This paper examines the relationship among exports, foreign direct investment(FDI), education spending and Malaysia’s economic development using the cointegration technique, VECM, and the Granger causality test. The results suggest that the variables: GDP, exports, foreign direct investment and education spending are cointegrated. The estimated l

Two 20 cm sediment cores were collected with a D-section corer in the Kemaman-Chukai mangrove forest and analyzed for 210Pbex (excess 210Pb) in order to understand the sedimentation pattern. The activities of 210Pb along with the 208Po tracer were measured by Alpha Spectrometry on a silicon surface barrier detector connected to a multi channel anal

A business entity is basically a business structure which is recognised by law as a valid medium of carrying on trade. The most common business entities are sole proprietorships, partnerships (firms) and companies. In Malaysia, these are the only three types of business structures available in the market place.

Unlimited liability of partners is undoubtedly the hallmark of partnerships structure/laws. This principle emphasises on partners having collective responsibilities for debts and liabilities of the firm. The extent of unlimited liability of partners in partnership includes their personal assets. The principle of unlimited liability in partnership i

Wounds due to injuries for various reasons and for the diabetic patients havebeen a major public health concern. In search for a wound healing agent of herbal origin, earlier we have reported the efficiency of the green (unripe) Carica papaya extracts (GPE) for wound healing [1]. Here we report that addition of zinc and selenium with GPE results in

The protracted conflict in the oil rich Niger Delta area in Nigeria and the Gulf of Guinea harbours complex implications for security in the region. At the centre of the conflict is the agitation by the mainly Ijaw and Ogoni ethnic nationalities for mineral resource control, national self-determination and/or more robust constitutional integration

Optimization of decolorization of methylene blue (MB) dye by lignin peroxidase (LiP) enzyme produced by white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium using sewage treatment plant (STP) sludge as a major substratewas carried out in the laboratory.Optimization by the one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) and statistical approachwas carried out to determine the

Hypertension is a prevalent chronic disease, which is strongly related to the development of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of hypertension in Malaysia in subjects aged 15 years and above was estimated to be 27.8%. Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) compares treatment options with different effectiveness and safety profi

The aim of this research is to develop a new model for estimating tool life during high speed hard turning based on the relationship between the flank wear progress and time. During high speed hard turning the dominating basic wears in the flank land are abrasive, adhesive, and diffusive. For that reasons the estimation of tool life should be based

Institutions of higher learning are working hard to provide effective, high quality educational programs. Meanwhile, potential students are also looking at “quality” as a metric to help make their decisions about which college to join. Mechanisms to evaluate the quality of higher education offered in universities are already available. This stu
