The focus of current business environment has changed to alliances, hence, it is important to have an appropriate governance structure or a good management control system. Thus, this conceptual paper discuss the development of management control system and the outsourcing process of solid waste management in Malaysia. Solid waste management is one

In this review, the characteristics and applications of structural laminated veneer lumber made from planted forest wood is introduced, and its preparation is explained, including various tree species and slab qualities, treatments for multiple effects and reinforced composites. The relevant factors in the bonding technology and pressing processes

The concept of aesthetics has received a growing attention from Western scholars since the nineteenth century. Over the past centuries until today, there has been substantial research by Western scholars on various arts produced by the Muslims. However, the concept of aesthetics has captured the special attention of researchers from different field

In recent decades, nanoparticles research has garnered a lot of interest, especially in finding more effective ways for their synthesis. This study aims to investigate the chemical mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using silver salt and tri-sodium citrate as the reducing agent. Processing parameters were statistically optimized in

In this paper the focus is on study of surface pressure distribution variation with angle of incidence and Mach number for hypersonic flow/Supersonic flow for a delta wing with leading edges which are curved. It is found that the surface pressure on the wing increases with increase in incidence angle and the inertia level. Results are compared for

Cancer is a complicated disease for which finding a cure presents challenges. In recent decades, new ways to treat cancer are being sought; one being nanomedicine, which manipulates nanoparticles to target a cancer and release drugs directly to the cancer cells. A number of cancer treatments based on nanomedicine are under way and mostly are in pre

Introduction: Critical size defects (CSD) in the long bones of New Zealand White rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have been used for years as an experimental model for investigation of the effectiveness of a new bone substitute materials. There are varieties of protocols available in the literature. This technical note attempts to present an alternat

Common iliac artery aneurysm (CIAA) is rare. It only constitutes about 2% of all abdominal aneurysms. CIAA develops silently with typical presentation of hemorrhagic shock after rupture, which carries a very high perioperative mortality. Atypical presentation includes unilateral lower limb weakness, pain and swelling. These symptoms should alert cl

Self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) is an isotropic mixture of lipid, surfactant and co-surfactant, which forms a fine emulsion when comes in contact of an aqueous medium with mild agitation. SEDDS is considered as a potential platform for oral delivery of hydrophobic drug in order to overcome their poor and irregular bioavailability chal

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has changed the world scenario including business and economies. There are new opportunities and challenges for every country to produce knowledge oriented citizens. Driven by these changes, numerous higher education institutions around the world are integrating and adopting latest ICT tools to deliver
