The current study attempted to examine the religious maturity of Hindu (N=1050), Christian (N=1073) and Muslim (N=1394) adolescents studying at secondary level in Pakistan. This research is based on the theory of religious orientations presented by Allpport (1950). Age universal I-E scale (revised version of ROS – Religious Orientation Scale) developed by Kirkpatrick (1988) and Maltby (1999) wa...

RAM content acquisition is an important step in live forensic analysis of computer systems. FireWire offers an attractive way to acquire RAM content of Apple Mac computers equipped with a FireWire connection. However, the existing techniques for doing so require substantial knowledge of the target computer configuration and cannot be used reliably on a previously unknown computer in a crime sce...

This paper presents an application of formal verification which was carried out using the new implemented version of the LPMC model checker tool [16]. The focus is on the modeling and the automatic verification of a protocol contained in the IEEE 1394 standard, the Root Contention protocol. The Root Contention protocol involves both realtime and randomization. As it will be shown, it is an illu...

In this paper an attempt has been made to determine Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) using Hybrid (FF-DE) and FF techniques. The methods for ELD evaluation are developed considering fuel cost of the system. Economic Load Dispatches are calculated using FF-DE technique without violating the reactive power constraints of the system. Most of the studies related to ELD use traditional methods based on ...

This paper considers tbe rearrangement process in the twostage btoadcast switching network presented by F. IC. Hwang and G . W. Richards in IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, October 1985. By defining a certain function it is possible to calculate an upper bound on the number bf connections to be moved during a rearrangement. When each inlet channel appears twice, the maximum number of connec...

FireWire audio devices are flooding the (semi-)pro audio interface market. At LAC2005, the FreeBoB project has been presented, aiming to implement support for devices built on top of the BridgeCo BeBoB platform. This paper discusses the evolution of the FreeBoB project towards a framework generic enough to support a virtually any FireWire based audio device, BeBoB based or not, conforming to th...

This paper summarizes the current status of regulations, standardization efforts and trials around the world regarding white space (WS) communications, especially television band WS (TVWS). After defining WS communication systems configurations and function and the categories of white space database, the TVWS regulations in United States, United Kingdom, and Japan are summarized. Then regarding...
