The exploration algorithm is one of the most important roles in the searching mechanism. In robotics field, the exploration algorithm deals with the implementation of the robot to enlarge the information over a particular environment. In other words, the implementation of exploration algorithm into a robot is intended to survey the situation or con

Rice field eel, Monopterus albus, is widely consumed by the local people as a source of traditional medicine. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the M. albus aqueous and lipid extracts as an aphrodisiac based on the mounting behaviour and mating assessment. The doses used for both extracts were 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg. Negative control m

Wind turbines are considered as a renewable energy technologies which have the potential to reduce environmental pollutions from conventional energy sources. Currently, many research activities have concentrated on improving and modifying the aerodynamic performances of wind turbine blades through wind tunnel testing and complicated computational i

The question of data privacy and how to protect it is increasingly critical in today's digital economy. There is a need to understand the concept of data privacy in the context of the digital economy where the proliferation of personal information has triggered the commodification of personal data. In this talk, those concept is being discussed

Palm Kernel Cake (PKC) consists many nutrients that are useful to be applied in the industry and directed studies towards utilization of this substrate in order to produce enzymes like lipases. This enzyme can be applied in various type of industry including pharmaceutical industries, food industries, cosmetics industries and others. Using palm ker

This book discussed the para-social interaction between young adults of IIUM and public figures of their choice. It considers the power distance as the determining factor that influence the para-social interaction between them. On another aspect, this study also looks at the attitudes that the young adults develop towards the public figures based o

Benzo(a)pyrene degradation was compared in soil that was either composted, incubated at a constant temperature of 22 °C, or incubated under a temperature regime typical of a composting process. After 84 days, significantly more (61%) benzo(a)pyrene was removed from composted soil compared to soils incubated at a constant temperature (29%) or at co

The purpose of this paper is to examine antecedents that predict researchers’ usage intention of Open Access Journals (OAJs) in Tanzania, with a specific focus on the Agricultural Research Institutes (ARIs). Specifically, the study investigates major predictors of usage intentions of OAJs. Data were collected from pilot study. A total of 60 (85.7

In this paper, the mixed convection boundary layer flow and heat transfer of Jeffrey fluid past a horizontal circular cylinder with viscous dissipation effect and constant heat flux is discussed. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into dimensionless forms using the appropriate non-similar transformation. Numerica

Purpose: This study investigated the patterns of opioid co-prescription with benzodiazepine and other concomitant medications among opioid users. Opioid dose in each type of co-prescription was also examined. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among opioid users receiving concomitant medications at an outpatient tertiary
