The goal of this study was to predict visual acuity (VA) and contrast sensitivity function (CSF)with tissue redness grading after pterygium surgery. A total of 67 primary pterygium participants were selected from patients who visited an ophthalmology clinic. We developed a semi-automated computer program to measure the pterygium fibrovascular redne

Concerns about climate change and global warming have led many countries to initiate energy rating systems in the planning and development of the built environment. Although useful and novel, this paper contends that these ratings are only remedying and alleviating whatever negative impacts that development creates. Energy ratings are seemingly lac

This paper is part of ongoing research to explore the unique intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and practices of the Cocos Malays in Tawau, Sabah. As an emigrated community that came from Cocos (Keeling) Island to settle down in North Borneo (Sabah), Cocos Malays originated from various ethnicities, mostly of Malay origin with Islamic practices. In

This study in progress explores the unique anthropology and the dwelling culture of the Cocos Malays in Tawau, Sabah. Cocos Malays is a race of people from Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the Indian Ocean who emigrated to North Borneo (Tawau) in the early 1950s. Started by being slaves to the British on the islands and later becoming an independent soci

Environmental concern on climate change have greater impact to urban health around the globe. Temperature risk, water quality status and air pollution are major threat for living environment including urban biodiversity. Thus, the aim of the paper are to investigate environmental attitude among people in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There are five urban

We demonstrate a Q-switched Raman fiber laser (RFL) using a newly developed Titanium dioxide (TiO2) film based saturable absorber (SA). The SA is fabricated by mixing the dispersed TiO2 suspension into a polyvinyl alcohol solution to form a precursor which is then transformed into a thin film through a drying process at room temperature. It is sand

Energy for lighting consumes about 12% of the world demand. All buildings including universities consume a significant amount of lighting energy but has the most potential in reducing lighting energy consumption. This research was aimed at exploring the use of lighting technology as a way of improving energy efficiency at the Agriculture Faculty Bu

Characters and competencies matter the most in leadership theories. Conventional institutions have glittering records of training leaders and managers in developing the right competencies but they generally fail in characters building. In 2006, Harry Lewis, the former dean of Harvard College described Harvard as a “university without a soul ”.

The high performance network-on-chip (NoC) router using minimal hardware resources to minimize the layout area is very essential for NoC design. In this paper, we have proposed a memory sharing method of a wormhole routed NoC architecture to alleviate the area overhead of a NoC router. In the proposed method, a memory is shared by multiple physical

Language is a system of words that particular people use to express their thoughts and feelings. The Arabic language is words that Arabs use to express their purposes. Thus, learning Arabic became a prerequisite for understanding the Holy Quran and the prophetic traditions. It and Islam concurrently came to Malaysia via Arab traders. It has been a
