This paper investigates the perplexing issue of the democratic deficit in Africa's postliberation states. It seeks to answer why former African liberation movements failed to make a genuine transition to democracy during the second stage of the national liberation struggle, instead ofleaving behind authoritarian military regimes and one-party s

Recently, Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicles become a sustainable solution to strike a balance between performance and fuel economy. For a multimode PHEV, the car switches among three operation modes; namely electric mode, series mode, and parallel mode to maximize fuel economy based on the driving conditions. Atkinson thermodynamic cycle has a highe

The supply chain group consists of members from various locations in the network working together to deliver services to the client. Integration challenges remain as main issue for the group to create more flexible processes and allow modification to be made to the current and global pre-planned processes for the entire supply chain members in the

The influence of dispersant concentration on the physical properties of porous alumina ceramics formed by the protein foaming–consolidation method has been studied. Slurries of alumina powders, yolk, and dispersant were prepared by rigorously stirring the mixture for 3 h with an alumina-to-yolk ratio of 1 : 1 in weight and dispersantconcentration

The future integrated circuit would demand a combination of micromechanical components and traditional electronics. MEMS resonator is the one of future integrated circuit. MEMS resonators can provide CMOS compatibility and multifrequency operation on a single chip. In this paper, Two-Stage CMOS op amp for a MEMS-based oscillator is presented. The d

We demonstrate a polymer resonator microfluidic biosensor that overcomes the complex manufacturing procedures required to fabricate traditional devices. In this new format, we show that a gapless light coupling photonic configuration, fabricated in SU8 polymer, can achieve high sensitivity, label-free chemical sensing in solution and high sensitivi

Presentation Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which provides incremental information on cardiac physiology and tissue characterization, represents the gold-standard tool for assessment of cardiac function. The technology proved most helpful when a 38-year-old Asian man presented with exertional dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, and fever, sym

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of tobramycin pellet (OSTEOSET ® T) in eradicating osteomyelitis of long bone. Design: Retrospective case series Setting: Advance trauma and Limb reconstruction Unit, Dept of Orthopaedic, HTAA Patients/ participants: Patient treated for osteomyelitis of long bone in Advance trauma and

Background Myocardial scar and edema can be assessed by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and T2W cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) respectively, but each has important limitations. T1-mapping has emerged as an alternative method to characterize acute ischemic injury and contemporary mapping sequences make this clinically feasible. We assessed the T

In the 21st century, Organization Development (OD) is expected to awaken and grow the minds, hearts and spirits of managers and their organizations. We suggest sacred and transcendental approach for the above matter, in particular taking the wisdom of Sufism. OD then is being seen as a sacred sophialogical engagement with hikma as its base of actio
