James Rachels’s distinction between killing and letting die maintains that there is morally no difference between killing a terminally ill patient and letting him/her die. Therefore, active and passive euthanasia dichotomy is a distinction without a difference. Hence, if passive euthanasia is allowed, active euthanasia should be permitted too. Th

Zinc/MCM-41/air cell, in its dry form without the electrolyte, demonstrates humidity sensing property. A good linear correlation between the cell’s open circuit voltage (OCV) and the relative humidity content is observed. The system possesses the potential to be developed into a low cost microhumidity sensor. An ultra thin cell of thickness not m

The Malay history has been well-documented and much has been written about it by many authors either by the Malays or by the non-Malays as well as the Orientalists. They wrote on various genres of literature, culture and other aspects of the Malays. Some of their findings and conclusions are acceptable. But for some others, because of their adoptio

Seringkali apabila seseorang menyelit peribahasa dalam perbualannya secara tidak langsung turut mengundang rasa yang pelbagai sama ada lucu, tidak percaya atau kagum sehingga menimbulkan rasa aneh dalam kalangan pendengar. Melihatkan senario tersebut, seolah-olah sekarang peribahasa tidak lagi boleh digunakan dalam perbualan. Persoalan itu juga tel

High activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is characteristic of normal and cancerous stem cells. Recently, high ALDH expression was shown to be associated with poor prognosis in uterine endometrial adenocarcinoma. The population with high ALDH activity (ALDH-hi) was more invasive, anti-apoptotic, and tumorigenic than that with low activity (ALD

This paper presents a development of QFT-based self-tuning controller for a conveyor belt type grain dryer plant. Grain drying process is complex due to long time delay, presence of disturbances and plant uncertainty. QFT technique potentially has excellent solution towards this problem due to its well known capability to achieve robust performance

Green infrastructure is urban nature conslstmg of greenery and green spaces distributed in and around town. It facilitates residents' contact with natural environment that may fulfil their needs for nature in urban places. Human's inherent affiliation with the natural environment or Biophilia has been long hypotesised. The paper draws the f
