Venom is a mixture of biologically active toxins that affect normal physiological functions. With the advance in technology, the complexity and functions of venom and its toxins are slowly being revealed. It has become important source for therapeutic, diagnostic and cosmetic agents. However, there is concern among the Muslim community pertaining t

Abstract: This article discusses selected worldwide indicators on quality of life vis-à-vis liveability. It comprises indicators promulgated by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Mercer (The global human resources consulting firm) and Monocle (The culture and lifestyle magazine). By index, the EIU refers it as Global Liveability Index; Mercer

In this paper, the theoretical simulation of all-pass microring resonator is performed by considering the plasma dispersion effect. The plasma dispersion contributes in changing the refractive index and resonance wavelength by manipulating the carrier concentration in silicon waveguide. The system requires a sandwich design of silicon microring wav

Rainfall in tropical environments acts as a dominant parameter for estimating the availability of free-space optics (FSO). Long fades are caused by precipitation in particular heavy rains, and this precipitation increases atmospheric attenuation due to rain and reduces the availability of optical power from FSO links. In this paper, the link availa

Amphibians are known to possess a moist integumentary system which plays a vital role in its cutaneous respiration. In addition to this, its skin also possesses granular and mucus glands which secrete several potent bioactive compounds that enable them to protect themselves against predators and microbial infection. Recent development in technology

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is self-organized and self-configured networks that doesn’t need any cellular infrastructure such as access point (AP), base station (BS) or fixed transmission links. Routing is point of research focus since the invention of commercialized mobile ad-hoc networks. In the literature the classical taxonomy of MANETs r

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is a type of wireless networks which consist of a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a self-configured and self-organized network without any need for using existing infrastructure or centralized administration. Recently video streaming over MANETs technology received a huge attention from the researchers an

This book aims to illustrate Adibah Amin’s of the influence of social conditioning and normalisation on people’s thoughts and behaviourin both volumes of As I Was Passing (2007) as well as in Glimpses: Cameos of Malaysian Life (2008). This is achieved through three objectives: first, highlighting her representation of the procedures of panoptic

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the chemical and biological properties of fast-set white mineral trioxide aggregate (FS WMTA), which was WMTA combined with calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2·2H2O), compared to that of WMTA. Materials and Methods: Surface morphology, elemental, and phase analysis were examined using scanning electron micros

Recognition of handwritten numerals has gained much interest in recent years due to its various application potentials. Bangla is a major language in Indian subcontinent and is the first language of Bangladesh; but unfortunately, study regarding handwritten Bangla numeral recognition (HBNR) is very few with respect to other major languages such as
