Rise of average global temperature and its global disastrous impacts, due to unusual weather conditions, are escalating despite greenhouse gases (GHGs) reduction commitments under the Kyoto Protocol, as the mitigation mechanisms alone cannot do away with the sufferance of the people on long-term basis. It has to be combined with adaptation (Klein,

Bluff body vehicles such as trucks and buses do not have a streamlined shapes and hence have high drag which can be reduced to make great savings in operational cost. While rectangular flaps have been widely studied as both passive add-ons and in active drag reducing systems for bluff bodies, changing the basic geometry of the flap has not been exp

The history of the Nubian community in Uganda is traced from the Ottoman rule over Egypt and Sudan in 1820. This predominant Muslim community was brought to Uganda and later became part of the British Army. Due to colonial Christianization of the education system in Uganda, the Nubians were forced out of public life. They had to sustain their livel

This paper presents a review of the techniques used to reduce aerodynamic drag over bluff bodies such as cylinders, spheres, 2D bodies with blunt backs and their application to commercial road vehicles. The recent research carried out on the drag reduction is presented and categorised. A new classification of the techniques is introduced and major

An improvement in the security of stream cipher is achieved by introducing dynamic polynomial switching in the Linear Feedback Shift Registers. Several researches declared that this introduction enhances the stream cipher's immunity to cryptanalysis. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive survey that summarizes the recent approaches for app

The world nowadays has witnessed a lot of crimes of cyber-attacks where many people suffered from many hackers who tried to steal important information or damage the programs found in the computers of victims. There has become necessity for companies to have different systems for protection. Many companies have been specialized in having systems fo

The brain performs many important functions, and for this reason have been the subject of much research. Electroencephalograms (EEG) and Electrocardiograms (ECG) are techniques used to record electrical activity in the brain and heart respectively. This research was conducted to compare the effect on EEG and ECG temporal signals while listening to

Lightweight block cipher algorithms are vital for constrained environment. There are many applications need secured lightweight block cipher algorithm like credit card, E-passport and etc. In this paper, we propose a new lightweight block cipher algorithm called HISEC. We applied three attacks differential, integral attacks and boomerang attack. Th

The present study was carried out to test the effectiveness of a resilience-based intervention in improving at-risk adolescents’ perceived social support, life satisfaction and distress. A program named “Percaya Diri dan Cemerlang” (Believe in Oneself and Excel) was developed to increase resilience in adolescents. It integrates various skills

People acknowledge the effort of Modern science in bringing cosmos into reality. The research made in space has made what was once considered impossible possible and has opened the cosmos wide for further investigations and discoveries. Modern western empirical science has surely been the most impressive intellectual development since the 16th cent
