In this paper, we study a bi-quadratic equation x^4 + ax^2 = b over p-adic fields Q_p. It is worth of mentioning that the bi-quadratic equation x^4 + 1 = 0 is not solvable in the real number field R. However, the same bi-quadratic equation x^4 + 1 = 0 is solvable some p-adic fields such as p = 17, 41, ... Therefore, it is of independent interest to

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the vital importance of dispute management in cases of both near and outright sukuk defaults. With the case studies, this study examines the vital importance of dispute management in cases of both near and outright sukuk defaults.

Generally, one of the most important factors that establish the veracity of particular facts is the evidence adduced to support such facts. Just as a lawyer in a court of law is required to adduce evidence to support his or her statement of fact, a legal research is required to provide the relevant details, sources, and references to justify any st

Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate (EPMC), a major constituent of the Kaempferia galanga rhizome, was transformed to ethyl p-hydroxycinnamate (EPHC) using Aspergillus niger. The EPHC metabolite was elucidated by NMR spectroscopic technique. Antimicrobial microbial study found that EPHC was active against all strains tested with a good minimum inhibitory conc

Biotransformation of fatty acid from Malaysian catfish, Clarias gariepinus oil was carried out using Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The lipid from freeze-dried catfish flesh was extracted using a modified Folch method with chloroform-methanol mixture as an extracting solvent. The crude lipid substrate was added to P. aeruginosa culture and incubated for 4

This paper works on the curvature composite structure for wing leading edge application using fabric carbon/epoxy material subjected to impact loading. At first stage, rigid spherical projectile and elliptical panel with were used. The impact testing has been carried out by varying the radius of curvature, the thickness of the panel and different s

As part of the transformation programme of the Malaysian government to make the country a sustainable global hub for Islamic finance, the necessary legal and regulatory frameworks need to be scaled up to meet the challenges of the time. While the regulatory authorities, such as Bank Negara Malaysia, have constantly introduced unprecedented reforms

Malaysia, apart from being recognised as a global hub for Islamic finance, is gradually emerging as a major arbitration hub in the Asia-Pacific region. While there are other world-class arbitral institutions in the region, Malaysia stands a chance to lead the region when it comes to Islamic finance arbitration. Therefore, in order to examine the su

With the increasing expansion of the global Islamic finance industry beyond its traditional strongholds, there is a gradual increase in the global franchising opportunities in Islamic finance. As one of the pioneering studies on franchise in Islamic finance, this paper examines the Malaysian legal framework on franchising within the Islamic finance
