Driver’s alertness on road is very important in order to avoid any misfortunate accidents that can lead to injuries and in some worst case, death. The statistics proves that one of the significant factors that cause car crash is the driver sleepiness. In order to prevent any future accidents and as well as to prevent the driver from falling aslee

The explosive growth of computing and multimedia information communications has led to human machine interaction in daily life. The increasing demand for multimedia information on the web, streaming video over the Internet has received tremendous attention from academia and industry. Transmission of real-time video typically has bandwidth, delay an

Business Ethics is intended for undergraduate students pursuing business and accountancy courses at local institutions of higher learning. It discusses business ethics in depth from a local perspective. The book opens with discussions on the key concepts and theories of business ethics, followed by important topics such as corporate governance, cor

Pereskia bleo is a species of primitive cactus Pereskia that is distinguished by its green leaves. In the present study, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of P. bleo leaf extracts were subjected to multivariate analysis allowing for rapid prediction of antioxidant activity as well as identification of contributing functional groups.

It is well-known that empirical models to estimate determinants of price are generally ad hoc in nature, not least because markets for different goods are affected by different contexts and factors. Even if the good is the same, data and measurement constraints often yield different model specifications (and hence, results) in different studies. Mo

The paper describes how complex co-ownership issues arising from estate-distribution can lead to uneconomic farm sizes or sometimes prevent farming activities altogether (through land-use conversion or land abandonment). Muslims in Malaysia rely almost exclusively on Fara’id laws in which ownership of all the deceased’s assets, including land,

This paper presents assessments of empirical conversion methods in obtaining cumulative distribution function of rainfall rate at 1-minute integration time. From collected measured data in Kuala Lumpur, cumulative distributions of rainfall rate at various integration times were compiled. Four conversion methods were selected in the assessment namel

Background: Antiepileptic drug (phenytoin) is extensively used by pregnant women who have seizure disorders. It is reported to produce a variety of facial defects, and considered as an important cause of nongenetic cleft palate in their offspring.

A study has been embarked with the aim to identify the best formulation capable of obtaining statistics of precipitation intensity at 1 - minute integration time from longer integration times. Few years back, t he ITU - R has proposed a conversio n method claimed to be capable of generating precipitation intensity at 1 - minute integration time . M
