Dead spot and out of coverage problem are serious problems especially in the rural and suburban areas where the network infrastructure is not deployed. In this paper, a new end to end multi hop relay scheme for vehicular communication is proposed to extend the coverage or/and relaxing frequent handoff process. The scheme allows vehicles to continue

Decision tree algorithms have the ability to deal with missing values. While this ability is considered to be advantage, the extreme effort which is required to achieve it is considered a drawback. With the missing values the correct branch could be missed. Therefore, enhanced mechanisms must be employed to handle these values. Moreover, ignoring t

Objective: The study was carried out to assess the reliability of Immunochromatographic test for gonococcal antigen in urethral swabs from suspected male patients to validate it as rapid and point-of-care test for gonorrhoea. Methodology: A total of 80 clinically suspected cases of gonorrhoea in males of different age groups attending at the Skin a

Ability to follow and track a person robustly is an essential prerequisite for human-robot-interaction. Such capability has desires, which cannot be met pleasingly using conventional numerical process. Most rigorously, the robot has to stay at a certain safe distance as of the person that is being tracked and concurrently be in motion smoothly whic

This paper aims at presenting information concerning various partnership initiatives between private sector and public sector entities in the healthcare sector in Malaysia. In additional, the study also aims to identify the importance of PPP and the key driving forces for greater implementation of PPP in the healthcare sector. In undertaking the st

given a paucity of research and apparent lack of coherence in information system research, it seems that there is no consensus in the information system field as to how security fits into the information system acceptance, usage, success, utilization, and/or performance impact (effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction). This paper is part of an

Khat is considered a psychoactive drug and has many side effects on different parts of the body organs. In this study the effects of khat on sperm count and motility in parent mice and their offspring were investigated. Animals were divided into two groups, Group 1 (khat group) contained twelve male and twelve female mice, and they were given a dai

The performance of mixed culture of isolated fungi on the biodegradation of palm oil mill effluent (POME) was evaluated in this study. Specifically, the effect of effect of dosage of the mixed culture on the degradation of lipid content of the POME was investigated in order to determine the suitable incubation for effective biodegradation. The four

Steganography is a technique used to hide a message inside video, audio, or image files. A hash function is a transformation that takes input values and returns a fixed-size string, which is called the hash value. In this paper, a message will be hidden inside an image by using the Least Significant Bits (LSB replacement) technique. This method cre

Full search block matching algorithm (FSBMA) for motion estimation requires a high level of computations, rendering the technique unsuitable for real-time imaging applications. To alleviate this problem, extensive research for developing faster motion estimation techniques has been conducted. As expected, reducing computational complexity comes at
