The purpose of the study is to assess the factors affecting online book purchase behavior among the Malaysian Muslim students. The study is conceptual in nature. It uses the extensive literature review to configure a conceptual map that influences Malaysian Muslim students’ online book purchase behavior. with the exclusive exploration of prior re

Biomass obtained from agricultural residues or forest can be used to produce different materials and bioenergy required in a modern society. As compared to other resources available, biomass is one of the most common and widespread resources in the world. Thus, biomass has the potential to provide a renewable energy source, both locally and across

Empirical values of Epg for swelling clay and superabsorbent hydrogel lie between small and large pore models, suggesting some overlap of the double layers across the flow path of the materials. Based on Eq. (2), the electroosmotic dewatering is especially effective in removing liquid from highly compressible difficult-to-filter sludge, since it le

Generalized Method of Moments(GMM) is an estimation procedure that allows econometric models especially in panel data to be specified while avoiding often unwanted or unnecessary assumption, such as specifying a particular distribution for the errors, Panel data is combination of time series and cross section data that contain observations on thous

Rain is the major source of attenuation for microwave propagation above 10 GHz. In tropical and equatorial regions where the rain intensity is higher, designing a terrestrial and earth-to-satellite microwave links is very critical and challenging at these frequencies. This paper presents the preliminary results of rain effects in a 23 GHz terrestri

Abstract. In the field of aviation, it is well known that a vehicle’s stability and takeoff flight segment are critical issues for a flight vehicle design. These problems become more critical for a hybrid buoyant aircraft which is concealed as an airship with huge volume of hull as compared with fuselage of a conventional aircraft. In the present

Abstract. In the event of an impact with an automobile, pedestrians suffer multiple impacts with the bumper, hood and the windscreen. The characteristics of a vehicle’s front end and structural stiffness have a significant influence on the kinematics and injury risk of the pedestrian’s body regions, in a vehicle-to-pedestrian collision. In this

Background Sitagliptin is a DPP-IV inhibitor and has been proven to reduce HbA1c by 0.8% when used as monotherapy and up to 2.1% when used in combination with maximum dose of metformin. Objectives To evaluate the glycemic control in patients treated with sitagliptin either as monotherapy or as add on therapy. Design and Method This was a retrospect

This research study eva luated the effectiveness of the Bachelor of Arts Education (BA.Ed.) in preparing secondary school teachers. Using the views of the Graduate teachers the study focused on two issues; Firstly, the theoretical coverage of four selected aspects of the pedagogi cal curriculum namely; classroom organization and management, lesson

The Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE) is on of the universal mathematical models and it arises in a such diverse areas as plasma physics, condensed matter physics, Bose–Einstein condensates, nonlinear optics, etc. In this work the scattering of the soliton of the generalized NLSE on the localized external potential has been studied, taking i
