The capital structure determinants for South Asian banks are required to be exposed. This investigation attempts to address the existing gap by examining the capital structure determinants for the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries. To accomplish the main objective, the Panel Data of 52 banks is collected from the fo

This study aims to discover key capital structure determinants for the entire Shariah firms operating in dissimilar contexts. Moreover, it also estimates the adjustment speed for these firms to maintain targeted capital structures at all times. For this purpose, 321 Shariah firms that are operational in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, the UAE, and Indonesi

Transmission over wireless channel is challenging. As such, different application required different signal processing approach of radio system. So, a highly reconfigurable radio system is on great demand as the traditional fixed and embedded radio system are not viable to cater the needs for frequently change requirements of wireless communication

This study examines the dynamic linkages among consumer price, producer price, industrial production and import price indices in Malaysia by using monthly data from 2005 to 2013. The empirical results based on Johansen multivariate cointegration test reveal that there is a long-run relationship among these indices. The long-run estimations indicate

1. Introduction Public funding of higher education has been a very important issue in economically developing countries. As one of the ways to institute social mobility, education and especially higher education is a central public policy agenda. However, in the last two decades or so, public debt levels as well as increasing demands for public fun

A prototype of a fuel cell (FC) hybrid electric air-cushion tracked vehicle of 4.96 kN ground contact area of 0.85 m2 including 0.20 m2 contact area of the air-cushion for the peat swamp of normal ground pressure in the range of 7–8.5 kN/m2 has been developed to overcome the problems associated with an internal combustion engine (ICE) power track

Wireless communications technology is a vast and dynamic field of study. As such, high-reconfigurable tool like software defined radio is crucially needed. Software defined radio is a set of tool that consists of RF frond-end hardware and supported software like MATLAB, GNURadio, etc. For researcher, software defined radio is important to support t

In this work, performance analysis of Clustering based Genetic Algorithm (CGA) proposed in the literature has been undertaken. The proposed CGA on which the performance analysis of this paper is based involve the use of two centroids based clustering technique as a new method of chromosomes selection at the reproduction stage in a typical Genetic A

Face centered central composite design was used to optimize the enzyme loading, reaction temperature and mixing speed of sludge palm oil (SPO) transesterification reaction using locally produced Candida cylindracea lipase. The developed quadratic model was found to be significant at p < 0.05. The highest biodiesel yield of 57.5 % (w/w SPO) and
