Plants are regularly exposed to unfavorable conditions that impose stress. Lead (Pb), is one of the major pollutants in the environment that causes serious public health and environmental concerns. Increasing levels of lead could also have severe consequences for plants. Plants exposed to lead stress initiate signaling pathways, and make specific c

Urban poverty is inextricably linked to rural poverty. In fact, the former is caused by the latter. The ‘Pull’ and the ‘Push’ factors can significantly explain the prevailing dismal conditions associated with urban poverty. While the goal of faster development manifest through commercialization, modernization and urbanization contributed to

The essential oils from the dried leaves of Thymus capitatus was isolated by steam distillation. The collected oil were analyzed by GC-MS and also evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity. Twenty-two compounds, constituting about 95.4% of the total oil, were identified. The main constituents were thymol (39.2%), p-cymene (19.4%), carvacrol (11

he extracts from seven species of marine sponges and corals collected from Langkawi and Pulau Ular, Cherating were screen for antibacterial activity using disc diffusion method and microdilution method against four tested bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus anthracis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Overall, 71.4% of the all sp

As more socially and environmentally conscious consumers, investors and wider stakeholders have started to question the business practices of organizations, so firms have had to review their business and marketing strategies, the way they produce their products and deliver services from a corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business/marketing

Sejak mata pelajaran Sejarah diserap dalam Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah (KBSM) sebagai kurikulum teras, usaha-usaha untuk meningkatkan keberkesanan pembelajaran Sejarah dalam kalangan pelajar diberikan tumpuan khusus. Hal ini diakui oleh Nik Azleena Nik Ismail (2007) bahawa pembelajaran Sejarah perlu lebih radikal, menarik dan bersifat sema

Wheat is the second staple food of Bangladesh. In this paper we constructed a dynamic model for wheat price. Basically we constructed a single equation autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model of the price (quarterly wholesale wheat price). Standard ARIMA analysis rests on the simplifying assumption that the time series is stationary.

The complexity of an interconnection network often determines the size of the parallel computer and thus the attainable performance of a parallel computer is limited by the characteristics of the interconnection network. Pruning technique reduces the complexity and hence increases the performance. In this paper, we apply the pruning technique on Hi

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have recently gained a lot of popularity due to their rapid deployment and instant communication capabilities. WMNs are dynamically self-organizing, self-configuring and self-healing with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an adiej hoc network and preserving the mesh connectivity. Designing a routing p

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are dynamically self-organized and self-configured, with the nodes in the network automatically establishing an ad hoc network and preserving the mesh connectivity. There are several features which might help to design an efficient routing protocol suitable for wireless mesh networks such as improved performance metric
