In the mid-twentieth century, there were about half a million English words which doubled at the turn of the century. This spectacular vocabulary growth has taken place because of massive, continuous borrowings from different languages. However, concerning the inclusion of Arabic Islamic terms in English, this culture of borrowing has been less ent

The study explores the concept of collaborative information system among three main partners such as the government, universities and industries, which are involved in human capital development and workforce employment in any country. The idea of having collaboration among all these partners in information system is really vital, as in isolation th

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for solving a nonlinear equation. In our algorithm, the nonlinear system f (x) = 0 is solved by a homotopy method, in which a homotopy H (x,t) = f (x)-(1-t) f (x0) is introduced and the solution path of H(x, t) = 0 is followed from an obvious solution (x0,0)to the solution (x*,1) which we seek. An ordinary

This chapter is about design and hardware implementation of a signal conditioning circuit that has the ability to read the output response of a non-linear sensor and produce corresponding linear results. This design is based on piecewise linearization technique. First the non-linear output of the sensor's curve divided into the linear segment e

Currently, Femtocell technology emerged for cellular wireless networks, which has rapidly engrossed cellular industry. The principle of femtocell to the mobile operators is to reduce cost and improve signal quality in indoor coverage which is also considered a possible path to the fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) goal. Femtocell extends network cover

Leadership is critical to the success of all organization, higher institutions are no exception. Contemporary leadership theories and practices describe authentic leadership (AL) in relation to self-awareness, relational transparency, internalized moral perspective, and balance processing of information. The study examines the convergent and discri

Labour is one of the main resources required by contractors before any construction processes can be initiated. It is a well known fact that foreign labour dominated the workforce in the Malaysian construction industry. This paper reports on a preliminary study on foreign labour employment from contractor's perspective. The objective of the stu

Current-voltage measurements have been performed on InAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot structures with varying growth and design parameters. These measurements show that the forward and reverse bias dark currents decrease with increasing spacer growth temperature, however, they are relatively insensitive to the number of periods of the quantum dot layers

The smart grid is an electronically controlled electrical grid that connects power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumers using information communication technologies. One of the key characteristics of the smart grid is its support for bi-directional information flow between the consumer of electricity and the utility provider. This

The confiscations of properties left by the Royal family and the nationalization of large corporations and public companies following the Islamic Revolution in 1979 enlarged the State’s presence and activity in every sector of the economy, either through regular government agencies or public institutions such as charity foundations in Iran.
