Research on distributed power generation as an alternative method to the conventional power generation system continue to be developed to improve its commercialization capabilities. The cogeneration system and trigeneration system are technological improved alternatives in distributed generation where they offer enhancement and reliability in term

A society based on patriarchal structure brings lots of discriminations against females in family and society, so different violent relationships appear mainly targeting women as the victims. The domestic violence imposed by the partner of the woman tortures her verbally and physically, captures her to live in a suffering environment or enforces he

This paper describes a study to investigate the challenges and obstacles to speaking Arabic faced by good and poor Malay speakers of Arabic. The study used individual and focus group interviews with 14 participants to elicit data.The findings revealed 2 types of obstacles, namely, internal and external obstacles. Internal obstacles refer to the lim

Comparative leaf anatomy study were conducted in three taxa of Acanthaceae from peninsular Malaysia. Three chosen taxa were Acanthus ebracreatus (Vahl), Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Wall. ex Nees and Chroesthes longifolia (Wight) B. Hansen which is commonly used as traditional medicine especially in peninsular Malaysia. The main objective is t

The construction industry project is more subjective and risky compared with the others industries because of the unique characteristics of construction activities such as poor working condition, the significant frequency of accidents and the occupational risky situation. Risk analysis and management on the project sites is the first key to achieve

This research work outlines the methodology of a medical image grading system based on supervised learning algorithm. A total of 210 features were extracted in various color spaces and most relevant features were identified and fed into a regularized feedforward neural network. The inter-grader reliability of the supervised system was then assessed

A method for evaluating the performance of micro jets, in a flow behind a highly expanded nozzle is presented. In the process, the pressure distribution of the flow behind the nozzle outlet is calculated for a defined range of Mach numbers. The outcome shows the existence of oblique shock, Mach waves, and expansion fan in the investigation dependin

Retinal blood flow (RBF) increases in response to a reduction in oxygen (hypoxia), but decreases in response to increased oxygen (hyperoxia). However, the relationship between blood flow and the arterial partial pressure of oxygen has not been quantified and modeled in the retina in particular the vascular reserve and resting tonus of the vessels.

MRSA is a multi-resistant S.aureus bacteria which can colonize or infect humans either in the community or hospitals. Being increasingly common as a cause of nosocomial infection, active actions need to be taken to control and prevent this costly and serious infection which can lead to mortality. One of the control measures which can be taken in th

Effluents from dye and textile industries are highly contaminated and toxic to the environment. High concentration of non-biodegradable compounds contributes to increased biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the wastewater bodies. Dyes found in wastewater from textile industries are carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratoge
