This paper proposes a novel packet scheduling algorithm that extends Opportunistic and Delay Sensitive (ODS) algorithm to simultaneously support Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) and Non-GBR (NGBR) services over downlink Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. The proposed algorithm utilises Channel Quality Information (CQI), average throughput, type of services

Healthcare spaces is one of the earliest spaces where barrier free concept of space design is being accepted and regularised as part of the essential building requirement. Spaces in healthcare buildings support activities that support the function of making ease in the delivery of care to sustain live and care for the decease. The paper introduces

Phytate is largely unavailable to monogastric animal such as swine, poultry and fish, as they lack of sufficient endogenous enzymatic activity to hydrolyze phytate. The result is the elimination of precious nutrients that would be beneficial to their growth; furthermore, they will excrete most of the indigestive phytate which can contribute to phos

This study focuses on the preparation and characterisation of sodium ion conducting polymer electrolytes. Poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) has been used as the host matrix and hydrated sodium sulphide (Na2S.9H2O) salt as the source of charge carriers in the polymer electrolyte system. To the highest conducting polymer–salt electrol

An experimental design was used to slUdy the influence of pH, tempemture and time on the extraction of pectin from banana peels (Musa) and mango peels (Mungiferu indica), The yield of the extracted pcetin was measured to dctermine the optimum extraction condition. Alcohol insoluble solid (A1S) method was used for the extraction technique where etha

The electrochemical aCtivIty of human leukocytes (white blood cells and platelets) was investigated by measuring the current output and open circuit potential produced from a biofuel cell (BFC). White blood cells and platelets were isolated from whole human blood, suspended in phosphate buffered saline solution and introduced to the anode compartme

The study is justified on the following grounds: First, the issue of teaching communication strategies has been controversial over the past few decades. Some studies questioned the teachability of communication strategies. Therefore, this study aims to offer some understanding of the relationship between communication strategy instruction, th

Teaching of architectural history to students of architecture leaves so many gaps to the rationale of its claim with no appropriate answer on the Malay-Muslim heritage in the South East Asian region. The similarities found in the architectural styles of the so called "The Malay Archipelago" had triggered many theories among architectural wr

This paper seeks to retrace human nature and transcending the vision of humanity, by identifying, describing and analyzing the Hahnemannian principles and their relevance to anthropology of transcendent philosophy. Using the qualitative data from Hahnemann’s works with special reference to his Organon we found that Hahnemann’s principles are, u

In Muslim societies, girls and boys are expected to behave in accordance with social, cultural and most importantly, Islamic teachings. In Islam, interactions between the sexes are permitted within certain limits specified by the Qur’an and Sunnah. Sadly to say, despite all of this, statistics have shown that the number of rape cases involving Mu
