Energy conversion technologies, where waste heat recovery systems are included, have received significant attention in recent years due to reasons that include depletion of fossil fuel, increasing oil prices, changes in climatic conditions, and global warming. For low temperature applications, there are many sources of thermal waste heat, and sever

Ordinary fixed controllers designed based on nominal parameters do not take into account the uncertainties present in and around the system and hence lose their effectiveness when subjected to uncertainties. To overcome this, a robust control system that accommodates uncertainties is crucial. Structural uncertainties could alter mass, damping and s

The majority of maps we deal with in different fields of research, particularly in Engineering, are nonlinear maps. For application, calculation, approximation and theoretical purposes the representation of such maps by matrices, around a fixed point, is important. The current paper deals with this problem in general finite dimensional case. The ma

Free Space Optics technology has gained acceptance in telecommunication industry mostly in enterprise campus network. However in tropical regions, rainfall is the dominant factor that degrades the FSO link performance and its availability. In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate the total path attenuation due to rain for Free Space Optical

The Arabic term ‘Ajami means Persian or Non-Arabic is used to describe the technique and the ornaments as well as the interior as a whole. The ‘Ajami decorations became very prominent throughout the Ottoman Empire after the decline of tile production and rose to sophisticated levels of art in Syria. ‘Ajami decoration is almost universal in th

This study was carried out to evaluate the pysical properties of stressed and non-stressed of matured and plantation grown Acacia hybrid. The mean of the specific gravity of timber from stressed and non-stressed of matured natural regenerated stand was 0.67 and 0.61 respectively.

Requirements for implemented system can be extracted and reused for a production of a new similar system. Extraction of common and variable features from requirements leverages the benefits of the software product lines engineering (SPLE). Although various approaches have been proposed in feature extractions from nat- ural language (NL) requirement

نجد عددا من رسائل الماجستير المتعلقة بالقرآن الكريم بقسم اللغة العربية، يؤكد صلة حميمة بين العلوم الإنسانية وما تعارفوا على تسميته بالعلوم الشرعية التِ قوامها القرآن والسنة، وترتي اللغة الع�

This paper seeks to explore the level of support investors attach to the social responsibility dimension in Islamic investment. The call to address this ‘neglected’ dimension as observed in the practice of Islamic finance is emphasized in the face of the rapidly growing Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) industry in the West and other develo
