Channel impairment due to the existence of noise and interference is a major problem in the communication system. To combat this problem, channel coding technique is often used. In this paper, Bit Error Rate (BER) performance is evaluated by a simulation in a MATLAB program using the linear (23,12) Golay Code with coded BPSK system for the fading c

Background: Essential hypertension is a multifaceted disease implicating both genetic, environment and epigenetic modification. Whilst -Adducin (ADD1) polymorphism in essential hypertension has been previously described, modification in DNA methylation of ADD1 gene in hypertensive young adults is not known. Objective: To evaluate the association

A study on the alkaloidal composition on the Malaysian Annonaceae species, i.e Popowia perakensis King has been carried out. Barks of Popowia perakensis were extracted with hexane, dichloromethane and methanol, respectively. Dichloromethane extract further underwent the acid base treatment to give the alkaloidal crude extract. Isolation of compound

This study discusses credibility of both the traditional and social media from the audience perspective. Numerous definitions and conceptualisations of media credibility are either source or medium based but there are also numerous measurements made on the concept that gave rise to varied findings. An attempt was made to associate the concept of cr

Community leaders often speak about the merits and significance of Trust as Trust is deemed fundamental to the workings of institutions in society. Trust is researched in management, politics, sociology, communication and in other subjects but the underlying reasons for the lack of trust are still far from satisfactory. In the absence of trust, soc

The development of TODs in Malaysia is still unclear because of no specific development and planning guidelines relating to TOD have been gazetted at the federal level. The objectives for this study are; (1) identifying land-use dimension to determine the potential of TOD development, (2) to analyse the potential of rail-based stations for TOD purp

The movement control order (MCO) has been put in effect for more than a month now. In the beginning, it took almost two weeks for the people to get used to new rules that restrict people from doing their daily routines. Parents are not exceptional to have to deal with what has been termed as the new norm. Having to put up with work-related tasks, p

Inhibition of xanthine oxidase (XO) activity is an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of diseases such as gout and hyperuricemia. Additionally, the use of XO inhibitors can further be extended to injury treatments such as ischemic reperfusion in various organs such as heart, liver and kidney. In this study, 7 aurone compounds were syn

An example of sintered inert ceramic is ceramic balls as catalyst support media. The composition of the ceramic is regulated by Universal Oil Products (UOP) standard. The requirement of the chemical composition will therefore determine the range of sintering temperature, number of phases or crystal during sintering, and the weight percent of starti
