The data are generally obtained from the company’s annual report for the period of 2012 to 2016. The study employs multiple regression analysis to examine the influen

A worldview is a comprehensive view of the world we live in and interact with. The view is not physical, but philosophical. It encompasses all animate and inanimate, physical and metaphysical realities. A worldview, furthermore, is about seeking, comprehending, embracing and living the truth.

People are both the creators and demolishers of civilizational accomplishments. They are the only beneficiaries of every great civilizational output. Similarly, people are the conceivers, creators and users of architecture -- a physical locus of civilizations. They create architecture and then use and interact with it. They do so either commendably

Banana peel (BP) is a major waste produced by fruit processing industries. Pre-treatment of BP at different temperatures led to 40% reduction in saponin at 100 °C (from 9.5 to 5.7 mg/g). Sequential mixed culture of Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P. chrysosporium) and Candida utilis (C. utilis) gave highest protein enrichment (88.93 mg/g). There is 2

This paper discusses the relationship between tradition and modernity in the Saudi expansions of the Prophet’s Mosque. Two major expansions by King ‘Abd al-‘Aziz and King Fahd have been targeted. The first expansion by the first Saudi King, during the Kingdom’s formative years, is regarded as a precursor to the second one, which was truly e

In recent times, various challenges have been encountered in the design and development of SRAM cache which consequently has led to a design where memory cell technologies are converted into on-chip embedded caches. The current research statistics for cache designing reveals that Spin Torque Transfer Magnetic RAMs, preferably termed as STTMRAMs, ha

Kinetic analysis of solid-state fermentation (SSF) of fruit peels with Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Schizophyllum commune mixed culture was studied in flask and 7 kg capacity reactor. Modified Monod kinetic model suggested by Haldane sufficiently described microbial growth with co-efficient of determination (R2) reaching 0.908 at increased subst

Web Usage Mining (WUM) is the application of data mining methods in extracting potentially useful information from web usage data. Its application includes improving website design, personalised service, target marketing etc. Among the outstanding research issues in WUM include inefficiency in mining large weblogs, extracted patterns that are not r

Ubiquitous Computing and Internet of Things (IoT) are extremely popular in recent age and therefore imparting high level security mechanism is highly indispensable for such advanced technical systems. Game Theory acts as a suitable tool offering promising solutions to securityrelated concerns in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (i.e., MANETs). In MANETs, sec

The global rapid urbanization has had significant impacts on the environmental quality. As with many other countries, Malaysia has not been spared from this issue. The unprecedented urban growth has occurred at the expense of many green spaces and vegetation which promote ecosystem and human health. Urban riparian is one of the greenery commonly un
