A Hierarchical Torus Network (HTN) is a 2D-torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 3D-torus networks that are hierarchically interconnected for higher level networks. The dynamic communication performance of the HTN using the dimension-order routing under common traffic patterns have been evaluated, and have been sho

The present study describes the length-frequency distribution, length-weight (LWR) and length-length relationships (LLR),and condition- and form-factors of Puntius sophore wild population from the Chalan beel, north-central Bangladesh.Sampling was done using traditional fishing gears including jhaki jal (cast net), tar jal (square lift net), and du

Physical inactivity is common among persons with disabilities (PWDs), thereby leading to harmful secondary complications. Therefore, this cross-sectional study aimed to identify the barriers to physical activity and exercise amongst PWDs in Malaysia. Methods: A total of 102 adults (age 15–65 years) with physical disabilities were recruited from a

Food waste is a major global issue especially in developed countries. This is because of the abundance of food waste in landfills has contributed to the emission of greenhouse gas (GHG). Therefore, by using anaerobic co-digestion technology, food waste (FW) can be used as a substrate with sewage sludge (SS) to produce a valuable product such as met

A method is described for the determination of Cu, Cr, Cd, Pb, Sb, Se and As in drinking water using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Samples were taken from water treatment plants of Negeri Sembilan and Melaka. Modified methods were developed for the trace determination of total inorganic arsenic, antimony, chromium, cadmium,

Drivers need to be well-aware of the conditions of their cars. Most drivers, especially women, are not well-versed in automotive systems and functionalities. On the other hand, there are now many available mobile applications to assist drivers in terms of navigation as well as car maintenance. However, most of these applications on car maintenance

Garlic has been a favorite additive in food for many years in various cultures. It is known that garlic (Allium sativum) possesses antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, antimutagenic, antiplatelet and antihyperlipidemic properties. Allicin, a thiosulfinate extract of garlic, has been presumed to be a very strong antioxidant. High performance liquid chromat

Several series of activated carbons have been prepared by chemical activation with phosphoric acid from palm kernel and coconut shells to study the effect of preparation variables such as precursor, precursor size, pretreatment, impregnation condition and ratio and finally the carbonization temperature on specific surface area and pore distribution

Introduction: Measurement of resting energy expenditure(REE) using indirect calorimetry(IC) in ICU’s patient is the gold standard. Unfortunately, technical difficulties and high cost prevent its widespread adoption. Predictive equations are largely used instead. We aim to validate commonly used predictive equation at different period of acute pha

Purpose - This paper explores the institutionalisation of a financial sustainability agenda in Malaysian public universities. Design/Methodology/Approach - The study uses semi structured interviews and document analyses. New Institutional Sociology and the institutional logics perspective are utilised to frame the study and explain findings. Findin
