Design metrics play an important role to help developers understand the software design aspects which later can be used to improve software quality. This paper provides empirical evidence supporting the role of object-oriented (OO)coupling and cohesion metrics, using a subset of Chidamber and Kemerer OO metrics suite, in predicting the post-deliver

Background: With evolving evidence of association between tuberculosis (TB) and tobacco smoking,recommendations for the inclusion of tobacco cessation interventions in TB care are becoming increasingly important and more widely disseminated. Connecting TB and tobacco cessation interventions has been strongly advocated as this may yield better outco

This research work was carried out to investigate the phytochemical constituents as well as the pharmacological prooperties of ‘Bacopa monnieri’. The project work reveals that the plant has antibacterial and antimutagenic activities. Thus an attempt was made to reinvestigate aforementioned antimicrobial as well as cytotoxic properties for the b

This paper focuses on identifying the important aspects of Agile adoption from software practitioners in Malaysia. We analyse 27 Agile adoption variables from a survey of early Agile users in Malaysia. Factor analysis is conducted to identify the clusters of the variables (or items) and how they are inter-related to produce factors. Most of the res

Penetrating injury to the head is considered a form of severe traumatic brain injury. Although uncommon, most neurosurgical centres would have experienced treating patients with such an injury. Despite the presence of well written guidelines for managing these cases, surgical treatment requires an individualized approach tailored to the situation a

A widely accepted assumption is that better interior environment produces better results is designed with due importance to the nature of job and the individuals that are going to work in the office. A various studies have been made by previous researchers that have proved these co-relations but the same studies are still fairly new in Malaysian co

We investigate glucose oxidase-laccase EFC employing simplified system design – freely suspended enzymes in a membraneless, single chamber cell. The highly specific enzyme reaction mechanisms permit such system design. The EFC comprises nickel mesh as the oxidative current collector and a carbon-based air electrode as the reductive current collec

Experimental results of passive drag reduction are presented for the case of a two-dimensional cylinder. Measurements of the wake velocity profile of the cylinder were performed using a pitot-static tube. Tabs were mounted on the cylinder. Tab spacing, size and tab angle were varied. Twodimensional drag was computed using the measured velocities an

The mathematical model of a winged hybrid airship is developed for the analysis of its dynamic stability characteristics. A full set of nonlinear equations of motion of the hybrid airship is determined and adequate assumptions are made in order to apply any relevant computation and estimation methods. The design of the hybrid airship is slightly mo

It is a challenge that the dissecting room still has a place in teaching gross anatomy. Understanding the students’ perceptions and experiences of learning anatomy is important to get sound knowledge of the human body. This study was conducted to assess which teaching aid would facilitate students’ understanding of the human body in order to ge
