Malaysia has about half a million persons with disabilities registered with the Department of Social Welfare. This study, therefore, tries to determine factors influencing digital skill competencies (technical competency, cognitive competency, and personal competency) among persons with disabilities. The factors explored are intensity of Internet u

The objective of this paper is to empirically examine the role of Islamic microfinance in poverty alleviation in Mogadishu, Somalia. The study basically concerns on two objectives which are; to observe the current practice of Islamic microfinance in Mogadishu, Somalia, and to investigate the effectiveness of Islamic microfinance institutions in thi

An abrupt increase in urban road traffic flow caused by incidental congestion is considered. The residual traffic capacity varies in different lanes after an accident, and the influence of accident duration on traffic flow is taken into account. The swallowtail catastrophe model was built based on catastrophe theory. The critical state of traffic c

It is critical to have a knowledge base model for efficient storage of extracted knowledge. This ensures that the knowledge is stored in a meaningful way to be used for different applications. The efficiency of the knowledge base model depends largely on the rules of construction. Knowledge represented using logico-linguistic techniques and semanti

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of six experimental diets on growth performance, ammonia excretion and immunity of albino and normal Apostichopus japonicus. A factorial design was used, the factors being type of diets (six levels) and colour of A. japonicus (two levels). A total of 30 randomly selected albino A. japonicus were h

In this paper, a new investigation of crack propagation on a commuter aircraft wing is discussed. The aircraft is a 19-seater multi-purpose commuter aircraft designed for a mission on the remote area. The dynamic load acting on the wing is assumed as harmonic load considering aerodynamic lift at a particular excitation frequency. A 3D wingbox CAD m

Children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) often vulnerable to fracture even on their daily basic tasks. The unpredicted fracture leads to intramedullary surgery. This study aims to investigate the fracture risk in children with OI in daily basic tasks including standing, walking, and jumping. Ten models of OI finite elements were reconstructed bas

This paper is about the development of a low-cost remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) for the observation of underwater environments without risking human life. The overall safety feature focuses on protecting internal circuits from being overloaded by any unexpected high current as well as protecting battery from being over-discharged to pr

This research project attempted to investigate the impact of applying philosophical inquiry method of teaching on classroom engagement and reasoning skills of low achievers. Low achievers are those who have the potential to succeed but lagged behind because of several factors that demotivate them to perform at their highest ability. In this study,
