Anisophyllea disticha is one of the species of genus Anisophyllea that are being used by the folklore in treating diarrhea, dysentery, jaundice, revitalizing the birth canal of women, relieving weariness and body aches as well as acting as anti-aging and body refreshment. Different parts of A. disticha were tested for total phenolic content and ant

The enhancement in technology has sped the search process making more information available to users in a short amount of time. This also involves semantically enriched data for CLIR, which can either be in the form of different language or different writing system. This book investigated the retrieval performance of Quranic texts translation of Pi

It has been suggested that the use of English among Malays is constrained by the intertwining of ethnic identity, religion and native language. This study investigated the possibility of a ‘third space’ (Bhabha, 1994) for a group of Malay-speaking English majors in an English-medium university in Malaysia. Using Norton’s (2013) identity appro

The scope of this research is DSQO in order to generate models that will be applied for the consensus problem in MAS. The majorization concept, stochastic matrix, doubly stochastic matrix and QSO theory are included in this research to build the DSQO. The previous works have focused on the design of linear and nonlinear consensus for consensus prob

This technical note addresses the new nonlinear protocol class of doubly stochastic quadratic operators (DSQOs) for coordination of consensus problem in multi-agent systems (MAS). We derive the conditions for ensuring that every agent reaches consensus on a desired rate of the group’s decision where the group decision value in its agent’s initi

We define a complementary stochastic quadratic operator on finite-dimensional space as a new sub-class of quadratic stochastic operator. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for complementary stochastic quadratic operator.

This book aims to investigate the students’ collocational competence by examining the relationship between the knowledge of lexical collocation and their speaking proficiency as well as to identify the patterns of collocational mis(use) among them. The respondents involved comprised 30 students of Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK). A lexical col

This paper reports on a new method used to estimate the spark radius in the gap during electrical discharge machining (EDM). This method combines the heat flux and energy equations of the copper electrode. The energy partition between workpiece and electrode (tool) due to EDM process was estimated using the ratio of thermal conductivity of the work

This paper seeks to develop an Islamic investment framework for maritime assets. Following the recent global financial crisis, the financial performance of international ship-owners has been significantly eroded in the presence of debt-based finance and volatile maritime earnings. Accordingly, this paper seeks to develop an Islamic investment frame

Under short messaging service (SMS) spam is understood the unsolicited or undesired messages received on mobile phones. These SMS spams constitute a veritable nuisance to the mobile subscribers. This marketing practice also worries service providers in view of the fact that it upsets their clients or even causes them lose subscribers. By way of mit
