When an employer is facing declining business, he may be forced to make a substantial reduction in his workforce, either by way of retrenchment or through the introduction of a voluntary separation scheme ('VSS'). Unlike in the case of retrenchment, in the case of a VSS, the employer issues a circular inviting its employees to take advantag

This presentation addresses on employee whistleblower protection with reference to the Malaysia law and the laws in the commonwealth jurisdictions. The paper propose various changes to be included to the Malaysia law so as to accord protection specifically to employee whistleblower.

The reaction of N-(2-(hydrazinecarbonyl)aryl)benzamides 2a, b with indoline-2,3-diones 4ae in acidified ethanolic solution furnished the corresponding N-(2-(2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinecarbonyl)phenyl)benzamides 5aj, respectively. Furthermore, 3-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylideneamino)-2-substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones 6aj were prepared by the reacti

The aim of this study was to determine phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of extract prepared from Mangifera indica waterlily kernel. Acidified methanolic extract prepared from M. indica waterlily kernel was analyzed. The total phenolic content was determined by the Folin_Ciocalteu method. Antioxidant activity was measured by the 1,1-diphe

Most of the issues in planning and controlling of robots are caused by uncertainties in the actuators and sensors of robots. Path planning is of paramount importance for autonomous mobile robots. This paper presents a path planning approach that is based on hierarchical Gaussian reinforcement learning. This approach differs from traditional Q-leani

The Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-Advanced) transmission bandwidth can be expanded by Carrier Aggregation (CA), where CA technology expands effective bandwidth supported to User Equipment (UE) by utilizing of radio resources across multiple carriers. Recently, many studies have been conducted on the radio resource allocation with CA. However, m

This study attaches the downlink radio resource allocation problem in the LTE-Advanced system by introducing an enhanced cross component carrier proportional fair algorithm. The importance of the study comes from the fact that almost all prior studies were not able to create a balance between the throughput and fairness of the system to optimize it
