REFER to reports calling for a ban on shisha smoking and wonder if we are missing the bigger picture. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death. According to the World Health Organisation, more than five million people will die from tobacco-related heart attacks, strokes, cancer, lung ailments or other diseases this year. That does not

Background: Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is a pyrimidine catabolic enzyme involved in the initial and rate-limiting step of the catabolic pathway of toxic metabolites of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Several studies have reported that deficiency of DPD and polymorphisms of its gene are related to 5-FU toxicities and death. Association between ser

Generally, DaÑwah is defined as a struggle of the followers of a religion to convert people from other religions. This misrepresentation has not only created misunderstandings about Islam and Islamic movement, it has also affected negatively the image of Islam and Islamic movement in the world. Islam represents the truth concerning human life and

The increasing volume of sewage sludge as well as the municipal and agricultural waste produced and the total managing cost every year has been one of the major environmental issues in Malaysia. The production of cellulase from domestic sewage sludge could possibly bring an economic importance in certain industries as well as a key to solve the pro

In the present Note we study forward Quantum Markov Chains (QMC) defined on a Cayley tree. Using the tree structure of graphs, we give a construction of quantum Markov chains on the Cayley tree. By means of such constructions we prove the existence of a phase transition for the XY-model on a Cayley tree of order three in QMC scheme. By the phase tr

In this paper we prove the weak convergence of the implicit iterative process with errors to a common fixed point of an asymptotically quasi I-nonexpansive mapping T and an asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mapping I in Banach spaces.May 27, 2011 10:52 WSPC/INSTRUCTION FILE 09Ë™Mukhsab Asian-European Journal of Mathematics Vol. 4, No. 2 (2011) 309â

In the present paper, we study stability of the dynamical system corresponding quantum Markov chain (QMC) associated with the Ising model on Cayley tree of order two. To study certain properties of QMC we reduce our investigation to the study of dynamics of a nonlinear dynamical system. For such a dynamical system it is proved existence of exactly

This paper was sent to be published in the Journal of King Abdulaziz University for Islamic Economics. Also, it was presented in different title(1) in the Asia-Pacific Business Research Conference in Malysia, February 2011. The researchers highlighted the significant role of the Shari’ah corporate governance in the effectiveness and stability of

Quadratic dynamical systems have been proved to be a rich source of analysis for the investigation of dynamical properties and modeling in different domains. One of such operators is quadratic stochastic operator which naturally arises in modeling of a population dynamics. In this paper we introduce a new class of quadratic stochastic operators cal

In this paper we describe basin of attraction of p-adic dynamical system f(x) = ax(1-x2). Here we consider three major cases with respect to the parametera:|a|p< 1,|a|p=1 and |a|p>1. Attractors in the systems are being investigated to describe the trajectory and the behavior of the function. Moreover, we also describe the Siegel discs of th
