We present a class of decomposable inequality indices for ordinal data (e.g. self-reported health survey). It is characterized by well-known inequality axioms (e.g. scale invariance) and a decomposability axiom which states that an index can be represented as a function of inequality values in subgroups and subgroup sizes. The only decomposable indices are strictly monotonic transformations of ...

In this paper, design and realization of a 4.5-5.8 GHz, –Gm LC voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for IEEE 802.11a standard is presented. The circuit is implemented with 0.35μm SiGe BiCMOS process that includes high-speed SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs). A linear, 1300 MHz tuning range is measured with accumulation-mode varactors. Fundamental frequency output power changes betwe...

FUNGATING SCROTAL MASS WITH FACIAL NERVE PALSY IN AN ADVANCED TESTICULAR EMBRYONAL GERM CELL TUMOUR : UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE. 1 2 Abubakar Abdulkadir, Muhammad Sani Ibrahim

BACKGROUND The science of toxicology has a long history and been highly valued in Islamic countries. Numerous scientists were the expert in this field, particularly during the third and fourth centuries. Through reading such literature and gaining the experience of the scientists, one can use such valuable information to promote this science. METHODS In this article, different sources of trad...

In 1396 (798/799), two hundred years before Vesalius, the Persian author Mans: ur ibn Muh:ammad ibn Ah:mad ibn Y usuf ibn Faq h Ily as composed a treatise on anatomy entitled Tas:r h: -i Mans: ur that summarized many of the observations of Galen. It was not the first such treatise to be composed in the Islamic world, but it was the first to be accompanied by drawings of the human body in anatom...

Akıl İslam düşünce geleneğinde geçmişten günümüze önemini korumuş, epistemoloji ve ontolojinin konusu olmuş, kelam, felsefe tasavvufun ortak kavramı olarak her zaman tartışılmış bir kavram güncelliğini korumaktadır. felsefesi özelinde bakıldığında özellikle Fârâbî akıl konusunda sudûr teorisi ekseninde ontolojiyi ile harmanlanmış şekilde aklı izah etmeye çalışmıştır. İbn Sînâ diğer konularda ol...

The relationship between the urban and rural world is examined here from the standpoint of the role of local leaders and their retinues of armed men, their impact on the cities and the impact of the cities on them. In periods of state weakness or disintegration, Afghan cities were unable to resist the ‘solidarity groups’ which had coagulated in the countryside under the pressure of constant con...
