Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide, with about 677,000 deaths each year. The term transitional mucosa™ was coined by Filipe in 1969 to describe alterations in the morphology and mucin histochemistry of the large intestinal mucosa immediately adjacent to colorectal adenocarcinomas. The TM is considered as an important pro

Recently, many researchers are interested with Free Space Optics (FSO) communication since its deliver wireless data transmission between transceivers. One of the key challenges with FSO systems is maintaining alignment between transceivers. Since the beam signal is transmitted through the free space, the optical signal propagation is affected by a

This study, by employing structural vector auto regression models, investigates the macroeconomic effects of world oil and food price shocks in the context of selected Asia and Pacific countries. The study reveals that the economic activities of resource-poor countries that specialise in heavy manufacturing industries, like Korea and Taiwan, are hi

Preference queries are considered as a major necessity tool in today’s database management system (DBMS). Adopting preference queries in the database application systems enable users to determine more than one objective in the submitted query which result into more accurate results compared to the traditional queries. Preference queries prefer on
