We consider the sedimentation of a colloidal gel under confinement in the direction of gravity. The confinement allows us to compare directly experiments and computer simulations, for the same system size in the vertical direction. The confinement also leads to qualitatively different behaviour compared to bulk systems: in large systems gelation su

The pricing benchmark is usually used as a guide to calculate the rate of return of the financing. In the case of Malaysia, it is not known whether residential property values have significant relationship with the general performance of the economy. We propose that the house price index to be a viable benchmark of the real values of property to de

The current practice of the Islamic banks in Malaysia is relying on the market interest rate as the reference benchmark pricing for musyarakah mutanaqisah home financing. It has been a subject of intense debate among scholars, researchers, industry players, and policymakers. While it is not prohibited, Muslim scholars have highly discouraged this p

The Islamic financial institution offers home financing products which are fully compliant with the Shariah. However, these Islamic financial products are in the absence of a reference benchmark pricing which is free from the interest rate. There is a call for introducing a reference benchmark pricing an alternative to interest-based borrowing and

The effect of addition of poly(vinyl alcohol) on hydrothermal derived calcium phosphate cement has been studied. The precursors used to prepare the cement were calcium oxide (CaO) and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (NH4H2PO4); the reaction was conducted in water at 80-100°C. To improve properties of CPC, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) of 1wt% and 2wt% w

Trichophyton rubrum is a common pathogenic fungal species that is responsible for causing infection on human skin, hair and nail. The antifungal-resistant strains complicate the treatment regime. Hydroxychavicol (HC) is one of the main compounds from Piper betel leaf that have antifungal potential and its mechanism of action has not been studied ye

تحاول هذه الدراسة إلقاء الضوء على أفكار الشيخ محمد حسبي الصديقي المتعلقة بالقضايا المعاصرة من خلال تفسيريه النور والبيان، باعتبار أنه أحد علماء المسلمين الإندونيسيين البارزين في العلوم الشر

Objectives/Research Problem: The increasing of breast cancer cases from year to year is really worrying. It is ranked as the most common cancer occurs and the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Although there are many advance treatments available, the long term effect of the treatments on the patients cannot be ensured. Effective,

This article investigates a function f(x), constructed from the Nikol’skii class in S2. The estimation obtained will show that the Riesz mean of the spectral expansions is unable to be strengthened due to absence of localization caused by a singualrity at a definite point f(x), on the sphere8/25/2017 AIP Conference Proceedings: Vol 1830, No 1 htt

This study examines the problem of uniform convergence for the functions from the Nikolskii class. The uniform convergences for the Riesz means of the Fourier-Laplace series in the Nikolskii class Hpa(SN) proved under certain conditions.8/25/2017 AIP Conference Proceedings: Vol 1830, No 1 http://aip.scitation.org/toc/apc/1830/1?size=all&expande
