In the modern approach to school administration, a distributed leadership model is proposed and introdu

The policy of gradual reduction in the corporate tax rate in Malaysia, which commenced since 1988 and continued till today, has become a cause for concern, as the benefits of such reduction have not been established at least empirically. The present study thus investigates the impact of the reduction of the corporate tax rate on the corporate tax r

This paper examines whether or not concentration of board members based on ethnicity and religion can impact on intellectual capital disclosure and thereby influence the corporate market value in Nigeria. This article reports the results from a two-step dynamic system generalized method of moment estimation based on 455 firm-year observations from

Double-walled microspheres based on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) are potential delivery systems for reducing a very high initial burst release of encapsulated protein and peptide drugs. In this study, double-walled microspheres made of glucose core, hydroxyl-terminated poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (Glu-PLGA), and carboxyl-terminated PLGA were fa

Resolving environmental disputes, wherever necessary, by ADR mechanisms is of numerous advantages, especially since they resolve disputes amicably and in the interest of all, including conservation of the environment, the compliance level of the reached dispute resolutions is quite high in comparison to those resolved on the basis of the contentiou

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are hydrophobic biopolymers with huge potential for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and biodegradability. A porous composite scaffold made of mediumchain- length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (mcl-PHA) and hydroxyapatite (HA) was fabricated using particulate leaching tec

Adat Perpatih is one distinctive feature that differentiates Negeri Sembilan from other Malay states in Malaysia which practise Adat Temenggung. Among the prominent values of the customary law derived from a Minangkabau law, Adat Tuah Disakato is matrilineal system, clanship and democracy. Due to lack of study done so far on Adat Perpatih, the book

Glycerol 1,3-diglycerolate diacrylate (GDD) was graft copolymerized onto poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate-co-3- hydroxyhexanoate) P(3HO-co-3HHX) to render the latter more hydrophilic. Grafting of P(3HO-co-3HHX) backbone was performed using benzoyl peroxide as free radical initiator in homogenous acetone solution. The graft copolymer of P(3HO-co-3HHX)-g-GDD
