WE should have been jubilantly welcoming a “2020 Malaysia” based on Wawasan 2020 that was launched in 1991. It was a powerful rallying point in the drive to push Malaysia out of the middle-income trap and to be a “developed” country. But the timeline has now been extended to 2030 and another strategy adopted – the “Shared Prosperity Vis

Given a paucity of research and apparent lack of coherence in information system research, it seems that there is no consensus in the information system field as to how security fits into the information system acceptance, usage, success, utilization, and/or performance impact (effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction). This study designed as a

In recent years, the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) implantation has provided an alternative treatment for osteoarthritis. The objective of this study is to determine whether or not an intraarticular injection of a single dose of autologous chondrogenic induced BMSC could retard the progressive destruction of cartilage in a surgica

In this paper, we have used the differential evolution to optimize the design of a Micro Air Launch Vehicle and its launch trajectory. Since trajectory design of a launch vehicle requires prior knowledge of the masses and propulsion performance parameters of the Micro Air Launch Vehicle, whereas the vehicle design requires prior knowledge of the re

Senna alata or Cassia alata (C. alata) is a plant belonging to the family Leguminosae and has been documented to have antifungal and antimicrobial activities. This research aims to extract C. alata, followed by microencapsulation by solvent-evaporation using biodegradable PLGA. The microsphere is envisaged to release the extract in a controlled man

Breast cancer is one of the commonest cancers in Malaysian females. Searching for a molecular link between breast cancer, early onset gene 1 (BRCA1) mutations and the development of early onset breast cancer has been of major interest over the past two decades. BRCA1 gene is located on chromosome 17 and known as a tumour suppressor gene maintaining

Dead spot and out of coverage problem are serious problems especially in the rural and suburban areas where the network infrastructure is not deployed. In this paper, a new end to end multi hop relay scheme for vehicular communication is proposed to extend the coverage or/and relaxing frequent handoff process. The scheme allows vehicles to continue

Decision tree algorithms have the ability to deal with missing values. While this ability is considered to be advantage, the extreme effort which is required to achieve it is considered a drawback. With the missing values the correct branch could be missed. Therefore, enhanced mechanisms must be employed to handle these values. Moreover, ignoring t

Objective: The study was carried out to assess the reliability of Immunochromatographic test for gonococcal antigen in urethral swabs from suspected male patients to validate it as rapid and point-of-care test for gonorrhoea. Methodology: A total of 80 clinically suspected cases of gonorrhoea in males of different age groups attending at the Skin a
