Poverty eradication remains high on the national agenda. Malaysia’s seriousness about poverty eradication - one of the millennium development goals - has enabled it to achieve a drastic reduction of the poverty rate from 60% in the 1970s to 3.8% in the 20009. Hard core poverty has been virtually eliminated, declining to 0.7% in 2009. Although the

This paper attempts to discuss the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) from various aspects -including its pros and cons- in order to clarify the term as it is used by the experts and researchers. In addition to that, the paper also goes further to touch upon the IoT’s challenges to privacy from legal perspective. Last but not least, the pape

This paper aims at promoting a framework of interactions among learners, instructors, contents and systems via Learning Management System (LMS).These interactions allow Arabic language learners to bridge their existing knowledge with new information and make new meanings through critical comments among peers, teacher’s feedback and from the inter

Solar water heating systems is one of the applications of solar energy. One of the components of a solar water heating system is a solar collector that consists of an absorber. The performance of the solar water heating system depends on the absorber in the solar collector. In countries with unsuitable weather conditions, the indoor testing of sola

A few dynamic design stream ciphers have been described in a number of papers. Moreover, the majority of these papers are just focused on dynamic polynomial switching in the Linear Feedback Shift Registers. This paper proposed a novel stream cipher with dynamic structure, which is based on using dynamic parameters to increase the complexity of the

Understanding of the correlative effects of combined variables on the growth rate of the cyanobacteria is fundamental to the exploitation of cyanobacteria as a biological mechanism to produce biofuels. Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are phototrophic microorganisms that offers attractive benefits, among which is a direct conversion of CO2 to a ran

Introduction: Community resilience is the sustained ability of a community to withstand and recover from adversity after an emergency. In preparation for the post-2015 Hyogo framework for action, countries across the globe emphasizes supports to the local governments and community organizations in implementing community resilience programs (HFA 201

Teachers’ sense of efficacy is an essential construct in teaching and learning. Researchers in education have recognized that teacher efficacy has strong relationship with various aspects of teaching and learning. This study aims at 1) examining the construct of teachers’ sense of efficacy and 2) evaluating the adequacy of the teachers’ sense

People today live in a connected environment that can negatively or positively affect almost all aspects of life. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term used to describe the ubiquitous smart devices that can connect to the Internet. The IoT was described by advocates as “the first real evolution of the Internet” that can improve the way people

A study was conducted on the food resource partitioning among fish species in Pahang River-estuary from 2010-2013 during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon period. The area was divided in three strata (upstream, downstream and middle zone), based on environmental features. Stomach contents of all species present were analyzed. From 138 of total stomach a
