The objective of this study is to expand our understanding of the factors that affect knowledge sharing among academic staff in Malaysian higher academic institutions. Although previous research has identified several factors that affect knowledge sharing, further research needs to be carried out to ascertain factors that affect knowledge sharing,

Speech is the most natural form of communication and interaction between humans; whereas, text and symbols are the most common form of transaction in computer systems. Therefore, interest regarding conversion between speech and text is increasing day by day for speech oriented human-computer interaction. Microsoft Corporation developed Speech Appli

The concept of splicing system was first introduced by Head in 1987. This model has been introduced to investigate the recombinant behavior of DNA molecules. Splicing systems with finite sets of axioms only generate regular languages. Hence, different restrictions have been considered to increase the computational power up to the recursively enumer

This paper presents the effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness in end milling of Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V under the influence of magnetic field from permanent magnets. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a small central composite design was used in developing the relationship between cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut, with surfac

We provide an example of Lyapunov for doubly stochastic operators on a finite dimensional simplex. Besides we study the limit behavior of the trajectories of some extreme doubly stochastic operators on two dimensional simplex. We prove that except for certain points the trajectories of extreme doubly stochastic operators tend to the center of two d

An absence of ethical decision-making by businesses can be understood as a problem of social judgment, which leads to an increase of misconduct at all levels. In this paper, the researchers investigated the ethical and leadership guidelines from the Soorah Al-Hujuraat and then tried to explore ethical business decision making process of management

A newly fabricated filter unit as shown in Figure 4 has been found to be significantly improved for its removal capability of microbiological hazardous materials from the filtered water. It provides a safe drinking water in the point of view of microbiological, toxicity,softening hardness and pH value. All kinds of parameters for drinking water hav

We propose a continuous variable quantum key distribution protocol based on discrete modulation of eight-state coherent states. We present a rigorous security proof against the collective attacks by taking into consideration the realistic lossy and noisy quantum channel,the imperfect detector efficiency, and the detector electronic noise. This prot

This paper summarises the research carried out to develop Finite Element (FE) modelling and predictive techniques for damage, fracture, fatigue and fretting fatigue problems. A damage model is developed based on Continuum Damage Mechanics and integrated within FE code. It is then used to predict the number of cycles to crack initiation in adhesivel

Our knowledge about a product, process or a system in the scientific and engineering disciplines is often obtained from experimentation. Experiments can discover many unexpected things and highlighted issues for further detailed study. The emerging of advanced products and processes are changing rapidly, customers are more demanding and product lif
