In this paper, we consider incomplete survival data that is, partly-interval failure time data where observed data include both exact and interval-censored observation on the survival time of interest. We presented a modification of Fine and Gray (1999) which proposed a class of estimation procedures for semi-parametric proportional hazards regress

In this article, a new, higher-order accurate method, namely higher-order compact-flow field-dependent variation (HOC-FDV) method, has been developed to solve two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The HOC-FDV scheme is of third-order accuracy in time and fourth-order in space. The spatial derivatives in the flow field-dependent variation (FDV) e

Background: Continuous professional development (CPD) is essential to keep pharmacists updated and improve the quality of patient care. The positive impact of CPD on different aspects of pharmacy practice has been documented. Despite its mandatory implementation for Malaysian pharmacists working in the private sector, there is paucity of data to ex

When the nature of a particular notion is sought to be- known, one often resorts to look for its definition, and that definition, by its nature, often identifies the subject matter. Conversely, the definition sought for identifying the subject matter could not have been articulated before investigating the nature of the notion and designating its s

The book is divided into two parts; the first introduces numerical methods and while the second part presents the statistical methods that are particularly useful for students whose mathematical background is limited to basic algebra. The book explains the concepts and supporting them with many examples and applications to appeal the interests of s

يواجه الطلبة الصعوبات البالغة في استيعاب الأفعال المزيدة والبحث عن استخدامها وتحديد دلالاتها المتعددة، إذ تختلف مداخل المعاجم ومحتوياتها كمّا ونوعا لتنوع أهداف المعاجم واختلاف أحجامها، وهذ

Objective: To systematically review the relevant peer-review literature investigating the outcome of simulated learning environment (SLE) training in audiology education. Design: A systematic review research design. Study sample: Fifteen databases were searched with four studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Results: Three of the four studies rev

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of surfactants on plasmid DNA during preparation and release from polylactic glycolide (PLGA) microspheres. Methods: Various surfactants, both ionic and non-ionic (Span, Tween, Triton X100, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulphate), were added during the microsphere preparation and their effect was

The emergence of Arabic language and Islamic religion in the Malay Archipelago which comprises the present day Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam, part of the Philippines as well as southern Thailand gave birth to Islamic education through the medium of Arabic language. This was inevitable because of the mutual relationship between A
