Public spaces play a vital role in the cultivation, control and development of communities. Urban Square is an example of public space that, throughout history, has been used as a platform to integrate the community, disseminate and discuss ideas, and enable people of different ages and groups to be part of the public realm. Public urban squares ar

Introduction: Due to globalization and changes in the health care delivery system, there has been a gradual change in the attitude of the medical community as well as the lay public toward greater acceptance of euthanasia as an option for terminally ill and dying patients. Physicians in developing countries come across situations where such issues

Persistent vegetative state (PVS) is a chronic neurological disorder of consciousness, in which patients appear to be awake, but show no behavioural evidence of awareness. It cannot be diagnosed with certainty and misdiagnosis is very frequent. Its management has become one of the most controversial and emotive issues in medical ethics and medical

The global Islamic finance sector is booming and is likely to sustain a stable growth. With many Islamic Finance products introduced over the years, the demand in studying risk pertaining to Islamic finance product is becoming a major concern. The main reason to manage risk is to attain the organizations’ objectives on financial stability. In Isl

In this study, microelectro-discharge (micro-ED) milling of nonconductive ZrO2ceramicsis investigated using a Cu tool electrode in kerosene dielectric. An adhesive Cu foil is firmly attached on the workpiece to initiate the sparks. After the machining of Cu foil, an electrically conductive carbonic layer is formed on the ceramic workpiece disassoci

The paper discusses the ride quality of two different quarter car models. Attached to the first model is a nonlinear passive hydraulic damper while the second model is equiped with an Andre Hartford friction damper. Both of the dampers are physically tested and their characteristics are obtained by using a damper test rig. Based on the force-veloci

This paper reports the results of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructure growth on different types of metal catalysts, namely gold and platinum, and also the effect of annealing time of the metal catalysts prior to the deposition of ZnO nanostructures. The metal catalysts layers with 15 nm thickness were deposited on glass substrates by sputter coater and

Tremendous advances have been recently made in inline, mobile sensors (IMS)technology for monitoring water distribution systems at unprecedentedly high spatial resolutions. Once fully matured, IMSs can be applied to obtain previously inaccessible information about the critical water quality parameters, faults, and leakages inside the pipeline netwo

In recent years, the worrying rate of street crime has demanded more reliable and efficient public surveillance system. Analysis of moving object detection methods is presented in this paper, includes Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Viola-Jones algorithm. Both methods are compared based on their precision of correctly classify the moving object
