In such an environment, Islamic bankers would need to know whether the Mauritian population is willing to accept this new form of banking. This study atte

Background: This study aims to determine if continuous infusion (CI) of beta-lactam antibiotics achieves the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) targets for time-dependent bacterial killing and/or are associated with improved clinical outcomes compared to intermittent bolus (IB) dosing in critically ill patients with severe sepsis.

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has long been laden with tension and instability. However, the recent Arab Uprisings, better known as the Arab Spring, have intensified volatility, turning this “hot-spot” into a veritable tinderbox whose potential for explosion has far-reaching national, regional and global implications. This review anal

A generalized algorithm for a Combined Nonlinear Control and Estimation CNCE process for spacecraft attitude and orbit determination and control is pre-sented. The approach tends to eliminate the delays due to the separation be-tween the estimation and control processes. Also, it minimizes the possibility of control degradation due to estimator div

We discuss the dynamical properties of quantum entanglement and partial entropy for moving three-level atom interacting with single-mode quantized field inside a phase-damped cavity for more general cases. The results show that the atomic motion and decoherence effects play an important role on the evolution of the system dynamics and quantum entan

This resource book is published in conjunction with the World Week for Peace in Palestine Israel (WWPPI), an initiative of the Palestine-Israel Ecumenical Forum of the World Council of Churches. It is based on the topic of Palestinian prisoners and the theme explored in the last year, “Let my people go.” The choice of the theme clearly undersco

Painting is an important process in the automotive assembly to give more attractive appearance to the vehicles and to provide the layer of protection against corrosion and weathering. The objective of this paper is to identify and analyze the factors affecting the quality of painting process at Company RST’s Paint Shop. The paint shop was unable

The demand for unmanned aircraft vehicles, UAV, has grown quite significantly in recent years. It is therefore important to implement efficient and accurate computer controlled navigation algorithms on such vehicles to guarantee the successful and reliable delivery of the vehicle to its final destination. This paper describes algorithms that use th
