Prevalence of active smokers in Malaysia is remaining high (22.8%) despite the wide availability of quit-smoking services. Rather than look at the patients’ factors alone, the possible negative factors from health care providers should also be explored. Therefore, knowledge, attitude and practice of the healthcare professional on smoking cessatio

This paper presents the novel design of an ultra" #ideband (UWB) antipodal Vivaldi antenna using periodic elliptical slots (PES"AVA) for microwave and radar imaging applications. Further, the high permittivity (ɛr=10.2) dielectric lens which triangular in shaped is introduced in"!ront (PES" AVA"3) to improve the linear polariza

Claims are furnished in several patents that swirling the intake air in SI engines can improve fuel economy and reduce environmental impact. In this paper, we investigate the effect of a free rotating air swirling device (FRASD) installed in the air intake hose on the overall performance and emission characteristics of an SI engine. FRASDs with thr

Social networking has become a fact that we cannot live without even if we try. It has become a day to day activity or even yet a chore. Where we share our life experiences. We have all become its slave! Social networks bring many benefits to the user and the world at large. These advantages from an expert perspective includes sharing of informatio

This has created new excitement and challenges for academicians, this study will focus on IoT adoption and acceptance in higher educational institutes of Pakistan. The way IoT in learning environments supports educat

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a set of scaling laws for the preliminary design of air launch vehicles. Scaling laws have been successfully used for the early stages of preliminary design of aerospace vehicles. A set of scaling laws for the preliminary design of air launch vehicle are derived from first principles. The scaling laws are t

An alternative composite material which is a mixture of bio-fiber with nano filler and polymer known as hybrid bio-composite has become a state of the art in composite research and development. The hybrid bio-composite has been widely studied with different combinations for the application of secondary structure in automotive industry, packaging, a

In this paper, we draw attention to the importance of the lateral convection heat transfer effect on the operation of thermoelements with variable cross-sectional area. The significance of lateral heat convection arises from a new application, in which thermoelements form the walls of a MEMS-based convergent-divergent micronozzle in order to pump h

Geriatric diabetic patients contribute to the major demographic background of diabetic patients follow up in primary health clinics. Despite their increasing age and morbidities, they are still targeted towards good sugar control achieving ideal HbA1c level, without taking into consideration of their quality of life. This study aims to determine th
