This paper presents key features and challenges for the development of the next generation ontology matcher. Matching elements of two data instances plays an important role in e-business, multilingual data instances, biomedical and open data cloud. This paper elaborates technologies, tools, algorithms and methods used by recent ontology matchers. O

Rehabilitation therapy after stroke is crucial to helping patients regain as much as possible the use of their paretic limbs. The major challenges, however, in conventional post-stroke rehabilitation therapy is that the therapy is labour intensive, time demanding, and therefore, expensive with consequent reduction in the amount of training session

Instead of titanium dioxide (TiO2), many researches have been done to explore the compatibility of zinc oxide (ZnO) to be used as the active layer of memristor. In this study, an Au/ZnO-Cu2O-CuO/Cu memristor was fabricated using dilute electrodeposition and subsequently thermal oxidation. The XRD result indicates that Zn was oxidized to ZnO and has

Silicon based devices are getting problem with the limitation of channel length for fabrication of the miniature size. Short channel effects are creating such problem of the silicon devices. Thus CNT is a smart choice for replacement with the silicon. A brief analysis of the effect of short channel carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET) i

Research method in visual comfort area developed from a general to a more specific framework: from a consideration of window and lighting of office buildings in general to the specific daylight assessment of an experimental office. The investigation is divided into 4 parts: the survey-questionnaire, the field measurement, the subjective assessment

One of the concepts Islam considers important for human prosperity is the concept of barakah (Divine blessing). It is the increase in quality and quantity of God’s blessing via unseen ways to human life. The word barakah also means to make the felicity constant and permanent, which also means abundance and the continuity of that. However, with mo

Background Tumor necrosis factor–related apoptosis‐inducing ligand (TRAIL) has the ability to inhibit angiogenesis by inducing endothelial cell death, as well as being able to promote pro‐angiogenic activity in vitro. These seemingly opposite effects make its role in ischemic disease unclear. Using Trail−/− and wildtype mice, we sought to

Information security risk assessment (RA) plays an important role in the organization’s future strategic planning. Generally there are two types of RA approaches: quantitative RA and qualitative RA. The quantitative RA is an objective study of the risk that use numerical data. On the other hand, the qualitative RA is a subjective evaluation based

Glare is one of the main problems that cause daylight to be visually undesirable in a hot humid country such as Malaysia. However, the design of modern buildings in Malaysia applies large glass windows and some partially covered with various design of shading devices, which are merely for aesthetic reason. Having sun shading devices have not solved

Impedance-based structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques have been developed as a promising tool for real-time structural damage assessment, and are considered as a new nondestructive evaluation method. It is gaining popularity due to its potential of reducing maintenance costs while increasing safety and reliability. This article present the
