Extant consumerism literature mainly focused on developed countries while the conditions of developing countries are largely ignored by the researchers. This paper is an effort to explore the present status, related issues and challenges of co

Hand grip force, wrist flexion and wrist extension are the result of forearm muscle activity. In certain applications such as controlling the movements of a robotic prosthetic hand, information relating wrist joint angles to forearm muscle activity is useful to be used as part of the control algorithm. In this paper, we study the relationship betwe

Traditionally, surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators are key components in transceiver systems. SAW devices can act as high pass or low filters, high quality resonators and are usually fabricated on piezoelectric substrates such as quartz or lithium niobate. Recently, there has been interest to design the SAW devices using complementary metal-oxid

Studies using different methods have been carried out of older adults’ use of mobile technology in Malaysia and the UK. Preliminary results suggest that there are significant differences in the results which are culturally dependent.Investigation of Cultural Dependency in Mobile Technology and Older Adults Abstract Studies using different methods

The power of branding is most often powerful than the product itself. Renowned brands like Procter and Gamble paid Richardson-Vicks 2.6 times of its book value. Nabisco was sold for 3.2 times of its book value and General Motors was sold for 3.5 times its book value. Whilst these corporations succeeded in using their brand as a source for their com

This study focuses on the prediction of effluent removal through Sequence Batch Reactor (SBR) in Septic Sludge Treatment Plant (SSTP) located in Sarawak. The SBR is a fill-and-draw activated sludge system for wastewater treatment plant. The current system practiced has successfully produced a high efficiency of effluent removal, namely Chemical Oxy
