Background: There is discordance between knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) and true diabetic control in many previous study. The current study attempts to analyze patients’ perception of their diabetic control in association with true diabetic control in terms of glycated hemoglobin (HBA1C). Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed inv

Information is one of the most crucial assets of current day organizations. However, managing this information has become a never ending challenge. Adequate security and privacy are of great essence for information systems containing valuable data and information. Leakage of such information can facilitate large-scale identity theft and successful

A rectangular box shaped granite specimen was subjected to varying stiffness projectile impacts on its unconfined edge to investigate the rock damage. Three kinds of projectiles were used, namely chrome steel, copper 102 and pure lead. In comparison to high constraint impact, unconfined edge impact of varying projectile stiffness for brittle target

Background: Radio-ablative iodine (RAI) is one of the treatment of choice for thyrotoxicosis. This study was done to determine the remission rate of thyrotoxicosis after radio-active iodine-131 (RAI) therapy and the factors associated with repeat RAI therapy at our centre. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 69 thyrotoxic patients who rec

Medical practitioners are regarded as one of the noble professions in society. Muslim medical practitioners are bound to the rulings of the syari'ah, even in providing health services. Most discussions related to doctor-patient relationship focused on codes of conducts such as medical ethics, professionalism, and confidentiality. These were deb

We provide an example of Lyapunov for doubly stochastic operators on a finite dimensional simplex. Besides we study the limit behavior of the trajectories of some extreme doubly stochastic operators on two dimensional simplex. We prove that except for certain points the trajectories of extreme doubly stochastic operators tend to the center of two d

The purpose of the paper is to extend the notion of dissipativity of maps on infinite-dimensional simplex. We study the fixed points of dissipative quadratic stochastic operators on infinite-dimensional simplex. Besides, we study the limit behavior of the trajectories of such operators. We also show the difference of dissipative operators defined o

In on-board electronic circuits the use of DC-DC converters is very common for translation and stability of DC levels. These converters are used primarily to step-up or step-down DC levels, they are also employed for steady DC voltage output generated from ambient energy sources such as solar and wind power. In such converters, an inductor plays a
