This study presents an attempt to investigate the impact of exchange rate misalignment on capital inflows in Malaysia. Specifically, a precise threshold value is estimated to examine when exchange rate misalignment suppresses capital inflows. To pursue these objectives, this study relies on the endogenous threshold analysis as of Hansen (1996, 2000

Results from the present study in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia indicated a significant spatial variation but generally the total suspended particulate concentrations (mean = 17.2–148 lg/m3) recorded were below the recommended Malaysia guideline for total suspended particulate (mean of 24-h measurement = 260 lg/m3). Some of the elemental composition

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Malaysia. The prevalence of hypertension nearly doubled over a ten-year period (1986 – 1996). This has resulted in a significant rise in its attendant cost. We aim to review the institutional anti-hypertensive use, the cost incurred and the implicat

Bilateral simultaneous facial nerve palsy is an extremely rare clinical entity and may occur in association with a variety of neurological, infectious, neoplastic or degenerative disorders. We describe a patient, who presented with facial diplegia and normal reflexes on examination. During the entire hospitalization, he developed no motor weakness

Nowadays, sophisticated structures and machinery parts are constructed by using metallic beams. Beams are widely used as structural element in civil, mechanical, naval, and aeronautical engineering. In structures and machinery, one undesirable phenomenon is crack initiation in which the impact cannot be seen overnight. Cracks develop gradually thro

As a project is a lifeline and strategic asset to any organization, identifying the critical success factors (CSFs) for the success of projects is vital in project management. This conceptual paper provides the literatures which have been made by various researchers regarding the project success factors and change management. The CSFs which have be

The aim of this paper is to investigate the heat transfer potentiality of a building envelope integrated with ELT (end-of-life tyres) at foundation. A hazardous waste, ELT or massive scraped tyre waste created environmental load to the local environment. Today, when researchers think of the environmental impacts of tyres, they mostly focus on the m

A sensing device is modeled and discussed in this paper. The modeling is done by using carbon nanotubes. This carbon nanotube based sensing device makes it possible produce huge amount of nano chips as a disposable cartridge for diagnostic purposes. Modeling of nano-electrode, characterization and electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization is d
