Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of fasting on blood lipid profile in fasting obese and non-obese subjects. Design/methodology/approach: Male and female subjects from the International Islamic University, Malaysia (IIUM), Kuantan Campus were assessed for body compositional changes during Ramadan fasting. In total, 25 mal

This work is about modeling a readout system across narrow gaps using inductive means for a contact-less transfer of signal. The signal source could be devices implanted in humans or animals or even devices embedded buried in inaccessible locations for monitoring purposes, while the readout devices are normally in accessible locations in the extern

In this paper, a novel profilograph has been designed and implemented to generate virtual terrain. Profilograph is necessary for civil engineering applications to map pavement smoothness. Traditional profilographs are big in size and take long time for mapping, although they are capable of generating pavement map but unable to show 3D graph. The pr

Metacognitive Strategies have been shown to contribute significandy to language learning success. Previous studies have also shown the important role that these Strategies play in ensuring success in listening comprehension. These studies have informed us that it was the differences in metacognitive Strategy use that differentiate skilled and less-

First of all, we would like to express our solemn gratitude to the “Almighty Allah” for giving us time and keeping us fit for work to timely complete this arduous project. Thanks to the authors from different countries who have contributed to the book, also thanks to those authors whose manuscripts we have not been able to include due to the ri

An important task in empirical research on prejudice, respect and inclusion in children is the measurement of attitudes and behaviours. Although the literature on measuring attitudes and behaviour in adults is of some assistance, it is also clear that the task of measuring children’s attitudes and behaviour presents particular problems and challe

The recent world, development of effective technologies for linking the object wireless information is being prompted in various fields. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is the latest technology for automatic identification which allows the transmission of a unique serial number wirelessly. The purpose of this paper is to review RFID systems a

This paper present a novel and scrutinized parametric modeling of a laboratory scale helicopter, a twin rotor multi input multi output system (TRMS), by employing a real-coded genetic algorithm (GA) technique. The main goal of this work is to emphasise the potential benefits of this architecture for real system identification. Instead of working on
