The extent to which nation states have attempted to govern and are continually attempting to govern the internet until today with specific reference to the United States of America... by Daud, Mahyuddin

“…The definition above is however unsettled because the definition of internet governance has been contested by differing groups across the political and ideological lines. As we will see in the upcoming discussion, in the early days of the introduction of the internet, nation-states did not bother to govern the internet. …”

Mathematical and computational modelling for the design of pipe bends and compliant systems by Bishop, Steven Richard

“…In particular predictions are sought of any incipient jumps to resonance of the systems which might lead to potentially dangerous loads in the mooring lines or excessive displacements. Throughout the dynamics work stable steady state paths are closely followed and monitored so that any resulting bifurcation, including the possibility of chaotic behaviour, can be analysed with a view to its subsequent prediction.…”

Legal and constitutional status of race-based and religious-based political parties in Malaysia and Nigeria by Mokhtar, Khairil Azmin, Oba, Abdulmumini A

“…In Malaysia, Islam is the state religion although the country is a modern nation state and not an Islamic state ran along strict Islamic lines. In Malaysia, electoral laws are silent on the role of religion therefore it is possible to form political parties which are aligned with religious ideologies. …”

Development of a micromolding process by Hung, N. P., Yuan, S., Lee, E. C. W., Ali, Mohammad Yeakub

“…It correctly predicts underfilling of the cavity when the mold temperature is below a threshold, but fails to locate the weld lines. Minimum channel sizes for proper flow of several plastics are presented, and the mold temperature must be controlled for proper flow of polymer into a microcavity. …”

Development of fuzzy logic controller for magnetorheological rotary brake system by Rashid, Muhammad Mahbubur, Hussain, Mohamed Azlan, Abd Rahim, Nasrudin, Salami, Momoh Jimoh Emiyoka

“…This effect is the result of changes in the fluid structure: the ferromagnetic particles of the fluid, being single domains, when subjected to an external magnetic field, become orientated and concentrated along the lines of forces of the magnetic Field. The design of the electromechanical converters mentioned above permits the space between the casing and the moving component of the converter to be filled with the magnetorheological fluid. …”
