The study is primarily based upon the party manifestos, documents and collection of results of the 2008 and 2013 General Election in Malaysia Election Commission. The political parties, their constituencies, seats won, seat lost and to whom and where, were analysed. Issues pertaining to the general elections and afflicting problems of the Pakatan R

Femtocells are a promising technology to increase the capacity, efficiency and the coverage of the cellular networks. However, several challenging issues must be addressed and resolved before femtocell technology becomes a reality. One of the most important challenges is assessing, modelling and mitigating the interference. This book reviewed diffe

Introduction: BATMAN and BAYESIL are software tools, which can provide a solution for automated metabolite quantifications based on the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectral data of bio-fluids. However, their specific application for the quantitative 1H-NMR based metabolomics of urine has not been investigated. Objectives: The aim of

Duplex stainless steel (DSS) is a material with high potential successes in many new applications such as rail car manufacturing, automotive and chemical industries. Although DSS is widely used in various industries, this material has faced wear and hardness problems which obstruct a wider capability of this material and causes problems in current

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is an intelligent system which has the capability to recognize the character on vehicle number plate. It is a combination of hardware and software designed to offer the optimum reliability. Since the past decades, many researchers have been proposed to recognize the vehicle number plate and implemented it i

The purpose of this paper is to examine the structure of factors affecting active learning behavior for Islamic studies students’ in three southern border provinces of Thailand. Data were collected from 300 undergraduate students by using a questionnaire. The samples were from three universities in three southern border provinces of Thailand. The

Language identification system has become a very active research nowadays due to the need of intercultural human communication. This paper proposed a Language Identification System using Line Spectral Frequencies (LSF) and Linear Vector Quantization (LVQ) network. LSF was used due to its robustness compared to normal linear predictor coefficients (

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

In this paper, a multiwavelength two-mode Brillouin fibre laser generated by two-mode optical fibre (TMOF) is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. The system comprises a 500 m long TMOF. A tunable laser source amplified by a high power erbium doped fibre amplifier acts as the Brillouin pump (BP) followed by a single mode fibre Bragg grating as

Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been utilized extensively to obtain high contrast medical image due to its safety which can be applied repetitively. Edges are represented as important contour features in the medical image since they are the boundaries where distinct intensity changes or discontinuities occur. Many traditional algori
