Introduction: Organophosphate (OP) is hydrolyzed by paraoxonase (PON1), an antioxidant enzyme that prevent atherosclerosis by inhibiting oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Low PON1 activities have been observed among individuals chronically exposed to OP while their decreased activities were reported in individuals with athero

This paper seeks to establish whether the Malaysian ringgit, as a fiat currency, satisfies the store of value function of money. Since the collapse of the gold standard, the migration of the medium of exchange from a commodity standard to fiat money backed by debt, has not only resulted in a significant decay in intrinsic value but also involves a

We introduce an effectively one-dimensional model of a bosonic gas of particles carrying collinear dipole moments which are induced by an external polarizing field with the strength periodically modulated along the coordinate, which gives rise to an effective nonlocal nonlinear lattice in the condensate. The existence, shape and stability of bright

The funding of infrastructure projects via the issuance of sukuk or Islamic bonds is emerging as a popular funding alternative to conventional bonds. However, there are certain risks when funding infrastructure projects. This paper aims to identify and profile risks associated with funding infrastructure projects from the issuance of sukuk, through

Islam encourages collaboration in all aspects of life, in which leadership and teamwork play important roles. This Islamic obligation is pursued by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education’s “Teaching and Learning Taxonomy;” in which leadership and teamwork are among some of the basic soft skills that must be developed throughout the studen

The problem of mitigating narrowband interference (NBI) due to coexistence between Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) and International Mobile Telecommunication-Advanced (IMT-A) system is considered. It is assumed that a spectrum of IMT-A system between 790-862 MHz interfere the spectrum of the OFDM signal in DVB-T band. Two types of co

We report a case of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), a rare multisystem disorder characterized by difficult-to-control asthma, hypereosinophilia and polyneuropathy. We also discuss the Five Factor Score (FFS) risk stratification strategy, which is used to quantitate the extent of the disease and guide treatment strategy.69 THE

We study the χ(2) system of equations with the PT-symmetric potentials. We obtain exact solitary wave solutions for this system for some forms of the PT-symmetric potentials.This content has been downloaded from IOPscience. Please scroll down to see the full text.

The resonant scattering of gap solitons of the periodic NLS equation with a PT-symmetric defect is investigated. For suitable parameters of the defect potential the resonant transmission of soliton through the defect becomes possible.NM4A.1.pdf Advanced Photonics © 2014 OSA Scatteringof GapSolitonsbyPT-symmetric Defects F.Kh.Abdullaev1, V.A.Brazhn

The present book attempts to present Islamic ethics first from its multifaceted nature; ethics as akhlaq is presented from the psychological, educational and spiritual aspects and every bit of character building or ethic is supported by pertinent verses of the Holy Qur'an, the stories of the Prophets and the sirah and shama'il of our belove
