Morocco. Their stings can cause pain,

A lack of aquatic plants in aquatic ecosystem may suggest a reduced population of wildlife whereas the absence of aquatic plants may indicate problems in water quality. However an overabundance of aquatic plants may due to excessive nutrients, organic or heavy metals interference. Aquatic plants are well known as a good accumulator for heavy metals

Over the past decade, medical tourism has been growing progressively in developing countries of Eastern Europe, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Middle East. This paper aims to conceptually understand medical tourists’ (or consumers) intentional behaviour to destined countries of their choice within the ‘Halal’ (Permissible) medical tourism se

The awareness towards Shariah compliant concept to be implementing in Hotel sector has been discussed since 1982. An extensive literature and research described variety of approaches and methods to improve the understanding of the concept. Specifically in many of the hotel operations, one of the prior parts is to provide comfortable and affordable

Aquatic plants or macrophytes are beneficial to fresh water bodies because they produce oxygen, which assists with overall fresh water bodies functioning, and provide food and shelter for aquatic living organisms. A lack of aquatic plants in a freshwater bodies system where they are expected to occur may suggest a reduced population of macro and mi

This study aimed at establishing callus cultures as an alternative research tool to study the regulatory mechanisms of the carotenoid biosynthesis in plant through a controlled environment. Previous studies established that selasih or O. basilicum is rich with carotenoids such as neoxanthin, lutein, violaxanthin, α-carotene and ß-carotene. Intere

Abiotic stress factors are the main limitation to plant growth and yield in agriculture. Orange sweet potatoes may become major sources of carotenoids in the diet, but the extent of environmental and genetic influences on plant carotenoid biosynthesis are poorly understood. Carotenoid biosynthesis is regulated by several factors such as water, ligh
