The effect of cubic-quintic nonlinearity and associated intercomponent couplings on the modulational instability �MI� of plane-wave solutions of the two-component discrete nonlinear Schrödinger �DNLS� equation is considered. Conditions for the onset of MI are revealed and the growth rate of small perturbations is analytically derived. For

اشتهر ابن دريد لغوياً، وذاع سيطه معجمياً، وتعدَّدت الدراسات حوله في هذين المجالين، وعلى الرغم من وقوف الدارسين على كتابه الاشتقاق، وبيان أهميته بوصفه من الكتب الأولى التي أُلفَّت في رد الأسم�

A new technique of fiber break detection system in optical communication networks is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in this paper. This technique is based-on continuous wave light source rather than pulsed source that is commonly deployed in existing techniques. The nonlinear effect of stimulated Brillouin scattering is manipulated to loc

Satellite links operating at frequencies above 10GHz in the tropics typically suffer severe signal degradation due to rain. The study attempts to investigate the impacts of rain on the performance of satellite-Earth links at V-band frequency. Attenuation due to rain at 38GHz had been measured for a period of 20 months in Malaysia. Studies are being

TA’WIL MUKHTALIF AL-HADITH: AN ANNOTATED TRANSLATION is a work of translation of an Arabic text into English. This text is worthy to be translated because it deals with the needs to understand and appreciate (1) the reason behind the citation of the hadith of the Prophet, (2) the dynamism of the context of the hadith of the Prophet, (3) the corre

This paper is based on the author's summary of his current book "Out of the lizard's hole" that he wrote as a response to his earlier provocative book 'Dilemma of Muslim Psychologists."

We attempted to investigate possible hepatoprotective effect of Eurycoma longifolia jack (ELJ) using carbon tetrachloride (CC14)-induced acute hepatotoxicity model in rats. Hepatotoxicity was induced by oral administration of 4.0 mg/kg of CCI4 in corn oil (1:1) once to one experimental group of 5 rats. In three other similar groups, challenged dose

The materials response under high energy impact loads was studied using a gas gun. The projectiles were pins 1.2-1.5 mm in diameter and weighing 0.347-0.435 g. The projectile velocity was in the range 100–1300 m/s. The remnant load carrying capability of composite samples after high velocity impact tests was measured to quantify high energy impac

This research aims at developing an Advance Video Analysis System (AVAS) which can be used in wide range of video surveillance applications as well as to detect moving objects and human beings. The AVAS is able to detect and track interested objects along with human. It recognizes activities in an application environment, such as in a room, superma
