Books and other library materials should not be seen as physical items shelved on the stacks, they should be regarded more for the important information they contain, and how useful this information is for users seeking to satisfy their needs or passion for reading these materials. However, these materials should be regarded as objects governed by

As contained in her national development mission, Malaysia is expected to become a developed and high income economy by 2020. A mission favourably referred to as the Vision 2020. The realisation of such a noble goal will not come on a silver platter. Perhaps this awareness underscores the identification of certain sectors of the economy by the Mala

Caregivers may experience the need for information, social support, a range of services and financial support in caring for children with disabilities. However, some of these needs are unmet. This study aims to determine the perceived unmet needs among caregivers of children with disabilities at the Community-based Rehabilitation centre (CBR). A cr

This paper presents a robust control design based on constrained optimization using Differential Evolution (DE). The feedback controller is designed based on state space model of the plant considering structured uncertainty such that the closed-loop system would have maximum stability radius. A wedge region is assigned as a constraint for desired c

In the present work, densification of synthesised hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramic prepared via chemical precipitation method was investigated. HA samples was prepared by compaction at 200 MPa and sintered at temperatures ranging from 800°C to 1400°C. The results revealed that the HA phase was stable for up to sintering temperature of 1250°C. Howe

A viral disease like dengue lacking a specific form of treatment is a high menace to human health. Situation becomes worse in developing countries like Pakistan because of poor health care services and facilities. Using data from earlier works and analyzing them, this review aims to explore the disease epidemiology. Dengue Virus (DENV) destroys the

Abstract: Increasing awareness of hazards associated with the use of antibiotic and chemical agents has accelerated investigations into plants and their extracts as new sources of antimicrobial agents. Therefore, this study is aimed at determining the antimicrobial activity of Poly Butylene Succinate extracts of Piper sarmentosum leaves and stems a

Computational intelligence has been successfully applied to many engineering applications including control engineering problems. In this paper, a robust state feedback control design using particle swarm optimizer based constrained optimization is proposed. The feedback controller is optimized based on state space model of the plant with structure

To safeguard the religio-cultural values of the media audience against the repugnant values often propagandized in the mass media, there has been emphasis on the ethical codes of media producers, reporters and the nature of the message itself. Aiming to achieve the same goal, this study underscores the ethical principles of responsibility and accou

System transformation is a process that has its beginning and flow, and gradually arrives at the closing stages, that are likely to bring into being the intended system, though no system is safe from rolling back. Notwithstanding the considerable achievements of Kosovo democracy on system transformation, above all on the transition from an authorit
