Islamic banks currently control about $300 billion in assets. This book assesses the underlying rationale of Islamic banking, that the Quran prohibits all forms of interest. The author maintains that, first, a correct interpretation of the Quran, keeping in mind the context, would indicate that what the Quran prohibits is usury -exorbitant interest. Second, Islamic banks do not practice what they preach; they all charge interest, but disguised in Islamic garb. Thus they engage in deceptive and dishonest banking practices. The author also offers some policy recommendations, including the need...

Laser isotope separation promised a popular method for the enrichment of the isotope of interest, owing to its high selectivity and low cost. The line width of the exciter laser determines the selectivity of an isotope of interest using multi step photoionization. The technique, therefore, requires an ultra narrow line width exciting laser because of the small isotopic shift. In this work, we have demonstrated a new experimental approach with which we can resolve the very close lying energy levels even if they have not been selectively excited. This technique is a combination of a...

This book describies the effect of plants extracts and essential oils against Red flour Beetle during the year 2010 at stored grain laborarty in Agricultural Entomology Department. The objective of study was to evaluate the the insecticidal activity of the plant extracts and essentional oils against Tribolium castaneum (Red Flour Beetle)under the laboratory conditions and to observe (1) Adult and Larval mortality (2)Population build up(3) Developmental inhibitation(4)Repellent effect of essential oils and plants extracts.The conclusion were withdrawn from the obtained results were showed that...

This book reviews the mechanisms, patterns, and processes that regulate prokaryotic diversity through different habitats in the context of evolutionary and ecological hypotheses, principles, and theories. Despite the tremendous role of prokaryotic diversity in the function of the global ecosystem, it remains understudied in comparison to the rest of biological diversity. In this book, the authors argue that understanding the mechanisms of species coexistence, functioning relationships (e.g. nutrient cycling and host fitness), and trophic and non-trophic interactions are helpful in addressing...
