It is a complete textbooks for students of public international law and also a must-read for students......PUBLIC 2ndeditio

This article discusses the impact globalization, in particular the liberal economy, on education. It elaborates how the liberalized economy requires a new kind of worker who needs a different set of skills, especially knowledge of the information and communication technologies (ICT). Due to this, there is a greater demand for higher education which

This book was written with the specific objective of addressing the information deficiency on sea cucumbers and gamat found in Malaysian coastal waters. Most of the data presented here are based on the results of scientific studies and publications by the author together with other researchers and students under his supervision either directly or i

Bangladeshi students generally think about embarking upon a structured, academic research project after completing their first degrees, honours and masters. Students with laudable academic credentials wish to do so in a foreign country, preferably in the West. However, when a Bangladeshi postgraduate research student goes to a western university to

Engine noise is one of the most researched subjects in the past few years, with the new international regulations on noise levels and doses, automotive industries are coming under much scrutiny. Many sources of noise related to automotives are identified but the main one remains to be the engine. In this paper, we classify different types of noises

A periplasmatic phytase from a bacterium isolated from Malaysian waste water was purified about 173-fold to apparent homogeneity with a recovery of 10% referred to the phytase activity in the crude extract. It behaved as a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of about 42 kDa. The purified enzyme exhibited a single pH optimum at 4.5. Optimum temp

This paper presents the use of higher order statistics and a neural network based multi-classifier system for gene and exon identification of a DNA sequence. Newly proposed higher order statistics features, combined with frequency domain analysis, are used to train three different neural networks. Classification results of the three individual neur

This paper presents the result of an experimental investigation on tool wear of PCBN tool insert during the high speed end milling of AISI H13 tool steel under dry cutting condition. Sufficient numbers of experiment were run based on the central composite design (CCD) concept of response surface methodology (RSM) in order to generate tool life data

This paper presents the signal boosting technique for gene and exon identification of a DNA sequence. Newly proposed signal boosting technique is used to enhance the coding region and improve the likelihood of correctly identifying the coding region. This new method is compared with other genomic signal processing techniques, such as DFT, IIR anti-

In this paper, we propose a public key based security architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The basic architecture comprises of two schemes; a key handshaking scheme based on simple linear operations for fast computation and an identity based cryptosystem which does not require any certificate authority. Our analysis shows that, the com
