In spite of previous common assumptions about the incompatibility of public key cryptography (PKC) schemes with wireless sensor networks (WSNs), recent works have shown that they can be utilized for such networks in some manner. The major challenge of employing a PKC-based scheme in a wireless sensor network is posed by the resource limitations of

The specific objective of this paper is to generate and analyze the average correlation coefficient between Malaysian equity market and other selected countries equity markets during the period of 17 years from January 1987 to December 2003. The study employs Linear Regression Model to determine the correlation coefficients between Malaysia and oth

This paper proposes a public key based management scheme for secure sensor network operation namely S-PkSec (Public Key Based Security for Sensor Networks) and emphasizes detailed comparison with some similar type of schemes. Although there was a wide held belief of the incompatibility of public key cryptographic (PKC) schemes for wireless sensor n

This paper reports on behavioral norms and territoriality as part of behavioral and environmental mechanisms used to regulate privacy among urban Malay families living in terrace housing. In-depth interview was employed involving 11 case studies of Malay families living in three-bedroom two-storey terrace housings in the urban areas. Findings indic

Recent emergence of electronic culture uplifts healthcare facilities to a new era with the aid of wireless sensor network (WSN) technology. Due to the sensitiveness of medical data, austere privacy and security are inevitable for all parts of healthcare systems. However, the constantly evolving nature and constrained resources of sensors in WSN inf

Gain improvement in a dual-stage S-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (S-band EDFA) is demonstrated using a broadband fiber Bragg grating (FBG) operating in the conventional-band (C-band) region or a C-band/S-band wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) coupler which filters out the forward C-band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in the amplifier

Contemporary discussion about ‘religious fetishism’ includes two interrelated themes. First is the concept of religious fetishism itself which is associated to the tribal religions and totems who worshipped ‘an inanimate object for its magical power’ or the belief in the soul of the departed coming to dwell in anything that is tangible in h

Malaysia now has become less dependent on the primary commodity exports to generate economic growth and employment. But the recent financial crisis had indicated that Malaysia should not underestimate the importance of its primary commodity sector. In particular, the palm oil export performed beyond expectations during the Asian financial crisis, w
