Background Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNST) are rare soft tissue sarcoma which exhibit a biologically aggressive behaviour with propensity for rapid progression and high mortality rate. Currently, the data for this tumour is lacking especially with regards to the Asian population. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 3

Introduction Many wearable devices monitoring have been proposed to complement self-reporting of users’ caloric intake and eating behaviours. These devices comprise varying sensing modalities, such as acoustic, visual, inertial, EEG, EMG, capacitive and piezoelectric sensors. In this research, food intake will be predicted from the input of digit

This study analyses the features of Service Quality that could impact the satisfaction of parents whose children patronize private schools in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. This study adapts the SERVQUAL model to measure service quality evident in private schools, and uses Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to evaluate the relationship between S

The main limitation of conventional antibiotic therapies concerns the low efficacy to fight bacteria attacks during long treatment times. In this context, the integrated use of electrofluidodynamics (EFDs)—basically electrospinning and electrospraying—may represent an interesting route for designing nanostructured platforms with controlled rele

Cloud computing is currently emerging quickly as a client-server technology structure and, currently, providing distributed service applications. However, given the availability of a diverse range of wireless access technologies, people expect continuous connection to the most suitable technology that matchers price affordability and performance go

In many contemporary database applications such as multi-criteria decision-making and real-time decision-support applications, data mining, ecommerce and recommendation systems, users need query operators to process the data aiming at finding the results that best fit with their preferences. Skyline queries are one of the most predominant query ope

Entre 1915 et 1916, la correspondance entre le haut commissaire en Égypte Henry McMahon et Sayyed Hussein Ben Ali, le chérif de la Mecque préfigure, avant les accords Sykes-Picot et la Déclaration Balfour, la partition coloniale du Proche-Orient. Un siècle plus tard, il est avéré que cette division est un processus dynamique qui porte toujou

Between colonialism and settler colonialism, the impossible partition of Palestine.

Smart home control system (SHCS) can be integrated into an existing home appliances to reduce the need for human intervention, increase security and energy efficiency. However, it is still an open problem due to difficulties such as network distance, signal interference, not user friendly, increased cost and power consumption. This paper reviews va

Audio compression is a method of reducing the space demand and aid transmission of the source file which then can be categorized by lossy and lossless compression. Lossless audio compression was considered to be a luxury previously due to the limited storage space. However, as storage technology progresses, lossless audio files can be seen as the o
