This paper aims to address teenage pregnancy out of wedlock in the Muslim Malay community in Malaysia. Since its independence in 1957, Malaysia has been experiencing dramatic economic and social transformations. Consequently, the living conditions of the Malays have greatly improved, and modernity has made them fully engaged in materialistic lifest

Early physical therapy intervention has a significant impact on improving the impairments and disabilities of Erb’s Palsy patients. Proper early assessments and management by physical therapists can reduce physical complications and mental health problems, thus enhancing the child’s opportunities to return to their maximal activity daily living

This paper describes the ARABTALK® Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis system, developed at RDI , for Arabic language. ARABTALK® is a state-of-the-art corpus based concatenative TTS system. The system employs Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) statistical prosody based models for duration, energy, and global pitch contour prediction. In addition, it has

This research attempts to study the major project management issues in the oil and gas industry. The data for the study was drawn from the intensive interviews of ten respondents from oil and gas companies in Malaysia. The study contributes to the body of knowledge in three main ways. The first finding of this study indicates that by allocating suf

The screening practices for phytochemical compound from plants is essential to explore more natural sources to replace synthetic antibiotics which generally associated with multi-drug resistance as well as having side effects such as hypersensitivity, immune-suppression and allergic reactions. In this study, screening of antibacterial property from

This paper presents the development of intelligent control technique for yam storage system based on fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The expert control of yam storage system is formulated in the form of fuzzy rules. The inputs to the controller are the outside and inside temperature, wind speed and presences of rain. The output is the window opening

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is widely used in the machining of electrically conductive hard metals for the production of dies and moulds. This paper describes an investigation of the effect of electrode cooling on the amount of elements migration from the electrode to the workpiece surface and from the workpiece to the electrode surface. I

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a thermal process in which the workpiece and the wire (tool) experience an intense local heating in the discharge channel. The high power density results in the erosion of a part of the material from both electrodes by local melting and vaporization. Whilst good surface finish and high material removal
