The feminist tradition in what is now Bangladesh took off with Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain (1880-1932) who arguably foregrounds her ideas in Islamic, indigenous culture and exerts a posthumous public influence. However, about one hundred years after Rokeya, Taslima Nasrin (1962-) produced a number of works most critical of Islam, such as Amar Meyebela
Dark current-voltage measurements undertaken on a series of InAs based quantum dot laser structures show significant variations depending on the growth conditions of the GaAs barrier layer. A systematic study of their temperature dependence suggests that the main mechanism determining the reverse leakage is due to generation–recombination via mid
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for solving a nonlinear equation. In our algorithm, the nonlinear system f (x) = 0 is solved by a homotopy method, in which a homotopy H (x,t) = f (x)-(1-t) f (x0) is introduced and the solution path of H(x, t) = 0 is followed from an obvious solution (x0,0)to the solution (x*,1) which we seek. An ordinary
The Muslim World and the West share the same global village but each has a different civilizations and worldview. Education is seen as a major vehicle in transmitting ideas, attitudes and beliefs. This paper begins with a brief history of the educational links between the West and the Muslim World and later discusses the role of educational institu
Labour is one of the main resources required by contractors before any construction processes can be initiated. It is a well known fact that foreign labour dominated the workforce in the Malaysian construction industry. This paper reports on a preliminary study on foreign labour employment from contractor's perspective. The objective of the stu
Current-voltage measurements have been performed on InAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot structures with varying growth and design parameters. These measurements show that the forward and reverse bias dark currents decrease with increasing spacer growth temperature, however, they are relatively insensitive to the number of periods of the quantum dot layers
