Image Retrieval System (IRS) is commonly based on searching keywords in the surrounding text of images by employing content-independent metadata, or data that is not directly concerned with image content. Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) focuses on image features, as it extracts image features such as dominant color, color histogram, texture, a

This study attempts to investigate the influence of curriculum track choices, namely academic, career and technical education, dual enrollment, and general curriculum, on dropout likelihood, while controlling for predictors that predict both curriculum track choices and dropout likelihood among high school students. Analysis will be conducted via H

Studies were carried out on the extraction of the rhizome of Kaempferia galanga L. using steam distillation and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). After purification, the major compound of the K. galanga L. extract, ethyl methoxycinnamate (EPMC) was identified by NMR and MS spectrometry. Biotransformation of EPMC using Aspergillus niger afforded

Antibacterial activity of synthetically synthesized benzoyl thiourea and halobenzoyl thiourea bearing α-alanine and β-alanine compounds were investigated against gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and gram-negative bacteria (Esherichia coli). The study of antibacterial activity of the compounds was conducted by u

The electrochemical performance of Al-air cell employing seawater and NaCl electrolyte of various concentrations has been investigated. The open circuit voltage and discharge capacity of the cell correlate well with the electrolyte conductivity data. Using 4 M NaCl electrolyte which possesses the highest conductivity, the Al-air cell registers an o

Rail overcrowding has been associated with a number of negative consequences, including psychological stress, adverse health effects, negative behavioural reactions, and spillover effects. Despite the seriousness of this issue, there is little consensus on the appropriate demand management strategies to sufficiently cope with the increasing passeng

In this study, the effort was to predict and elucidate the molecular structure of newly-synthesized carbonyl thiourea derivatives with their anti-amoebic activities. Therefore, inhibition concentration of 50% the cells population (IC50) was determined for 44 carbonyl thiourea derivatives on a pathogenic Acanthamoeba sp. (Hospital Kuala Lumpur isola

The evidence from the literature is mixed regarding the cultural differences in human adaptation to crowds. While some studies show that members from collectivistic culture experience adverse effects of crowd density, others show that this is not the case. The extent to which culture affect human’s psychological and physiological states, therefor
