World Wide statistics show the increasing number of properties such as cars, house, and offices, in term of production and theft attempts. There is a big international effort in research and industrial production done to develop and produce security systems, but we still in need for more improvement since the number of theft cases are still increas

This paper advocates two main arguments: (1) that a terrorist attack may not be an ‘armed attack’ under Article 51 of the UN Charter to justify the use of military force in self-defence if a State is not responsible for it and if the attack is not of such gravity as to amount to an actual armed attack conducted by regular armed forces; and (2)

The scalable video coding is the extension of H.264/AVC. The features in scalable video coding, are the standard features in H.264/AVC and some features which is supporting the scalability of the encoder. Those features add more complexity in SVC encoder. In this paper, complexity evaluation of scalable video coding has been performed. Different sc

Organizations need to establish effective IT governance practices in order to stay competitive. The aim of this research is to determine the extent of IT governance practices in Malaysian public sector and to determine factors contributes towards IT governance practices. Questionnaire was constructed and distributed to IT management level personnel

The area of administration of estates in West Malaysia is currently governed by various statutes and procedures which confer different jurisdiction to different categories of administrative bodies, depending on the types of estates left by the deceased. Undeniably, the presence of various laws and administrative bodies has led to non-uniformity in

Advanced material characterization (AMC) techniques are becoming popular because of continual innovation of different types of materials especially on nanomaterials. Moreover, advances in nanomaterials are attributed partially to the advances in materials characterization tools (also considered as analytical methods and tools) which has allowed nan

Problem statement: In previous researches, we investigated the security of communication channels, which utilizes authentication, key distribution between two parties, error corrections and cost establishment. In the present work, we studied new concepts of Quantum Authentication (QA) and sharing key according to previous points. Approach: This stu

In this global era, IT investment is rapidly increasing. IT governance practices must be emphasized in order to retrieve competitive advantage from IT investment. The aim of this research is to develop IT governance practices model for Malaysian public sector. Interview sessions with IT personnel at management level at Putrajaya were conducted. Bas

The selection of the correct materials for a design is a key step in the process because it is the crucial decision that links computer calculations and lines on an engineering drawing with a working design. Materials, and manufacturing processes which convert the material into a useful part, underpin all of engineering design. In the relation of d

The scalable video coding H.264/SVC is the video coding standard which is an extension of H.264/AVC. Because of its scalability, H.264/SVC has gained a great interest in video transmission. Partial bit stream can be transmitted and decoded by the H.264/SVC in order to provide quality in lower temporal or spatial resolutions or reduced fidelity whil
