This paper highlights our work in developing an enhanced security framework for Bluetooth-based wireless personal area networks (WPANs). The basic security architecture of Bluetooth, operating at the link layer, is augmented with a higher application layer security mechanism for authentication and message integrity. This is necessary since the pres

This work is a contribution on the problem of the existence of Berge equilibrium. Abalo and Kostreva give an existence theorem for this equilibrium that appears in the papers [K.Y. Abalo, M.M. Kostreva, Berge equilibrium: Some recent results from fixed-point theorems, Appl. Math. Comput. 169 (2005) 624–638; K.Y. Abalo, M.M. Kostreva, Some existen

We investigated the common carotid artery (CCA) blood flow velocity in 5 healthy sedentary subjects using continuous wave (CW) Doppler ultrasound velocimeter which developed in our laboratory. The present study aimed to investigate non-invasively the effects of a short-term 4 week aerobic training program on the resting CCA blood velocity waveforms

This study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a Basic Islamic Parenting (BIP) course in providing information, awareness, and skills on various aspects of parenting. It also attempted to list major concerns and issues in parenting that can help improve future related courses. Data were obtained through a survey and an open standardized interv

Due to their vulnerability, children’s generations are dependent on adults as their guardians.. They are in need of care and financial support in order to develop successfully as future leaders and sustainers. Under Islamic law, parents are the most common guardian and are responsible for children’s custody and maintenance. Nevertheless, there

This paper presents an experimental study of the effect of a directionally porous wing tip on the tip vortex using particle image velocimetry (PIV) on a half wing model with NACA 653218 as its airfoil section. Four different configurations of the directionally porous wing tip are tested. The vortex generated by the wing tips are examined at four di

Objective: Transgender women (TGW) is a unique group with many health issues related to them unexplored. For example, there is severely lacking evidence on oral health related quality of life (OHRQOL) among TGW. Therefore, this research aims to assess the OHRQOL among TGW in Malaysia and its associated factors. Materials and methods: This was a cro
