Azo nanorods growth by sputtering method / Muhamad Marwan Marbaie
No full textAluminum-doped-zinc oxide (AZO) films were grown by RF magnetron sputtering on gold (Au) metal catalyst. The Au catalyst with 5, 10 and 15nm thickness were deposited on ITO substrate by sputter coater method and being annealed for 15 minutes at 500°C. The AZO thin films were then deposited on top of the Au catalyst at different deposition temperatures from 200°C, 300°C, 400°C and 500°C. Apart from deposition temperature, RF power during sputtering were also being varied at 50 W, 100 W and 150 W. The morphology of the AZO films showed different characteristics between those parameters being varied. From the FESEM results, it can be said that, the Au catalyst layer as well as deposition temperature contribute the growth mechanism of the AZO nanostructures. The observed AZO nanostructures were in the form of nanorods distributed un-uniformly on the Au catalyst. The increased of Au catalyst thickness lead to the reducing of AZO nanorods number as well as the nanorods size. Besides that, the AZO nanorods were found to depend directly on the substrate temperatures. The AZO thin films were tested for its sensitivity in pH buffer solutions (pH 4, 7 and 10) for application in extended-gate filed effect transistor (EGFET)
Methodology of Interpretation of Abu Marwan Bin Musa in the Book of Hidāyatul Insān Bi Tafsīr Al-Qur’ān
No full textInterpretive research cannot be separated from methodology. As time goes by, efforts to understand God's words in the Qur'an and human efforts are growing. Reading the Qur'an will occur and develop from time to time both in terms of mode of interpretation, epistemology, methodology, etc. As long as the interpretation process is carried out, it will not stop. When interpreting the Qur'an, each interpreter will be influenced by the social and cultural conditions in which he lives, and the political situation around him has a great influence on him, as was Abu Marwan bin Musa. Tafsīr Hidāyat al Insān bi Tafsīr al-Qur`ān written by Abu Marwan bin Musa is one of the products of contemporary interpretation, as is the case in 21. The book of Tafsīr Hidāyat al Insān bi Tafsīr al-Qur`ān uses the ittijāh al-salafī paradigm to interpret verses Quran verses. In this study, the author examines the method of interpretation of Abu Marwan bin Musa in the book "Tafsīr Hidāyat al Insān bi Tafsīr al-Qur'ān" and evaluates the book. Therefore, the author tries to look at the methodology of Abu Marwan bin Musa in this book

Vocalization in Group Writing
No full textThe so-called group writing or syllabic orthography is a special orthography used in Egyptian hieroglyphic texts starting from the New Kingdom/Late Bronze Age. The nature and function of this orthography, especially the way it notates vowels, has been a topic of debate for more than a century, without any consensus being reached. In this book, Marwan Kilani presents a new interpretative model that provides a fresh explanation of how the syllabic orthography notates vowels. The author starts from a critical reanalysis of previous suggestions and from a thorough reassessment of the evidence. He then infers the functioning of the system by comparing the group writing spelling of Late Egyptian words surviving in Coptic with the reconstructions of their vocalizations. This approach leads to the recognition of a system that not only coherently explains all the spellings attested in the corpus, but which also produces interpretations of the spellings in group writing that agree with current reconstructions of the Egyptian vocalization. The book contains indexes and an Appendix listing the words analysed in the study

Learning the Manifolds of Local Features and Their Spatial Arrangements
No full textLocal features play an important role for many computer vision problems; they are highly discriminative and possess invariant properties. However, the spatial configuration of local fea-tures plays an essential role in recognition. Spatial neighborhoods capture local geometry and collectively provide shape information about a given object. In this dissertation we studied explicit and implicit ways to exploit the joint feature-spatial arrangement in images for recog-nition problems. We introduce a framework to learn an embedded representation of images that captures the similarity between features and the spatial arrangement information. The frame-work was successfully applied in object recognition and localization context. The framework was also applied for feature matching across multiple images. We also showed the viability of the framework in regression from local features for viewpoint estimation. We also studied implicit ways to exploit the feature-spatial manifold structure in the data without explicit embedding and within a transductive learning paradigm for object localization. We learned the labels of the local features from an object class in a manner that provides spatial and feature smoothing over the labels. To achieve that we adapted the Global and Local Consistency Solution for Label Propagation to our implicit manifold model to infer the labels of local features
THE ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL SUPPORT THROUGH LEGAL CHANNELS OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN FOUR ASIA PACIFIC COUNTRIES
No full textThe aim of this study is to determine the impact of networking on SME’s ability to access government financial support through legal channels in Asia Pacific. This study is quantitative in nature in which the data has been gathered from 281 employees and managers working in SMEs through survey questionnaire. The SEM technique was utilised for the purpose of analysing and testing the mediation effect. The study found that there is a partial mediation of government financial support through legal channels among the relationship between networking with officers and access to finance. This study is restricted to the SMEs operating in the region of Asia Pacific
A Critical Discourse Analysis On Marty Natalegawa?s Speech On Meeting Of The 5th Global Forum Of United Nations Alliance Of Civilizations
No full textThis research is about Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of Mr. Marty Natalegawa‟s speech of ?The 5th Global Forum of United Nations Alliance of Civilizations‟ in Vienna, Austria. It is a qualitative research. The theory applied to this research is based on Norman Fairclough‟s critical discourse analysis framework. The Fairclough‟s CDA consists of three elements: text, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice.
This research is aimed to describe and reveal the discourse of the minister‟s speech on human civilization through describing its representation, relation and identity, and interpreting the production and the consumption of the text through discourse practice analysis and to explain the sociocultural that exists beyond of the text. By applying the theory, it can be known the dictions used by the minister involves the use of word classification in the political field, and sentence structure such as, sentences modes, metaphors, climax and repetition. Besides, it can be known that consumption of the text delivered by the minister is not only as ceremonial speech moment, but also as a tool in running the political goal to persuade the audience understanding from the minister‟s speech.
The linguistic study can be linked to the social analysis by the last element of CDA, it is sociocultural analysis. The sociocultural analysis explain the situational, institutional and social form of background of the emerging text. The text, mostly describes the achievement of Indonesia in various interfaith, and cultural dialogue either national or international level. But, on the other hand the world has the different fact about what is going on in the reality
