Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) give a complete description for large-scale systems consisting of small subunits, called agents. The behavior of MAS is particularly interesting because the agents may fulfill certain tasks as a group, even in the individual agent does not know about the overall task. MAS have attracted more and more interest in recent yea

Infectious diseases and cancer still become a significant health problem that causes high morbidity and mortality rate throughout the world. The resistance and adverse side effects of modern antimicrobial and anticancer drugs were still reported to date. Thus, it is highly required to develop alternative therapeutic regimens from natural products o

As knowledge has been recognized as an inseparable imperative strategy of organization, organizations look at knowledge as a power which drives advantages to them. However, many organizations believe it is not about just the existence of knowledge but the organizational growth has been driven from the act of knowledge sharing. Through many establis

Are mainstream teachers in Malaysia knowledgeable about types of students with special needs? Are there enough support services as well as facilities provided for these students’ education? This study investigated the knowledge level of Malaysian in-service trainee teachers undergoing a distance learning Bachelor of Education program sponsored by

We provide a general nonlinear protocol for a structured time-varying and synchronous multi-agent system. We present an opinion sharing dynamics of the multi-agent system as a trajectory of a polynomial stochastic operator associated with a multidimensional stochastic hypermatrix. We show that the multi-agent system eventually reaches to a consensu

We consider a nonlinear protocol for a structured time-invariant and synchronous multi-agent system. In the multi-agent system, we present opinion sharing dynamics as a trajectory of a cubic triple stochastic matrix. We provide a criterion for a uniform consensus of the multi-agent system. We show that the multi-agent system eventually reaches a co

Solvability criteria for cubic equations over the p-adic field, where p>3, were studied in previous works. For small primes p=2,3, this problem was open. In this paper, we study this problem in the case p=2. The case p=3 would be studied elsewhere in the future.Solvability criteria for cubic equations over Z 2 * Mansoor Saburov and Mohd Ali Kha

In agriculture, the use of machine vision technology has been increasing throughout the years. The machine vision technology is highly essential in the process of fruit harvesting in order to increase the production rate and decrease the cost incurred by hiring human workers. Fruit detection and classification have been a challenging issue for mach

We provide a general nonlinear protocol for a structured time-invariant and synchronous multi-agent system. We present an opinion sharing dynamics of the multi-agent system as a trajectory of a polynomial stochastic operator associated with a stochastic multidimensional hyper-matrix. We provide a criterion for a uniform consensus in the multi-agent

A vector majorization is a preorder of dispersion for vectors with the same length and same sum of components. The vector majorization can be viewed as a pre-order of distance from a uniform vector. A pre-order of distance from any fixed vector of positive components, so-called r-majorization, is a generalization of usual vector majorization. In th
