An Analytical Review of Different Concepts of Riba (Interest) in the Sub-Continent
Full text linkThe traditional concept of Riba (interest) is an excess amount on loan, which creditor receives from debtor on the repayment of loan. There is almost a consensus on the sprit of this concept that it is traditional thought or school; but along with that some other point of views also exist, which present Riba, in somewhat different ways, will be termed as non-traditional approach in this paper. Both of these schools are agreed on the point that, Riba is just restricted to debt, and the increment on it is Riba; but the main difference among these is that: former approach claims that, each and every addition on loan, regardless of purpose and time duration of loan is Riba; but, the later approach demand’s some room for that on different grounds. Actually both of them do not have any sound base. When the concept of unearned income (the income, which is not the result of human labor), is a recognized fact in Islamic economics in different forms, like: ijara (rent), Mudoraba and Mazara’a (Share Cropping); then definitely no logical reason is left to avoid excess income on loan. Both approaches are just unable to give a concrete concept of Riba.Riba, Interest, Rent, Share Cropping
Classification and Segmentation Models for Hyperspectral Imaging - An Overview
No full textAn advancement in Hyperspectral Imaging (HI) technology is creating important attraction among the researchers to develop better classification techniques. This technology is well known for its high spatial and spectral information due to which the discrimination of materials is much more accurate and efficient. The useful information is extracted in Hyperspectral Imaging technology after applying it in agriculture, biomedical, and disaster management studies.

SAlexNet: Superimposed AlexNet using Residual Attention Mechanism for Accurate and Efficient Automatic Primary Brain Tumor Detection and Classification
Full text linkAccurate classification of brain tumors is crucial for informing clinical diagnoses and guiding patient treatment plans. It is one of the most aggressive tumors, leading to a short life expectancy. However, the classification of brain tumors is a challenging task due to the heterogeneity, complexity, and variability of brain tumors. In this work, we propose Superimposed AlexNet (SAlexNet-1 and its extension SAlexNet-2) to detect the malignancy of primary brain tumors (Glioma, Meningioma, and Pituitary) by incorporating three enhancements: (1) fusing Hybrid Attention Mechanism (HAM), (2) dense feature extraction by replacing initial convolution 11 × 11 layer with multiple convolution 3 × 3 layers for extra non-linearity alleviating parameter burden, and (3) pretraining the encoder path on a correlated dataset via semi-transfer learning (STL) enhancing model performance. HAM provides more comprehensive and accurate feature representations. In this study, we evaluated the performance of our proposed SAlexNet models on two publicly available extensive datasets for multi-class and binary classification tasks. Our results show that SAlexNet-1 achieved an accuracy of (98.78 ± 0.80 %) and (98.07± 0.02 %) on the multi-class and binary classification datasets, respectively. In comparison, SAlexNet-2 achieved outstanding accuracy of (99.69 ± 0.22 %) and (99.17 ± 0.00 %) on the multi-class and binary classification MRI datasets, respectively. The STL-based SAlexNet-2 surpassed previous literature with complex models and techniques, achieving an accuracy of (99.20 ± 0.01 %). Furthermore, we provided a comprehensive analysis of current state-of-the-art tumor classification methods on the same dataset, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach. Enhanced tumor classification accuracy enables better diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient outcomes

Effect of vertical glazing solar control materials on solar heat gain and optical performance in Malaysia: a case study of UiTM test cell / Sharifah Hafizah Syed Ab Aziz
Full text linkThis is a field study to evaluate the effect of vertical glazing solar control materials on solar heat gain and optical performance for building. A test cell located in the campus of UiTM Shah Alam is used as case study. Thermocouple type T was used to measure the surface temperature of the test cell wall facing north and south and surface temperature of window facing north with three different types of solar control materials, Control, System 1 and System 2. The thermo couples were attached at external and internal surface of walls and windows. The data of surface temperature was recorded by automated data logging system at an interval of 5 minutes for duration of 35 days. The solar heat gain was calculated and compare between the system and orientation. The natural day lighting pass through the window was measured using Hobo at an interval of 5 minutes for duration 35 days at the center of the building. The solar heat gain calculation depends on thermal characteristics of the window, there are the SC and U value. If the value of the brick thickness for the south wall changed to x brick control = 0.338m, xbrick Systeml - 0.438m, x brick system 2 — 0.523m, the value of solar heat gain reduced almost similar to the value of solar heat gain for wall facing north. The difference of optical characteristics of solar control materials depends on its visible transmittance. Control has SC = 1.00 and Vt= 88%, therefore it has the highest solar heat gain and luminescence. System 1 has SC 0.29 while System 2 has SC 0.25, hence System 1 and 2 has the amount of solar heat gain almost similar. The Vt for System 1 and 2 is 19.5% and 3.8%. System 1 has the amount solar heat gain slightly higher than System 2 but it permits luminescence that satisfies the common use in hous
KOH/NaOH‐activated carbon
No full textActivated carbons (ACs) are porous carbonaceous materials with high surface-to-volume ratios and improved chemical functionality. The physical and chemical properties of ACs and their performance in various technologies such as energy storage, solar cells, catalysis, and gas adsorption/separation is highly dependent on the carbon precursors and the activation/carbonization methods. Among the carbon precursors, biomass has become the essential precursor for producing ACs because it is renewable, low-cost, and readily available. The carbonization and activation of biomass precursors are usually performed via physical, chemical, mechanical, and electrochemical approaches. So far, many chemical activating agents (acidic, basic, and neutral) have been reported to synthesize ACs from biomass. This is because chemical activation offers the advantages of kinetic-controlled chemical reactions, low-activation temperature, and low cost. In particular, basic KOH and NaOH are widely used for synthesizing biomass-derived ACs, which are used in electrochemical supercapacitors (ESCs) and other potential applications. This chapter comprehensively discusses the general characteristics, methods, advantages, and imitations of ACs prepared from biomass and activated with KOH and NaOH activators by highlighting the fundamentals of ACs. Finally, the application and the performance of ACs produced by KOH and NaOH activation for ESCs application are discussed
