The drawbacks of surgery and grafts pertaining to the chronic tendon ailments or aging factor have led to the emergence of promising alternative, engineered tendon tissues. The engineered tissue is capable to mimic the physiological function of the native tissue. The fundamental requirements of a bioreactor system to generate engineered tendon tiss

This paper is a continuation of our previous studies on nonlinear consensus which uni�es and generalizes all previous results. We consider a nonlinear protocol for a structured time-varying synchronous multi-agent system. We present an opinion sharing dynamics of the multi-agent system as a trajectory of non-autonomous polynomial stochastic opera

In this paper, we introduce a new class of the so-called p-majorizing quadratic stochastic operators which is the generalization of the class of quadratic doubly stochastic operators. We provide a criterion for the regularity of p-majorizing quadratic stochastic operators acting on 2D simplex. Some relevant examples are also provided.Theory of Stoc

Cancer is a disease which has high motility rate worldwide. The current treatment has a high potential to kill cancer cells, however it is lacking of specificity and therefore cause the side effects in normal cells. The alternate pathway has been explored including targeting to cancer cells via polyamine transport system (PTS). The PTS activity is

Additional of fibre in concrete creates fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) with an improvement of the mechanical properties of the concrete. However, additional of fibres in FRC has limited to 2% to allow normal mixing procedure. To address this issue, high performance fibre reinforced concrete (HPFRC) which is relatively new in construction industry

Plagiarism through the use of technology in education. To investigate attitude towards plagiarism among postgraduate students of selected universities in Malaysia.

Purpose –This study develops a hierarchical model based on Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) that enables ranking of a number of quality dimensions for achieving business excellence in the hotel industry of Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopted a sequential mix method approach wherein semi-structured intervie

Purpose This paper aims to examine the concepts of scarcity and abundance from an interdisciplinary perspective. It argues that the idea of economics, as the study of human behavior with regard to scarce resources and unlimited wants, leads to competition, confrontation and conflict, whereas the nature of humans is that of kindness, cooperation and

There is a close relationship between the Islamic conceptualization of curriculum and the nature of the Islamic faith. An Islamic curriculum can be defined as an integrated system of constant divine facts, criteria and values, as well as changing human experiences and items of learning and skills which an Islamic academic offers to learners therein

This study aims to provide empirical evidence on the Maqasid al-Shari’ah performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia for the period from 2012 to 2016. The Simple Additive Weighting (TSAW) is employed to obtain the performance of IBs according to the Maqasid al-Shari’ah. This study found that the Maqasid Index for Indonesia IBs within the range be
