Previous researchers have argued that yield curve contains information for future growth, and to a certain extent, was accurate in predicting recessions through the signal of yield curve inversion. This paper provides new evidence on the long- and short-run relationship between economic growth and yield spread in Malaysia, based on a 20-year span o

In this paper, a wideband millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) printed dipole antenna is proposed to be used for fifth generation (5G) communications. The single element antenna exhibits a 36 GHz bandwidth with more than 85.71% fractional bandwidth (for S11 <-10 dB) which covers six of the 5G candidate frequencies; 24 GHz, 25 GHz, 28 GHz, 32 GHz, 38 GHz a

Inclusion of children with autism in the mainstream school falls under a regulation in Malaysia. However, existing school buildings still lack in providing enabling environment for children with autism. Moreover, current building standards and policies fail to address the wayfinding design requirements of these children in mainstream educational se

The main aim of this study was to measure the effectiveness of a phonics intervention programme for a group of school age children with hearing loss using spoken language to establish phonemic and phonological awareness through the learning of phonics. Relating to this aim, the following general research question was generated: To what extend can p

In the scientific discussion of chemical cycling and toxicity, it is recognized that particular behaviours of trace metals are determined by their specific forms rather than by their total concentration. Such experience led to the introduction of the term "speciation,” which is used in a vague manner both for the operational procedure for det

This article examines the economic viability of waste minimization through reuse and recycling in the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. To achieve the objective of the study, this study carries out the cost-benefit analysis (CBA). The cost-benefit ratio (BCR) of waste minimization is 1.23 which reveals that waste minimization is economically justified and

In Malaysia, the contribution of agriculture has been declining at 8.9% in 2000 and 8.2% in 2005. Because the climate is changing and farmers have to confront a number of barriers to adaptation to climate change. Primary data are received from the survey questions administered in Kedah, Malaysia and analyzed to investigate farmers’ intention to u

The focus of this study is to analyze the level of knowledge, awareness, and attitude toward plastic waste and to distinguish the key drivers that encourage the households in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to participate in “ No plastic campaign”. This study used the logistic regression model to explain the factors that may affect the willingness to p

Water pollution is a severe problem in Malaysia and has an adverse impact on the sustainability of water resources. Not only has that but also affected plants and living organisms, the health of the population and the economy. This study reviews the state of river water quality and sources of river water pollution in Malaysia. The Department of Env

Hierarchical Interconnection Network (HIN) is indispensable for the practical implementation of future generation massively parallel computer systems which consists of hundred thousands nodes or even millions of nodes. Because it yields good performance with low cost due to reduction of communication links and by exploring the locality in the commu
