Multi-band antennas are very important in many application systems such as mobile phone jammer. A new shape triple-band microstrip antenna is proposed in this paper. By embedding h-shaped slots placed in the centre of a microstrip patch, the triple-band character can be achieved. Procedures to select the length and location of the h-shaped slots we

Maghemite nanoparticle suspensions were synthesized using a co-precipitation method and characterized by a variety of techniques including XRD, TEM, magnetic measurement, DLS, and zeta potential. The stability of the suspension was monitored by measuring the particle size distribution using DLS over a period of two months. The diffraction pattern f

The effects of water salinity on hatching rate and larval performance of Patin Buah (Pangasius nasutus) were studied. The fertilized eggs were incubated at 27.5–28°C in different concentrations of salinity (0, 1, 2, and 3 ppt) until hatch. The hatching rate of 0 ppt (48.6 ± 3.7%), 1 ppt (52.5 ± 3.7%), and 2 ppt (39.7 ± 6.4%) were significantl

Rare diseases, because of their nature are given less attention and as a result patients with such diseases have to undergo lot of hurdles to get proper treatment, even if any such treatment is available. There are several rare diseases for which no treatment is readily available and even it is available, the treatment process is very expensive. Ly

This study highlights that the British had long experiences in the Malay Peninsula before Francis Light’s acquisition and development of Penang, due to the central role of Malayan ports such as Kedah, Takuapa, Langkasuka, Terengganu, Palembang, Siak, and Malacca in global trade between China and India. Under the influence of Islam, Malacca (and,

This paper fundamentally discusses on the importance of the Landscape Architecture scope of works and professionalism in the application of the GBI. It sets out to investigate how the particular scope of works as well as the involvement of the Landscape Architecture professionals in the organization is being considered throughout the GBI practice.

Small group discussion is a process of conducting a purposeful organised interactive session to critically discuss a specific topic, resolve a particular issue or complete a designated group task. This book aims to share the authors' experiences wit

Potato starch is one of the important agricultural products in Hokkaido, the northernmost and second largest island of Japan. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of cultivars and starch preparation methods on the quality parameters of Japanese potato starch. Potato starches from four cultivars: Hokkaikogane, Eniwa,Benima

In the Malaysian context, because of the embeddedness of the individual within groups and a society that is still negotiating itself between the past and present, this final chapter emphasizes three main points; the recognition that many individual-based psychological problems may be reflections of other family and/or group dynamics, and that they
