Doorstep selling or also known as a door-to-door sale is a common method of business of direct selling companies. Unlike sale in a retail outlet, doorstep selling has raised particular consumer protection issues. These include interference with privacy, coercion, restriction on consumer choice, lack of information about the product and the supplier

A study was conducted to demonstrate feasibility of designing and developing a reliable and real-time monitoring methodology based on statistical pattern recognition for early detection of defects in small, low-alloy steel vessels. These low-alloy steel vessels were pressurized at high temperature with an aqueous hydrogen sulfide solution. A portab

The most common method used in the majority of higher education institutions remain to teach ethic as a standalone course. However, the courses currently offered appear insufficient to provide the students with the necessary ethics education needed by a practicing engineer. Hence, the need for some additional education in engineering ethics is a lo

The density and elastic moduli of green compacts can be determined by ultrasonic method with the help of pre-prepared diagrams. In this way, pressing conditions can be taken under control easily. In this study, fly ash particles were used as fillers in an aluminum alloy matrix material. The weight fractions of fly ash in the composites were in the

The theory of mathematics and modeling has long been introduced in the field of urban planning. Specifically modeling which was earlier introduced has started to develop by late 1960s. Modeling was used in various planning specialization such as economics, transportation, urbanization, ecology, and others. Remote Sensing application was also used i

Focusing on optimizing the total power consumption of the vehicle, two main issues were studied in this paper. First, a theoretical model is developed to minimize total power consumption of the vehicle. Second, a control scheme is proposed to achieve the control targets and to minimize the power consumption by using a fuzzy logic controller. Compar

Melioidosis has a high annual incidence and mortality rate in Pahang, Malaysia. We initiated the first melioidosis registry in the country on 1st July 2005 to improve the management of melioidosis in the state. Continuous medical education on melioidosis was carried out in all hospitals in the state to highlight the magnitude of the disease and to

Cost effectiveness, availability and adsorptive properties are the main criteria for choosing the bioadsorbent to remove organic compounds from wastewater. Considering these criteria, an active bioadsorbent was prepared by immobilizing the commercial activated carbon with the fungal biomass through the fermentation process. The potential strains we

This study describes the length–weight (LWR) and length– length (LLR) relationships for ten small indigenous fish species from the lower part of the Ganges, Bangladesh, namely Ailia coila, Amblypharyngodon mola, Aspidoparia morar, Clupisoma atherinoides, Eutropiichthyes vacha, Glossogobius giuris, Gudusia chapra, Lepidocephalus guntea, Mystus v
