Studies focusing on factors influencing the consumer use of e-commerce for purchasing from small and medium scale enterprises remain very limited, especially in developing countries. This study attempts to address part of this limitation by developing a measurement model for consumer use of e-commerce for small enterprises in Malaysia. The study em

The agcing proccss is associatcd with incrcasing lifc expcctancy in thc community and it means more and more people are going to require more health care and maintenance. In keeping pace with demographic changes, the number of places taken in residential care homes, nursing homes and hospitals are on the rise. In order to develop new health care tr

Prophet Muhammad was the most creative and innovative man in delivering the message of Allah to his followers. History has proven that his wisdom and innovative method in communicating to people was able to transform the ignorant and uncultured Arabs of his time into highly civilized people within decades after his demise. Taking into account of th

The Shariah Committee is responsible to ascertain that the banking and financial activities of the Islamic financial institution it represents, comply with the principles of Shariah. In fact, the bank has to consult with the Shariah Committee and has to adopt its advice on Shariah matters. Generally, from Islamic law perspective, the original rulin

We examine the impact of the establishment of the Audit Oversight Board (AOB) on audit effort and the effect of the introduction of provisions 317A and 320A of the Capital Markets and Services Act (CMSA) and earnings management. Thus, auditors have to put in more effort, which requires them to increase audit fees to compensate the increase in hours

Fuel cell system is a complicated system that requires an efficient controller. Model predictive control is a prime candidate for its optimization and constraint handling features. In this work, an improved model predictive control (MPC) with Laguerre and exponential weight functions is proposed to control fuel cell oxygen starvation problem. To ge

A constrained model predictive control (MPC) is designed to regulate the air flow rate of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Oxygen excess ratio, compressor flow rate and supply manifold pressure are constrained to avoid oxygen starvation, surge and choke phenomena. This is achieved by manipulating compressor voltage and stack current. The

Flutter may be considered to be one of the most dangerous aeroelastic failure phenomenon. The flutter characteristic differs for each aircraft type, and depends on the wing geometry as well as its operational region of subsonic, transonic or supersonic speeds. Prior to performing a flight flutter test, extensive numerical simulations and Ground Vib

Flavonoids are natural inhibitors against platelet activating factor (PAF) receptor. PAF is involved in several patho-physiological conditions such as inflammation, atherosclerosis, asthma and thrombosis. The PAF actions can be inhibited by blocking its receptor with an antagonist. The aim of this study was to find the structure activity relationsh

Combination therapy is an effective strategy in management of many health problems. There is some evidence which support a pharmaco-mechanistic way to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) combination. The effectiveness of combination therapy as a treatment strategy for epilepsy and diabetic neuropathy is undergoing reassessment. This is a result of the incre
