This research was conducted to investigate the use of Blackboard by faculty members in the Colleges of Applied Sciences in the Sultanate of Oman and the factors affecting their use. A questionnaire was completed online by 257faculty members representing 43.05% of the total faculty population in these colleges. Results showed that Blackboard is stil

This study was carried out to isolate and detect the enterocin genes of the bacteriocin producing strain Enterococcus mundtii C4L10 isolated from Malaysian non-broiler chicken. Amplified bacteriocin encoding genes were extracted from the total genome of Enterococcus mundtii strain C4L10 using specific sets of primers. The translated protein of the

In IMM traffic, while establishing a voice or video conversation, the sender and the receiver (the participants) should be mutually benefited by ensuring QoS like minimum data loss, sharing sufficient bandwidth and achieving high throughput over the WCN. To improve the network performance, scheduling mechanism is a challenging issue in the transmis

One of the wide engineering fields is aircraft technologies and one of the most common needs for Airplane or UAV is estimating the altitude, which is some time difficult to estimate due to weather fluctuations and instability of the main parameters like pressure and speed. However, a combination of different sensors has been used to estimate altitu

This paper proposes an efficient FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) based real time video processing platform for monocular object detection. Algorithms that depend on the background subtraction techniques were proposed on FPGA. Due to its paramount importance for background subtraction algorithms to disregard unimportant movements such as camera

Modelling and simulation are essential parts in the study of dynamic systems behaviours. In nuclear engineering, modelling and simulation are important to assess the expected results of an experiment before the actual experiment is conducted or in the design of nuclear facilities. In education, modelling can give insight into the dynamic of systems

Ionic conducting polymer thin films consist of poly (ethylene oxide)-chitosan blend, ammonium iodide NH4I and iodine crystal I2 were prepared by solution cast technique at room temperature. To improve the mechanical properties of the polymer thin film, chitosan (C6 H11 NO4) is added to the electrolyte, ammonium iodide (NH4I) is added to supply char

Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) negotiation opens door of opportunities as well as challenges to Malaysia. The key concern is the involvement of the US which is feared to bring in many WTOPlus commitments in the agreement, even though the TPPA may help to provide significant market in terms of penetrating to the US huge market. Many prov

Being a party to Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) negotiation opens door of opportunities as well as challenges to Malaysia. The key concern is the involvement of the US which is feared to bring in many WTO-Plus commitments in the agreement, even though the TPPA may help to provide significant market in terms of penetrating to the US huge

This study intends to examine whether work autonomy impacts academic staff members’ job satisfaction of state universities in Sri Lanka. As the research approach, a quantitative approach was employed. In collecting data, a structured questionnaire was used to collect responses from fifteen government universities in Sri Lanka. The multi-stage str
