Regional development is one of the main key players in accelerating the rapid changes and process in Malaysia. Since after the independence, the implementation of the regional development policies and strategies has sped up the urbanization and development including the rapid changes in economic growth. Development of regions emerged due to various

Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is the imaging modality of choice in assessing clinically stable patients with blunt abdominal trauma. This study assessed the role of MSCT in the detection of intra abdominal injury caused by blunt trauma in our centre within a two-year-period (2008-2009). A total of 151 patients had MSCT abdomen for blunt abd

This paper addresses the problem of designing a robust control for a laboratory 3DOF helicopter system. Simplified and disturbance rejection robust controllers are presented for the linearized dynamical system. The robust controller is formulated as a mixed H2/H∞ problem. An Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used for intelligent es

A biographical essay on the twentieth century Bengali writer, Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain.Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain: A Biographical Essay Soon after the death of Is hwar Chandra Vidyasagar (1820 -91), a pioneering figure of the Bengal Renaissance and the father of modern Bengali language, Rabindranath Tagore (1861 -1941), Asia’s first Nobel Laureate, r

In this paper, a systematic robust control design and analysis for a single axis precise positioner is presented. The effects of uncertainties on closed-loop stability and performance are considered in the H∞ robust controllers design. v-gap met- ric is utilized to validate the intelligently estimated uncertainty. The robust controllers are formu

Lead chalcogenides (LCs) exhibit non-stability and lower device efficiency due to smaller bandgap (Eg) leading to poor optical properties for photovoltaic (PV) applications. In this work, optical properties of transition metals (TMs) such as (Mn and Fe) co-doped with LCs especially PbS in the framework of DFT+U (8 eV) and L/APW+lo method are theore

A Hierarchical Torus Network (HTN) is a 2D-torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 3D-torus networks that are hierarchically interconnected for higher-level networks. Three deadlock-free adaptive routing algorithms called link-selection, channel-selection, and a combination of link-selection and channel-selection was

Computer malwares are major threats that always find a way to penetrate the network, posing threats to the confidentiality, integrity and the availability of data. Network-borne malwares penetrate networks by exploiting vulnerabilities in networks and systems. IT administrators in campus wide network continue to look for security control solutions

Under-reporting of self-reported energy intake (EI) has been described in female, overweight, and pregnant subjects but little is known about its prevalence in severely obese pregnancy. This study aimed to assess this in severely obese pregnant women (body mass index ≥40 kg/m2 ) who completed a food frequency questionnaire at 28 weeks gestation f

Women's rights in Islam have remained a controversial subject for decades, partly contributed by misconceptions in translating the law into practical reality. In another dimension; many cultural practices commonly practised by Muslims; particularly in Muslim countries often reflect negative treatment towards women. Therefore, this chapter will
