The cointegration technique is used to examine the long-run and short-run relationships between the real Malaysian trade balance with the real exchange rate, domestic and world incomes. The results suggest that a real ringgit exchange rate depreciation improves the trade balance in the long run. World and domestic incomes are also found to be impor

This study aims to examine the effectiveness and the practicality of the “key word method” in teaching and learning Arabic as a foreign language within the Malaysian secondary school curriculum.

This paper analyzes the performance of Malaysian bilateral exports to its major importing countries: the United States, Japan, and Singapore and then investigates whether the export performance could be improved through depreciation or devaluation of domestic currency using cointegration technique and VECM. The cointegration test suggests that real

A ZnTe/polymer junction has been fabricated and the photovoltaic properties studied. The polymer is a blend of 50 wt% chitosan and 50 wt% polyethylene oxide (PEO). The polymer blend was complexed with ammonium iodide (NH4I) and some iodine crystals were added to the polymer-NH4I solution to provide the I-/I3- redox couple. The ionic conductivity of

The early decades of the twentieth century witnessed the emergence of the salafi-inspired reform movements in various parts of Southeast Asia. Kiyai Haji Ahmad Dahlan and Muhammadiyah movement led such reform in Java whereas a group of refomlists, spearheaded by Haji Rasu!.

The present study was carried out to determine the in vitro antibacterial activity of aqueous and chloroform extracts of the leaves and fruits of Averrhoa bilimbi L. using the standard disc diffusion test. The air-dried leaves and fruits of A. bilimbi were separately soaked in distilled water or chloroform (1:10; wv-1) for 24 h and the resultant su

MRI Image rconstruction from 2D ARMA is proposed in this paper. Conventionally MRI images are reconstructed using 2D DFT in all type of MRI data acquisition techniques due to its computational effectiveness and simplicity. However the use of DFT leads to artifacts and appearance of Gibbs Ringing. Various types of windows are used to overcome this i
