ISLAMIC BANKING RODUCTS AWARENESS AMONG ISLAMIC BANKS’ CUSTOMERS IN NORTHEN NIGERIA
No full textThis paper analysed the level of customers’ awareness about unique Islamic banking products in Nigeria. The data used for the study was obtained through the distribution of well-structured questionnaires among the Islamic banking customers in which out of 400 sampled respondents, 370 questionnaires were properly filled and returned (that is, a 92.5% response rate) for further analysis. Also, to ensure proper data triangulation in this research, a semi-structured interview was conducted among the Jaiz Bank officials. Using descriptive statistics, the result indicated more than 50% of the customers were not aware of such unique products, though the level of this awareness differs from one product to another as some customers have had practical experience with some of these products like in case of murabahah and ijara. Therefore, the study recommends that, improving information dissemination about Islamic banking products will go a long way in enhancing the consumers’ perception and adoption of this unique system of banking, which will eventually make more individuals to be financially included due to the spiritual, economic and ethical considerations of Islamic financial system
Search for high-mass dilepton resonances in pp collisions at root s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
No full textSee paper for full list of authors - 14 pages plus author list + cover page (31 pages total), 5 figures, 4 tables, submitted to Physical Review D, All figures including auxiliary figures are available at http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/PHYSICS/PAPERS/EXOT-2012-19/International audienceThis article describes a search for high-mass resonances decaying to a pair of photons using a sample of fb of collisions at TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The data are found to be in agreement with the Standard Model prediction, and limits are reported in the framework of the Randall-Sundrum model. This theory leads to the prediction of graviton states, the lightest of which could be observed at the Large Hadron Collider. A lower limit of () TeV at 95% confidence level is set on the mass of the lightest graviton for couplings of ()

However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for “inappropriate” names. It is evident that such proposals come from very deep feelings, but we show how they can irreparably damage the foundation of biological communication and, in turn, the sciences that depend on it. There are four essential consequences of objective codes of nomenclature: universality, stability, neutrality, and transculturality. These codes provide fair and impartial guides to the principles governing biological nomenclature and allow unambiguous universal communication in biology. Accordingly, no subjective proposals should be allowed to undermine them
