The task of simulation is often complicated for which many naive users often seek for relatively easier solutions. In many cases, simulations are done without any visual output which makes them non-attractive. In this demo, we present ViSim; a new simulation demonstration tool that has a user-friendly graphical interface. ViSim could be useful for

This paper describes a formal experiment carried out to investigate the effect of the personality factor Openness to experience on the academic performance of students who practiced pair programming (PP) in higher education. The experiment was carried out at the University of Auckland, using as subjects undergraduate students attending an introduct

European and Asian developed countries consider History as the main subject in elementary and high schools curriculum, which is professionally reinforced in higher education. This consideration is intended to ensure that people respect leader and community contribution to maintain and develop excellences of civilization in this country. One way or

A study of the influence of water environments on the cyclic fatigue crack behavior of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), with (PVC-M) and without (PVC-U) chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) impact modifier was undertaken and compared with corresponding results in air. Two frequencies of 1 and 7 Hz were applied to assess the influence of frequency on the fatigue

The study is essentially an exploratory survey, which sets out to obtain some concrete information on the knowledge and understanding of, and attitudes towards, the acquisition of job skills in history fieldwork method among Malaysian secondary schools pupils based on the Integrated Curriculum for Secondary Schools (ICSS). The researcher employed t

Aim: To examine whether smoking status of adult Bangladeshis was influenced by their parental smoking behaviour. Study design: Descriptive cross sectional study. Place and duration of study: A community-based study was conducted in urban and rural areas of Bangladesh during the period from 2001 to 2003. Methodology: Data of the cross-sectional stud

Fire accelerants such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel have commonly been used in arson cases. Improved analytical methods involving the extraction of fire accelerants are necessary to increase sample yield and to reduce the number of uncertain findings. In this study, an analytical method based on headspace single drop microextraction (HS-SDME) f

Phytate is largely unavailable to monogastric animal such as swine, poultry and fish, as they lack of sufficient endogenous enzymatic activity to hydrolyze phytate. The result is the elimination of precious nutrients that would be beneficial to their growth; furthermore they will excrete most of the indigestive phytate which can contribute to phosp

Electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) grinding is a new method for achieving ultraprecision surface on hard and brittle materials. In ELID grinding, pulsed direct current voltage is applied on the metal-bonded diamond wheels to ensure constant protrusion of sharp cutting grits throughout the grinding cycle. The peak dressing voltage is kept const

Objective: The purpose of the research is to have a better understanding on perception, knowledge and attitude towards HIV/AIDS in a fishermen's village of East Coast, Malaysia. The findings will be used to further improve HIV/AIDS intervention programmes. Design: A cross sectional study was conducted among adult Malays aged 18 to 49 in a fishe
