In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for increasing the throughput in cognitive radio networks by forming coalitions among cognitive radio users in AWGN and fading channel environment. Although there have been numerous studies exploring the benefits of coalition formation in cognitive radio networks from the game theory perspective, there a

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for improving spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks by forming coalitions among cognitive radio users in a fading channel environment. We use concepts from matching theory, specifically the stable marriage problem, to formulate the interactions among the cogni- tive radio users as a matching game f

From the early days of Islam, dynamics of Islamic education in the entire Muslim world have always been associated with the teaching of the holy Qur’an. At the basic elementary level, institutions which provided Qur’an education were often supervised by the ruling authorities, private charitable philanthropists, or pious and people. This educat

With the advent of communication technology evolution, learning becomes flexible and accessible at any time and anywhere. Educational technology researchers have extensively integrated the Theory of Acceptance Model (TAM) and Planned Behavior to link the beliefs and actions in mobile learning. This study attempted to predict a hypothesized model of

Canting or ‘tjanting’ is a traditional hand tool that is used to apply wax in lines and fine dots on a cloth to create beautiful batik designs. In this study, the thermal and structural characteristics of the wax determined via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy respectively. The actual te

Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) has several advantages compared to conventional systems such as higher machine utilization, higher efficiency, less inventory, and less production time. On the other hand, FMS is expensive and complicated. One of the main problems that may happen is the deadlock. Deadlock is a case that happens when one operation

In Malaysia, Kelantan has been well known to experience the flood disaster almost every year. Flood has been considered as a very common disaster in Kelantan, especially during the end of the year. However, the flood in December 2014 has been considered as one of the biggest which had caused massive destruction in many areas in Kelantan especially

The principle of antigen–antibody interaction is exploited for immunosensor development. Over the years, immunosensors have been fabricated for different applications, and the fabrication process has benefited from the use of nanomaterials. Graphene, a single-atom-thick layer of carbon, has been used to coat the sensing electrodes of immunosensor

Ethics is a discipline that deals with “the science of conduct”, which is concerned with two opposing dimensions of moral action such as right or wrong, good or bad, and virtue or vice. In the context of Islamic finance, ethics has become a vital component in the financial services sectors in order to provide “value” for consumers. Unfortun

Medical disputes amongst medical professionals and their patients are seen to be inevitable, particularly, when patients suffer adverse outcome in medical treatment. The occurrences of death and physical injuries tend to trigger claims in the court of law. Consequently, medical professionals may be subjected to criminal proceedings although their a
