Repair to conversational breakdowns is important so that mutual understanding between speakers can be restored. Strategies to repair may include but not limited to repetition of trouble source, addition or deletion. However, repair work requires speakers to be equipped with necessary linguistic and cognitive skills (Cho &Larke, 2011) which may

The p-adic models of statistical mechanics require an investigation of the roots of polynomial equations over p-adic fields in order to construct p-adic Gibbs measures. The most frequently asked question is whether a root of a polynomial equation belongs to some given domains. In this paper, we study the solvability of general cubic equations over

Additional of fibre in concrete creates fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) with an improvement of the mechanical properties of the concrete. However, additional of fibres in FRC has limited to 2% to allow normal mixing procedure. To address this issue, high performance fibre reinforced concrete (HPFRC) which is relatively new in construction industry

This paper discusses about the justifiability of including a provision similar in nature and intent with section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Act 593) into the Syariah Criminal Procedure Enactment (2003) of Selangor. The provision is significant in terms of procedural laws which gives the power to the authorities to detain and interrogate th

Plagiarism through the use of technology in education. To investigate attitude towards plagiarism among postgraduate students of selected universities in Malaysia.

This paper is a continuation of our previous studies on nonlinear consensus which uni�es and generalizes all previous results. We consider a nonlinear protocol for a structured time-varying synchronous multi-agent system. We present an opinion sharing dynamics of the multi-agent system as a trajectory of non-autonomous polynomial stochastic opera

In this paper, we introduce a new class of the so-called p-majorizing quadratic stochastic operators which is the generalization of the class of quadratic doubly stochastic operators. We provide a criterion for the regularity of p-majorizing quadratic stochastic operators acting on 2D simplex. Some relevant examples are also provided.Theory of Stoc

The drawbacks of surgery and grafts pertaining to the chronic tendon ailments or aging factor have led to the emergence of promising alternative, engineered tendon tissues. The engineered tissue is capable to mimic the physiological function of the native tissue. The fundamental requirements of a bioreactor system to generate engineered tendon tiss

Muslim-friendly hotels are targeted to provide shariah-complaint and comfortable rooms especially for the Muslim guests. This is in line with the encouragement of good hospitality in Islam. However, even though there are nearly 3000 hotels in Malaysia, only less than 10% are considered as Muslim friendly. Therefore, this study investigates the elem

Cancer is a disease which has high motility rate worldwide. The current treatment has a high potential to kill cancer cells, however it is lacking of specificity and therefore cause the side effects in normal cells. The alternate pathway has been explored including targeting to cancer cells via polyamine transport system (PTS). The PTS activity is
