Objectives: The objective of this study was to document the impact of an integrated TB directly observed therapy short-course (DOTS) plus smoking cessation intervention (SCI) on HRQoL. Methods: This was a non-randomized controlled study (quasi experimental design) involving 120 TB patients who were current smokers at the time of TB diagnosis. Patie

We extend the notion of dissipativity of maps to infinite dimensional simplex. We show that a quadratic stochastic operator is continuous on infinite dimensional simplex. We study linear dissipative maps and the limit behavior of their trajectory.Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Mathematical Applications in Engineering (ICMAE2012)

Both medical (Year I, Year II) and dental (Year I) students in IIUM are exposed to three types of teaching aids in learning gross anatomy. They are cadavers, prosected wet specimens and plastic models. This study aimed at exploring the students’ preference on teaching aids in learning gross anatomy and reasons for their preference. A cross-sectio

The comparism of the dark adaptation and plasma retinol level (Vitamin A) was a potentially useful method of studying the basic nature of the aging process in vision. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of age upon the dark adaptation time and plasma retinol level. Dark adaptation time, visual fields and plasma retinol levels were

Doubly stochastic quadratic operators are put into correspondence with doubly stochastic matrices. It is shown that the operator is extreme only if the corresponding matrix is extreme. Besides, it is studied the limiting behavior of doubly stochastic operators.RMC/ End of Project Report Form Page | 4 Modified on 14th September 2010 VIII FULL VERSIO

Despite the popularity of the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) in recent years, several researchers question the current emotional intelligence tests on many grounds including lack of construct validity and unstable factor structure. The present study investigates the factorial validity of the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS)

Understanding work and family roles is critically important for organization in enabling employee to experience satisfaction in life. Besides, this is one of the possible solutions for organization to attract and retain capable employee. The present study aims to validate the hypothesized interrelationships among the constructs of supervisor suppor

Sign Language Recognition systems require not only the hand motion trajectory to be classified but also facial features, Human Upper Body (HUB) and hand position with respect to other HUB parts. Head, face, forehead, shoulders and chest are very crucial parts that can carry a lot of positioning information of hand gestures in gesture classification

Background: Excessive sugar intake has been identified as one of the contributors to the increased prevalence of metabolic syndromes. Thus, the awareness to control sugar intake must be emphasized. Objectives: This research aimed to measure the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and fat percentage with sweetness perception among adults; and
