This paper proposed a new sensitivity analysis approach using the linguistic hedges in fuzzy environment. At the first place, the linguistic hedge was briefly described with emphasis on the two types, namely concentration and dilation. Afterwards the power of concentration or dilation was employed to represent the strength of the hedges. A fully li

In this paper, we suggest a method to solve the multispecies Lotka-Voltera equations. The suggested method, which we call modified homotopy perturbation method, can be considered as an extension of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) which is very efficient in solving a varety of differential and algebraic equations. The HPM is modified in order

Rapid development and commercialisation within the emerging fi eld of Islamic finance provide strong evidence of its sustainability. The Islamic finance industry has experienced remarkable growth, expanding into a market worth more than US$1 trillion. This consistent growth, along with the industry’s proven ability to safely navigate a global rec

In this study, we applied a new algorithm based on Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) to evaluate the temperature distribution of a straight rectangular fin with temperature dependent surface heat flux for all possible types of heat transfer. The local heat transfer coefficient is considered to vary with a power-law function of temperature. The tim

The present study is aimed at identifying the attributes of perfection in traditional doctrines. It will address the archetypal qualities by which certain individuals throughout the history of East and West-also within the worldviews of ancient myths, spiritual orders and official religions were regarded as heroes, sages, saints or prophets. In the

This article aims to focus on legal maxims related to financial transactions to explore whether they offer any solutions for Muslims concerned with this dilemma, and to investigate how such legal maxims can be used to shape the way in which Muslims in the West perceive today’s mortgage issues. Some questions raised are the following. When enterin

Leaps and bounds have been made in areas related to river basin management on a global scale, in line with vari- ous technological advances of the 21st century. We review six emerging trends related to water science, research and management. One of the main issues, which have come under the close scrutiny of the W&RBM SG, is international trans

BACKGROUND: Sea cucumber (Stichopus vastus) is considered an underutilized resource, since only its stomach and intestines are eaten raw as salad in a few countries and the remaining parts, especially the integument rich in collagen, is discarded.Hence a valuable by-product having potential nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications is wasted. I

Malaysia being a unique capital market, practices dual banking system to capture the disaggregation of conventional and Islamic banking systems. However, like most financial institutions, no bank is isolated from security threats, even if, it comes from within the organization. Thus the objective of this study is to examine bank managers’ experie
