Abstract— Various relationships between radar reflectivity Z and rainfall rate R commonly identified as Z-R relationships have been derived in order to provide better accuracy for rainfall rate estimation using weather radar. It is critical for the air traffic management at the airport to accurately detect existence of potential microburst and wi

In this paper, a simple and effective multibiometric technique for subject recognition using multiple lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is presented. The proposed technique significantly improves the recognition performance of a biometric system by using multiple sources available in the same modality group. A total of 30 subjects with 12 lead E

The main objectives of this research are to (i) explore the relationship between types of knowledge and academics’ knowledge sharing behaviour, (ii) examine the relationship between knowledge sharing behaviour and its predictors based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, and (iii) identify the factors motivating and hindering academics’ knowledg

Abstract—A number of factors can certainly affect the accuracy of Z-R relationships; including poor hardware calibration. The inaccuracy might also be due to the differences between the ground-level precipitation and the precipitation aloft since a radar does not scan all the way down except at close range. Several Z-R relationships had been prop

Species diversity has been the hallmark of biosphere and invaluable resource for human being as well as for the natural environment. In order to appreciate and conserve these diverse species which are constituents of nature, different values from different frames of references have been proffered. This study examines biological diversity from the Q

Introduction: Pelvic tumour resections are complex and associated with extensive bleeding. Despite various blood management options in orthopaedic surgery, their used are limited particularly for pelvic tumour resections. Identifying predictive factors for a large amount of blood loss during surgery is essential. Objective: To evaluate the volume o

We reviewed the surgical treatment and outcomes of 13 patients with pelvic osteosarcoma treated in our centre in the past decade. The study sample included 9 males and 4 females with a mean age of 28.1 years. Four patients had ileal lesions, five had acetabulum lesions, one had a ischiopubis lesion, and three had involvement of the whole hemipelvis

Introduction: Qur’anic verses recitations to ill patients are practiced by many Muslims as a form of healing and worship. The effectiveness has been observed in many medical institutions; however, it has never been objectively measured and documented. This pilot study was conducted to construct a methodological approach to evaluate the therapeuti

The energy levels, transition energy, B(E2) values, intrinsic quadrupole moment Q0 and potential energy surface for even-even 184W and 184Os nuclei were calculated using IBM-1. The predicted energy levels, transition energy, B(E2) values and intrinsic quadrupole moment Q0 results are reasonably consistent with the experimental data. A contour plot

Introduction: Safe surgical margins are difficult to achieve when performing surgical resections for bone and soft tissue tumours involving the pelvis. Even with the advancements in treatment modalities, the rates of cure for pelvic tumours are lower than those involving the long bones. We evaluated the accuracy of surgical margins achieved in pelv
