This study examined the levels of green computing knowledge between students and lecturers, and between ICT and non-ICT respondents in a public university in Malaysia. Two types of green computing knowledge were assessed, perceived knowledge and objective knowledge. Perceived knowledge was assessed through respondents’ self-rating of how much the

Krüppel-like factor 3 (KLF3) is a transcriptional regulator that we have shown to be involved in the regulation of adipogenesis in vitro. Here, we report that KLF3-null mice are lean and protected from diet-induced obesity and glucose intolerance. On a chow diet, plasma levels of leptin are decreased, and adiponectin is increased. Despite signific

Bills of Quantities (BQ) are an indispensable tool for the management of a construction project. In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted to assess its applicability and many without doubt have recognized its significance in the construction process. Despite this recognition, reviews of the literatures have suggested that the BQ is fla

Wireless LAN technologies have picked up momentum in the recent years due to their ease of deployment, cost and availability. The era of wireless LAN has also given rise to unique applications like VOIP, IPTV and unified messaging. However, these real-time applications are very sensitive to network and handoff latencies. To successfully support the

A compact low profile patch antenna for Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag for metallic applications is presented in this research study. By employing two gap-coupled C-shaped patches, wide half-power impedance bandwidth (RL ≥3 dB) of 152 MHz is achieved for universal application UHF (860-960 MHz) RFID. Moreover,

Background: Extended spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs) represent a major group of lactamases responsible for resistance, mostly produced by gram-negative bacteria, to newer generations of ß-lactam drugs currently being identified in large numbers worldwide. The present study was undertaken to see the frequency of ESBL producing Pseudomonas spp. isola

A planar wideband patch antenna for ultra�high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFI D) tag for metallic applications is presented in this research work. Three different shape patches are inductively coupled to a triangle loop to excite three resonances close to each other to f orm wide impedance bandwidth for universal application

In this research, a planar wideband microstrip patch antenna for passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is proposed. To enable universal operation by covering the operating frequency of ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID band from 860 MHz to 960 MHz, two C-shaped patches are employed. Both of the patches are inductively coupled fed by a rec

Background: quality awards are known as one of the research interests in quality management sector. Objective: This study tries to compare quality awards. Results: In the first part we focused on Malaysian quality award, aim to introduce it as one of the successful quality awards systems. Then in the next phase of the paper we try to review the joi

Let F stand for the feld of real or complex numbers, \phi : F^n\rightarrow F^n be any given polynomial map of the form \phi(x) = x + "higher order terms". We attach to it the following operator D : F[x]\rightarrow F[x] defined by D(f) = f-f\circle\phi, where F[x] = F[x_1; x_2; ...; x_n]- the F-algebra of polynomials in variables x_1; x_2;..
