This research deals with a study of regional architecture in two (2) regions of two (2) countries: West Sumatra, Indonesia, and Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Both regions are said to have very similar regional architecture as some of the people of Minangkabau, a tribe in Indonesia, migrated to Malaysia to look for a greener pasture. Recent visit in We

Malaysian students are normally required to show a certain level of English language proficiency before they are offered a place by a local institution of higher learning. One of the examinations conducted to ascertain their level of proficiency is the Malaysian University English Test (MUET). Apart from MUET some universities also conduct their ow

Water resources management is a continuous challenge in the Sultanate of Oman. Owing to its rapid development during the last 30 years, the growing economy has brought an increase in urbanization with a high demand for quality water supplies. Increasing demands to be met include agriculture, population increase and rapid industrial and commercialde

We investigate the properties of modulational instability and discrete breathers in the cubic–quintic discrete nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation. We analyze the regions of modulational instabilities of nonlinear plane waves. Using the Page approach [J.B. Page, Phys. Rev. B 41 (1990) 7835], we derive the conditions for the existence and stability f

The introduction of innovative systems like Spatial Planning and Decision Support System (SPDSS) can only be effective and efficient if they are integrated as part of the existing structures and working processes within the organisation. SPDSS is an approach that uses an interactive computer-based system designed to support users like town planners

We present a comparative study on Fourier-based OFDM (FFT-OFDM) and wavelet-based OFDM (DWT-OFDM)in DVB-T system (DWT being the discrete wavelet transform). We found that the DWT-OFDM outperforms FFT-OFDM in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. For AWGN channel, the gain in term of energy per bit to noise ratio Eb/No was improved by about 5 dB when t
