Nowadays, many surface sensing mechanisms exist, not all of them can be applied in water-based environment. Most of surface sensing techniques were developed in air-based environment. In order to obtain a potential cell-based biosensor, the sensing method needs to be reliable and repeatable in liquid environment. Therefore, we adapt existing air-ba

In this article, a generalized time limited Gramian based model reduction method is presented for unstable systems. The proposed approach is also applicable to a system if it has eigenvalues with opposite polarities and equal magnitude. The standard time-limited Gramians are extended for unstable systems by transforming the original system into a n

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), such as dabigatran and rivaroxaban, have in the past decade replaced vitamin k antagonists (VKAs), such as warfarin, as standard treatment for thrombosis prophylaxis and stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Adherence to DOACs is crucial to optimise clinical outcomes in patients with AF. Th

Inequalities between men and women are common and well-documented. Objective indexes show that men are better positioned than women in societal hierarchies-there is no single country in the world without a gender gap. In contrast, researchers have found that the women-are-wonderful effect-that women are evaluated more positively than men overall-is

Aims To investigate the key determinants of nurses’ quality of life and work‐life balance statuses in a tertiary hospital in Singapore. Background Nurses’ quality of life can directly and indirectly impact patients’ safety and quality of care. Therefore, identifying key factors that influence nurses’ quality of life is essential in the he

Incidental vocabulary acquisition in ESL had been pioneered in the area of reading. However, regardless of the positive aspects people are claiming, there is limitations in the use of incidental vocabulary acquisition through reading. Some research had shown low retention rate of word meanings and the effectiveness of this method may at times be li

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between teachers’ leadership styles practices for learning with students’ academic press/emphasis (AP/AE) at selected secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur. The study employed a quantitative research design to address the research problems and two research hypotheses. A total of 328 stude

This study proposed to address two research hypotheses; H1: Coercive (COE) and coaching (COA) leadership styles represent the leadership styles practices of the English subject teachers at the selected national secondary schools in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and H2: There is a significant relationship between English subject teachers’ leadership styl

Foreign Objects Debris (FOD) at Airports can be considered as a main cause of accidents that includes aircrafts damage, infrastructure and human lives loss. Therefore, Foreign Objects Debris (FOD) is the topmost intimidation for the security of aviation, airports, aircrafts and passengers. It is very complex to identify the Foreign Objects Debris (

In recent decade, aquaculture species, including fish are under danger from bio-aggressors like viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi. These organisms harm either spontaneously or through aquatic animal husbandry practices or both. The chemicals employed in aquaculture are drugs like antibiotics used to treat diseases, chemicals introduced through
