This study examines the relationship between corporate governance structures and financial performance, focusing on construction companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. We apply a multiple regression analysis on data collected from annual reports of the companies for the years of 2009 and 2012. The corporate governance variables considered are board si

Highlights:The research aims to design an instructional module for learning Arabic using Augmented Reality. This research employs analytical and descriptive methods, by reviewing documents, prospectus and scientific magazines printed at the university. In addition, this research relies on other researches, books and scientific journals. The researc

Humans tend to rely on technology in almost everything they do in everyday life. To meet the demand of consumers, the agriculture industry has been improving their farming methods and techniques for maximum efficiency. This paper is focused on electronics, embedded systems and wireless technology to be integrated with farm monitoring, particularly

The growth of high-performance semi-structural and structural applications made from natural resources is growing universal, due to renewable and ecological matters. Machining natural fibers reinforced polymer (NFRP) has become a challenger in the machining processes for incorporating them into the NFRP industrial production chains. The thermo-phys

—Flexible and stretchable circuits have recently gained traction in the market due to the popularity of wearables and the rapid advancement in microsensors, big data and the Internet of Everything. For devices to be truly wearable, they need to conform to the shape of the human body, allowing ease of use, with sensors being pervasive but not intr

Polychlorinated biphenyls, PCBs are toxic, persistent organic pollutants (POP) which are harmful to human and environment due to their lipophilic characteristic and not easily degraded in the environment. Biodegradation is one of the alternative ways to reduce PCBs contamination. This study intended to isolate bacteria from landfill leachate using

The purpose of this study is to identify theZn2+ions concentrationat Sn-Zn coating which could be produced in the absence of a complexing agent. The electrolytic bath comprised of SnCl2 and ZnCl2. The ionic mole ratio Zn2+/Sn2+ of the electrolytic bath studied were 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1. Pure Zn and Sn electrodeposits were also prepared. The

The main objective of this article is to demonstrate by performing simulation measurements of biosensor that can detect the presence of pathogens through simultaneous mass and impedance techniques. This biosensor merges two biosensing techniques namely resonant frequency measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) on a single bios

Objectives: Class III malocclusion is a dominant inherited, slowly progressive dento-skeletal disharmony. It is characterized by over growth of mandible, stunted growth of maxilla, or a combination of both. The aetiology of class III malocclusion and the role of genes in this phenotype remain indistinct. The main objective of this study was to dete

Malocclusion is one of the most common craniofacial problems observed worldwide. Affected individuals suffer not only from aesthetic concerns but also from functional problems, such as with mastication and pronunciation. The prevalence of malocclusion in East Asians is higher than in other races. Reports have shown besides environmental factors, th
