Introduction Meaning should be the main preoccupation of all translations. However, the process of meaning transfer is not as straightforward as it seems to be especially when it deals with culturally-embedded expressions (Al-Zoubi and Al-Hasanawi, 2001). This is supported by the fact that each language has its own sets of meaning which are distinc

Speak English The Right Way is written based on a research done on learners' spoken corpus in higher learning institutions. It deals with essential social expressions that most learners fall short of using in the spoken form. This book thus fills this gaps. The approach is based on the natural way of learning a language. Listening to spoken Eng

Mesenteric fibromatosis (MF) is a subgroup of intraabdominal desmoid tumour and is a rare neoplasm. MF is a locally aggressive fibroconnective tissue neoplasm that frequently recurs after excision but does not metastasize. There is a high association of mesenteric fibromatosis with previous trauma, hormonal imbalance and Gardner's syndrome. Thi

The “UrbanConcept” vehicle is defined as a fuel economy pure electrical vehicle which will be the closer in appearance and technology to road-going vehicles, addressing current transportation. Increasing the fuel shortage and hiking the fuel price are made the political un-stability all over the world year-toyear and decade-to-decade. While, th

Background review: Plants are considered less toxic than synthetic drugs. Recently, the search for appropriate anti-diabetic agents has been focused on plants used in traditional medicine partly because of leads provided by traditional medicine to natural products that may be better treatments than currently used drugs responsible for serious side

It is now widely accepted that the major causes of morbidity and mortality in Malaysia are related to unhealthy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Besides an alarming increase in prevalence of overweight and obesity, diet-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and certain forms of cancer have recorded a

Flavonoids have become very popular owing to their many health promoting effects. They are polyphenolic compounds, occur naturally and are widely distributed in plant kingdom performing many core functions including defense from attack by insects and microorganisms. These polyphenolic compounds are plant-derived secondary metabolites with interesti

The purpose of this study is to establish the optimum initial masking level that can be used in “Plateau Method” of masking. The Minimum Effective Masking Level (MEML) of 30 normal hearing ears was determined at octave frequencies from 250Hz to 4000Hz. Mean MEML for the octave frequencies ranged from -1.8 to 0.7 dB SL. There were significant di

Finite element modelling is widely used in technological applications, The benefits of using simulation are clear; reduced time and cost when introducing new products to market, better knowledge of part dynamic and static properties, and the opportunity to replace life cycle device tests, among others. Finite element analysis (FEA) is extensively u

Cooling of electronic components continues to attract many research & development activities towards achieving an effective way of cooling. On this work, an analytic analysis of the cooling process was conducted to calculate the rcquired cooling rate. A Fluent CFD model was developed to model and simulate the system. Experimental results were t
