Learning styles theory is widely acknowledged amongst educational theorists. However, there is little research evidence on the adoption and adaptation of learning styles in an e-Learning environment, specifically in respect of personalised learning environments. In this context, evidence identifies that the more thoroughly instructors understand th

This study was designed to validate the model of science teachers’ support of psychologicalbasic needs on student engagement. In the model, we also examined the relationships of each support namely autonomy, competence and relatedness based on the framework of Basic Psychological needs theory by Deci and Ryan (1985) and Skinner and Belmont (1993)

In this paper we propose a scheme that provides physical layer security by combining two techniques known as encryption and channel pre-compensation. Encryption transforms the original signal constellation into a higher order constellation based on the key sequence generated by AES in counter-mode. Channel pre-compensation is performed based on the

The research aims to determine the level of top management commitment towards quality management and whether there is significant difference on top management commitment towards quality management implementation between construction organizations with and without ISO 9000 certification. The research methodology of questionnaire survey is applied in

In this paper we consider the problem of secure communication between two nodes, over a fading wireless medium, in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. We propose a scheme that provides security based on transforming the basic signal constellation to a higher order signal constellation with the help of conventional encryption method and then usi

Microcantilever-based glucose sensor is a state-of-art sensor that has been widely investigated for biosensing applications. This work focuses on the preliminary study of correlation of the glucose reaction and the induced force on the microcantilever sensor by measuring the induced mass changes due to the glucose reaction. The induced force is the

Islamic state has always been the focal of political analysis and is viewed by some people as the essence of the study of political science. Therefore, it is necessary in any study concerning state to discuss its duties and functions. For state regardless of its contents, throughout different epochs of history and through different models attempts

Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) accumulates at the leading edge of migrating cells and works, at least partially, as both a compass to indicate directionality and a hub for subsequent intracellular events. However, how PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 regulates the migratory machinery has not been fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrate a n

As technology such as the Internet, computers and mobile devices become ubiquitous throughout society, the need to ensure our information remains secure is imperative. Unfortunately, it has long been understood that good security cannot be achieved through technical means alone and a solid understanding of the issues and how to protect yourself is

Objective: A reliable database on the causes and contributing factors of medication errors can inform strategies for their prevention. To form a single database from multiple databases requires a process of integration that both maximizes the utility of the new data and minimizes the loss of information. Unfortunately, the terminologies used by dif
