In this paper, passively Q-switched fiber laser is demonstrated and the laser output energy is stabilized by using 2.4 m Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) with a graphene oxide used as saturable absorber (GO-SA). According to the experimental results in the Q-switched configuration, the laser cavity emits a wavelength centered at 1,558.75nm, and by i

This study examined TESL pre-service teachers’ motivation level to integrate critical thinking in their teaching and the influence of ‘year of study’ towards their motivation.

The air industry is very competitive. Operating costs are high. To survive and earn profits, it is imperative for airlines to save substantial costs. This can come from selling tickets online. However, in many developing countries including Malaysia, a lot of consumers still refuse to buy flights online. Perceived risk of the internet is a key like

Numerous studies comparing native and non-native English teachers have found that ESL students prefer native teachers for teaching speaking skills and pronunciation. In other words, non-native teachers are viewed as less superior in matters related to spoken language. This study explores international students' views on spoken English of Malays

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has been the interest in many researchers. It has become increasingly popular over the last decade. Quadrotor UAV is a small helicopter and is highly unstable without any flight controller. Therefore, a proper control on the UAV’s dynamic need to be applied for stabilization. An accurate model of the vehicle dynamics

Background: Myrmecodia pendans (M. pendans), or Sarang Semut, is an epiphyte with anticancer potential. It was recently reported that it induces apoptotic activity in the human oral squamous carcinoma (HSC-3) cell line. This study aimed to investigate the effect of M. pendans treated samples on the expression of apoptotic markers, Bax and Bcl-2. Me

Androgenic hair pattern is one of the newest soft biometric trait that can be used to identify criminals when their faces are covered in the evidences of criminal investigation. In real-life situation, sometimes the available evidence is limited thus creating problems for authorities to identify criminal based on the limited data. This research dev

Introduction: The childhood immunization can be considered as mortality prevention during the last decades particularly among children under 5 years of age. Parents’ knowledge and practices regarding immunization are likely to be a major factor that could contributed a successful immunization. As the primary health decision makers for their child
