The complexity of an interconnection network often determines the size of the parallel computer and thus the attainable performance of a parallel computer is limited by the characteristics of the interconnection network. Pruning technique reduces the complexity and hence increases the performance. In this paper, we apply the pruning technique on Hi

In this paper, a neural-network based robust adaptive controller is proposed to control an industrial robot considering non- linearities, uncertainties and external perturbations. Three-axis SCARA robots is used to test the performance of this controller. The nonlinear system is treated as a partially known system. The known dynamic is used to desi

Wheat is the second staple food of Bangladesh. In this paper we constructed a dynamic model for wheat price. Basically we constructed a single equation autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model of the price (quarterly wholesale wheat price). Standard ARIMA analysis rests on the simplifying assumption that the time series is stationary.

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are dynamically self-organized and self-configured, with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an ad hoc network and preserving the mesh connectivity. There are several features which might help to design an efficient routing protocol suitable for wireless mesh networks such as improved performance metric

Abandoned Child or the foundling in general refers to a child who is abandoned by his parents or guardian and his status is unknown. Issue on abandoned children (foundlings) is not new in Malaysia. It has come to attention and discussion since 1980. Despite enactment and amendment of law on child protection, statistics have shown the increased numb

Islamic law imposes a duty on the husband to maintain his wife. This duty arises as soon as the marriage contract is completed. The duty arises as soon as the marriage contract is completed. The duty to maintain her continues until the contract of marriage ends either through death or separation. This paper seeks to examine the provisions of Islami

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the association between audit committee effectiveness and timeliness of reporting. Specifically, the paper investigates whether there is any relationship between effectiveness of an audit committee and submission of audited financial statements to the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). Design/method

This article seeks to explore the ethical dimension of the concept of Raḥmatan lil ‘Ālamīn (mercy for all creatures). It aims at the analysis of this concept through the history of Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.)’s life. The significance of this study lays on the application of this concept in contemporary context. This research starts with a b

Instead of dismissing traditional mythology and poetry as heresies, Greek philosophy introduced a methodology of understanding known as allegory. Philo of Alexandria (20 BC–50 AD) was one of the first to employ allegory for understanding religious scriptures whose writings survived in the Christian traditions. In the Arab world, the philosopher I

Tumor cells with tumorigenic potential might be limited to a small population of cells, called cancer-initiating cells (CICs). CICs efficiently form colonies in vitro, yield both CIC and non-CIC populations, maintain reactive oxygen species (ROS) at low levels, show high aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity, and are mostly in a quiescent state of
