Nowadays in database systems finding the best results that meet the preferences of users is the most important issue. Skyline queries will present the data items that are not being dominated by the other items in a database. Most of the operations assume the database is complete which means there are no missing values in the database dimensions. In

Human brain is responsible for much of human activities such as reasoning, planning, speaking, movement, emotions, as well as problem solving. Understanding the mechanism that governs how the brain works is a research that now entails multidisciplinary approach. Though other primates do store and recall data, human brain processes information in a

Endophytic bacteria, such as Streptomyces, have the potential to act as a source for novel bioactive molecules with medicinal properties. The present study was aimed at assessing the antimalarial activity of crude extract isolated from various strains of actinobacteria living endophytically in some Malaysian medicinal plants. Using the four day sup

In this paper, we present a new motor imagery classification method in the context of electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interface (BCI). This method uses a signal-dependent orthogonal transform, referred to as linear prediction singular value decomposition (LP-SVD), for feature extraction. The transform defines the mapping as the le

Cationic liposome-based reagents provide reliable and simple protocol for in vitro transfection in a broad range of mammalian cell types. High transfection efficacies and low cytotoxicity of a liposome-based transfection reagent was required to retain adequate viability and high level of transgene of transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells fo

Significant amount of stored agricultural products are lost as a result of poor and inefficient storage systems in most developing countries, especially in tropical regions of the world. Improvements on the existing storage methods is important to guarantee food security. This study proposes the development of intelligent temperature control techni

Recently, wireless devices have been used significantly due to the continuous and enormous Services that they provide. One of the major challenges that faces is how to achieve high network performance. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has developed Mobile IP, which allows Mobile node to be connected while it is moving as well as functioni

This paper is part of ongoing study to analyse the effectiveness of road humps as a traffic calming measure in improving the residential living environment. Concerns have been raised that high traffic speeds impact neighborhood liveability; therefore in order to discuss the effectiveness of road humps in improving the Malaysian residential living e

The fade margin is an important parameter used by the operator to measure the link availability for a given time. Fade margin is a parameter that is used in the design of satellite links to ensure optimal performance of the link. A new technique is proposed where the fade margin of a satellite link can be estimated using attenuation statistics of r

This paper attempts to investigate waqf as a possible instrument to reduce the Malaysian Federal Government debt. The latest Malaysian federal government debt to gross domestic product (GDP) ratio is 54.47%; more than the 50% threshold for developing economies. This increasing debt level will hurt the economy in the long run. In an effort to reduce
