Abstract: This independent study has been conducted to analyse and establish whether any relationship exists between effective risk management practices and project success in the construction industry of Pakistan. The industry under question is marred with inefficiencies both in the public as well as private...     Read More

Abstract: Wasta was originally a mediation mechanism in pre-colonial Arab societies which evolved into an intercessory tool to gain favourable access to positions and resources. It is both censured and abetted in present-day Middle Eastern countries like Oman where members struggle to balance Western standard...     Read More

Abstract: We study mechanism design problem for capacity transfer among M/M/1 queueing systems with private information. We propose an iterative mechanism, which is shown to simultaneously satisfy strategy-proofness, budget balance, individual rationality, and convergence. Finally, we conduct numerical studie...     Read More

Abstract: Digital era has changed the behaviours of the customers and consequently affect how the companies do business and perform. To maintain performance, firms must adapt and transform to cope with changing environments. By using dynamic capabilities approach, this study aims to develop a framework to inv...     Read More

Abstract: The resonant nonlinear Schrodinger equa-tion (NLSE) having quadratic-cubic nonlinearity for describ-ing pulse phenomena and studied in nonlinear optics. We achieved optical soliton and solitary wave solutions of reso-nant NLSE with quadratic-cubic nonlinearity by employing extended simple equation m...     Read More

Abstract: Electioneering process in many developing countries results in election frauds such as double registration, ballot stuffing, under-age voting and other forms of election drawbacks during registration of voters and casting of votes by eligible voters. In some developing countries, electronic biometri...     Read More

Abstract: Resource management and job scheduling are two problems that go hand-in-hand and the solutions to which are primarily dependent on the nature of workload. With increasing demand to automate the entire process from allocating resources to scheduling jobs efficiently, deep reinforcement learning techn...     Read More

Abstract: In this study, an optimum design of hairpin resonator is being proposed. Design has been optimized by changing dimensions of a basic hairpin resonator in a manner so as to increase its sensitivity. Simulation in HFSS software was done to study effects on resonant frequency and quality factor with va...     Read More

Abstract: The organizing process of International academic conferences consists of very time consuming and full of paper work for event handling such as Call for papers, submission of papers by authors, review process, registration process of author and general participants. Currently, there are several syste...     Read More

Abstract: Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are a set of mobile nodes that communicate with each other within a common wireless media without the presence of a predefined infrastructure or a central control authority. The absence of preexisting infrastructure is the characteristic that make them ideal for diffe...     Read More
