This chapter describes the main heterogeneous networks (PSTN, SS7, ISDN, IP Network, WLAN, GSM, GPRS and UMTS) in terms of their components and services. These heterogeneous networks were designed to provide a specific service, which are initially distinct, and then converge into a single network. Voice over IP is a clear example of such convergent

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biochemical effects and histopathological alterations of the ethanolic extracts of Garcinia mangostana pericarps (GME) on STZ-induced diabetic rats. Oral administration of GME at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg b.w. were given to STZ-induced diabetic and normoglycaemic albino rats. The serum biochemic

Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) fruit hull has been proven for many years as traditional treatment for skin infection, wounds and inflammatory diseases diabetes?. The study is aimed to investigate hypoglycaemic activity of Methanolic extract of Garcinia mangostana Linn. pericarp (GME) in streptozotocin-induced (STZ) diabetic rats. Oral admin

This study explored Malaysian university students’ awareness of green computing in two aspects, i.e. vocabulary and issues, and sought to ascertain whether these two aspects were influenced by gender and field of study (ICT versus non-ICT). A total of 224 university students from ICT- and non-ICT related fields participated in the survey. Student

This paper presents an evolutionary optimization based LQR controller design for an inverted pendulum system. The objective is to address the challenges of appropriate design parameters selection in LQR controller while providing optimal performance compromise between the system control objectives with respect to pendulum angle and position respons

مما لا جدال فيه بين الدارسين والباحثين أن دخول الإسلام إلى أرض جاوة (يطلق مصطلح "جاوة" (Java) في الأدبيات العربية، والدراسات الاستشراقية أيضا، قبل منتصف القرن العشرين الميلادي على الإقليم ال�

Language policy decisions in multi-ethnic Malaysia never fail to attract contestations. Several major language policy decisions in recent times have rocked the nation’s education system to the core. The government’s latest decision to abolish the policy “English for teaching Mathematics and Science” after a run of nine years (ETeMS) and in

RFID tags, sensors embedded with buried devices and biomedical implants all operate at low voltage levels due to power limitations. The ever increasing use these embedded devices has also created a demand in the industry for lowvoltage power supplies. Since many of these circuits are mobile in nature and so are bound to operate in many different en

The degradation potential and ligninolytic enzyme production of two isolated Panus tigrinus strains (M609RQY and M109RQY) were evaluated in this study. These strains were grown on three selected abundant agro-industrial wastes (rice straw; rice husk and cassava peel) under solid-state fermentation conditions. Degradation potential was determined by

‘Sustainability’ as a terminology, is a broad concept and a requirement in building designs with a tendency of being abuse through trendy and over commercialisation. In the arena of hospital design, new is usually associated to being modern and therefore, green. In the quest of getting to know the “tree” from “the forest” from among the
