The needs for bridging of digital divide in the rural communities and the economics of currently available broadband access technologies have motivated us for innovation and deployment of the new system designs and applications. The widely available and flexible WiFi technique meets the cost and suitability targets for the rural broadband applicati

Currently, Femtocell technology emerged for cellular wireless networks, which has rapidly engrossed cellular industry. The principle of femtocell to mobile operators is to reduce the network operation cost and increase indoor coverage which is also considered a possible path to the fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) goal. Femtocell access point (FAP) o

Femtocell network is a new technology that uses the advantage of an Internet backbone to enhance the cellular coverage in residential or small business areas. However, due to the expected random deployment of the femtocell access point (FAPs), there is a strong probability of interference among the femtocell nodes and between the femtocells and the

Variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limbs are frequently observed. During ultrasonography with General Electric Ultrasound machine with 12L-RS linear probe on a 47-year old Malay man, superficial brachioulnar arteries (SBUA) were found bilaterally. While persistent median artery (PMA) was only found on the right forearm. Both SBUA origi

This paper involves analysing and designing a prototyping system that automates the evaluation of land. The main objective of this study is to eliminate the needs to rate the suitability of land areas for several land use types (LUTs) manually. Tropical Crops Selection Advisory (TROPSEL) will be able to auto select LUTs according to known land char

The gasification of a droplet via vaporization is one of the main processes in combustion systems, namely diesel and propulsion engines. In these combustion systems, always the liquid fuel is atomized as a cloud of droplets in the chamber, which then vaporizes, and mixes with the oxidant and burns to release heat. Therefore, to afford a better know

This paper reports a study on the perceptions of learning via online games among Arabic elementary language learners at the Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The survey was a part of a front-end analysis for the design and development of an online Arabic vocabulary games prototype. It elicited le

The study of the gasification of a droplet via vaporization, which involves heat, mass and momentum transfer processes in gas and liquid phases, and their coupling at the droplet interface, is necessary for better understanding and modeling of complex spray and mixture formation issues. A detailed description of the vaporization of an isolated drop

This study investigated the effectiveness of groupwork as a learning strategy during class lectures and discussions to promote active participation, boost self-confidence and attain higher course achievement among pre-university students studying in an intensive English course. Students were exposed to a variety of strategies that incorporated the

This innovation features an online Arabic vocabulary learning games prototype spe-cifically designed for Arabic elementary learners at the pre-university level from Cen-tre for Foundation Studies (CFS), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). This game-based learning prototype enables lecturers’ and students’ access to addi-tional Ara
